“You’re a psychopath!”
“She was never going to have my baby. You are the only woman who will bear my children.”
“Fuck you! That’s never going to happen.”
He paces around the room like a wild animal, staring down at my breasts. “It will, and sooner than you think.” Reaching down, he cups my breast roughly.
“Don’t touch me,” I screech, trying to move out of his reach.
“Olivia, Olivia. The sooner you realize you’re mine, the easier this will be.” He grabs my nipple and pinches hard, sending a wave of pain through my body.
Reaching behind him, Evan pulls something out of his back pocket and swirls it around his index finger. Realizing it’s one of the pairs of panties that went missing the night of the break-in, a wave of nausea overtakes me. I turn my head just in time to puke all over Evan’s shoes. “Fuck,” he yells, trying to jump back. “You bitch,” he screams, and cracks me across the face. Darkness overtakes me once more.
As I start to regain consciousness, I hear the faint sound of music. Concentrating, I try to make out the notes. After a few minutes, I can hear the tones of an acoustic guitar. Straining to hear more, I make out the raspy voice of a male singer, but I can’t make out the lyrics. Finally, once I’m fully conscious,
I know exactly what’s playing. It would have been my wedding song, had the nuptials with Evan taken place. It’s playing on a loop, and the lyrics of Collide are repeating over, and over.
The room is pitch black, I can’t see anything. As my eyes adjust to the darkness, I faintly see something in the corner of the room. Straining my neck, I can see what resembles a figure sitting in the darkness. “Remember this song, Liv?” Evan says, and I squeal in surprise. He’s been sitting here the entire time, waiting for me to wake, waiting to torment me further. “Remember how good we were?”
“Were, Evan. That’s the key word. That isn’t us anymore,” I say, trying to quell my panic.
“But it can be. It will be.”
He’s totally lost it. He is completely delusional.
“It’s too late, you’ve gone too far. Just let me go,” I whisper into the darkness.
“Let you go?” He starts laughing, and I go into full on panic mode. “Let you go? Olivia, that will never happen. You are mine, now and forever.”
“Chase will find me.”
“Chase, Chase, Chase. You really think he’s smart enough to look here? If he even thinks you’re missing.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“I mean, as far as everyone is concerned, you just left.”
“What do you mean, I just left? I don’t understand.”
“You emailed your job to tell them you quit, your apartment is free of all your clothes, and you texted Chase to tell him it was over and you never wanted to see him again.”
“I did what?” I scream, horrified. “No, he knows I would never do that! He’ll find me!”
“Well, if he does, it will be after you’re pregnant.”
“Chase will find me before that can ever happen”.
“You could be pregnant right now.”
“That would be impossible. It would take days for my birth control pills to get out of my system.”
“Yes, if you were taking birth control pills,” Evan says, his voice icy cold.
“I have been for years.”
“Yes, you have. But are you sure what you were taking was indeed birth control?” What he’s saying doesn’t make any sense.
“Of course I’m sure.”
