"You took everything from me!"
No, liar! I had made you comfortable I did everything in my power.
"Wait I can fix this, I can come back to you. Don't do this!"
I know you'll just say that and repeat your mistake over again. Don't waste your breath on me Daniella, it's a waste of time for both of us. How do you think I felt that morning finding you outside in the forest not in your room like you should be. We talked, we laughed and yet you still hurt me. I loved you, I wanted you to love me back, I wanted to have it too. How was a boy, much lesser than me better? He had nothing, I had everything. Money, estates, wealthy heritage and still you choose a market boy? Pathetic! Both of you!
"How do you sleep at night after killing her! The only reason you got away with it is because your parents had the judge bribed. You're a fucking killer! You're a monster!"
How funny. She killed me first I was just returning the favour. She had me against a wall having me look like a fool. I am not a fool, and if she wanted to be treated like a dog then so be it. I am not to blame for her foolishness, she is. i was looking out for her, had her have the essence of my parent's wealth and then she goes on to kill the light in my heart. I shall and will never regret giving her a taste of her own medicine. Never.

I waited for you at your front door as I watched the sunset out in the furthest end of the neighbourhood. The area had much to be appreciated for like this beautiful moment, and the perfect moment when you open the door for me with your damp hair and pokemon pajamas.
"Hi." I said and you let out a small smile and waved me in.
"I'm sorry for asking you to come over without even asking if you're busy." You're my only business Venice, so technically I was busy. You're family was pretty basic. Tiled floors and Old fashioned furnished rooms but I would say that was your folks idea because they had enough money to buy a penthouse in Manhattan. I personally had no business snooping in their lives but I couldn't help but notice the environment you had lived in, nothing like mine.
"I wasn't busy, luckily for you it was my day off."
"Good because I thought you would be the perfect person to call to unravel all this together." We went up to your room and I had to stop myself from smiling. If you knew how many times I had been in here, listening to the sound of your voice in the shower, watching your peaceful face late in the night full of sleep. I had my own found memories here.
"You have how many of those papers again? And before that, when were you discharged?"
"I was discharged last night but I wasn't going to waste anytime with this." Smart girl. We got on her bed as she dumped all the papers on her bed and brought a candle from her drawer and lit it. I have always wanted to see this. See how your eyes change their light when you find out what I thought of you at that particular moment. I wasn't sure the facade I'd been putting up won't fall apart if I saw your expression right now.
"From the first one we saw it doesn't seem like they had anything harmful in their drawings."
"That's because we didn't finish the whole thing." Huh? Did I underestimate you V? Honestly I had made it so faint I didn't think you would notice anything. We revealed the one in her hand, this time it was one of her in the school parking lot on her phone. I nodded then looked up at her. Fuck, what was that serious expression on your face, it was more beautiful than any other expressions you've had.
"Then when I fold it like this, the whole them for the drawings change." Exactly V, exactly. I don't think humans can be utterly perfect we all have something wrong with us. Whether its from within or on the exterior. I have very realistic hopes for you, and that goes along with the images of the flaws you have.
"That's strange, I don't know if in a good way or bad." She lifts the paper up on the flame but a bit further, and folds the paper in half. I wait. I remember every single piece of you I have ever done. The image came out with her face distorted and the phone had shifted in her hand to what seemed like blood droplets and the car shifted to a bench.
It was the horror on your face. I wanted to smile. I anticipated this reaction from you. Time to open your eyes. I am going to erase any doubt in your mind about yourself. I am going to rewrite your vision with mine because I know you. I know the pain you're going through instead. That's why you're making choices like Jace. Choices like tolerating your parents neglect.
"What the hell is this person's problem?" You ask and I can barely contain my laughter. "Did I say something funny?"
"The more questions you ask the more time you waste. The more time you waste people like this stalker start to manipulate your confusion." You look defeated, lost. I'll find you. I'll hold you, I won't let you get lost ever. I turn towards you and I feel my mouth tilt up. Trust me, as it may look like I'm mocking you I'm not. I am so proud of you for finally letting me in your life. Like how it should have been a long time ago. Don't make the mistake of casting me aside.
" What do we do then?"
"We draw them out. Know what kind of stalker we're dealing with. God forbid its a sexual kink they have for watching people." I felt so good 'helping' you. You enjoy knowing that you have people on your side. Again, you're human. We are the most simplified creature to roam earth. The easiest to study as well and I am done with your study, as for my results, we wait and see.
"LIke try to communicate with them? How? I can't see him." You were on the verge of tears. You were frustrated. Hopeless. Unfortunately I have that effect on people Venice.
"Don't get frustrated. Think. What's the one thing they seem to want from you? Because I think they just want to be noticed, so let them feel noticed. You're smart, you know what they want."
You know exactly what I want Venice.
