The Unspoken

Chapter 2

It was almost 6 am on a Monday. I was awaken by a Clover man who literally banged a cup against the bars.

"GET UP NOW!" he screams at me. I slowly open my eyes and almost growl at him. "Do I finally get bathe today?" He nods and I get up with aches covering my whole body. He opens the gate with a long squeak. I waddle out of my room and walk down the long dark hallway. He opens another gate with another long squeak. I walk in the room and find another Clover man standing there. I took off my horrible, disgusting dress and sit down in the middle of the floor. It was awful. The smell, the coldness on my bare butt. I wanted to get clean but I hated how you have to strip for these perverts and then they clean you. You don't clean yourself down here. There were two Clover men in the room with me. One who looked about 40 and one who looked like he was in his early 20s. The older man kneels down in front of me and glares at me for the longest time. The perv was probably staring at my boobs. But I didn't know since I refused to look at him.

"Max, give me that sponge over there." The younger man nods and hands him a sponge. I look up at him and almost wanted to smile for the first time in 3 years. He had brown hair that was spiked up. Kinda like Justin Bieber's hair. He also had beautiful brown eyes and a face that looked like an angel carved it. I shake my head and focus on the task at hand. The older man spreads my legs apart so he can you know, clean down there. I close my eyes and wince in pain. I hated this part the most. It took him at least 10 minutes. It seriously shouldn't have taken that long. Next they cleaned my front body. I stood up and they scrubbed away. Finally they scrubbed my back. I felt Max's hands run across my back. I shiver at his touch. I can't say I had a problem with him bathing me. That was it for the body. Next, they put shampoo and conditioner in my hair. This took them at least 15 minutes since I haven't had a good scrubbing like this in a year at least. Finally, I'm released for the bathing prison. I slip on a fresh dress and walk out. I turn around to look at Max and almost smile again, but I force myself not to. I slowly waddle back to my room. I lay down on the hard floor and begin to fall asleep.

I was awaken by someone whispering my name. "Candi. Candi Williams!" (That's my name by the way. Should've introduced that in the beginning.) Anyways, I open my eyes to find Max smiling through the bars at me. I smile for the first time in 3 years.

"What are you doing here? And how do you know my name?" He laughs a little and smiles again. "I'm forced to know everyone's names down here. And I brought you something." He unlocks the gate and gives me a glass of milk and a sandwich. My eyes widen at the sight of that kind of food.

"Oh my god. Max I can't accept this." I push the plate away from me but he pushes it back towards me.

"Sure you can. Just eat it quick. Don't let the other Clovers see that I gave that to you okay?" He closes the gate and leaves without another word.
