he first year Seth moved to the East Coast, years ago
T in my hand is thick and the edge of its pages are worn. As
though she didn’t just write in its pages daily, but instead read and reread
the scribbled confessions of the past three years constantly. The spine itself
is cracked and it divides the journal in two.
Guilt riddles its way into my thoughts. I shouldn’t be reading a patient’s
journal, not when she only gave it to me because I told her I’d fix it for her.
She trusted me because I’m her nurse. I’m supposed to help Delilah and
take care of her.
The poor woman who lives on pills during the day and is haunted by
nightmares when the sun sets gave me all her secrets. I know I shouldn’t
take it, but the second half of the journal starts with the description of a
barn Marcus took her to.
Marcus. Just seeing his name chills me down to my bones. I don’t even
realize that I’ve stopped moving, breathing, that I’ve simply halted in the
middle of the narrow hall until a sweet new resident asks me if I’m okay. I
think her name is Bethany.
“Fine,” I tell her and force a smile, although the scribbled name,
Marcus, lingers in my mind. The whispered hiss, Marcus, repeats itself
faster and faster as I make my way to the office to read what she wrote
about him. The Rockford Center deals with mental health, so naturally,
drugs and violence are a conversation starter. Many of my patients talk
about Marcus. Marcus and the Cross brothers. Recently, Seth King is a
name that’s going around too. I have to close my eyes, swallowing thickly as
I shut the door to the dark office, leaning my back against it and simply
trying to breathe.
Seth King, the man I loved on the other side of the country. The man I
ran away from. He gave me time, but I knew he’d come for me. It’s been a
week since I first heard he was here, only miles from me, and I’ve been
praying. I begged God to give me a sign, to tell me what to do. Opening my
eyes, I stare down at the notebook. My salvation.
I every page of Delilah’s journal, hiding in the small back
office of the Rockford Center. I can still remember how anxious I was and
how heat smothered every inch of my skin. Knowing I could be fired
instantly, I still had to do it. I’d only just started working at the center, my
first job as a nurse. I had to do whatever it took to survive. I suppose I’d
been saying that a lot back then.
That journal was my leverage for when Seth inevitably came for me.
Filled with multiple entries all about Marcus, the boogeyman, the Grim
Reaper. A faceless villain who made deals in back alleys, running the
streets around these parts, battling for power along with the Cross brothers.
