My mother, the drug addict.
My reason for getting justice.
My reason for killing.
I reach into my desk drawer and retrieve the tiny object inside, setting it in front of me. It’s round and white, an ordinary medicine tablet that’s supposed to treat headaches and minor aches and pains. Except it’s a depressant with an unknown compound that results in behavior similar to a ‘date-rape’ drug.
The symbol on it is a starburst, which could’ve been chosen to represent euphoria or instant relief. But to me, it’s an explosion. Like a bomb, this little pill took my mother’s life.
And the party responsible hasn’t been found.
Every year, finding the manufacturer of this drug becomes more hopeless. Regardless, I won’t give up because my mother deserves to be avenged. Just like Calista.
Someone fucked with her, and I won’t stop hunting them.
How can I fully immerse myself in my obsession with her and make her mine while not knowing what memories torment her? I suppose I could fuck Calista’s secrets out of her, but that doesn’t sit well with me. I prefer to execute a well-thought out strategy as opposed to using brute force. In my experience, manipulating people to give me what I want goes further than violence.
Although with Calista in my life, I’m more volatile than ever.
Just another way she’s ruined me.
A quick glance at the clock on my office wall has anticipation running through me. After putting away the pill, I retrieve my phone from my pocket and send her a message before placing it on my desk, waiting for Calista to text me back. The cell phone I bought her should’ve arrived by now.
Will she follow my instructions?
Hayden: As soon as you get this, text me back so I know you received the phone and everything is in working order.
My phone dings, and I snatch it up, a smile working its way onto my face when I see Calista’s name appear on the screen. Such a good girl.
Calista: I did. Thank you for the phone.
Hayden: You’re welcome. Keep in on you at all times and always answer me.
I’ve always prided myself in how effectively I communicate. I explain everything in detail so that any message I send can’t be misconstrued. No, I make sure people understand exactly what I’m saying, so I can get exactly what I want.
Calista: ??
My brows gather at her response as I try to make sense of it. Is this her way of telling me I’m being overbearing? Or is she flirting with me? I sit there, mulling over this for several minutes, still unable to come up with an answer.
I know for certain that Calista’s attracted to me. Or else she wouldn’t have come while saying my name. However, I want to know what happened on June 24th. Every fucking detail. The fact that this unknown sits between me and her pisses me off.
She will surrender to me.
In all ways and in all things.
Or I will control her through her secrets. Once I learn them.
Calista: The emoji was a joke.
Hayden: When you say something funny, I’ll be sure to laugh.
Calista: I doubt you know how.
She’s not wrong. I barely smile, let alone laugh. Although I did when I killed her father. I doubt she’d appreciate that.
The joke’s on me. He was innocent.
My mood immediately plummets, despite conversing with Calista.
