Context: You were with him for four years before it all went wrong. Your loving, sweet boyfriend slowly grew more jealous. Possessive. Paranoid. He went to extreme measures to keep you but you managed to escape over six years ago. You've tried moving on but part of you still misses him. Maybe even loves him a little. It's not healthy but you'd rather remember the man you loved than the maniac he became. Sometimes, you even wonder what he's up to. Thank goodness you'll never have to confront him again... right?

Setting: Your apartment

[Scene opens in your apartment]

[SFX: A door being unlocked and closed]

[It’s a strange day and you’re in a strange mood. It’s been six years since you escaped him and this night would have been your tenth anniversary together. You can still hear his voice at times]

Please understand, Moonlight! Please! I have to keep you down here, but don’t worry, OK?! I’m still going to take care of you! I just need you to understand that I can’t be without you, O-OK?!

[You reach up to your neck where a locket still dangles as if on autopilot]

Don’t cry… Please don’t cry. I swear, I will do ANYTHING to make you happy! I can’t… I can fix this, alright? Just tell me what you need! We’ve been together for four fucking years, don’t do this!!

[SFX: The locket being played with]

[You try to focus on something else but your brain drifts further back. To when things were wonderful:]

Why did I bring you to the beach? Well… I just needed to confirm something. We’ve been hanging out for over a year, and I’ve never been happier. I wanted to come out here and offer to give you the moon, but, I kind of feel like you stole all of her beauty. Like you’re made of pure moonlight…

[Pause]

I love you… It feels like I’m lost any time you aren’t there, I love you so, so, so much. Please… Please, will you allow me the honor of being your boyfriend?

[Pause]

Hearing that you love me too makes me-

[SFX: Something being knocked over and shattering on the ground]

[Something falls behind you and you jump. You turn, expecting that you knocked over the same damned plastic plant that you always knock over… but come face-to-face with him]

[SFX: Something being dropped in shock]

“Moonlight… I finally found you. Finally! Oh, come here, let me hold you, my love!”

[You stare in horror at him, backing away with each step he takes toward you]

[Pause]

“... Please don’t be afraid, my Moonlight. I know you’re confused but I also know that you’re finally ready to see me!”

[A slightly manic laugh leaves him]

“I’ve had to wait six years… Six long, agonizing years before I could see you again. I missed you terribly. Here, come, sit on the couch with me, won’t you?”

[Pause]

[His voice harshens slightly]

“I will NOT leave! No… Not after all this time. Now… Sit. Down.”

[SFX: Footsteps and the couch creaking]

“Good girl… That’s my good girl. Rest your head in my lap, won’t you? For old times’ sake.”

[You do, trembling as he strokes your hair]

“Shh… You don’t need to be afraid. You never needed to be but… I will admit that my methods weren’t beneficial to either of us. I locked you away. Chained you up. It wasn’t kind of me, no, not at all, but I was so desperate to keep you! Surely, you understand?”

[Pause]

“The night you escaped… I tore that stupid basement apart. I searched for you, screaming bloody murder, begging you to return to me. But… as I was lying in the wreckage of our former life together, I noticed something…”

[SFX: A chain rattling and him letting out a happy little sigh]

“The locket… You kept the locket I gave you, even after all this time. Is my picture still in it? Hmm?”

[SFX: The locket opening]

[He breathes a dreamy sigh as he opens the locket]

“You did… You kept my locket, even my picture. You DO love me! Even after all this time!”

[...?]

“How did I find you? I told you, darling. Many years ago, remember?”

[His voice echoes in your mind. You remember being before a Christmas tree with a warm fire crackling nearby]

Merry Christmas, sweetheart. Here. Open this one first, OK?

[SFX: A gift being unwrapped]

I knew you’d love it. I never was the biggest fan of lockets until you told me you found them romantic. So, I had this one made for you. Look inside…

[Pause]

Hmhm, I know. I know it’s not the best picture of me, but I always want to be with you. I got a matching locket with your picture - shush, you can’t take a bad picture. I always want you to be with me, too. I honestly don’t know how I’d ever live without you, my Moonlight. I know it sounds cheesy but my skies would be so dark without you… Promise you won’t leave me, O-OK?

[Pause]

Good. I love you, sweetie. So, so much.

[It takes you a moment before a specific sentence jumps out at you:]

…but I always want to be with you…

[Pause]

[He smiles down at you, eyes tired but wild]

“It’s funny… I thought having some lady claiming to be a witch “bless” the lockets was so stupid. “You’ll never be lost with this blessing”, she said. I scoffed but figured “Hell, why not?”. Turns out it was the smartest move I’d made in a long time. I kept fucking up with our relationship, I saw you growing more and more distant, and I didn’t know what to do! I knew if I gave you ‘space’, you’d just leave me.”

[Pause]

“Shh, it’s OK… Don’t cry. You can admit it.”

[...?]

“You can admit you missed me… The attention I gave you. The way I loved you, even when my love hurt, it was a good hurt. The kind of hurt that had you flushed and panting, and I know you secretly loved it when I got jealous and possessive. Don’t lie. I’m tired of us lying to ourselves, baby girl.”

[Pause]

“Oh, honey… Sure it’s a little toxic but that’s OK. We can work on that. We’re broken people, but we can piece ourselves together with all those sharp little slivers. If we’re missing pieces, we’ll just merge together. Become one, and it will be so beautiful..”

[...]

[He moves so can lay at your side, flush and breathy]

“Shh, I’m just lying down with you. I know you haven’t seen anyone else this whole time… The locket let me see, at least somewhat. When I talked to the ‘witch’, she told me I’d never see you fully unless you loved me still. I knew you did… I just had to wait for you to be ready to admit it, and here we are, at long last!”

[Pause]

“You’ve been so lonely… I’m sorry I couldn’t be here sooner, Moonlight. I would have been here in a heartbeat if I could have been! So many lost days… holidays, birthdays, our anniversary… which is today, isn’t it? Is that why you smiled at my picture? You remembered how happy we were…”

[Pause]

“Don’t worry, love. I’m going to take care of you. I’m going to be at your side every moment, every single second until you never forget how much I love you again. OK?”

[Pause]

“Shh… It’s OK. I’ll take care of everything. I will make you so happy again, Moonlight. You will never doubt me, not ever.”

[Again, his voice grows a little dangerous]

“You’re going to be a good girl for me again. OK?”

[...]

“Good. Happy anniversary to the love of my life. My sweet angel. My Moonlight…”

[The End]
