Marshall Fletcher. Where the hell do I know that name from?

"Oh come on Thea, you're not that stupid." He scoffs and I grip onto the door handle firmly, when the penny suddenly drops.

Holy shit.

Marshall Fletcher is the man who abused my mom. He was her fiancé.

"How is that possible?" I ask, my voice barely even audible.

My eyes flick down and widen when I spot a white powered substance over the centre console. Has he taken cocaine?

"I was one when he died." He says and my lips part, my hands starting to shake as I continue trying to pull on the handle. "Your father took mine from me, so I'm returning the favour."

All the blood feels as though it's drained from my body as my jaw drops. "What?" I gasp as I catch his eyes flicking towards the back of the car. I follow them and instantly regret it.

He has a shovel on the backseat.

I feel like I can't breathe. This cannot be happening right now. This is all just a dream.. a nightmare even.

"A life for a life, it's only fair right?" He mutters and suddenly hear the most immense ringing in my ears. It feels as though everything is spinning and there's nothing I can do to stop it.

I can physically feel my palms becoming clammy and the bile rising in the back of my throat.

"Your father died because of an altercation in prison, my dad had nothing to do with it." I snap, feeling the urge to protect my parents.

"Spencer is a compulsive liar who only wanted my father's money." He seethes and I widen my eyes in shock at his completely ludicrous allegations.

"Who the fuck told you that?" I snap but he doesn't answer. "Why did you become my friend? Was this all just some sick game to you or something?"

"That was the plan all along Thea. I moved here because I spent years following you. Your parents, your family. Everyone." He replies and I can almost hear my pulse through my ears, it's that loud. "Once I saw an opportunity to attend the party I knew you were going to, I took my chance and bumped into you intentionally."

A sick feeling beings to build in my stomach and I feel as though I'm going to pass out.

"Your dad sexually assaulted my mom and abused her for years!" I snap and his jaw clenches, his eyes narrowing at my statement.

"There's no proof of that!" He yells, slamming his hand down against the steering wheel and making me jump.

"Let me out of the car Ricky." I warn and he leans forward, reaching into the backseat for the shovel and I panic. I hit him across the head as hard as I physically can and his body falls limp.
