'You Are My Precious Obsession' (Completed)

Chapter XIII (Midnight escape)

...

For now, the best scope to survive and stay unhurt is by listening to him. He smiled at me as innocent as ever and I was honestly getting sick of it. His hands traveled to my hair as he gently pulled out the rubberband binding my hair up,

"I told you that you look beautiful when your hair is down" he muttered and I had never felt this uncomfortable in my life before. He pecked my cheeks and patted my head as I softly pushed his hand away,

"I-I am tired" I mumbled, my voice crackling as his smile vanished in a matter of seconds,

"It is alright, just wait at the dining table for me alright, babe? Let me get you some food" He said casually and I was genuinely surprised how he could act as if nothing happened. I obediently sat down in one of the chairs around the table and waited. I wondered why he still kept me alive, and not only that, I noticed that the victims I saw were all males.

"What are you thinking so hard about, babe?" he suddenly spoke as I was thrown out of my thoughts. He kept a plate of scrambled eggs in front of me and sat in the opposite chair as he just...watched me? This guy was creepy from every possible angle known to mathematics, how didn't I notice this before?

"I am not hungry..." I muttered as I ain't dying from poison, not today. He got up from his chair and crept behind me. I felt two hands slithering to my neck as he caught my chin and forced me to look at him above, his eyes were as empty and cold as ever.

"Are you...being cautious around me darling?" he asked as I quickly shook my head in denial and fear, as he slightly giggled, "It is alright, I love you. I will never even think about hurting you, never"

I broke into a cold sweat, I wanted to leave. I wanted to never see him again, never hear his manipulating voice again, never get toyed by him again. I still didn't understand his intention...what does he, a murderer, want from me?

"W-What do y-you want from me?" I asked after summoning up some courage and I immediately felt regret after that. WHY AM I PISSING HIM OFF? IT IS LIKE WISHING MYSELF DEATH!

"...All I ever want is you. Just you" he said as his grip slowly tightened and I felt a little peck on my cheek, "Good night babe"

He released me as I let out my breath which I was holding without my knowledge. That was dangerously too close plus disgusting cause we were a hundred percent over this relationship. But I am not going to break up with him right now without a proper plan, he is a freaking psychopath who will kill me if things don't go his way.

I took out my phone and wondered why he didn't snatch this away from me after clearly knowing that I knew about him being a psychopathic murderer. I unlocked my phone and was about to call the police but his voice scared the daylight out of me,

"What are you looking at in your phone babe?" he asked cunningly as I saw his eyes were staring at me emotionless and frigid cold,

"I am just checking out YouTube..." I lied as I quickly opened YouTube, just in case he snatched my phone away and he did exactly that, he never trusted me in the first place. He looked at the screen and grinned happily,

"Alright. Go to sleep" he ordered as I paced to my bedroom and quickly locked my door. I did not want him to have access to my room anytime soon or probably never. I checked the time and it was midnight, I really hoped Henry understood what I told him, or I would become a dead soul that no one could save.

I quickly opened my bedroom window and unfortunately, that was grilled up. I cannot escape from this. I scouted other ways to escape and there was none except the bedroom window and the bathroom window. The bathroom window was not grilled but kind of too small for me to squeeze out, but I can do it, I have to do it.

I tossed one foot out and then the other and sat facing outside on the window frame. I mean, I can't expect the bathroom window to be big enough anyway. The bathroom window was covered by a curtain, it was really pretty. I quickly ripped it up and tried to make it into a rope and climb out like Rupunzel, but I am not Rupunzel though.

"That is stupid, just jump down" came a familiar voice as I was relieved! It was Henry! Wait...did he just say 'jump down'? Is he crazy? I mean, he totally is. But...

"Thank you for inviting me to die" I joked as he suspended his arms, he was damn serious.

"I will catch you," he said and I was not trusting his words. What is with this weird statement in that weird tone?

"You were bad at sports in high school, I don't trust you with my life-"

As I was bad-mouthing his terrible sports skills, my hand slipped. I was about to scream my lungs out, but then it struck me, I was still stuck in this murderer's house. I shut my mouth and eyes and tried my best not to scream while falling as I was waiting to hit the ground and go to the hospital with one or two broken bones. Several minutes passed, and I never touched the ground.

"Open your eyes, I told you I would catch you" I heard his voice as I slowly opened my eyes and he gently let me down from his arms as I was fully red. That was an awkward thing to do with your best friend. I took a few deep breaths to calm down and to stay focussed on one thing and one thing only, get this murderer in front of justice and out of my life forever. Just a breakup won't do the job.

"W-Whatever, take me to your house and tell me all the information you got about this case, I got involved anyway"
