She couldn't believe what she had just seen.
There she was, standing in the doorway of Billy's room. In front of her, was her boyfriend Tyler, covered in blood after just having murdered Billy with his very own hands.
And Tricia had seen everything.
"Tricia..." whispered Tyler, "Wait...."
She wasn't listening. She was almost frozen in place. Her eyes were fixated on all the blood on his shirt and the corpse at his feet.
"Tricia...."
She hated Billy... she wanted the scum dead just like everyone else.....
But watching the man die like that.... seeing the cold, inhuman look in Tyler's eyes as he brought the knife down.... and then all the blood splattering over.
She wasn't ready, and now she was scared.
"Tricia!"
That was it. She ran from the room, her feet and her fear carrying her down the hallway. Her heart threatened to pound right out of her chest.
She thought she knew him so well, but seeing those green eyes of his that she loved, so chilling and devoid of any emotion, had shocked her to the very core.
She was terrified, terrified of the man she was supposed to be in love with, and now she was running as far away from him as possible, even though she could hear him calling out to her, begging for her to come back.
But she still ran.

He found her in her room later on. She was just sitting there, with a blank look in her eyes. He walked over to her bed and knelt down in front of her but she refused to look at him.
"Tricia... Tricia look, I did what I to do ok."
She wasn't listening to him.
"Please Tricia," continued Tyler, "What I did today... I mean, you know I would never hurt you right."
Tricia wanted so badly to believe him, but when she turned to look at him and saw those eyes, she saw a completely different person now.
"I don't know you at all," said Tricia. That was all she had to say. She lay down on her bed and turned away from Tyler.
That was a cue for him to leave.
Tyler shook his head softly, running a hand through his ruffled brown hair, feeling totally helpess. Slowly, he stood back to his feet. He wanted to stay with her, wanted to make things right, but the situation seemed so hopless right now.
"Fine," said Tyler.
With nothing else to say, he walked out of her room, closing the door behind him on his way out.
