Chapter 11
Cornered
Sam stands up and backs away from Caleb. "What are you talking about?! I already told you I'm not Livvie. And I've never been her!" Caleb stands up. "You keep on telling yourself that, but I can see it. Part of you fighting to come out, but the other trying so hard to stay hidden." "You're crazy." Caleb just smiles and slowly starts to walk in Sam's direction.
"You know the first time we met you thought the same thing…" Sam begins to back up as Caleb becomes closer and closer. "I told you I was your future… Of course at that time you didn't believe me… you believed that Jack was your endgame. But you also didn't understand the frailty of human love, and how easily it can fall apart."
Sam's back soon meets with the wall behind, now being cornered with no place to run. "I was the one who showed you the possibilities. I was the one who opened you to a new and vibrant world full of life, and things you never imagined possible… Do you remember?"
Sam's body begins to shake as she tries to look away. "No" she whispers as a tear finds its way down her cheek. "Look at me…" Sam doesn't. Caleb grabs Sam by the wrists and starts to shake her. "Look into my eyes!... and tell me you don't remember…."
Sam looks up startled and scared. Barely able to comprehend what's going on, Sam then looks into Caleb's eyes and starts to feel the unbearable pain once more. Her eyes once again lock with Caleb's, unable to pull away. Another spark of an image appears in Sam's head.
She sees an image of what looks like her sobbing on the ground by a river. She's lying down in the grass, then suddenly jumps up to see Caleb sitting no less than 10 feet away, holding a daisy.
"Livvie…" he says still concentrated.
Sam starts losing the image to darkness. Her body becomes weak, and her skin becomes pale. Caleb watches her eyes close, as her limp body begins to fall. Caleb's arms sweep beneath her just in time, stopping her from plummeting to the earth.
"Olivia….." he whispers, stoking her head. Caleb then quickly wisps her unmoving body over to the silk couch, and lays her down. He kneels next to her and holds her tight. "Please…Forgive me….…. I didn't mean to push you this hard…" A tear flows down Caleb's face. He soon hears her voice. Sam is mumbling something. "What?" he asks her.
Her hand starts to move. "C…Caleb." "Yes?" he replies back. Her hand slowly finds its way to Caleb's.
"My…..Love…" Sam's hand then falls limp, leaving her unconscious.
