Pleaser To Meet You

Chapter 17

Pain pierced my face. Like needles and fire my face seemed to scream silently. I gritted my teeth and felt my jaw adjust. I opened my eyes just slightly but the light was way too bright. Yet again I closed them. Yet I could hear running water. I listened closer and I think it's a sink.
What is going on? I'm genuinely confused about this. Where am I now?
I heard it shut off and then a door open. I pretend to be still knocked out. I tried my best not to make a face because of how much pain I am in. I heard footsteps head my way. I had no clue if my breathing was too quick or how I act when I am knocked out.
Dont sass me.
The footsteps stopped right in front of me and I could not help but hold my breath. Every erg in my body wants me to open my eyes and look at the shoes. I want to know who this person is and why they have to smack me so hard. Like I would have been compliant but no they have to go and mess up my face. I heard them move and to my guess it sounds like them squatting but could be wrong.
    Suddenly I felt something cold and wet on my cheek and out of instinct I flinched and jumped. That's when I not only noticed my hands tied behind me but I opened my eyes. Of course Sage was in front of me.
Literally what did we expect? Of course she would be the one.
Our eyes locked. It seemed like it lasted a little too long before she looked down. She seemed distraught but at the same time not. Like she expected this. She looked up at me through her eyelashes and said "glad you're finally awake" I blinked and she grabbed my face and continued to clean it with a rag. I winced in pain again and it did not bother her. She very calmly said "it's pathetic that you humans still feel pain, personally I believe it's worthless to have" I pulled back and she locked eyes with me again. She angrily said "what?" I looked away. She threw the rag back into the bowl of water and stood up. She towered over me for a second before walking away. As she was walking away I said "I think it pathetic that you computers are so reactive" I drew out the end and without hesitation she stopped. I continued and said "you know the ones i've been meeting recently have not only had issues with anger, guilt, and regret but it seems like there's issues with being possessive" she drops the bowl.
    She turns around and walks back to me. She bends down where our faces are inches away. She says "you know I would've left you there to die and yet I saved you and as well as that you did not even have the decency to say thank you. You know what I could kill you right now" I get even closer where our noses almost touch and says "then do it" her eyebrow twitches and clenches her jaw. She then stands up and I lean back with a smirk. I add on and say "you already messed up my face why not ruin it entirely" she rolls her eyes and responds with " oh so thats why you are in such a pissy mood"
What?! Are you joking right now? Does this one lack compassion or something?! Yeah that's why I am upset. Would you be upset too?
My jaw drops and she shrugs her shoulders and walks over to where the bowl is on the floor and picks it up. She walks into the bathroom and closes the door. I do not think she even took me out of the chair to move me. I think she just left me in the chair but honestly I have zero clue where I even was. All I have is questions.
    I heard glass break in the bathroom and it hit the floor. That's when I look around to see that we are in my apartment. Which made me even more mad because she just broke my mirror. Whatever it does not matter. The main priority is to find out why she is still holding me hostage. Really sucks when the person you try to help back stabs you.
    She walks out of the bathroom and walks over to me and points her finger in my face. She said "for your information it's not my fault I am the way I am they forced me to be like this" she went to go and say something else but when she opened her mouth she just closed it again. As if she was giving up even trying to explain. I give a simple smile and say "I know, trust me I was there long enough to figure that out. Kind of obvious. You being the roge cyborg that ran away from their cluck to go get justice?" She stood up and pushed her hair back out of her face. She shook her head no. I scoff and say "what are you not a cyborg" she looks down at me and glares at me. I say "okay so you are, then explain your side of the story because at the moment you are looking a lot like them when you have me tied up like they did." She puts her hands on her hips and walks over to the window to the left to look out of it. She takes a deep breath and says "it's not what you think I- you know i'm a lot different than them. From all the time we spent together you should know that" I just hummed a little and she turned around to look at me. I whisper "I thought I knew you" She walked over to me and lifts my head to look up at her. Her eyebrows frown and she says "i'm still the girl you found alone out in the park, there's nothing different other th-" I snap and say "oh nothing's different other than you being a robot and that your little possy is cereal killers who want me and you both dead and kidnapped me after finding me in the middle of the woods"
    She walks away with her hands above her head. She turns around and says "it's just a part of my brain that's a computer because I was dying and I wanted to live because I was in love and they could not live without me. Nights I listened to them beg the doctors to save me but they couldn't do anything. So I went out to find my own help." Her hands fell to her side and she let out a big breath.
