“Richard, I'm here. Your Vanessa is here, not Scarlett.”
“You need to leave now Scarlet, I've done enough damages to you. I'm too toxic for you” my heart broke at the fact that he called me Scarlett and not Vanessa.
“I'm not going anywhere until you open this door and I'm serious about that Richard” I screamed
“Please go away from me.” His voice was shaking, an evidence of the fact that he was very weak. A side Vanessa never saw before.
“I said I'm not going anywhere; don't you get it? You need to open this door. Open this door first before I decide to leave or not” I said
“Don't you get what I'm trying to tell you. The more you're with you, the more dangerous it is for you and the child. You should know that far better than anybody” he explained
“I didn't go through hell for things to turn out like this, you need to be strong for your child. She needs you and you can't keep hiding in your hole till forever. You need to come out, face your fears and move on with your life”
