OBSESSION
Draft
The sound box in the hallway echoed this name in the entire college campus.
Alyssa Parker
*Stops in between talking to her friend and looks up in the direction of the speaker from where the voice was coming**
"IF YOU'RE HEARING ME, THEN I HAVE TO CONFESS SOMETHING TO YOU BEFORE THE ENTIRE COLLEGE."
Roxanne
Oh my gosh Al, this is so romantic!
Alyssa Parker
*heart fluttering**
"EVER SINCE I SAW YOU, EVER SINCE I GOT TO KNOW YOU, I'VE BEEN IN LOVE WITH YOU AND I'M NOT ASHAMED OF ADMITTING THIS IN THE OPEN THAT..."
"I LOVE YOU ALYSSA COOPER. I LOVE YOU SO DAMN MUCH."
Roxanne
Aww. He's so cute. Is that Kaleb Malcalester on the microphone?
Alyssa Parker
I guess? *flustering**
"SO, WHAT SAY AL? WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND? IF IT'S A YES, WHICH I'M HOPING IT IS... MEET ME AT THE LIBRARY IN TEN MINUTES. I'VE GOT A SURPRISE FOR YOU."
Roxanne
What are you waiting for Al? Isn't this exactly what you want? Go, get him already!
Alyssa Parker
*blushes before hugging Rebecca and rushes down the library to find Kaleb down on his knees holding a bouquet of flowers waiting for her**
Alyssa Parker
*says nothing and jumps in his arms** I love you too Kaleb. I'm glad you said it yourself. I would have never had the guts to tell you my feelings.
Matthew Malcalester
*Kisses Alyssa on her forehead**
I love you Al.

Matthew Malcalester
So, this is my room which is going to be ours after we get married.
Alyssa Parker
*blushes and looks around** It's beautiful.
Matthew Malcalester
*hugs her from behind and removes her hair off her shoulder to kiss her. Starts to unzip her dress from behind**
Alyssa Parker
Wait! *stops his hand in the midway** I...I don't want to do this just yet. Can we wait until I turn 18, please?
Matthew Malcalester
*smiles warmly at her** okay.
Griffin Finley
*scoffs and thinks** (Alyssa is so stupid to love Matt. Like seriously, she cannot see through his lies at all, can she?)
Matthew Malcalester
*kisses Alyssa saying goodbye** Take care, Al.
Alyssa Parker
You too. *says to Matt and looks at Finn uncomfortably** Bye...uhh...
Matthew Malcalester
Finn. His name is Finn.
ONE
Alyssa was coming out of the graveyard extremely sad just then, her cellphone buzzed.
Rose
Alyssa *panicked voice**
Alyssa Parker
Rose? *wiping her tears** What happened? Are you okay?
Rose
I... You asked me to take care of Angie while you go for a visit to Ryan...
Rose
*sobbing** I am so sorry Al. I swear she was in her cradle playing with her toys. I left her five mere minutes alone and...*crying miserably**
Alyssa Parker
*shocked and scared** Rose? WHAT HAPPENED TO ANGEL?
Rose
S-she isn't anywhere at home. I tried looking for her everywhere. It's been about an hour. I-I can't find her. I'm really scared.
Alyssa Parker
D-dont panic Rose. Angel must be at home. I'm coming home right now. *quickly says and disconnects running towards the road to call up a cab for herself.**
As soon as the cab stopped before her, a hand wrapped around Alyssa's mouth suddenly.
Alyssa Parker
Mhh *Struggling against the palm on her mouth, breathing in the chloroform**
Man
*leaning into the crook of her head, whispered in her ear** You want to see Angel right?
Alyssa Parker
Mmh *Stops struggling at the mention of her daughter's name and tries to take a look at the face of the masked man**
Man
*chuckles in her ears** Let me take you to her then.
Alyssa Parker
*Couldn't see the face of the man drugging her and falls unconscious in his arms**
The man pulls open the cab that stopped earlier and throws Alyssa's body inside, taking a seat himself and asks the driver to drive.
Sitting besides Alyssa's body inside the car, the man caressed his fingers through her hair looking at her painfully.
Man
It's been so many years ever since I last saw you Al. All these years have made you prettier.
Man
*clenches his teeth and looks up in front removing his hands from her hairs** But, I'm sorry. You don't belong to just me now. Not anymore.
He made Alyssa's body rest against his and looked up at the driver.
Just then, Ruth's cellphone jingled. It was Rose calling. The man picked up the phone.
Rose
Al, I checked every corner of the home again. I think Angel has been kidnapped.
Man
*chuckles** You're right, and so is Angel's mother.
Man disconnects the call and takes out the sim cards. Cracking into two pieces, he threw the phone along with the sim into the Thames while they were crossing over the London bridge.
Soon the driver pulled over the entrance of the Airport.
Man
*scoops up sleeping Alyssa's body in his arms and gets out of the cab**
Cab Driver
That would be three hundred Euros, for keeping this a secret.
The driver tried blackmailing and the man turned around and smirked at him.
Man
You do have a big mouth, don't you?
Cab Driver
Yeah... well, the guy's gotta eat. If the police interrogates me about this woman later, I'll tell them everything.
Man
*taking out his gun with the silencer attached on its tip from his pocket and pointing at him** I'm sorry, but instead of Bribing to keep a f*cker's mouth shut, I prefer taking his life.
TWO
I felt like my heart crashed into a million pieces when I heard that Ryan was found dead in his office basement late at night.
And when I went to see his body there, I was shocked to my core. I know it was my Ryan. But, the condition of his body made me puke right away. I excused myself walking away from the crime scene and cried as I emptied whatever I had or not inside my stomach.
Police Officer
Mrs. Stewart?
Alyssa Parker
*wiping her mouth, composing herself after puking** Yes?
Police Officer
*offering a tissue** Hey. I'm the investigation officer in your husband's case.
Alyssa Parker
Hello. *wiping her mouth with tissues**
Police Officer
Seems with the way your husband has been killed, the killer absolutely hated him.
Alyssa Parker
*sobbing looking at her husband's body**
Police Officer
Poor guy. So, did he have any kind of dangerous enemies, or was he involved with any dangerous people?
Alyssa Parker
None that I know of, officer. And I don't think Ryan used to hide anything from me.
Alyssa Parker
He was a sweetheart. He never craved money and fame. He was a very decent and honest man. A great husband, A great father. He would never offend anyone.
Police Officer
Hmm. Well, in that case, we'll have to look for more clues then. The killer is very sharp. He has tortured the man to death all night long but has managed to wipe off this murder just fine.
Alyssa Parker
Can I- *gulps and look at Ryan's body** Can I take my husband home? F-for his funeral services?
Police Officer
Sure, Once the postmortem is done, You can take his body.
Alyssa Parker
Thank You Officer.
Saying this, I walked away heavy heatedly from there.
My husband, Ryan Stewart. He was skinned alive by those monstrous killers. His whole skin was detached from every inch of his body. The muscles, tissue, nerves and vessels were all visible trashed around on the floor. He was tortured to death.
It must have been so painful for him, how that monster must be peeling his skin off of his body slowly, inflicting so much pain on him. WHY?! WHY WOULD ANYBODY KILL RYAN?! He was the sweetest man.
His skinned hands suddenly popped inside my head, and I felt goosebumps again. The thoughts of him made me break down in tears and I felt like I couldn't walk any further. His dead body continuously kept popping in my head and suddenly I sat in the middle of the road crying like shit over my dead husband.
How am I supposed to live without my Ryan? HOW?!
Why did the heavens have the heart to snatch away something so beautiful given to me?! How am I supposed to take care of my four-year-old daughter without him? What am I going to do without him?!
