6 - Too late
Colby
I pushed the front door open and was instantly met with a body, I rushed to the floor to see it was Dolph's mother. I pulled my phone out and dialled 911 again.
Ring ring
"911 what's your emergency."
"Excuse me, it's Colby Lopez. I spoke to a responder earlier."
"Let me just put you on hold."
Some surprising unnerving music started to play, normally I would find it soothing and maybe on the rare occasion I would fall asleep listening to it but today I just want it to end.
"Hello, Susie speaking. We spoke earlier on the phone..."
"Yes, I've just arrived at Dolphs house, I've found his mother unconscious on the floor. What do I do?"
"Leave the house and wait for our team to arrive, Sir I promise they will be with you shortly. This is a very serious case and we don't want any more people getting hurt."
"I just want to help~"
"I know you do, but it'll be safer for everyone if you just leave now. The team are 2 minutes away."
"Okay, Thank you."
"Keep me on the line until they arrive."
"Of course."
I soon enough heard sirens blaring, I watched as all the nosy neighbours made there way into the front garden to see what all the commotion is about. I quickly ushered the team of paramedic's into the house and to Dolphs mother.
"Are you Colby Lopez?"
"Yep."
I popped the p and the end, it was unintentional but oh well.
"We are going to find Dolph."
"Okay, I'll just stay here then."
Becky
I can hear noise, people's voices and heavy footed steps all above me. I want to call out but I can't...The skin around my handcuffs is raw and bloody, my ankles are a deep shade of purple from the bruising caused by the rope. I've got a busted lip and I know for a fact I've got thousands of cuts and bruises scattering my body, I feel physically sick that Dolph keeps doing this to me.
Colby
I know they told me to stay here but I can't, I need to find Becky, I need to save her from Dolph. I wait a moment until the police officers go upstairs and I slip down the corridor towards the basement door. The floor board creeks underneath me and I stop, taking a deep breath I slowly push the door open. I see a puddle of blood just peaking out of the shadows and I can feel myself freeze up.
"...please..."
I hear her Irish voice from down the stairs, I don't even think I just run down the stairs I missed the bottom two steps and almost hurt myself but it's all worth it if I can save Becky. I flicked the switch on and saw Becky bloody and lifeless, her naked body is covered in cuts and bruises but those aren't just normal bruises they are huge ones that could only be caused by some real damage.
"Becky, what has he done to you~"
I get no response, I quickly took off my T-shirt and carefully slid it onto her body. She moved her hand to stop me and I don't know how I felt, maybe relieved that she was still alive?
"Please don't touch my body."
Her voice quivered as she spoke.
"Becky's it's just me, it's okay now. The police are here it's over, it's all over."
"It's not, it'll never be over..."
This is my fault, I know people say don't blame yourself but this truly is my fault. I never should've taken Becky back here, I'm too late. I could've saved Becky but I'm too late...I move my hand towards her and she flinched, I know I shouldn't but I do feel a little hurt. I would never in a million years hit Becky and I don't even know if she knows that anymore.
Becky
I need to get away from this all, I can't be here, I can't breathe. I want to get away but I can't move. I feel sick, I feel repulsed, I am disgusting, I am fat and I am most certainly not worthy of any care. Everything that happened to me I deserved and that's the worst part, I wish I could close my eyes and feel something other than pain. I try to lift myself up to move away but I can't, I'm weak, I guess I've always been weak otherwise I probably wouldn't be in this situation. I feel a firm hand on my arm and pain rushes through my body, I want this to stop. Please I beg for this to stop...
"Becky I'm here now, I'm never going to let you go again."
"Please Stop Colby things are not going to be normal. I'm not normal, I'm disgusting so please please please stay away from me I'm only going to cause you more problems than I'm worth."
I look up at Colby and see him tearing up, I just want everything to stop even for a minute.
Colby
I've never felt more speechless, Becky is not disgusting. She is the most incredible person in this whole world, she's beautiful and has me brought three amazing children to this world.
"Becky look at me, you are incredible, you are always the most beautiful person in the room, we have beautiful children together and look at me I couldn't do that myself. I would do anything to see your bright smile again, to watch your eyes go wide and your mouth fall open whenever you get excited. Becky you are my soulmate, we both know that and I love you..."
I feel my tears start to overspill and I watch as Becky moves even further away from me. I move my hand to cup her face but I stop when I hear a familiar voice...
"You love her?"
I turned and saw April in the doorway, the minute we made eye contact she ran out of the room crying. I got up off the floor and looked between the doorway and Becky, I took one last look back at Becky before running out of the door after April...
