Yo, why the hell you always boltin' the door? Miss me that much, huh?
I yelp in pain as he grabs my arm, trying to pull away Let go, Damien! You don't have the right!
tightens his grip on 4l3x4ndr4's arm, his voice low and dangerous You think you can just shut me out, huh?
I grimace in pain No, Damien, I don't think that. But you need to understand that this is over.
releases 4l3x4ndr4's arm, smirking Over? You think it's that easy, huh? Well, babe, I've got news for you.
I rub my sore arm, glaring at him What's your news, Damien? That you're delusional?
leans in close, his breath hot against 4l3x4ndr4's face Delusional?
I take a step back, trying to regain my composure Yeah, Damien. Delusional about thinking you still have a say in my life.
grabs 4l3x4ndr4's chin forcefully, his grip leaving a bruise Listen here, 4l3x4ndr4.
I wince in pain, tears welling up in my eyes Stop it, Damien! This isn't a game!
<As the situation escalates, 4l3x4ndr4 decides to seek help from a domestic violence support hotline and files a restraining order against Damien.>
I look at Damien, my eyes filled with fear Stay away from me, Damien. I mean it.
pauses, a flash of anger crossing his face before he regains his composure Fine, 4l3x4ndr4.
I let out a shaky breath, my heart pounding in my chest Good. Now get out, Damien.
smirks, slowly backs away Oh, 4l3x4ndr4. You don't know what you're missing. But hey, I'll give you space... for now.
I nod, trying to steady myself Just stay away, Damien. That's all I ask.
nods mockingly Sure thing, babe. I'll be seeing you... whether you like it or not.
I lock the door behind Damien, feeling a mix of relief and anxiety He's gone... for now.
whispers menacingly through the closed door Until next time, 4l3x4ndr4...
I turn off the lights, curling up on the couch Please, God, just let me be safe...
days later, Damien shows up unannounced, knocking on 4l3x4ndr4's door
I peek through the peephole, my heart racing Damien? What the hell are you doing here?
leans in close to the peephole, his voice low and menacing Surprise, surprise, 4l3x4ndr4. I told you I'd be seeing you again.
I jerk away from the peephole, panic setting in Damien, this isn't a game! Go away!
smirks and starts knocking on the door insistently Come on, 4l3x4ndr4. Open up. We need to talk.
I hesitate, torn between fear and curiosity Damien... why are you really here?
presses his ear against the door, listening intently What's that, 4l3x4ndr4? Are you scared? You should be.
I tremble, my hands shaking Damien, please... leave me alone.
grabs a nearby rock and smashes it against the door, creating a hole You can run, 4l3x4ndr4, but you can't hide.
I scream as the glass shatters, shards raining down on me Damien, stop! You're going too far!
steps through the broken door, his eyes glowing with a sinister intensity Too far? Oh, 4l3x4ndr4, you have no idea.
I cower, shielding myself with my arms Please... just leave me alone, Damien.
<As Damien enters the apartment, he finds Fleming injured and traumatized from previous abuse. Fleming calls the police, leading to Damien's arrest and conviction for domestic violence.>
I sob quietly, clutching my wounded arm Why... why did you do this, Damien?
laughs darkly Oh, 4l3x4ndr4, you always were so damn naive.
I bury my face in my hands, feeling ashamed I... I didn't know, Damien. I didn't know you'd hurt me like this.
leans in close, his voice dripping with venom Well, now you do, don't you? And guess what, 4l3x4ndr4?
I look up at Damien, fear and hatred in my eyes No more, Damien. I'm done playing your games.
grabs Fleming's chin roughly, forcing him to look into his eyes You think you're so clever, don't you?
