AN: I bless you with a loaf <3

My tears had dried up, and I just decided to lay down on the floor and stare up at the ceiling. My mind was blank, most likely in shock. I knew that if I wasn't, I would be sobbing uncontrollably still. I could feel how puffy my eyes were, the salty tears still stung my cheeks.

I don't know when someone opened the door, but now, a man dressed in a black uniform was standing over me. His mouth was moving, but  I couldn't hear what he was saying. He kneeled down and that's when I started to sit up, he helped me do so, even though I didn't need his help.

"... have you fainted? Do I need to fetch a doctor?" He asked, no emotion on his face. I pushed his hands off of me, pulling my legs in so I was sitting criss-cross applesauce.

"No, I just wanted to stare at the ceiling." I mumbled, not looking at the man. He stared at me in silence, probably wondering if I was insane. He wouldn't be wrong, I feel like I'm going to snap sooner or later.

I pushed myself up to my feet, and he stood up with me. He looked like he was ready to catch me if I was to actually faint.

I noticed the smell of food, and my eyes found a plate of warm food on my desk near the door. There was also a cup of tea and a teapot. I looked at the man.

"Who are you?" I asked, genuinely curious. He looked like he was in a soldier's uniform instead of a work uniform.

"I am Master Corporal James Kennedy, close friends with General Lee." He introduced himself, holding his hand out for me to shake, I hesitated before I shook his hand. So he was a part of the army, and then I realized what he was.

"I am tasked with the duty to make sure you don't get into any trouble, Christopher's words, not mine, I can assure you." I pulled my hand away from his first and sighed.

"So you're a glorified babysitter..." I gritted through my teeth, turning away from him with my arms crossed over my chest.

"If that's what you wish to call it, then yes." I have yet to see a semblance of emotion cross his face, he seemed to be emotionless. His blank stare was... disturbing. It was like he was analyzing my every move, which wouldn't surprise me.

I looked at his demeanor, his stance told me that he thought that I was going to make a break for it the second I got the chance. But I wouldn't, I was too tired to do so. And I don't think I would get that far to begin with.

"Do you have any other questions for me? I will try my best to answer them." He said, arms crossed behind his back.

"Can you leave?" I say, I never felt so uncomfortable around a stranger before. It feels like he's drilling holes into my body with his eyes, picking apart everything about me. He didn't react to my question, at least, not that I could see.

"Of course, I will be right outside the door. Please eat while your food is still hot." And with that, he walked over to the door and left me alone in the room. I heard the door lock from the other side, which made my heart twinge in pain.

I looked back over at the food, knowing that I wouldn't be eating any of it. Yes, I was hungry, but I felt like I would be giving in if I ate any.

The best thing I could do to pass time would be to sleep, but the bed looked uncomfortably soft. I knew that I wouldn't get any sleep on that thing.

So I took the smallest pillow I could find from the bed and threw it on the floor. I took a blanket that was folded on the comfy looking chair across from the bed and cocooned myself.

I put out all the candles that were in the room, the only light coming from the moon. I laid down on the floor, my head on the pillow. I didn't bother to take my boots off or change my clothes. My back was facing the door.
