Coming Back for You

Desperate

Julia

"PETER!" I continued to scream out while pounding against the door. Tears fell down my cheeks as my fists continued to punch.

No response....

"Peter, Peter please. Let me out!" I screamed once more. I peeked my eye out of the key hole. No Peter, no anyone. Just the walls continuing to guard the room like soldiers.

Barbie was a soldier... I would trade him over Peter any day. Even if I was forbidden to see him, I know he would be there. Watching me like a hawk with his mischevious yet dreamy eyes. Damn you Barbie. Why can't I stop thinking about you?! I mean every two seconds I'm thinking about you again. God I want him and badly. That's it... I have to get out of here. For Barbie.

I crawled over to the bedside table, picked up a lamp and threw it at the door. Nothing happened.Great. I scanned the room hoping that I would recognize something. The room was torn apart in less than ten minutes. Mattress on the floor an everything.

Still nothing I recognized.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well most of the room was put back together at least. I placed the last pillow back on the bed and plopped down on it, making the whole thing shake. A piece of paper flew out of one of the pillows landing on the carpet. "What the hell?" I asked myself while bending over to pick it up.

It was a picture of Peter and I from our wedding night. From what it looked like, the picture was taken in this room. Accept the walls were a bright blue. Not faded brown like they are now. And there where Christmas lights hanging from the now cut up and bloody ceili- wait a minute, the freaking ceiling has blood on it! What the hell happened here?! Whatever it was this just made it alot worse.

Anyway back to the picture... Peter had a soft smile on his face and I looked into his eyes like there was no one else there but him. The way I do with Barbie now, but I actually mean it.

I never really loved Peter. I never actually knew what love meant. I thought I did, but then Barbie happened. And now I'm back to where I started.

It all came back to me in that one little picture. I was in the guest room of Peter's late step mother's house. So I was still in Zenith. Actually I was only a few miles away from Don Barbara's house.

I slid the picture under one of the blankets as I heard the familiar sound of footsteps in the hallway. He stopped at the doorway before opening it.

"Oh so you wanna play this game. I see," he remarked as he stepped over the broken lamp. I stood there once again, frozen, in front of him. "I came to bring you this," he said, carrying a tray of toast and coffee." But now I don't know if I should give it to you." he continued looking down at the broken glass again.

He was going all "Big Jim Crazy" on me. Threatening to kill Barbie.

"You wouldn't be able to kill Barbie if you tried."

"Watch me." Peter struck back at me with a sickening grin. He slammed the door and with that I needed to find a way to warn Barbie. He could fen for himself, but I know that in his condition he does not need to do anymore fighting.

I started scrambling around again for anything that could help me escape this hell. A spoon and a safety pin weren't going to help much though...

Barbie

"Sam please, I can't find her on my own. I know we haven't been the best of friends lately, but you are really the only one I trust to help me with this."

I fought the tears threatening to stream down my face while I waited for an answer. He looked up at me with a sympathizing face. I knew how much he cared about Julia. The look on his face when I exained what happened gave it away.

"Barbie I know how much you care about Julia. And I know how much she cares about you. Of course I'll help you," he answered back with a slight smile. I smiled back, nodding at him. "So whats the plan?"

I shook my head. "We need to find out where she is first. That son of a bitch probably has her locked up somewhere. I know some of Peter's friends. Maybe we could start there to see if they know anything," I hesitantly answered. He nodded in approval and we hopped into his car.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I knocked on the door of Ethan Swerment's house. I collected money from him a while ago. Luckily he actually played up so he doesn't have a bad history with me.

"Be there in a minute," a voice from inside shouted. I peered through the window just to make sure I picked the right house. Yeah it was him.

He opened the door slowly and stared at me. "Um can I help you two?" he asked clearly not remembering who I was. Maybe for the better that he didn't recognize me. I was all over the news from being stuck under the dome.

"Hi, um you may not remember me, but I collected some money from you some time ago. My name's Barbie and this is," I glanced over at Sam who looked right back at me and nodded with a come on you can trust me I am your friend look on his face. I rolled my eyes continuing, "my friend Sam."

Considering Sam's life under the dome, I wasn't sure if he really was a friend yet. I didn't need friends when I had Julia. She was my best friend and I need to get her back. I would give anything to see her shiny red hair and kiss her soft lips again.

Ethan quickly remembered me and invited us inside. He knew Peter very well and had met Julia many times. After I gave him the big jist of what happened, he seemed like he knew something.

"Peter called me last night and told me that him and Julia were at his sister's house, a few towns over. That's all he said," he explained. God just the thought of knowing where she was made me tremble with excitement. I was ready to kick Peter's ass. He gave us the address and we scurried off to find her.

Sam seemed suspicious on the ride. He didn't say anything the whole time, but kept rolling his eyes. I wasn't so sure if I could really trust him with this.

As we neared the house I loaded my gun and checked for my pocket knife.

"Are you gonna kill him?" Sam asked looking afraid.

"I don't know."

Should I kill him? I've done it once, I can do it again.
