We'll Let The Fires Just Bathe Us

I opened my eyes and the first thing I noticed was the ache in my head.
“Damn.” I whispered, bringing my hand up to it. I felt a bump but it didn’t seem too bad. I took a moment to assess where I was and I realized I was laying on the couch, then I realized Jack was sitting beside my feet.
“You wanted to know why I did it.” He said, his eyes fixed on one point on the cream colored wall. I gingerly pushed myself up. “I did it because I like to. I love making people suffer. I love the sound of their screams and the look of their writhing.” He stopped talking and looked at me with a cold expression, “I liked seeing you shrink back in fear when I hit you. I liked seeing you fall forward and hit your head on the dashboard. I love to see you suffer because of me, Alex. You look at me and you expect remorse but that will never happen. I will not apologize. I am the king of the worst part of Hell, don’t think for one second that I won’t send you there or feel an ounce of remorse for you.” He said with a cold undertone, as if he were a monster with no sense of pity or compassion…Oh wait he was…
“Jack, if you were going to send me there, you would have done it by now so why haven’t you?” I asked. His jaw clenched and I thought he was about to hit me again but then he opened his mouth.
“Because someone wants you there. They want you.” He admitted.
“Who is it?” I asked, It went without saying that we were talking about the one in the corner. He looked me straight in the eye,
“If he ever got his hands on you, I would honestly pity you.” He murmured. Jack having pity for someone seemed impossible so I shuddered to think what could possibly happen to make him feel that emotion.
“Jack, who is he.” I stated more than asked. Jack looked at the floor for a long time but I wasn’t going to let him get out of this question that easy. I was about to ask again before he looked up at me with a hint of fear in his eyes.
“He’s me.” He whispered.
