Previously:

After they left me alone, I got up from the couch and went to the closed window, looked at the busy streets from behind the glass. Subconsciously, I looked at my reflection and pulled out the necklace from under my shirt, the necklace that he gave me, I still wear it, it means a lot to me. Then I looked at the little scar on my neck, that one too, was given by him.

An hour later...

Your Pov:

Right after I ate a sandwich and drank a cup of tea, Agent Parker came back for the investigation. He was so keen to get this case closed.

"Are you ready, miss Harmon?" he asked.

Dr. Wright was not back yet but it looked like he wanted me to start so I gave him a slight nod.

"Alright then. Miss Harmon, just a week ago, Benny Watts decided to let you go. That's what you mentioned the day you were found. Now tell me, what made him do this? Because it's clear that he's obsessed with you." he asked.

I sucked in a deep breath before telling him my part of the story.

Flashback- a week ago

Your Pov:

"I can't do this anymore. Let me go, Benny. Don't you realize that you've practically taken seven months of my life and I'm not allowed to go out, talk to anyone except you and sit here in this house all the time. I'm sick of this! I can't even breathe here anymore. Everything about this place is suffocating and sucking the life out of me!" I screamed at Benny who was patiently listening to me, leaned against the table with his arms folded over his chest.

"I know you are lying y/n! Don't you love me anymore?" asked Benny, his eyes looked as if he was about to cry.

It's true, I still love him, but I can't let him, take everything away from me. I never thought I'd fall for him. But as months passed, I couldn't help but think about what relationship we had. Over all this time Benny became softer on me, he showed that he truly loved me...or that's what I thought at least.

I'm madly in love but it's one of those days when my mind screams at me, telling me that this is wrong, that he's holding me against my will. So again, I decided to stand up for myself.

"I do, but it's time for you to let me go!" I exclaimed.

At this point his rage was uncontainable. He forced his hand through his blonde locks and picked up a glass, threw it on the wall next to him. I flinched at the contact, it shattered into a million pieces all of which scattered on the floor.

"Fine! Get up and leave right now! Get out! Go before I make your life a living hell!" he yelled so loud that I had to cover my ears in fright. Then I got up and bolted out of the house, didn't care that I was running bare feet on the street.

But before I left I heard him sobbing, saying that I would come back to him.

----------

"That's it? He just let you go?" asked Parker.

"Yes" I said.

I regret stepping out of that house...

Agent Parker's Pov:

This was a pretty bad case. Seeing the look on her face, I know that somehow, she wants to go back. But this cannot happen. Benny Watts has just managed to wrap her around his pinky. I will convince her to help us catch him. I have a bad feeling that she knows exactly how to get back to him.

"Tell me dear, do you think this is right? Him keeping you away from your family, friends and life?" I asked her, hoping that her answer would be positive.

"N- no. But he loves me." she said, her eyes glistened with tears instantly.

"Listen up, I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't think he does, y/n. Tell me, can you walk on the streets with him without fearing what he would do if you talked to someone?" I asked.

"No, I'm scared of him, yet I know that I love him." she said.

"This isn't love, y/n. He's a fucking murderer!" I snapped making her go red.

"You don't know anything Parker!" she yelled, got up from the couch and went out of the room, slamming the door shut on my face.

I guess I need Beth to convince her.

Time skip-

Beth's Pov:

Earlier this evening, Parker had convinced me to get y/n know what's right. I knew I had to do this, my sister thought this was love! No, this isn't. And I want my sister back, my old, sassy and know-it- all sister.

Currently we were back at our house, y/n was in her room, sitting on the bed, looking out of the window at the night sky numbly. I knocked on the door and snapped her out of her trance, her neck shot in my direction and her lips turned up in a smile.

"I know what you're here for." she sighed.

"Y/n, I- I miss the old you..." I mumbled.

She looked down at her hands and played with her thumbs. She always did this when something bothered her emotionally.

"I know you really have a thing for him but this isn't fair to you darling. Think about the times we spent together, it's been soo long! I really miss you and I love you y/n. Come back to your sister, please, I beg you." I said, a few tears cascaded down my cheeks.

She immediately looked up at me, she cried too and in the next very second, pulled me in a tight hug. I felt her head nodding on my shoulder, as if she was agreeing. Maybe she was thinking about it before.

"I missed you too, sister. Let's get this over with, no more Benny." she smiled. And it convinced me.

"So tomorrow, you're going to tell me how to get out of this?" I asked her, hoping that she knew exactly how to get to him.

"Yes, I'll tell you." said y/n.

I placed a long kiss on her forehead, tucked her in bed and turned the lights off, knowing that she would fall asleep instantly because this was her real home...

Your Pov:
Beth turned off the lights and shut the door of my room. What was I thinking all this time? She's my sister, my only family, she was always here when I needed her. So no matter how much I think that I love Benny, I have to let him go.

Under the sheets, my hand slipped inside the pocket of my pajama pants and I pulled out a small paper. The number written on it with black ink shined under the moonlight that was creeping through the windows.

The number that I was going to use tomorrow, just once to call him.

Flashback- two months ago

Your Pov:

It's been months since I was here and I've grown to like all the faults in him. Today he gave me a paper, wrote a number on it.

"Call me only when you need me the most. This number will only work once." he said.

"But I'm not leaving, Benny. Neither are you, right?" I asked, hoping that he wasn't going to leave me.

"No darling, just in case, if you ever need me and I'm not around." he smiled.
