Emily Part 9

We can't Emily. That's not our job.

Tell me she screamed brandishing the knife at their faces.  I need to know.

Dal, calm her down screamed Jess.

OK I'll tell you. Please put the knife down.  At this point Emily lowered the knife.

It all started three years ago. You found out your boyfriend, who I'm pretending to be for your health, was cheating on you. You saw him with three other women, but not in a romantic setting. He was doing horrid things to these women. You could believe it. You could hear the things he called them and see how he way treating them and you just lost it.  Doctors said your mind couldn't take it, you vegged out. Not talking to anybody for months. Not even moving. Mark tried everything but you just were flat. You ate but hardly moved.

Then you went crazy.  Nobody knows what went through your head.  You went to Marks work and stabbed him.   But you weren’t yourself.  When people tried to stop you, you went for those people too. It was a blood bath.  You then stayed with Mark for 3 hours, just sitting there.  It was on the news.

Emily couldn't believe what she was hearing. Lies she told herself all lies.  She wouldn't hurt Mark and Mark wouldn't hurt a woman, lies.  All lies.  There is no way they could be telling the truth; I don't remember anything but that can't be true.

Come on Emily, look at me I'm not making this up, I wouldn't.  I’ve spent so much time with you, you know me. Please Emily just trust me, we have to go before it’s too late.  We need to get back before they come.  Please trust me on this.  It will be a lot worse if we don't leave now, please; I'm begging you listen to me.  Dal pleaded with Emily.

Why should I believe you, everything you say is lies.  You live in a castle of lies.  If all that happened then why can't I remember any of it?  Not one bit of it.  Emily stared at them waiting for her reply.

Dal answered before Jess could speak a word, He didn't need her to make the situation worse.  This hasn't been easy on Jess at all.  She had watched her boyfriend play boyfriend to another woman.  That would normally be enough for any woman to leave a guy, but when he explained he owed a debt this was the repayment it won’t be for long, she somehow managed to see passed it.  Jessica truly was the love of his life.

You were under medication to control your mind, It help you suppress those memories, It was designed to help you cope.  You didn't know it was sneaked into your food, you was too delicate for this kind of information.

Lies, Emily snarled, all Lies
