Compulsive (Robert Downey, Jr.)

Who are you?

I walked out of the bar and finally headed to my car. I couldn’t feel better.

Ahh! The night was amazing.

That was when I started thinking too much.

Emma.

Wait.

I don’t remember telling him my name!

In fact, I don’t even know his!

Who is this guy?!

“AAAAH!”

It all happened to quickly, I had only drove for a few meters. I guess I was completely lost in my thoughts, but there was no way I saw that person walking in the middle of the road.

It was in a fraction of a second.

I heard the screaming and everything went silent just a second later.

Blood could be seen flooding down my front glass.

The body of the person in front of the car.

My heart stopped.

My world just fell apart.

I… I had just hit a person with my car.

Before I could even react, I noticed my door opening and that same guy appearing out of nowhere.

“Come out, quickly” He said

“I-I… what…”

“Shhh, it’s ok. Not your fault. She was drunk”

“W-Was?”

He looked at me, sadly.

“No. NO!”

Had I just killed a person?

“I was watching you leaving. I kinda… saw it” He said

The tears flooded down my eyes.

People starting to appear out of nowhere and, in a matter of minutes, the police and the ambulance

He grabbed me softly, looking serious “Let me talk, ok? Be quiet”

“I… What?”

“Just do as I say”

“SHE’S DEAD!” A woman yelled

“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!”

“DON’T YOU WATCH WHERE YOU DRIVE?!”

It was like everyone wanted to kill me for what I have just done.

Everything that was in my mind had just vanished.

I didn’t feel free, much less relaxed.

The police approached and the guy sadly looked at me “Be quiet” he whispered

“What happened here?” The policemen asked

The guy next to me immediately spoke “I… I’m so sorry, officer. I… swear I saw now one. I never meant to hit her!” He said, nervous, acting scared.

My eyes widened “W-W….”

“I don’t know what happened” he interrupted me, looking at the officer

“Well” he said, approaching him “The girl is dead. I’m going to have to arrest you” he said

He looked down, then at me

“No… NO!” I yelled, but he interrupted me again

“It’s ok, it’s ok. Honey, go home…” everyone was listening to us now. Was he just pretending to be my boyfriend? “Just go home…”

“She will need to…”

“She is too frightened, officer.” The guy looked back at the policeman

He took a deep breath “I’ll get someone to give her a ride home. You…” he showed us his handcuffs “will have to come with me”

I looked at him as another policeman took me out of there.

He smiled at me, assuring me everything was alright.

I couldn't even move, at the moment, I was too paralyzed in my own panic.

All I could do was cry.

I don’t even know who this guy is.

I don’t even know his name yet!

And he was getting arrested for something I did. It was an accident, yet, I was the one killing that girl.

Not him.

Why is he even doing this?
