I was horrified.
He kept smiling.
My heart was aching.
"Why?" I said with a tear sliding down my cheek.
"Because I love you." he said.
"I trusted you, Jayce." I mumbled.
"AND I LOVED YOU! BUT YOU COULD NEVER SEE THAT! WHY!?! BECAUSE OF THAT STUPID BASTARD JACKSON!" he yelled on top of his lungs.
I had never seen him like this. It was as if, he wasn't the Jayce that I knew.
"You betrayed me." I mumbled after I shook my head.
"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDING ME!?!? YOU BETRAYED ME!" he yelled grabbing my shoulder tightly.
"What are you talking about?..." I ask confused and crying.
"What am I talking about?!?! WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT! YOU FUCKING CHOOSE TO LIKE THE GUY YOUR BEST FRIEND FOUGHT AND TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM! YOU COULDN'T EVEN DO THAT OUT OF RESPECT."
"I... I... It wasn't m-" I start when;
"NO SHUT UP!" he yelled forcefully grabbing my jaw. "I TALK TODAY!"
Frightened, all I was able to do was look at his face. He was the guy that I once thought was the kindest.
"I REMAINED YOUR BEST FRIEND FOR YEARS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED AND WHAT DID YOU GIVE ME IN RETURN HUH? NOTHING! NOT EVEN THE ONE THING I ASKED FOR. I LOVED YOU EVER SINCE I MET YOU AND YOU NEVER APPRECIATED ME."
I closed my eyes horrified.
He lets go of my face and gets up. He turns around breathing in and out.
"Why didn't you just tell me. Why did you do all of this." I ask with a shaky voice.
He turns around to face me again. He was still very angry.
He grabs my jaw again. "I did tell you. But you were to busy liking HIM! ... Multiples times I said I love you and you... You said me too and... FUCKING WALKED AWAY LIKE IT MEANT NOTHING!"
I was traumatized. I did remember some of those times. But I thought... we were friends.
"This was the only way left. This way, I could control everything. It didn't matter what you did this way, because I had all the power... You are mine. And this way you'll stay mine. Forever."
He started laughing. He looked like he was insane. A psychopath. A murderer.
He suddenly stops.
"You wanna know what the worse part was..." he says
I don't answer.
"ANSWER ME!" he yells
I couldn't open my mouth. I shook my head, tears landing on my lap.
"That night you found that picture, I thought it was all over. I had to do something, I had to make you believe that it wasn't me. So I did what I had to, made you believe that your best friend could never text you threatening himself. And you fell for it. Thank god." he stops.
"Oh my god... You're insane. You -"
"Oh wait Al... There's more!" he says smiling like a maniac.
"That same night, you came back and we finally kissed! Oh boy... Then I thought maybe I didn't have to do this anymore. That maybe you would finally feel the same way about me. That I could stop and you would be mine anyway. But guess what. You fucking feared your stalker so much and that you actually listened. And then you left. Do you know how fucking frustrating it. To let you go when I finally had you! For a second, I was gonna come clean, tell you everything, but I knew you would let me go if I did. So I decided, if I was gonna play a game, I was gonna be a fucking mastermind at it... That's when the real fun started. That's when I started fucking with your brain." he stops again, this time chuckling.
"I made you believe that your stalker, me, was gonna kill Jayce. Made myself disappear the next morning... Oh and I've gotta say, seeing you worried about me was LOVELY! Finally some appreciation. You would whisper my name and shit,.. it was beautiful. Taping your phone was the greatest idea I ever had. I could hear your every single hour... And then... I punished you... That. Was. Amazing. I had you. What we did, how I felt after... You have no idea for how long I wanted that. Your body, your eyes, your lips, your smell. Ugh... That's when I was even more sure of my goal. I was ALL in!" his eyes were dark. He had no soul in him. He was the devil himself. His laugh scared me to my core.
And then he stopped laughing. His smile became a sharp stare.
"And then Clark came in the picture... I knew he had a thing for you. I wanted to kill that pedophile on the first day. But then I thought, I'd use him against him. It was so hard to see you with him. It was so hard to not just blow his head off. Every single time you were with him, I wanted to slit his throat. I had to be patient. And I was. I carefully planned it all. I knew your curiosity and suspicion would come around any time. So, I framed him. And I'm SO FUCKING PROUD OF IT! That scum is now in jail! For stalking, murder, kidnapping, pedophilia. It doesn't matter though, he deserves it. I thought I could finally slowly proceed without any disturbance. Until Jackson started talking to you. I hated him even more then Clark. Ever since we were kids, he knew I liked you and he knew you liked him. He would play with your feelings. I fought him for you. I warned you. But you didn't listen. YOU NEVER DID... He tried to take advantage of my disappearance. Talking to you more and more. That worthless piece of shit... So again, I did what I had to... I finally took you before he could. Forever."
I was frozen. He stared into my eyes. No expression. No remorse. Nothing.
"You are mine." he says.
Silence.
"You aren't Jayce..." I say barely audible.
He laughs. Very loudly. It echoed in the room. It sounded similar to a serial killer's laugh.
"I am. You never really recognized me Al." he says.
More tears slip out of my eyes.
His hand then reaches my ear and he pushes my hair behind my shoulder. He then stroked my arm going all the way down to my lap.
"I hate you." I say.
"And I love you. So it doesn't matter." he says looking into my eyes.
"It does fucking matter. You have me but I'll never love you. I'll always fight you with my last breathe. And there's nothing you can do about that!" I yell.
He smiles, looks down and start laughing again.
He looks up after his chuckles and says "You sure?".
He gets up. Walk to the other side of the room.
The next thing I saw was a TV screen turn on in the dark. He comes back next to me and hands me a remote.
"Press play" he says with a smile.
My heart was racing. As if this couldn't get worse.
I press play. And a video starts and then ...
"NOOOOO!" I yell
....
