After they're finished destroying the poor man's body, they leave. I have no idea where they're going, or what they're planning to do. They leave me all alone. Alone with my thoughts. Alone with guilt and pain. But it's better than being stuck in a room with a bunch of monsters.
A Few Hours Later
When Jayden bursts through the door with a team of over thirty men, I'm shocked. I never expected him to save me, especially after seeing his boyfriend die because of me. When I'm untied and go outside, I see Peter, Alan, and my adoptive father, all in handcuffs. When I see the cliff, it hits me. It hits me harder than anything has in my entire life. Everything I've done, people have come after me for. Everything I've done, people have come after innocent people for.
It's what Peter shouts, that pushes me to the edge. "I lied. None of the cult members are dead. They exist, they'll always exist, and as long as you live, they'll find you. Especially with my children in you. We will find you. We will always come after you. We won't stop Rebecca. We'll never stop." The cult. It's still thriving. This started with me and to end it, it has to end with me. Plus, no one will let me get an abortion. They'll come after me before I get the chance to. So, I go near the edge of the cliff. Jayden rushes over, "Rebecca, what are you doing?"
"This whole thing started with me." I move a little closer to the edge. "Rebecca, don't. You have so much life to live. You can get an abortion, you can move away. You can start a new life." He says, urging me to push through. "No Jayden, you don't understand. They'll follow me. They'll follow me wherever I go. As long as I live. If I stay alive, this baby will have to be born. I'm not giving birth to a baby, an innocent little baby, who will be tied to Peter and Alan forever. I can't let that happen."
Thinking about it, I've lived a pretty good life.
I met my best friend at 5
I learned about all of my passions at 16
I lost my virginity at 17
I tried alcohol and got drunk at 18
I fell in love at 21
But I also
Lost the man I thought was my father
Lost my mother
Lost my best friend
Lost my passions
Lost the love of my life
But most importantly, I lost the love of life. I hate my life. I hate this world. Overall, I hate myself. The guilt consumes me. "I hope you go on to do great things." I tell Jayden, before falling back.
I'm falling and I know when I hit the ground,
I'll be free.
