Sleeping Beauty and psychotic behavior (part 2, short)

Cassie jerked awake and flung her body into a sitting position as if possessed. “What are you doing- who the fuck do you think you are?” Anger and rage made the push she gave Tyler strong enough to knock him backwards and into the open door of the band room. 1

“Chill the fuck out you crazy bitch, you're the fucked up one.” 2

Tyler turned his back and walked into the main room of the club. Cassie ran at him; drugged, crazed, jumped onto his back and starting beating him with her fists. Tyler grabbed at her and pulled her off his back, flinging her hundred pound body to the floor. Cassie cringed and crawled up into a kneeling position with her head in her hands and started to sob.3

“What happened? What are we doing in here? Where is everyone? Please help me…”4

Tyler was breathing hard from the scuffle and had to think. He was shocked to see Cassie change back into the innocent, yet seemingly knowing what she was asking for- woman he had always thought her to be. That’s what had turned him on about her to begin with. Her eyes had always cried out to him; take me she would yearn, but almost as a challenge, take me…if you can. He looked around him and leaned over the bar to glance out the window. There were no cars left in the parking lot; Cassie always parked on a side street and walked over.  5

He had been watching her for a month now. Every Saturday she would show up to watch the bands. Always alone and most of the time dressed like she was going to a high society dance club. He had seen her twice on a Friday too, those nights she wore totally opposite clothes; baggy pants and fitted t-shirts with band names. He had thought she was some spoiled college girl looking for a bad boy to piss her Daddy off with.   6

Cassie was rocking back and forth on her heels ever so slightly and Tyler knelt down and touched her shoulder, “I was trying to take care of you, are you okay now?” 7

“I’m just so tired” she said, and stood up slowly. She brought her arms up to her chest and clasped her hands together. “I shouldn’t drink so much...I always drink too much here...where is Kenny?” 8

Cassie stared up at Tyler. Her eyes were huge and sad, her pupils seemed to look straight through him. He felt a twinge of guilt, but a surge of protectiveness and a want to take possession of her at the same time.9

“He left you with me, you said you wanted to stay and party some more.”10

Cassie’s body stiffened and she averted her eyes to the floor. He was lying. She’d never send Kenny off. Her hand fluttered to her face to wisp away a strand of hair and as his eyes followed the movement she bolted towards the font of the club. Cassie slammed into the door and grabbed for the handle, ‘damn it was locked, her mind screamed, how do I get out?’ Too drugged to realize she could unlock the deadbolt and just open the door, she punched the window as hard as she could. The window only fractured the tiniest bit, so with a burst of tears she ran towards the bar to use a bar stool. Tyler had been watching her and when she punched the glass he started towards her. He reached her before she reached the stool and put his hands on top of it to prevent her from lifting it up. 11

“What are you doing?” He yelled. “YOU wanted to be with me. YOU'RE still here because you wanted to fuck the owner of the bar remember?”12

Cassie was struggling to get control of herself. She was terrified he was going to hit her at any second to keep her from leaving. Her arms flew up to her chest and her hands over her face. ‘Oh my god, Oh my god’ she thought, ‘what am I doing?’13

“I’m so sorry, I’m just so fucked up..help me..help me,” She whimpered.14

Tyler let go of the bar stool and grabbed her tightly, putting his hands in her hair and firmly pulling her face up to look at him. “YOU wanted me-got it? You told Kenny and Jake to go on, that you would get a ride with me. You came right over and took a shot.”15

Cassie felt sick. ‘What if he was a good guy’ she rationalized, trying to get her thoughts together. ‘She was such a fuck up. She should probably take all the chances she got at this point. Oh god, I want to go home, I am so freaked out. I need Brad, somebody. I gotta get out of here.’ 16

As Tyler started kissing her she began to feel faint; the dizziness scared her back into reality and she whispered “Umm, I’m sorry, but I really have to pee...I’ll be right back.”17

Tyler looked at her and ran his hand down her back to her ass. She smiled and walked clumsily around the other side of the bar to the bathroom. She stood in the doorway for just a moment and then ran towards the bar, grabbed a stool and threw it towards the front glass window. It shattered the glass and Cassie screamed. Just as Tyler was coming around to the front of the bar she jumped through the window and ran.  18
