Chapter 121

Eva heard everything. The sounds of the birds singing on the tree outside her window. The yellings of the crazy men outside her door. The clicking sounds of shoes that belonged to the psychiatrist. At night, she could hear the creeping sounds of the bugs that wanted to feast on her. She hated the place. And she hated that she was locked with crazy people. She wasn’t crazy. She was only fighting for a love that was hers and Daniel betrayed her.

The three nights at the mental home had been hell for Eva. The therapy sessions were worse. She sat, hand cuffed, before a man dressed in white overall coat.

“Eveline. Can I call you that?”

“I’m Eva?”

“How are you this morning?”

“I can’t be fine as long as I am held in this hell hole.”

“Are you ready for a session?”

“I’m not mad!”

“You tried to kill a woman who dis nothing to you thrice.”

“She took my man.”

“He isn’t yours.”

“How do you know that?!”

“Because he said so. Eva, he was only your boyfriend in high school.”

“You don’t know anything.”
