Psycho Love

28

No. This isn't happening. Not again. I'm stuck in this nightmare, that's all. I am going to wake up with one hell of a headache, in Caden's penthouse. There is no way this could be happening again. I stare at the 3 people in front of me and realise that I'm just lying to myself. The 3 people, all of them have bags over their heads, but I know who it is. I know even without looking who they are. Even if I couldn't see Caden's calloused hands, or Trinity's perfectly manicured red nails or Treys newly busted knuckles which are carefully wrapped, I would still know who they are. This is HIS game. Of course, he would take the 3 people closest to me. How could I have been so stupid. I never should've gotten close to them. As soon as I saw his first thread back at the apartment, I should've ditched Trey and hightailed it out of there. But no, I chose to be an idiot. 

Get a grip. Remember I am strong. I am safe. I am not afraid. 

I am strong. I am safe. I am not afraid. 

But I'm not safe. No one I care about is safe. 

"Choose." The voice echoes again, but louder this time.

"Shut the fuck up!" I scream in response. "I am not playing this game again."

"Choose, or they all die."

"I told you; I am not playing your little game. Come and face me you fucking coward."

"You have 5 minutes to decide." The mechanical voice echoes through the warehouse, just like it had done 2 years ago. This time feels different though. I don't know if it's because I am stronger now or that it still seems like I'm stuck in some kind of bad dream, but something feels different. That's when I hear the click of shoes coming from behind me. I try to turn my head, but I can't manage to turn enough to see who it is.

"Hmmm, you look like shit. More so than usual." A hateful voice comes from the darkness. Who is that? I don't recognise the voice. Slowly a small petite woman steps out of the shadows and makes her way around, so she is standing in front of me, her red hair shining under the spotlight above us. She looks familiar but I can't put my finger on it.

"Thanks." I reply sarcastically, "Now, mind telling me who the fuck you are?"

"What, you don't remember me?" She says with an evil smirk as she flips her red hair. I look past her when I hear Caden grumbling something, but I can't make it out. They must've put something over his mouth. Then it clicks and my confidence skyrockets.

"Hold on; Are you the skank that was waiting for Caden, the day I come to the penthouse. What was your name again? Ronnie? No." Bobby is fuming as I continue. "Debby! That was it. I'm locking in Debbie." I give her a victorious smile. 

"You fucking BITCH!" Her palm connects with my cheek, whipping my head to the side. I let out a little chuckle. "What is so funny?" She fumes. "It's funny that you call me a bitch, when you slap like one." 

Bobby grabs the collar of my shirt and pulls her fist back, ready to punch square in the face when a high-pitched noise blares out of the speakers, causing her to drop me and cover her ears with her hands. "Uh Oh. Looks like you angered the boss." I turn to the shadows that surround us and yell, "Stop hiding in the shadows like a coward. Show your face you prick." I will not let him get the best of me. I am not that scared little girl anymore. I am stronger and braver than I was back then.

"Patience. HE will come out when he is ready until then you better choose." She struts over to the others and one by one rips the bags off their heads and viciously pulls the tape from their mouths. 

"I always knew you were a traitorous bitch." Trinity curses at Bobby, before spitting on Bobby's red high heels. 

Bobby doesn't pay much attention to Trey as she rips the tape off his mouth, except to look him up and down and smile maliciously before walking over to Caden and sittings on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Caden. Baby. You can still walk away from this. Come with me." She flutters her eyes in a seductive manner, which makes me feel nauseous. So predictable. She then grabs Caden's face in her hands and kisses him. I look away quickly, bile filling my mouth until I hear her scream. I look over just in time to see her fall off Caden's lap and skid herself away from him, her lip covered in blood. I look back to Caden; he has blood on his lips.
