ALEX

"Alex... I...can't ..mmmffffff"

I tighten my grip.

I'm so fucking angry, I can feel the blood boiling in my veins like acid. My pulse is pounding in my ears, drowning out everything and painting everything red.

Her nails dig into my wrist, but it's useless. I don't loosen my grip.

She kicks harder now, making strangled sounds like a dying animal. Her eyes are wild, mascara running down her face as the panic sets in.

I lean in close, my lips by her ear.

"Did you think you were going to walk away clean? Surely you can't be that delusional or are you?"

She shakes her head, or tries to.

Her hands slap weakly at my chest.

"If I have to ask you one more fucking time to confess what you did, I'll shred you to pieces."

I drop her.

She crumples like a ragdoll, coughing and gasping, her hand flying to her neck. She looks up at me through smeared makeup and horror-stricken eyes. "You..." she wheezes, her voice broken. "You could've loved me..."

"You should've chosen me!" she screams suddenly, pounding a fist against the tiles her sweat covered hair sticking to her face like a mad woman.

"I did all of this for you! If you'd just looked at me, just once! I love you, Alex!"

I crouch down in front of her, and the look in my eyes shuts her up instantly.

"You don't know what love is," I say quietly, my voice as sharp as a blade against her throat. "Fuck, neither do I but we both know what you did, Is sick and you'll pay for it."

Tears roll down her cheeks.
