In the following days, Maggie wasn't sure what to feel.

She desperately wanted more from Otis, but he had become cold towards her once again. Shrugging her off as if she was nothing.

He scowled at her when she brushed against his shoulders or when she would place a hand on his back, only staying a moment before he would shove her away.

Finally, she cornered him, grabbing his arms and stopping him in the hallway.

"Otis, what the FUCK is your problem?"

"What? I don't have a fucking problem get the fuck away from me."

"We had sex and now you won't even look at me!"

"I just wanted a goddamn blow job and to get laid is that so hard to understand?!"

She glared. "You felt...Nothing. That night?"

"No! Let me go! Stop TOUCHING me!" He struggled against her grip.

"That's not what you were saying when you were plowing into me that night."

"I wasn't saying anything that night."

"I know! It's fucking weird it's like you didn't enjoy it!"

"I enjoyed it. But it wasn't you I was seeing."

She was silent a moment, processing what he had said. "I want you, Otis..."

"I'm unavailable."

"Why are you like this?"

"Like what." he dared, eyes narrowing.

"You're such a fucking BASTARD!"

"How so, princess?" He growled.

"You...You fucking shove everyone away that's not her! God...GOD Otis she's DEAD! She's fucking dead and there's not a goddamn thing you can do about it! Being a fucking asshole to everyone that comes into your path isn't going to bring her back."

He swallowed heavily, eyes not leaving hers. "I know that."

"Then why!? I bet you she didn't even FUCKING love you like I could! I could give you real love. Could actually love you. I bet she never even did. She was a fucking rich princess fucking doctor white collar bitch. I bet she just fucking took pity on your grouchy, sorry ass because no one else would love a fucking freak!"

She hadn't even registered she had been launched against the wall until he was choking her.

"OTIS NO!" She heard Baby's voice and felt relief. Otis was blurring in front of her as the world began to go black. "RUFUS! HELP ME I CAN'T GET HIS HANDS OFF!"

She heard loud footsteps and then felt air rush back into her lungs as she coughed, falling to the floor.

Otis struggled wildly against Rufus, still trying to get to her, screaming a war cry she had never heard before and never cared to hear again.

"Calm down!" Rufus struggled to keep him restrained as he flailed and fought against the much larger man. "God DAMMIT Otis!" Rufus flung him against the wall, pinning him by the throat. "Stop it!"

Otis clawed at RJ's arm scratching hard enough to make him bleed until he gave up, coughing against RJ's tightened hand.

"Get her out of here, Baby. I don't know what she did, but if I let him go, he'll kill her. Take her away from him for a minute."

"Come on, Maggie." Baby helped her up and took her to her room, mercifully far away from Otis's, where Rufus was dragging him by the hair. "What the FUCK happened?"

As Maggie related the story to Baby- Van episode and all- she sighed.

"W...We loved Adi. You don't understand...I understand you're upset with him because you wanted more, but you don't know just how wrong you are."

"I was hurt. I was upset. I was angry...I...I didn't mean what I said."

"They were...They were perfect together. She loved him as much as he loved her. It was almost like...When they were together the stars aligned for them. Something good and solid and stable was in Otis's life for once. You don't even understand how much he's hurt in his lifetime..."

"I know. I know...I know I was wrong..."

"I hope for your sake he knows, too."

Maggie rubbed at her throat. "God...He really..."

"He was going to kill you, Maggie. There's no doubt about it. I've never seen that much anger in him. I don't even know if he knew what he was doing, to be honest with you. He might have blacked out."

"God...I guess there's no chance of being with him now, is there?"

"I would venture a guess not. But Otis is surprising. Very, very surprising. You never know with him. But I would stay away from him for a while. At the very least, a week. He tends to hold on to things..."

"Especially..."

"Especially about Adoria."

"That...That was her name?"

"Yes...Adoria. She was great...But I would tread lightly for a few days, okay? If you see him in a room or something, don't go in. Just...Lay low."

"Alright...I'm sorry, Baby..."

"It'll be okay..." She closed the door behind her as she left, venturing to Otis's room where he was still screaming with rage.
