Stockholm Syndrome

Chapter Six

Kaegan's POV

After Harry left I didn't hear him walk away. But I thought I heard him crying. That wasn't possible. At all. I was hearing things. Definitely.

I didn't eat anything. I ignored my grumbling stomach. Maybe Harry would let me go if I didn't eat. Anyways, I had already promised myself I wouldn't eat until I got out of this place.

I finally heard Harry get up and walk away. After maybe ten minutes I heard shouting. I couldn't tell what was being said, but I could tell Harry was the one screaming. I just didn't know who he would be yelling at. I didn't hear anybody else's voice. I thought about it for a minute but couldn't come up with any form of logical explanation other than he was on the phone.

The shouting eventually stopped and I swore I heard crying again. Impossible. I was going crazy. I needed some serious sleep. I listened for probably five minutes longer. I still couldn't come up with anything other than crying to explain the sound. And honestly, I was too tired to care. I laid my head on the pillow and almost immediately fell asleep.

I woke up to the sound of someone unlocking the door. I bolted upright scared of who it was and what they wanted.

Harry walked into the room, holding a plate of what seemed to be waffles, along with a glass of what I guessed to be orange juice. He locked the door behind him.

He brought the food over to me and sat down beside me on the bed.

"I made you some breakfast. Will you please eat some of it?" he asked.

"No," was all I said. I eyed him cautiously, waiting for him to try something on me.

"Please eat. You can't just starve yourself to death. I'd never be able to forgive myself," Harry said. His voice sounded hurt. And his eyes looked puffy, like he had been crying recently.

"And yet you can forgive yourself for KIDNAPPING ME!?" I half screamed at him.

"If you're going to yell, I'm just gonna leave," he answered. I was almost positive I saw a tear in his eye, but he quickly brushed it away.

I was suddenly concerned. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Just eat, ok?" Harry answered back almost robotically.

"What happened to the Harry that kidnapped me? The one who wouldn't leave me alone?"

"He's not here."

"Where'd he go?"

"Not here."

"Will you please tell me what's wrong?"

"No. Now just eat your breakfast so I can leave."

"I'm not eating till you tell me what happened last night. I heard you yelling at someone."

"It was nothing."

"It had to have been something."

"I swear it was nothing, okay!" he raised his voice.

"Ok, ok. But I'm not eating."

"Kaegan, please eat! I love you and I don't want to see you starve. I made these waffles just for you. They have chocolate chips in them." Harry tried to smile but it just didn't work.

"That does sound good. And I am really hungry," I said, considering eating just a few bites and drinking the orange juice. Just enough to keep me alive. And maybe it would cheer Harry up.

"Here, you don't have to eat it all. Just a few bites," he said, handing me the plate.

I took a timid bite of one of the waffles. Holy crap was he a good cook! Those waffles were the best thing I had ever tasted! I ended up eating them all.

"Were they any good?" he asked after I had finished.

"Absolutely the best thing I have ever tasted!!" I enthused. A smile lit up his face. I smiled back. I liked his dimply smile. It made my heart flutter knowing I caused that gorgeous boy to smile.

I quickly shook my head free of those thoughts. What the fudge in the fridge was I thinking!

"Orange juice?" Harry offered, handing me the glass.

"Yeah, sure," I answered, taking a drink of the orange juice. It tasted so fresh!

"You like it?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It tastes really fresh," I smiled.

"I just squeezed it this morning. For you," he said.

He reached over and put an arm around my shoulder. This time I didn't push it away. I just smiled at him.
