PSYCHOPATH

Strength

  A day after Olivia was soo ready to fight her fears and fight for justice. She got dressed up, they all waited for her at the hall. Stepping out they all smiled at her as she smiled back. Freda asked if she was ready and she boldly replied yes. They all left in Elvis car, Freda sat behind with her holding tightly onto her hand. They got to the police headquarters and Olivia filed her complaint and told them all what he did to Vicky and what Vicky had told him.
   They came back home as the police went on to do their job. They all asked her to relax as everything was going to be fine. Olivia asked to go see Vicky the next day and Freda offered to go with her. 
   They all were together when Freda received a call of Osborne being arrested. She was excited and gave them all the news. She happily embraced Olivia who shed tears of joy.
" I want to see him, I want to see that guy rot in jail and watch him pay for everything he has done. Please take me there"
Elvis agreed and took her there. Getting there and seeing him she went on to slap her twice.
" You bastard, you will regret all you did to me psychopath." Elvis held her back but Osborne only laughed and smirked. He hand his hand cuffed but he still touched her face. She jerked him away.
" Don't be like this baby, you know I love you and I know you love me too. But for this I can never forgive you, I'll come out and I'll make sure I kill you and everyone. Get that into your thick skull!"
The inspector hit him soo hard and had them take him away. He assured Olivia not to worry anymore as he would make sure he gets punished.
    Olivia and Elvis got back home. She sat down quietly as they all looked on.
" I was such a fool. I gave up on all my dreams because of him. I thought he loved me but he was soo obsessed with me. I've missed a whole lot of things being with him. I broke tides with my parents, my friends especially my best friend who didn't give up on me. I'm soo enraged with myself right now. I don't deserve your help nor to be happy. I think it would have been better if he killed me instead"
" Don't say that Olly, that guy was such a jerk. In fact you deserve all the happiness in the world. You made a mistake and you've learnt from it. Now you back and that's what is important. Remember what I always say, I love you" She got teary and embraced her tightly. Jim coughed and whispered " I also love you" Everyone turned to him. He pretended not to have said anything. Olivia smiled at him.

Three months later, Olivia and Freda organised a get together and invited few friends. Olivia was soo happy as she had visited Vicky earlier and he was getting better. All the time she talked about him to Freda. Their invited friends all got there, Jim and Elvis too got there. They welcomed them, Freda and Elvis shared a kiss. Jim and Olivia's eyes met and they smiled. The place looked soo nice, Olivia had done all the decorations.
   The party began and there was soo much fun and games. They were 10 in all, Gena, Alex, Henry, Aaron, Sarah and Lois had joined. Now they had a truth or dare game. Gena asked Alex to kiss Lois when his girlfriend Sarah was present. It was an awkward moment but it passed. It went through and Olivia was asked if she found any of the guys attractive. She smiled first and spoke.
" Everyone is good looking but it's only Elvis who looks responsible. No offence guys" Jim was amazed.
" We all know no offence really means what you are saying. How do you look at me Olive?" She stared at him. " Just like I'm doing right now. They all laughed.
All the lights suddenly went off. Jim tried to stand up but Olivia held his hand. He sat back down, Elvis got up to check. Within some minutes the lights came back. Sarah screamed soo loud pointing to the floor. Elvis lied in a pool of blood. Everyone was shocked. Osborne came out from behind the pillar, he smirked.
" Did you miss me?" He was armed, he was holding a knife stained with blood and a gun. Jim hid Olivia behind him, everyone was scared. Freda cried looking at Elvis.
" Baby O... come here. Come to me my baby Olive." She shook. He saw Jim holding onto her.
" Oh I see, so you are the one holding my baby back." He pointed a gun at him but Olivia stepped in front of him. Osborne smiled. He asked her to come to him if he didn't want anything happening to her friends. Jim tried to stop her but she went on. She folded her hands and pleaded with him not to hurt them. He slapped her, she fell to the ground. He knelt beside her.
"You pushed me to the wall my baby Olive. But I still have some love left within me for you. Come with me and I would spare your friends. Let's start afresh, let's get married. Will you come with me?"
   She nodded still crying, Jim asked her not to give in. But she yelled at him to stay out of it. He seemed to be in a rush, he took Olivia away.
They attended to Elvis, he was badly hurt. They rushed him to the hospital. Freda and Jim were still worried for Olivia, the police inspectors arrived there. Jim asked why Osborne was out. The inspector apologised and asked them to have patience.Freda grew furious.
" Inspector what are you saying. That man was in your hands and he escaped. How possible because we thought we were safe with you. My boyfriend is hurt and my friend has been abducted by this psychopath and all you can tell us is to be patience. What if he hurts my friend too?"
" Inspector please act fast, Olive's life is in danger right now" he agreed. He then asked if any of them knew something about him or a place they knew he could take Olivia." They all shook but suggested Vicky might know something. He was in that same hospital so Freda lead them to him.
   They were lucky, he knew his family house and a house he had bought but he hadn't moved in yet. He plead with them to save Olivia. They gave him their word.
