"Wake up, doll... Wake up!"

Somewhere in the distance I heard a voice.
It was a familiar one, and it sounded... angry.
I have to wake up.
Wake up, open your eyes or the voice will get more angry.
I don't want this voice to be angry, bad things happen to me if that voice get's angry.

A flash of pain at the back of my head forced me to open my eyes.

"I said wake up. You'd better listen to me baby."

My eyes focused on the face before me... Kevin!
It really is Kevin.
I wasn't imaging it when I heard his voice.

"You've been a very bad girl. A very very bad girl. How dare you try and abandon me?!"

He looked angry but I could hardly keep my eyes open, I was so drowsy.
I have to keep them open, Kevin will be so angry if I don't keep them open.

"S-sorry."

I slurred and rubbed my eyes in an attempt to keep them open.
It wasn't helping and I felt myself doze off again.
A hard slap on my butt had me open my eyes again with a yelp.

"Sorry, sorry I'm awake!"

I found myself lying over Kevin's knee.
How did I get there?
I thought I was on the ground or something.
Another slap landed on my ass.

"What the hell were you thinking? Running off with that bitch. You gave me a fucking heart attack!"

Wow, that's a little dramatic.
All I did was try to get back home to my family when I had the chance.
Was that so strange?
I don't think it was, considering he kidnapped me.
God, it's hard to think... I'm so sleepy.
I drifted off again resting my head on the couch Kevin was sitting on.

A drop on the floor and the pain that followed with it woke me again.
Kevin grabbed my foot and started pulling me down the hall.

"N-no, please."

I breathed out exhausted, where was I?
This wasn't the same house.
I drifted in and out of consciousness as I was dragged over the floor.

When I woke up again I was in dark room, no light.
No indication where the door was.
My hands were chained to the wall right next to me.
I was sitting on the floor.
Well, at least my legs can move freely.

This must be the time out room.
Why is it always so dark in here?
I don't like being locked up in the dark.
What happened?...
I was on my way home.
How did I end up here?
Kevin... he, he was here right?
Somehow he must have found me again.
Please, just let it be Kevin that found me and not someone else.
Why me?
I'm not asking to be kidnapped, I just wanted to walk home on my own again.
This must be a bad dream, I need to wake up.
Wait... what if my escape was a dream and I never even left in the first place?
But... what did I do then to end up here?
I tried to pull my hand free but it was pointless, they didn't budge.

Now what?
I'm pretty sure Kevin's angry with me.
I do remember him yelling at me or was that a dream?
Slowly my memory was coming back to me.

I remembered walking back home from the therapist.
So that wasn't a dream... it can't be.
Too many details that make good sense.
It was a hard session too.
I had to talk about how Kevin treated me and how I felt about it looking back.
It had only made me miss Kevin which clearly wasn't what she was going for.
I felt so stupid for being honest about it, that look in her face.
I hate those pitiful looks like I'm the one who's insane.
Somewhere in that quiet alley everything became blurry.
That must have been where Kevin found me.
I'm pretty sure it was his voice I heard before the lights went out.
