Changed Blood

Chapter 18

At around 9 o clock, hunter had some kind of board game on the table and some wine.
"Ready?" He folded his hands and took a sip.
"I guess?" Monopoly. What was he doing?
"What piece you wanna be?"
"It doesn't matter to me."
"Just. Pick. One."
"Ok, the boot. I'll be the boot."
He tossed the piece over and I collected my money.
"Ladies first." I sighed and rolled the dice. Getting myself to a property.
"You want to buy it?"
"No." he looked frustrated, and took his turn.
"Ok, I'm gonna buy this." He showed me the money and I nodded. He got himself the blue card and gave me the dice.
"Why are we doing this?"
"Because, you just want to sit here? Do nothing?"
"I would rather. I just want nick to-"
He pushed the board off the table and everything went flying. Money was all over the ground, and the metal pieces were just waiting to get stepped on. I flinched and lay myself closer to the couch.
"If you couldn't tell, I'm luring nick here. You're a worthless BITCH. You never meant a damn thing to me. He is on his way, I can feel it. You're going to watch your love die in front of you sweetie." He went towards the kitchen grabbing a knife.
"Listen, I will not use this. Unless I have to. And, most likely, I'll only use it once." He threatened. I nodded my head swallowing hard. He came back over and grabbed a handful of my hair. I hated that. He led me towards a broom closet in the hallway. He threw me inside and shut the door. Locking it.
"Hunter I didn't mean to piss you off. Please dont-" I realized he wasn't listening and just shut up. I wasn't to afraid of him, until now. Now I was nervous. Now was the time to panic. I seen the knife on the coffee table where the monopoly game sat a few ministers prior. He was on his knees collecting the pieces and putting everything back in the box. Mumbling to himself. I was pretty squished in here. I could just barely see through the crack in the door, and if I was spending the night in here, I couldn't even lay down. I situated somethings and made myself comfortable on the bag of a vacuum cleaner. Trying my best to imagine myself with nick. It's been so long. We both made such big mistakes. This was like a stupid story, a jinx almost. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I heard hunter open a cupboard and throw the box inside. Walking past the closet and into the bedroom. He walked or a few minutes later, seeing him in only sweatpants. He went to the kitchen, I could hear his bare feet on the tile floor. Making popcorn and heading back for the late night movie filled tv. He sat munching while I sat smushed.
