Wicked Souls

41

A few days have gone by, I have been progressing and behaving ever since the situation happened with me and Dr Harrow. I even started to eat my meals however I was accompanied by Harrow, which I loved. I could rarely say that I'm attached...

I sat in the cafeteria, eating alone since Harrow had to deal with a patient, which meant I had to be a little independent for once. I sat near the window eating my lunch, thankfully it wasn't seafood. I looked over to the door of the cafeteria to see Harrow walking in.

Dr Harrow had just finished dealing with a particular patient and was on his way over to me after I managed to make good progress and behave quite well in recent times. He was very happy about this but didn't expect to see me all by myself, eating my lunch alone.

He quickly came over to me, noticing right away that I was indeed eating by myself.

"Why are you eating alone?" He asked me, not even bothering to sit down yet and already getting right to the point.

"Waiting for you," I said softly.

"...Waiting for me...?" He asked in a bit of surprise, he did not expect that this was what I was doing. He thought I was eating my lunch alone because I had no one to eat with... but it seems that was not the case.

"I'm afraid I have got some news for you..."

"Yeah?" I looked up at him.

"...I don't plan to have lunch today..." Dr Harrow said rather bluntly, he wasn't exactly sure how I would react now, or what I might think of this statement he just made.

"Oh, okay," I answered quite disappointed.

"Though..." He then paused slightly, before continuing to speak. "I could go and get some just so I could sit with you, I'd rather not see you eating alone..."

"I'm done anyways, so it's okay," I said as I got up.

"Are you sure...?" He asked me softly as he saw that I stood up, he thought that I would have wanted him to sit with me while I was still eating, as that was what he expected. However, to see me stand up and ready to leave so quickly was a small shock for him.

I nodded, I walked over to the trash put my food in there and walked out of the cafeteria.

Harrow watched as I threw my food away before walking out of the cafeteria, he couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. He was quite sad that I had simply thrown my food away without even bothering to finish it... he thought that I was still hungry and had to eat more.

But he also felt a bit guilty about it, as if he was making me feel like I had to eat alone due to him not being there for me... he felt like he was letting me down...

He just decided to follow me, as he didn't want to let me leave like this, he felt almost compelled to do something. He knew that I was making progress but the guilt and sadness over the fact that I had to eat my lunch alone was still lingering on him, he just wanted to correct things but he didn't know how...

Harrow followed me the entire time as I walked, he was just behind me the entire time as he didn't want to lose me and have me leave right away. He was still feeling quite guilty about the situation and he wanted to do something to fix it...

I kept walking, I was just feeling a little upset but I didn't want to say so I pretended to be okay.

Harrow was still right behind me as he saw me kept on walking, he was concerned as I didn't seem fully okay... still, he didn't know what to do about it right now...

As you kept walking, my pace slightly increased as I kept on going, Harrow was still behind me, keeping up with my slightly faster walking speed. He felt a little concerned, as I didn't seem to be fully okay, but he didn't know what to do to fix it and he felt like a jerk for letting me eat alone...

Harrow was still following me, at this point, he was unsure if I knew that he was still behind me or not, as I didn't seem to have noticed him yet, he seemed to not be right behind me but rather a little distance away. However, he was still close enough that he could reach out and touch me... if he were to do so... if I was to stop walking he would reach out to me...

Harrow was still following me, still keeping just the right distance which wouldn't let me know that he was right behind me. He didn't want to come right behind me instantly and scare me, he wanted to stay at a steady and constant distance as he kept following me. He felt that he had messed up about the entire thing with me and he felt guilty... so guilty that he was still following me and wasn't letting me stop and walk off without him.

Harrow was still following me, he was still unsure of the best course of action here. He just felt like he needed to do something, anything, to correct what he did with me. To ensure that he didn't mess up again and instead had some sort of positive effect on me after everything that had previously happened... he was still behind me, but this time he was slightly closer.

I turned around to grab something when I bumped into him.

He was suddenly startled by the fact that I bumped into him, he was still pretty close behind me but didn't expect that I would turn around to grab something from wherever I was walking towards.

His body bumped into me, but he quickly caught me so that I didn't fall. His hands held me by the wrist as they caught me and he looked at me with a soft look on his face.

"Sorry..." He spoke quickly but softly after a moment as he released my wrist and stepped back from me.
