Torn

Ch. 14. 18 Months

Alastor's POV

I end up in the back seat of a car. Abigail is in the front passenger seat, and some guy is driving. They are talking to each other.

"Did you have to be that mean to the waitress about your streak?," Abigail asks.

"It was under cooked. I wanted a well-done streak, not medium," says the guy.

Yuck! Who wants their streak well done?

"It was a simple mistake. The table next to us had the exact same order. The manager came over, apologized, you got your meal for free, and gave us a free dessert to share. (But you didn't share.)

"She should have checked the order," he says.

"She had us cut into our food when she delivered it! What more do you want?" Abigail asks.

I don't know who this guy is but Abigail can do better.

The guy pulls into the driveway of a small house.

"Well, let's not let what happened ruin the rest of our evening," he says as he puts the car in park. He puts his arm around Abigail and leans in for a kiss.

If they start making out, back to my prison I will go.

Abigail stops him by putting her hand on his chest. He looks at her surprised.

"Our evening together ends here. Thank you for dinner."

She starts to open the door but he hits the lock button preventing her from getting out. I feel my anger start rise.

"Woah, wait a minute now. No good night kiss? This is our 3rd date," he says curiously.

I seriously thought Abigail would have better taste.

She gives him a sweet smile.

"Yes, it's our 3rd date and you were lucky to get a 3rd. The first one you yelled at those little kids, making them cry."

"They ran into me!"

"The 2nd date, your mom called during the middle of it. You yelled at her because she interrupted our date. You even said when you got off the phone that you didn't tell her your plans. Today, you were rude to the staff at the restaurant. I decided that it was nerves on the first date, the second I began to wonder, and today just showed that you are not my type of guy. Now, let me out!"

"Not until I get something! It's the 3rd date that usually means..." He says

"Think again! Let me let out!" Abigail shouts.

I am very angry at this guy I am fixing to interve. I watch him as he grabs Abigail, putting his hands on her chest. Before I can show myself, Abigail rises a fist, and punches him in the nose. He grabs his nose. Abigail takes the opportunity to get out of the car and head to the door. I get out of the car too. Suddenly, the guy gets out of the car.

"You bitch! How dare you punch me in the nose?" He says running towards Abigail.

I am fixing to snap fingers to stop him dead literally. When Abigail turns around and she is holding a gun.

"I am a bitch because I defended myself from you. You got some nerve. Get any closer and you will get more than a nose bleed." she says fearlessly.

The guy stops in his tracks.

"You wouldn't shoot me."

"Get any closer I will."

"You would be arrested."

"This a simple case of self defense and fear of my life. I have cameras set up around my property. Anyone will see what happened to me the car then you came after me. Now get in your car and leave. If you come around my house or me again you will not walk away."
