''Come on, baby, don't make that face,'' he says, raising his eyebrows and looking at me with a baby face sliding deeper. ''Princess, you can take six inches. Can you?'' I let out a single tear and closed my eyes shut. ''Ugh, you're so boring,'' he says, sighing in frustration. My whole body ached and I could feel it getting numb. He pulled the knife out of my stomach and tossed it across the room.
''You weren't supposed to pull it out,'' I say falling to my knees on the floor that was now covered in my blood, putting my hand to the wound and squeezing it tightly, hoping to slow the bleeding. He reaches for the table, filling himself with another glass of Scotch. I could feel my eyes getting heavy and everything started to get blurry.
''You know, we wouldn't be here if you had minded your goddamn business." ''I told you to mind your business and you didn't, so now I have to teach you a lesson but, we have some things we have to deal with first,'' Reid says taking a sip of his drink. Finally, I collect all my strengths and talk.
" Can you ple... please get me to the doctor first?" I say trying to keep my tears,'' It hurts so much. " He turns his head in frustration, takes the needle from the table, and comes closer to me.
"You can't fool me twice, you know baby," he says, a devilish smile forming on his face.
"No." ''No, please not this again. I will do whatever you want please not this again.'' but none of my pleas worked as I felt something sting my neck.
"I know you'd do anything for me, sweetie, but I'm going to need the strong one for this one," he says and after a couple of seconds I felt dizzy and everything went black.
