Married To Thomas Sangster

04 - Nightmare

Chelsea's POV

It's already 10 pm. And I have no idea why I'm walking on the road, alone. There are no people here, and it seems that no one lives here.

I notice a car coming. It stops where I am standing. Then a guy gets out of the car. Shit, it's Alex.

"Hey babe!" He says walking to me.

"What are you doing here?" I ask and  take a step backwards.

"To get you, babe" he winks.

I feel something not right.

He holds a handcuff and points it at me.

"Chelsea, you have not been good lately. So, I'll handcuff you and punish you" he handcuffs me and push me to get in his car.

"Why are you doing this Alex?"

"To teach you a good lesson"

This is worse than getting married to Thomas.

Anyway, I learned Taekwando before. And I know how to unlock this handcuff. Good thing I brought a bobby pin with me. So I feel pretty brave and I know what to do before he kills me. Get ready to die Alex.

He stops the car in front of an abandon house..

He grabs my arm and takes me to I-don't -know-what-place-this-is-place. I kick him on his manhood and  he starts to curse in pain. He quickly gets a knife and points it at me.

"Do it again, or I'll kill you"

"Then kill me"

He grabs my arm and unlocks the handcuff. He ties me on a chair with a rope.

Now, I'm freaking scared.

Tears are rolling down my cheeks.

"Stop this thing Alex! I'll do anything you want me to do, just let me go" I say between my sobs.

"I want you to kill Thomas and his family!"  He angrily says.

"I can't do that! I-I love him! Just kill me, not them! Why do you hate Thomas so much?! Don't be so fucking selfish Alex!" I shout at him.

He slaps me hard.

Damn, that really hurts.

"I won't let you go Chelsea. Unless, that husband of yours is already dead. And after he gets killed, then you will be mine."

"N-n-no Alex. If you kill Thomas, I'll kill myself too. I will never ever be yours!"

He slaps me again, then pulls my hair.

"You are meant to be mine.. Freaking mine!!!"

I spit on him.

"Okay, you are getting braver Chelsea. How about, I'll cut your finger one by one, one every moment you're going to to shout at me."

I just cry. I think this is the day my life will end.

"I don't love you Chelsea! I just want you! Because of you, my life got miserable. And to pay back, I'll make your life miserable too!"

"Please don't... Have mercy"  i'm going to die. Going to die.

"Loving you before was just a bet. And I lose! Because of you!"

"I lose my money, and everything! Just because of you!"

"And now you're happy, you have the perfect life, the perfect life with Thomas. You're the one who's selfish!"
He shouts at me. I have never seen him so angry.

Someone opens the door. It's Thomas. He's holding a gun. Pointing  at Alex.

"Please, Alex, please. Don't kill him" I beg.

"Thomas save yourself!" I shout.

But before he could make a move, Alex pulls out his gun pointing at Thomas,

and pulls the trigger.

"N-no!!!!! Thomas!!!!!" I can't lose him!

"Uh Chelsea, Tommy is dead. Oh yeah, you're useless!"

He gets the knife. He points it on my neck.

"I should kill you.... I don't need you anymore"

Then he stabs me.

I scream in pain.

"Chelsea!!!!!"

I open my eyes. It's Thomas.

My eyes get watery until tears are falling down.

I hug him.

Thomas's POV

The loud sound of scream wakes me.

I look at my side, it's Chelsea. She has a nightmare.

She screams at the top of her lungs and cries like she's about to die.

I shake her so she'll wake up. But she's still shouting some stuff.

"Chelsea!!!!!"

She opens her eyes, she looks at me with fear. Her eyes are watery.

Then she hugs me.

I don't know what to do. I hug her back.

She rests  her head on my chest.

I can feel my shirt getting wet from her cries and sobs.

"I love you" Chelsea whispers.

What? Did I hear it right?

"Chelsea?"

Oh, she's asleep.

I kiss her forehead and whisper, "I love you too"
