Stockholm syndrom

day 7

He gets in by banging the door waking me up, I know he had a bad day by the expression on his face. His jaw is so tighten that he could loose his teeth at any moment. I take the risk of asking him what's wrong. He gets mad instantly and throw my plate at the wall.

- Stop pretending you care ! Don't you think I haven't been noticing you're little game. You think you can make me weak.

- I didn't mean to-

- And why the hell has there been so many search parties for you? Your parents never cared before and now they've hired Private investigators and spent so much to get you back. There's not one tree without a poster of your face in town. Took them 3 days to notice, but they sure ain't resting now.

He looks worried, he lets himself fall on the chair behind him and put his head between his shaky hands.

-They'll never look into you.

I say really nervous he's gonna snap at me for it.

-What?

He says .

-As far as my parents know we're still friends.

- What about the others at school, I'm the one with the most motives.

- I don't think they're willing to get the truth out about how horrible we've been to you.

He nod slightly, he look a little bit reassured. I start relaxing a little bit.

- But Harry , we both know you're not a killer, so where's the end of it ? You can't keep me here forever.

He starts smiling viciously. My whole body starts shaking awaiting his response.

- Believe me , you have no idea what I am capable of , what you made me. You should be thanking me ,what's really out there for you ? Fake friends ? An unloving family ? Its not like anyone is really going to miss you.

- I am loved.

-No! You made sure the only person who did now wants to fucking kill you.

He says in a much louder tone.

- You know what ? You're right,okay ? I pushed you away and hurt you in every possible way. I was scared ,because maybe you were the only person who did love me , and I killed it before you could hurt me. Couldn't bear to one day get rejected by you so I did it first and I'm sorry I don't know what more you want from me , I don't have a fucking time machine !

He takes a step back to process what I just said , his eyes turn to blank. I think I got him back to earth for a second when his face turns to cold again.

- I don't want anything from you. I just want you to hurt like I did.

A tear fall down my face , I've finally come to realize that the only person that ever did love me now despise me so much. And I led him to.

- You know more than anyone that I am already hurting. You spent a lifetime trying to fix it and look where we're at now.

He still seems a little shaken by all this ,cause he leaves without adding anything. He even forgot the lock.

FLASHBACK

-I can't do it .

-why not ,that's our tickets to the senior parties and we hate him anyway.

- I don't care, I won't.

I say closing my locker.

-I'll go over there right now to tell them it's off . He doesn't deserve this no one does.

Danielle stops me without even looking at me, takes her phone out and starts texting .

- What the hell are you doing?

- No,need to go over there I just told them ,thought I'd save us the in person embarrassment.

She says as she's putting her phone back in her pocket.
