When I wake up it's full dark outside and I'm alone in the bed. I hear the clanking of the lock and jerk up. "Where are you going?" I ask. "I'll be right back," Scott says, light from the hallway outlining him in the open doorway. He's wearing his jacket and shoes, and I'm suddenly sure he's going to see that Swedish girlfriend of his. I'm too much to handle. He's just being nice to me because he feels guilty for raping me. Which he didn't, but still. "Can you stay?" I ask, tears already a prickly ball in my throat, making my voice whiny and high pitched. "I'll be back in a minute," he says. "Can I come?" I get up. It could be the only way to stop him from going. "Just lie down, Gail, I'll be right back." But I'm already pulling on my shoes and grabbing my coat. "Alright, if you insist." He holds the door open for me. He's still wearing his pajamas I see now, so maybe he wasn't lying. He's also clutching a white shopping bag filled with cans. "Where are we going?" I ask after the door snaps shut behind us.
