CHAPTER 21

“NO!”

I woke gasping to an empty bedroom.

I fell back almost sighing in relief which later turned into laboured breaths. What was the dream about? Was there Robbie in it? Ever since that day he jumped on me from the alley, I was having this realistic dreams, mostly with him in it.

Robbie had to be in this too. He controlled me even when he was not near.

Stop thinking about him the first in the morning, Ace.

Well, 2 am is also morning.

I wished I had someone to talk to. Someone who was mine.

‘You will come with me.’ I was trying real hard not to fall for his acts. I did not want to be that side-bitch.

I deserved better. I deserved someone who was mine.

But no one would take care of me like Robbie did. No one would buy me a chocolate cake in the middle of night, just because I woke up dreaming about it. I hadn’t meant to wake him up; I just needed a sip of water, but when I came back to bed, he was wide awake.
