Dolly~ Slappy x Annabelle

Part 4

A Slave.

I couldn't erase the feeling of emptiness and anger out of my mind as those words repeated themselves over and over until they got stuck. I felt my eyes turn a greenish color and my face felt as if it were about to explode. 

"Listen, you don't need to worry. I'm really okay, Slappy. I love that you care about me-" She tried.

"Of course I care about you!" I shot. "I wake up every morning thinking about you and caring about you! I wish you never were sad or upset! I wish the world loved you as much as I do!" 

I caught my tears before they fell down my cheeks. But it was too late. I felt the hot tears roll down my wooden red cheeks before I could catch them.

"Slappy, I-"

"And I wish that you knew who wrote those love letters to you all those years ago because he would've loved you so much more than Red does! He would treat you like a princess! He would give you anything and everything you wanted and he would take anywhere you wanted to go!" I wailed. 

"You knew about the love letters?" She asked, careful not to upset me.

Yes! Yes! I wanted so much to shout that I wrote them and that I was the one with a crush on her! I wanted to shout it from the rooftops,  Annabelle, I love you! I wanted to scream it until my throat was bleeding. 

"All I know is that whoever wrote them belongs with you and not Red," I said. "Because he cares about you more than that idiot ever will!"

She paused again and I felt the tears making my face extremely wet. My face felt drenched in them.

I sighed. "Listen, I know you love him, and you want to be with him, but he's gonna break your heart. And when he does, I'm gonna be here and that man who wrote those letters will be here."

"Slappy, you-"

"I gotta go. I'll talk to you sometime later," I blubbered, wiping tears away from my face. She sighed.

"I-"

Before she could finish, however, I hung up. I threw the phone across the room and buried my head in my hands. 

I'm such an idiot. She loves Red and will always love him. I'm selfish and I don't deserve her. I don't deserve to be here, and I belong back inside the books like Papa said. 

Annabelle loved Red and I'm an idiot to have ever thought I even had a slight chance with her!
