Lots and lots of yelling

"Why did you lie to me Caleb. It really hurts. Do you not feel safe with me? Are you so upset with that idiot's death? Is someone else involved? Is it a girl? Who is it?"

I tried screaming but Hannya put her hand over my mouth. Holy shit, she's mad. I made a big mistake.

"You can only talk if you answer me, Caleb. You can't scream." Hannya gave me a frown.

I calmed down and nodded my head. She let go of my mouth. "What are you doing here? I told you to not come!" I would have asked myself what was wrong with her, but that was obvious. She's crazy.

"Answer me Caleb." Hanna repeated while gripping my arms. She was inching closer and closer to my face.

"I-I just wanted some space... that's all!"

"Liar! You liar! You're lying to me!! You're mad at me!"

"Hannya calm do-" I urged her. She's gonna kill me. I need to get out of here:

"No! I won't!! I didn't see you all day, I was waiting for school to be over so I could get rid of the body and come to you!" Hannya looked like she was in pain. "I missed you so much since you weren't at school! I worked so hard and then you tell me I can't see you! It... it really hurts. My heart feels so broken. I felt so empty to be so far from you. I cried for so long after the phone call. Why are you doing this to me? I-I said I was sorry! Please!"

"You were being irresponsible! You should have gotten rid of the body faster!" I knew I wasn't being too harsh. This was a serious matter.

There was dead silence in the room for nearly a minute.

"Caleb, do you love me?" I felt like a weight was dropped onto my stomach. I should reply 'yes' right? I mean, she might kill me if I don't.

"Well-" Hannya soon interrupted me and drew her mouth closer to my ears and whispered.

"You're thinking, 'I'll say yes so she won't kill me' aren't you? You never loved, haven't you? You only ever said it to satisfy me. You hate me, Caleb. You hate me."

I didn't feel like that was right. I don't think I hated her.

"I don't hate you, Hannya." I sighed and tried to move my face away from her.

"You might as well hate me. It doesn't make a difference when you don't reciprocate my love."

"I'm sorry bu-but I can't forgive you when you've caused me so much trouble. I put up with it at first because I was too emotionally wrecked to think straight."

"Will you not accept my apology Caleb? What do you want? I'll give you anything for forgiveness." Hannya let go of my arms and started unbuttoning her top. She was still in her white collared school shirt. "Will you forgive me if I-I show you...?" She started to tear up, her lower jaw shaking as she tried to hold back from crying. "I-I love you. I love y-you." Hannya kept repeating.

"Eh? Wha-What are you talking about?" I stared at Hannya's chest like I was in a trance. This wouldn't be so bad. With her so emotional it would be pretty easy to sleep with her. No no no. That's not right, you know that. Stop thinking that.

I quickly snapped out of the trance. "Wait-no! That's not what I mean." I shooed her hands from her buttons. "I'm mad at you, but showing me... isn't going to make me change my mind!"

"So you won't forgive me? At all? Even though I've protected you? Why? Why are you doing this to me, Caleb?"

I kept silent. There wasn't a way to explain. It would only set her off. Even if she wasn't crazy, how could I love someone I hadn't even known for too long.

"You'll love me soon. I'll keep you with me, nobody will hurt you that way. I wouldn't have to kill people to protect you either. It'll just be the two of us. Then you'll love me."

"Wha-What do you mean, Hannya?"

"Stay right here please, sweetie." Hannya put on a fake smile and got up to rummage through her bag.

Should I run? I could run right now? Why am I not running? I should be running.

Too late, Hannya tied my hand to the bedpost. I frantically tried unknotting the hand. Ugh she tied it right, and I had a feeling she wouldn't put a towel under the rope like the last time.

"Hannya knock it off and untie me. We should talk about this. You're being too emotional right now." Hanna finished tying as I spoke.

"Too emotional? No, I'm not. You're mine. My most prized possession. I have a right to protect you."

"That isn't love. You know this is wrong." I wasn't so sure she did know, but I was trying to get her to untie me.

"Caleb," Hannya bent over the bed to give me a kiss on my forehead. I blushed, even though I didn't intend to. "Please don't tell me what love is. After all, you don't even love me."

"Hannya, please stop it. Untie me, ok?" I cleared my throat. "I love you." It was painfully forced and fake.

"Stop it stop it!" Hannya jumped away from me and held her arms as she shook back and forth. "Don't say that! You know you're lying! If you keep saying it when you don't mean it, it won't be special when you grow to really love me! Those words are special! Every time I say it I mean it!"

"Hannya ju-just calm down!"

"What will make you love me? I cook for you, protect you, I try to be really cute for you. I'm growing my hair out since you seem to be into girls with long hair. What is it? Answer me, I'll do it. Just give me a chance, please."

"Okay I'll answer you. Just like I said before, don't kill anyone. The only reason I started dating you was to stop you from killing people. I failed, so I felt there wasn't a point in continuing this."

"The-The only reason." Hannya turned and left to the restroom. Why did she leave? Was she getting a knife to kill me for saying those mean things? I need to get out of h-

Hannya soon came back. She didn't bring anything from the restroom or button her uniform. Hannya just looked at me. Her eyes were red. She cried in the bathroom, didn't she?

"I-I'm sorry." I croaked. Was she finally done with me, was Hannya going to kill me?

Hannya took off her shoes and padded onto the bed next to me. She laid her head on my shoulder, pinning me down as she sobbed. I could maybe escape my ropes while Hannya cried. But I didn't want to. I wanted to comfort her."

"Hannah-it's fine. Please stop crying. It's alright. You shouldn't cry. I'm sorry."

"I ju-just want to protect you. I love you, I really do."

"Yeah, yeah I know." I told her.

"If you keep avoiding me... I don't know what I'll do." Hannya didn't sound threatening at all, just sad. Did I really emotionally wreck this girl? I felt a bit bad, even after everything she had done.

I wrapped my arms around her and held her close to me, despite how uncomfortable the made me. "It's fine. What's done is done. I know you won't do it again."

Hannya wiped her tears away and lifted her head from my shoulder. My shoulder was soaking wet.

"I love you. I adore you. I will always. Don't ever avoid me again or else I'll..." Hannya stopped talking, she pushed herself further on top of me and started to kiss me.

"Mmph." I tried speaking but my mouth was too busy. It felt really nice. I closed my eyes and just enjoyed it.

We laid in my bed for a while, I didn't know how long. Just lying next to each other. I didn't even realise that I was still tied down.

"Hannya?" I gestured to my hands.

"Yes?" Hannya perked her head up and smiled.

"Mind taking these... uh ropes off? Now that we're done with all this."

"No." She said bluntly and giggled. Hannya placed her head back onto my chest.

Heh, maybe she does have a sense of humour? Hannya wouldn't hold me here, we made up. Everything was fine, right?

"Haha that's funny. But for real- these ropes are getting kinda uncomfortable to be tied to. Also my legs are asleep." I gave an awkward smile."

"It's fine, I'll get you to my house soon. There you'll have a lot of room to roam around."

"You-You're serious? Hannya- I thought we went through thi-"

"No, don't you see? If I keep you in my house and never let you go Nobody can hurt you so I won't have to hurt others. It's a win-win."

I couldn't imagine living with Hannya forever, probably chained to a radiator. I started thrashing in my bed, freaking out.

"Caleb! Calm down, you'll love me soon. I'll feed you; wear cute outfits, you won't have to go to that horrible school anymore either!"

"No no no, please Hannya don't do this!"

"Why not? It's perfect." Hannah looked dumbfounded.

"Don't you see how crazy this is? Sure I'm not that outdoorsy, but I'll go insane if I'm trapped in the same room for the rest of my life. People will worry about me after winter break is over!"

"It's fine it's fine. Please don't worry yourself, I'll take care of everything." Hannya gave a comforting smile. Somehow it had worked in a way. I stopped thrashing and just stared at her. "Ooh you must be hungry, right? I'll make dinner."

"Can you at least untie me for that? I'd rather eat with you." Maybe I can escape that way.

"I have a better plan in mind." Hannya giggled and ran out of the room.

Soon enough I smelled the aroma of a freshly cooked meal. I would be lying if I said I didn't miss Hannya's cooking. I can escape after I eat dinner, I convinced myself.

Hannya bound into my room after she was done and scooted my chair over to the bed. She sat down and placed a bowl on her lap.

"I'll feed you since your hands are tied, Caleb." Hannya held a spoonful of meatloaf to my mouth. At least she didn't treat me like a baby. I reluctantly swallowed the spoonful.

"Can you at least let me eat with my own hands. This is a bit demeaning." Ugh it just seems so embarrassing.

"No, I can't trust you to not run away. If I untie your hands you'll leave. It'll be hard getting you back if you run off. I knew it was foolish to think you'd fall for me so quickly. Once you get to know me, once we stay together, then you'll love me." Hannya gave me a warm smile.

I tried to argue with her but it was hard to find the words. "That's not..." Things started to get hazy. I could barely see the outline of Hannya's face. She ran her hand through my hair. "What did you... Hannya."

"It's fine Caleb, just go to sleep for a bit. I'll wake you up later."

"Hannya you did som...." I tried speaking in my daze.

"Just a little bit of Rohypnol. It's fine, it won't last that long in your system."

"I tried to protest, I tried to grab Hannya. I couldn't. I didn't have the strength. Everything became foggy and unrecognisable from each other. And just like that I slipped out of consciousness.

I woke up in a totally empty room. No cuffs, no chaining to a radiator. It was just a grey concrete room with a single door. I must have been out for a few hours. I started freaking out, this wasn't as bad as what I had imagined but it was definitely bad. Shit, how do I get out?? No windows, only a door. Maybe I can break it do-

I heard a few latches unbuckle from the door. It creaked open slowly. Hannya popped her head through, almost giving me a heart attack. She was in more comfortable clothing, a snug jacket and loose pants.

"Hannya, where the hell did you bring me?!" I shouted at her as she walked towards me. I wanted to run but I was frozen in fear and confusion from the new environment.

Hannya gave me a hug and pecked me on the cheek. My blood ran cold, probably the first time I didn't blush.

Hannya grinned and said, "I cleaned this place pretty well. Doubt anybody would know someone died here."
