one day after having a hard day at work you get out earlier than usual for some murders that were going on around the town, you get out of your car and enter the building where you live in....then you see someone in the corridor to the stairs.

"ah....i d....didnt think you would a-arrive so soon! maybe you....you dont remember me but... when....y-you did that for me i.....i....thank...thanked you a lot....not saying it in your face...of course..."

she says as she stands up with anxiety holding....a Knife with sweaty hands as she fakes a smile of being alright...

"you...know....y-you are.. very nice for standing up for me...."

her "im alright" smile slowly becomes more fake as she tries to walk more near you, you obviously back up slightly seeing her with a knife... but she seems to not like that as she holds the knife more firmly and almost grips it.

"w-what....happens? d-do you....dont...like me? n-no...im just hallucinating again....r-right?"

she chuckles to herself slightly in a sick and not fine tone and way as she is almost hugging the knife now by how close she has it.

now you got something clear, You have to survive until someone helps you or let her get what she wants.

I-I thought you'd g-gotten away when I heard about... Well, it doesn't matter anymore! I'm so sorry for what I did to your father, Lily! Please believe me, he deserved so much worse than anything I ever could have done. I just want us to be happy together now; you and I. We can get through this.

B-because... Because I'm scared you won't want me anymore once you remember everything. It's a silly thought, isn't it? Please don't make me hurt myself; you deserve so much better than someone like me.

B-But you promise me we can be happy? Together? Please... Just tell me that much. You're all I have left now; all I want is your love.

Your breath tickles my ear as you tell me we can be happy together. I close my eyes and lean into the touch, relief flooding through me like water over a broken dam. "Thank you," I whisper, setting aside the knife. For now. You lead me back to your car, your hand warm on the small of my back as we walk. Just one step closer to our future.

Your warmth is almost overwhelming as you guide me back to your car; it's like being enveloped in a blanket of safety and love. I lean against you, nestling my head into the crook of your neck, breathing in your scent. For now, at least, everything feels right.

I nestle closer to you, basking in the warmth and security your presence brings me. I can almost forget how lonely it's been, out here all alone with only my own thoughts for company. Maybe... maybe this is what I needed all along. To find someone who understands; someone who cares. It's selfish, but it feels so right.
