I thought you loved me. I thought we were going to spend the rest of our lives together. I guess I couldn’t have been more wrong.

“How could you do this?” I plead with Robert to tell me.

“It would be better if you stop talking Alice. I am going to kill you in five minutes and there is nothing you can say to stop me.”

“Well if that is the case you can at least tell me why. Why are you doing this? I truly believed you loved me.”

“I don’t, never have. You were just a pretty girl I wanted to make my next victim.”

As I fight back the tears, I try to find some way out of this.

“I don’t believe you. I don’t believe that the moments we shared together were fake. I know you loved me at some point, I felt it. Do you remember when my dad died? I was devastated, I felt like I was completely alone but you convinced me otherwise. You promised me that you would always be there for me, you would love me and protect me, always. Are you really going to stand there and tell me none of that was real?”

That is when I see it. I see the love in his eyes that he still has for me and this time I don’t fight the tears.

Robert walks to the door and unlocks it before looking back to me.

“Go.”

“Wh...What”

“Your heard me,” he snaps at me.

“Why did you even do this?”

He looks at me with sad eyes and says, “I’m a psychopath, it’s what I do. Now go before I change my mind”

Once I am out the door I turn back to him and give him one final bittersweet kiss.

“Thank you Robert.”

“I’m sorry Alice,” he whispers.

I finally walk out of that room and out of Robert’s life and I will never look back.
