The Girl In The Red Dress

Chapter 10

I was so cold and the night was really long, I didn't sleep that night instead I cried all night long

***
It's been three days since that day, I haven't seen her since that day and my arm is purple from where she held me. As punishment for what I did Cade decided I won't get food or water

So I've been starving for 3 days now, nobody has come in here its like they totally forgot about me

Is this how I die? Forgotten and locked away in a dungeon while my corpse rotts and decomposes

I have been laying on the cold floor, everytime I try to close my eyes I see her angry face and I just cry all over again. My stomach hurts from the lack of food and water, I've even thought of drinking the toilet water but I didn't ok

They should just kill me now, I'm tired, hungry, dehydrated, cold and angry

ANDY

Cade is refusing to give her food he wants her to die. I hit Harper and it haunts me every night, I have hurt a lot of people, I have killed and I slept like a frickin baby but now I slap Harper and I can barely sleep

I hate myself for what I did to her, I haven't seen her since that day, I don't want to see what I did to her I'm afraid to go in there and look her in the eyes. She just wanted to go home I shouldn't have reacted like that but she choose the wrong day to try to escape because I was already pissed

The look she gave me, the fear in her eyes I wish I could unsee it I wish I could undo it, Cade on the other hand is proud of what I did. Sometimes I go into the basement and sit next to the door and all I hear are sobs, it breaks my heart that I did that to her. I wish I felt nothing

I convinced Cade that she doesn't need to die so soon because maybe we might need her in the future so he let me give her food, Cade never stays at home he's always off on some "business trip" with his sidekick Antonio so they're not home

I needed to apologize to Harper,i don't care if it made me seem weak I just needed to. I ordered her some tacos and Mexican pizza since she hasn't eaten for 3 days

I walked down into the basement and the guards opened the door for me and there she was curled up on the floor looking pale. She sat up and looked towards me and immediately looked scared for her life she backed up into a corner holding her arm

I took a deep breath "I brought you some food" i walked towards her and she hesitantly took the food, I walked back to the door and stood there like a creep. I gave her a thicker mattress and a very warm blanket which the guards brought in while she was still curled up in the corner she hadn't touched her food yet, I think she was waiting for me to leave

I turned on my heels to leave but decided against it instead I turned back around and looked at her in the eyes "Harper?" I said in a low voice

She didn't look up at me she just remained looking down at the floor, I walked towards her slowly "Harper I...Im really sorry"

She looked up at me shocked like she didn't expect me to say that but she didn't say anything back

"Harper I said I was sorry I really didn't mean to I was just dealing with some shit and I guess I lost control... I would never hurt you intentionally" I moved closer to her and kneeled infront of her and touched her shoulder but she flinched and I quickly retreated my hand

"please say something Harper"

Wtf is wrong with me, why am I kneeling on the the floor begging for forgiveness infront of this girl, maybe I have gotten soft

"what do you want me to say Andy" she finally spoke up in a hoarse voice

"anything" I whispered

She started shaking her head as tears flowed down her red cheeks

"please leave" she said with her voice breaking

"Harper I-"

"please I'm begging you just leave me alone" she interrupted me. I decide to give her some time do i stood up and walked out of the basement and went straight to my room and plopped on my bed taking a deep breath

I fucked up I know
