little girl you messed with last year. I didn’t give in then, and I’m not going to give in now.”
    “You have no idea what you’re talking about,” he says.
    “I do know that you’re an asshole,” I say. “I got a message from Olivia today.”
    His face flinches when I say her name. At least that got some kind of reaction. Maybe underneath the hard shell, he has a soft spot after all. Obviously, Olivia is his weakness. Maybe I can use that to my advantage.
    “She was telling me how much she misses you.”
    He doesn’t say anything, he just looks at me.
    “You are disgusting,” I say. “How could you do that to her? To me? I really did think you loved me.”
    “I did love you,” he says. “I do love you.”
    “If you did, you wouldn’t be doing this.”
    “You aren’t seeing the whole picture. You’re just seeing what is right in front of you,” he says. “You know, I really thought you loved me. But you so easily believed that I wronged you.”
    “How could I not believe?” I ask, stepping closer to him. I don’t want him to know how truly scared I am right now. I want him to think I’m brave. “I saw a video, Brian. There was proof. Not only that, but you confessed.”
    “You and I were inseparable for three months. Do you really think I am the kind of guy who is capable of all those horrible things?”
    “I didn’t think so, no,” I say. “But obviously you’re good at hiding who you really are. God, I feel so stupid. I trusted you. I gave you my heart, and you just ripped it apart. What you did messed me up bad. I don’t know how I will ever be able to trust another guy.”
    “Kihanna, look in your heart,” he says. “Don’t believe everything you see and hear. What does your heart say?”
    “My heart says you’re a manipulative guy who is capable of ruining my life,” I say, not bothering to keep my voice down. “You stalked me, Brian. And you killed people. You’re a different person than the guy I dated. There is obviously something wrong with you... something wrong with me. How could I not see?”
    My chest hurts.
    The truth is, I haven’t gotten over Brian.
    I’m not talking about this Brian. The manipulator. The liar. The murderer. No, I’m talking about the Brian Asher whom I dated. The sweet guy. The guy whom I fell in love with. I gave him my whole heart, and I never got it all back.
    I hate that he has this power over me.
    “I hate you,” I tell him. “So fucking much. And I hate you for making me hate you. I hate you for making me wonder what my life would be if it wasn’t you stalking me. I hate that I wonder what it would be like if we were still together. I hate that there are two sides of you. And I especially hate that part of me still loves the other side of you. I’m screwed up. You screwed me up.”
    Brian starts to say something when I see somebody walk up beside me.
    “Everything okay here?” I hear Micah’s voice.
    I look over at him, and then at Brian.
    How in the world am I supposed to explain this to Micah?
    Brian’s face hardens. “Obviously I didn’t screw you up that badly. Seems like your love life is doing just fine. You have three guys willing to do just about anything to be with you.” With that, he turns and walks away. I watch as he walks towards the door and then walks out.
    I look at Micah. He is watching me with a puzzled face. I just wish I had answers. Not just for him, but for me too.
    “Who was that?” Micah asks.
    What a loaded question.
    “That was the guy who ruined my life last year,” I answer.
    He raises an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”
    “Do you remember the ex-boyfriend I told you about? The one who stalked me, went to prison, and then was killed?” I ask.
    He nods.
    “He’s not as dead as I thought,” I say.
    Micah’s jaw drops open.
    “That was why I left the Halloween party early,” I explain. “Brian showed up. And it’s also why I’m moving in with Gabe and Ty. That night, when I came home,
