The Siren

The Affair- Part Three

Hey all!
Thank you so much for all your support lately. It's been hard on me. Its been almost a week since I've talked to him. I really do think I scared him away. It still breaks my heart as I replay that night over and over again in my head. On the bright side, I haven't had an urge since. It's the best feeling in the world. Other than everything that's going on with this guy, I feel like my life is starting to fall together again. I feel like I have a purpose. Seriously, you all are amazing, and I can't thank you all enough for what you have done for me.
Xoxo

I constantly checked my phone, hoping to hear back from Sean. This whole situation with Sean has drained me of everything I've had. Even more than the curse ever did. Maybe that's why I didn't feel urges anymore. I was too caught up in Sean. I set my phone on the coffee table, going to the kitchen. I hadn't been to the Java Bean since that night. I was afraid the police were watching me, which they probably were, but I hadn't done anything wrong. Not recently at least. I poured myself a cup of coffee, slowing going back to the living room. My phone was vibrating like crazy off the table. I ran to it, trying not to spill my coffee. When I saw the name, my heart sunk. Anger started to build inside of me. Stephanie.

"What do you want?" I answered furious.
"Can we talk? I want a chance to explain."
"Oh, you couldn't explain why'll we were in the fucking interrogation room? After you fucking arrested me with no evidence?"
"Abby, I'm sorry. Please, let me come over and explain." There was a long pause as I decided what I wanted to do.
"Fine," I said with a sigh. "But I swear to god, if you're wired, or you're trying to get shit out of me, it'll be the end of you. I don't trust you one bit."
"I understand, and I don't blame you. I wouldn't trust myself after that. I'll be over soon." I threw my phone across the room. She probably was trying to get me to admit to everything. It wasn't going to happen.

It wasn't long before there was a knock on my door. I opened it, letting Stephanie in.
"Abby, I'm sorry."
"Save it. I don't want your apologies or your sympathy. Just tell me what you wanted to and get the fuck out." She took a deep breath before continuing.
"I'll be honest, when I first handed you my number, I was trying to get you to fall into my trap, but then we had such an amazing night that I had started to get feelings for you."
"So then why did you turn me in?"
"I had to. If I didn't, Talia was going to."
"My lawyer?"
"Yes. She was all for getting you in trouble, and then once we arrested you, she turned on me and became your lawyer."
"Well, I guess I'll be having a chat with her."
"Don't hurt her. I'm mad to, but don't hurt her."
"I don't hurt women." I said, staring right into her eyes.
"Oh, well, anyway, one of my officers, Luis, seems to know me better than anyone, and he knew I didn't really want to give the information I had found out."
"Okay, well this doesn't make up for anything. You fell for me, who cares. I don't have feelings for you. You were a hook up, and you even screwed that up. I should have killed you." Tears formed in Stephanie's eyes, one falling down her cheek.
"I know I did you wrong, and I'm sorry! I know that won't make up for anything, but I needed to tell you."
"Okay, well you did, and now you can leave. You can also delete my number, and never talk to me again, unless you have solid evidence to arrest me. Actually, even then have someone else arrest me. I don't want to see you again." I opened the door, and she walked out. I slammed the door closed behind her, locking it. I pulled my phone out, dialing Talia's number.

"Abby! So nice to hear from you."
"Yeah, I feel like we need to go over the case, just in case."
"Sure, when works for you?"
"Anytime, actually. There's something else we need to talk about to, but I'll save that until we're face to face."
"Everything okay?"
"Yeah, I just need the truth."
"Okay, how about I come over tonight? We'll talk."
"See you then." I hung up the phone, setting it on the table. Even though Talia did what she said she wouldn't, I wasn't mad at her. She was on my side now, and even if she got a full confession, it was confidential, and she couldn't turn me in. I was so mad at myself, and more mad at Stephanie. I had never felt rage towards a woman like I did when I saw Stephanie. I wanted to kill her, but I wouldn't. I was going to fight this curse until it was gone for good.
