"Possession's Fury"

Part 5

As Judd's anger continued to escalate, his words began to take on a more sinister tone, and Andrew felt a chill run down his spine. "You think you can just waltz in here and steal him away from me?" Judd spat, his eyes fixed intently on Nick. "You think you can just take Andrew from me?" The pool fell silent, with everyone staring at Judd in shock. Andrew's eyes widened as he realized what Judd was saying. It wasn't just that Judd was angry - it was that he was possessive. He had a twisted sense of ownership over Andrew, and he would do anything to keep him. Mr. and Mrs. Birch exchanged worried glances, their faces pale. Leah looked like she was about to cry, while Nick clung to the side of the pool, his eyes wide with fear. "Judd, that's not what we're doing," Mr. Birch said, trying to reason with him. "We're just trying to have a nice afternoon together. We're not trying to take Andrew away from you." But Judd just laughed, a cold, menacing sound. "You think you can just take him away from me? You think you can just waltz in here and steal him? He's mine," Judd spat, his eyes blazing with fury. "Andrew is mine, and I won't let anyone take him from me." Andrew felt a wave of horror wash over him. He had never seen Judd like this before, and he didn't know how to react. He looked at Nick, who was staring at him with a mixture of fear and concern. "Judd, stop," Andrew said, trying to keep his voice calm. "This isn't right. I'm not yours. I'm a person, and I have my own feelings and my own life." But Judd just sneered at him. "You're mine," he repeated, his voice cold and menacing. "And I'll do anything to keep you." As Judd took a step closer to the pool, Andrew realized that they were all in grave danger. He didn't know what Judd was capable of, but he knew that they needed to get away from him, and fast. "Judd, back off," Mr. Birch said, his voice firm. "You're scaring everyone, and you're not going to hurt Andrew. He's safe here with us." But Judd just laughed again, a cold, mirthless sound. "You think you can protect him from me?" he spat. "You think you can keep him safe? I'll show you what I'm capable of. I'll show you what I'll do to keep him." As Judd's words hung in the air, Andrew felt a sense of dread wash over him. He knew that they were in grave danger, and he didn't know how they were going to get out of this situation alive.
