I never loved you. That’s a fact.
You were a lying, cheating, manipulating piece of shit. You controlled what I did, what I said, what I wore. You beat up my brother. You tracked me. You had photos of me that I didn’t know about.
Do you know what was the last straw for me? When you beat me, Darren. When you physically hurt me just because I didn’t get you exactly what you asked for.
It hurt, you know? Have you ever been beaten by a person twice your size simply for a small mistake?
I tried to escape; So many times. You have no idea. Last year I tried to save up money to buy a ticket to run to another city, but you found my money and used it all to buy beer for your friends. Didn’t even care when I cried to you.
Then I tried to stay at my friend Lilian’s place for a few weeks while I tried to get back on my feet. But you found me, because you had a tracking device strapped to my bag like a fucking creep you are.
And then I tried to call for help from other people. But you could see my texts. You could see me through the cameras every day even if you weren’t there yourself. So I couldn’t really do anything.
But when you fell sick and had to stay home from work, Darren, that worked in my favor. You were so weak from your cold that you slept most of the day. That’s a little dangerous, don’t you think? A little risky?
But you didn’t, because you don’t think. If you ever do, it’s about yourself.
So when I had to nurse you back to health, I was the one in charge. Everything was in my hands.
I could’ve simply put a few drops of bleach or that window cleaner in your tea. I could’ve drugged your medicine. I could’ve given you three pieces of that super strong antibiotics instead of one. I could’ve left and you would’ve died because you didn’t have anyone to take care of you.
But I didn’t. Why? I wanted you to suffer. I wanted you to go through all the pain I did.
So what did I do, Darren?
It was simple: One fine day, as I’ve given your medicine and your cup of tea as usual, I went outside for a little bit.
Do you remember all those days I went out to “visit” Lilian, Darren? Of course you do.
I wasn’t visiting her. I was going to the animal shelter, getting more and more of them.
So when I went out for a little bit, I went back there. Gathered up so many of them. The thing is, they listen to me only. I’ve trained them to do so. It took months but I did it.
So I led them all to the house. They were all hungry - I haven’t fed or given them water that day.
I brought them all - 13 in total. I’m sure you could hear them through the door, could you, Darren?
They were hungry. They were thirsty.
And they were dogs.
They have teeth. They have strong bodies. They have a leader.
And that is me.
So when I opened the door and all of them leaped into the house, right to the couch you were sitting on - do you know what I was thinking, Darren?
Now everything was in my control. I was the one in charge with you. I had power.
I guess we’re even now, huh, Darren?
