Chapter Sixteen: The endgame.

~~~~~~Elliott 's point of view~~~~~~

We're officially #29 in attractive. Thank you!!

My head hurts. 

I was feeling extreme pain in my head. I didn't mean to do all this.  Hell, I didn't want to do all this.  The pain I saw in her eyes when she found out, was torture to me. I never wanted to make her feel this way. I didn't know she would react like this. 

But she has to understand I did what I did for her. Do you think I'd actually want to kill someone? But I did so for her. For her.

I decided to keep her in there for meantime. Well, at least  until she understands me. She fell asleep from all her crying yesterday.  So, I left her for the night.  Now I got,  a meal for her.  Advocado toast, butter and yoghurt. Her favorite. As I headed back to the store.

I was met with Emerald's bright face. " Hey,  Ellie!" she chirped. " is that for me? You never bring food to work."

Since when are girls so smart now?

" Um, I didn't have breakfast. So, I decided to bring a little something. " I answered, stammer free.

" Oh. " she nodded. "Okay.  There's a first time for everything, I guess. "

" Um would you mind watching the store?  I'll just be down in the basement, I have some reading to do.  " I informed her. 

"Man, you sure love books.  You spent the entire day in there yesterday. "

"You know me, always the book worm. So, please no distractions? "

"You got it, boss. " She said doing a mini salute.

I sent her a smile before going down to the basement.

~~~~Beck's point of view ~~~~

I sat criss-crossing my leg. I wired patiently for Elliott to arrive.  You see I have a plan.  I'm getting out of here, today.  No matter what. I have to outsmart him.

He wanted me to believe he did that for me.  So that's what I'm gonna do. Say I believe him. He'll for sure let me out after that.  I might even say we'll live happily ever after just to add icing on the cake. He'll never see it coming.

But if he doesn't let me out, I'll have to carry out plan B. He walked in.

"Hello! " I jumped. " Beck!?" I calmed my nerves when I saw him approach. Time to put the plan into action.

" I brought you breakfast. " I smiled at him. 

"Thank you. " 

" My pleasure, beautiful.  I see you're a lot better." He commented, as he put in my food in the little box. I stood up and went there to pick it up.

"I am. " I told him. " I thought about about what you said and I realized that I was wrong. "

He looked pleased.  it's working. " Really? " He asked an amused smile playing on his lips. 

"Yeah. You really did do all you did for me. I was so wrong to judge you like that.  And the names I called you,... " I shook my head. " I'm really sorry, Elliott. "

He beamed at me.  " No worries. The most important thing is that you've realized your mistakes. "

I opened up the  paper bag, and brought out the contents.  Advocado toast. Just as I expected.

" You favourite. " He said to me. I looked up at him, smiling as I snuck the butter knife into my hands. He was so distracted with my smile, he had no idea what I was up to. 

" I'm really so sorry for everything, Elliott. " I started again.  I have to get him in here.  I have to get him close to me. Somehow. " I still love you. A lot. "

Lie of the century.

But he believed me. Oh, he bought it alright.  " I never stopped loving you. " He said to me.

"This would be the time where we're supposed to hug.  And maybe share a little kiss. " I suggested. 

He smiled as he dug in his pocket and brought out the key.

Too easy. Too, too easy.

I beamed. I stood up, hiding the knife behind me. He came closer to me and pulled me into his arms. I wrapped my free hand around him, hugging him back. He pulled back, and looked into my eyes. " I'm glad you understand, beck. " He whispered to me.

I smirked. He was just about to claim my lips when, I whispered into his ear. " I understand way more than you do. "
I stabbed him. I pushed the knife into his tummy deeper and I felt blood ooze out.

"Asshole. " I spat as he fell to the ground.

He looked at me. His eyes showing sadness. "Beck? " He whispered gripping onto his tummy.

I ran out the door. And locked him instead. I removed the key and dropped it to the ground.

" Good bye,  Elliott. " I waved as I ran out.

........

Okay, yes.  Dangerous obsession convinced me.  I expanded it.  Do you hear dangerous obsession? I did as you said!

Dangerous obsession : Thank you, Muna! I really appreciate it.
Me: Enjoy it. I'll finish by tomorrow definitely. I promise.
Dangerous obsession : could you expand me more?
Me: okay, that's  just too much.
Dangerous obsession: can't you do this for me?
Me: 😑😑
Bye everyone!
