Chapter76

Rita walked Allen outside the hospital. Since she was here, Allen had to go back. Even though she really wanted to be with her grandmother, she knew that she could not. Right now, Allen was feeling really scared. Someone else who wasn't involved already knew her secret. Even though Sonia said she wasn't going to say anything she was the perfect description of insecure right now. And that physopath Ryan was back. He was back and he already knew about it. What is she going to do now? What if he decides to cause trouble for her? What is she going to do? What if Raymond Walker finds out about it? How is she going to deal with him?
Rita looked at her friend. Allen looked scared. She had said herself that she was going to be strong and that she won't give up so easily but no matter what, there was no way that she could stop herself from being scared. Even Rita herself was scared. She too had witnessed all the things that Ryan had done back then. When he spoke to her that day, he seemed that he had gotten much more worse. He did not have a bottom line anymore and he would do anything. She did not want to tell Allen and scare her even more but it seemed like his obsession had gotten worse.
Rita really wanted to comfort Allen. It was just as she said. They could not be weak now. They needed all of thier strength to deal with that person Ryan. If they got weak now and gave up, he would just do the same things that he did back then over and over again. And besides, there was still Allen's grandmother back there. To think that everything was because of the things that Ryan had done then, Rita was really annoyed. "Allen, we have to be strong. We can't be so weak now soon. Don't let this get to you. Don't worry, I'm going to think of something. I'm sure that we can think of something to do together" Rita said.
Allen too knew that she should do something. But she did not know what she was supposed to do. How is she going to take care of this situation? What will happen to her now? Should she tell Paul and Lena that there is some crazy physopath bastard who knows about this? But she did not want to disappoint the both of them? What was the other option for her? Meeting Ryan and begging him not to do anything rash? Will that even work? When has he ever listened to the voice of reason? Allen was really frustrated now. She really regretted meeting him. If only she had not met him!
Because of Ryan, a lot of things went wrong in her life. Her grandmother got sick. She had to give up her dream. She had been living really terribly for the part five years. Now that she finally got a chance...now that she got an opportunity to get her life back on track, he is suddenly back and he knows about it all. What is she supposed to do now? What is Ryan really? Has he been sent to torture her all through her life? "I really don't know what I'm supposed to do now Rita. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I feel so scared. What will Ryan do? What nonsense crazy thing is he going to do this time?" Allen asked Rita.
Rita too did not have an answer for that. There was no one who had ever been able to predict what he will be able to do. But she felt bad seeing her friend crying like that. So she decided to comfort her. As long as they thought of something together, Rita was sure that they would be able to think of a way to deal with that Ryan. "Don't be sad Allen. Don't cry. I know that you feel helpless right now but I'm sure that we will be able to think of something very soon. We will let him do anything to harm us the way that he did five years ago" Rita said. She was comforting Allen with those words but she did know what she was supposed to do about this. .
Allen held back the tears that were threatening to fall. She did not want to be weak so soon. She had not even met Ryan yet. If she started to cry and be weak now, when will she get the strength to be able to deal with him in the future? She won't be able to do that then. So even though she was scared, she held it all back. "I know, I can't be weak right now Rita. I have to hold on for the sake of my grandmother. If anything happens to her then I don't really know what I'll do then. Don't worry, I won't be weak. I'll hold on for my grandmother's sake" Allen said. She really meant it this time. She won't be as weak as before.
********
Allen entered the house. She was late today because she went to see her grandmother so she thought that by now, Raymond would have definitely come back. She was scared about having to face him. She had been making an effort to come back early, eat and go to sleep. She did not want to see him because she did not want to be found out by him. In fact, the both of them had not seen each other for some days now. It wasn't as if they shared a room anyway. She was surprised when she entered the house and saw that it was dark. He did not come back yet?
Allen was surprised. It was a happy surprise. Since he did not come back yet, it meant that she could escape him for one more day. Allen chuckled to herself when she thought of this. For how long will she be able to continue hiding from him like this? Will she be able to do it for much longer? She really wanted to know. Will the six months pass uneventfully like this? The last person that she wanted to worry about right now was Raymond Walker so she hoped that it would continue like this. She switched on the light. And then she saw him, he as sitting on the couch, drinking. Allen's heart paused for half a second. So he was here
But if he was home, why was he sitting and drinking in the dark? What is going on with him today? She looked at the god like man in front of her. She could not help but feel scared. She felt scared that something was going on with him. He was like a god that she could never reach. And now because of some crazy twist of fate she had to live with him as his wife, it really was ironic. Allen had to admit the fact that she was scared of this man. She was really very scared of him. And she wanted to escape. But for six months, she was bound. "You are home? Why are you drinking in the dark?" Allen said. Her mind told her to just flee but somehow her body did not cooperate and she found herself asking.
