ALWAYS AND FOREVER

“I don’t fucking care, what happened with you and Louis or what happened this year but all I know is that you are the reason I suffered for ten whole years, the reason my mom died because I couldn’t pay for her surgery, if I had married Cross I would have been able to pay and mom wouldn’t have died and the most painful, you are the reason I lost my child, I am going to make you pay for taking away a chance to live a glamorous life and killing my love ones,”

She accused.

“I didn’t do it, why can’t you just listen? I didn’t do anything, I didn’t kill anyone,”

I yelled at her.

“Shut up bitch,”

She shouted opening the can she had with her, she walked up to me and held my neck trying to force my mouth open, I realized, she was trying to make me drink whatever it was that was in the can, and tried to resist her but she had more power and I was tied, the substance which turned out to be juice entered my throat, I tried not to swallow fearing that it might be poison but she forced me to swallow.

“If I were you I would stop fighting and just accept my fate,”

She said after making sure I swallowed it and closed the can.

“What did you just give me to drink,”

“Something,”

That was all she said and she left, I tried to get myself to throw up but it didn’t walk, I cried, prayed to beg the Lord to send help…

“Pearl? You are awake? Pearl? Can you hear me?”

I asked as she rolled, she opened her eyes and shut them before opening them again and holding her head, I sensed she might have a headache from sleeping for so long, she looked around as if trying to grab her environment, and her eyes widen when they landed on me.

“Katherine? What happened? What are you doing here? What am I doing here? How did we get here?”

She asked in a rather weak tone, she looked so different from the woman I knew before, she tried to get up but fell back on the bed holding her head, I felt she was trying to remember what happened, I waited and watched.

“Dylan, it’s him, I met him and we had a confrontation, I left but he followed me and covered my face with something, that’s all I can remember, I didn’t know you were here too,”

“Yes, Pearl and also Louis is not working alone,”

“I know, there is a woman, maybe another one of his victims who is stupid enough to let him talk her into doing this with him, I can’t even hate her because I was in her show before,”

She said, her voice still weak.

“She is not a victim Pearl, she is like the boss here, and she is not a stranger,”

“What? She is someone you know?”

“Yes, my husband’s ex,”

“Oh, so what are we going to do, and why are you tied while I am not?”

I was about to answer when the door opened, Louis came in carrying takeout, he laughed at the sight of Pearl.

“Oh, Pearlie, you are finally awake my dear, dear friend,”

He let out.

“What the fuck are you doing Dylan, you have lost your mind, I told you to stop but you are rather going even deep, kidnapping is not a petty crime Dylan, you will land in jail,”

She yelled at him.

“Calm your tits now Pearlie, our girly over there doesn’t know me as Dylan, it Louis and more so I have to be caught to land in prison and I won’t be caught so it’s all good, it’s a one-time thing that would never have happened if you had not betrayed him,”

Louise yelled back at her, I could only watch, I didn’t even know what to say nor did I have the strength to say a word, I was awake throughout the night thinking of how I would leave this place, all I needed was for Pearl to wake up and thankfully she was awake, I thought of Cross too, I knew he would already know that I was missing and would be beating himself up for not going to the hospital with him, I wanted to see him, I missed him so much, I cried last night until there weren’t any tears left, I still didn’t know what Ginna had in stock for me, she hadn’t shown up yesterday again, only Louis came around and left, until this morning.

“Dylan, you are going too far, you need to stop now, this is not the right way,”

Pearl said trying to get through to Louis, but I knew it was hopeless talking to him, he wasn’t going to change, I have spent most of the time here trying to get through to him.

“Shut the fuck up, you don’t even know what I would do to you Pearl, that lady there might make it out of here alive but I am not sure you will do the same, just don’t provoke me or I might just kill you here and now,”

He yelled at Pearl who took the hint and shut up.

“I wonder when the bitch will give the go-ahead to make the fucking call, I need to get out of here,”

He said out loud, I knew he wasn’t talking to either of us but to himself, so they planned on getting money from Cross, so it was all about money, I should have known.

“All these for money Dylan? Haven’t you done enough? Just let her go, she doesn’t deserve this or anything you ever did to her,”

“I said shut the fuck up,”

Louis yelled coming to where Pearl was and landing a sound slap on her face, I felt the pain from where I sat.

“One more word from you, just one more word,”

He warned, Ginna walked in a moment later, and she brought with her the juice she had forced me to drink yesterday, the sight of it made me gag, please don’t let her give me that stuff again.

“Dylan, stop shouting, you want to attract attention there?”

She scolded.

“Then let me make the call already, it’s been three days, when are we going to make the call?” He yelled ignoring her earlier warning, so I have been here for three whole days? I thought it was two.

“Fine, moron, make the call, I will just increase her dosage,”

She said pointing to me, Pearl and I exchanged looks, she looked as scared as I was, what the heck was she giving me to drink? Was she drugging me? What did she hope to achieve with it, I didn’t feel any discomfort yesterday aside from my baby moving, I just hope whatever it was wont harm, my child.

“I am calling your beloved husband, he must be worried sick,”

Louis announced.

“Shut up and just make the call,”

Ginna responded.

Hello, hello, I know you have been expecting my call, you know who I am don’t you?”

Louis said, I couldn’t hear Cross’s voice, I wanted to scream his name but that would only make him more worried so I kept quiet, hoping they can trace this call and find us in time…
