Top Secret

Chapter 6

My head is a very dark place

G A R R O T H

My head hung low and my hair hung loosly in front of my face. I've been tied to this chair for a week. No food. No water. No light. No human contact.

The door squeaked open but I decided not to look, scared of who it could be.

"You...."

The voice was just above a whisper. But I could easily put a face to the tone.

"YOU BROKE HER HEART"

He screamed so loud, I could feel him nearing me.

"LOOK IN MY EYES WHEN I TALK TO YOU!"

Laurence grabbed my chin forcefully and made me look in his hate filled eyes. Although, it was hard to see due to my own tears that have been coming and going all week.

"YOU DONT DESERVE TO FEEL UPSET"

He pushed me and moved to the back of me. He started undoing everything. He lifted me out of the chair by my collar and threw me to the ground.

"Pathetic" he scoffed.

He kicked me in the side and I rolled over.

"SHE HAS SHED TOO MANY TEARS OVER YOU, GONE THROUGH SO MUCH PAIN AND SUFFERING!" He grabbed me by my shirt and pinned me to a wall. He punched me in the eye causing it to swell almost automatically. "DEATH IS TOO GOOD FOR YOU, I WILL MAKE YOU FEEL HER HEARTBREAK"

"LAURENCE"

We both turned to see Aphmau in the doorway.

"Aph-"

"I don't want to hear it. Leave him!" Laurence let me drop to the ground limp. "We have a mission" she grumbled and glared at me. And with that, I was left to be half broken on the ground.

Eventually I was moved back to my chair. I knew I shouldn't have left.

I'm such an idiot.

A P H M A U

I walked down the street not caring about Laurence and how he was struggling to keep up.

"Aphmau...we need...to talk...."

I sighed and stopped turning on the heel of my boots.

"Ok. What?"

"I'm sorry, for overreacting about Garroth. I shouldn't have gone to such extremes."

"Whatever, its fine. Now come on, we need to find-"

"Aphmau"

"What?"

"You took the mission of finding a lost puppy. You're hurt, I'll find the dog, you go back to the agency and clear your head. You need it."

I took a deep breath and nodded.

"Thank you Laurence" I hugged him and started to head back. As I walked down the hallway to my room, I stopped at a doorway....Garroths old room.

I walked through the doors and slowly entered the room. I nervously clasped my hands together while inhaling sharply.

I hadn't really been in here since he left

I wandered over to his desk and saw an envelope. Written on the back in neat writing it said my name. Seeing as how it was addressed to me, I decided to open it and read it.

Dear Aphmau,
I'm writing this to let you know I'm leaving. I'm so tired of everything, I'm not allowed to leave, and you and Laurence seem to be right for eachother. Please let me explain why I'm doing this.
It's not just selfish actions although it may seem like it. I want you to be with Laurence. A man like me would be a terrible match for an amazing woman like you. So I'm leaving so I won't get in the way of you and Laurence. I love you Aphmau, more than words can explain. I fell for you the night we met. But we aren't meant to be. As much as I love you, I can't bare to think everything I's screw up with you.
My only wish is you don't hate me when I leave, I don't think I could live with myself. So with a heavy heart I will leave you, my love, tonight. I have, and always will, love you Aphmau.

Yours truly,
Garroth Ro'Meave

My teeth grinded as I held back the tears that wee forming in my eyes.

"Lies.." I mumbled while crumpling up the letter. "ALL LIES!" I yelled throwing the paper ball across the room. I marched down to where Garroth was being held. I stormed through the door and slapped his face.

"HOW DARE YOU!!!" I punched his head causing it to teeter, "I CANT BELIEVE I BELIEVED ALL OF YOUR LIES!" I kicked his shoulder and he grimaced in pain, "YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME, BUT DIDNT STAY TO FIGHT FOR ME?!"

Garroth grabbed my swinging arm and stood up. We untied him, thinking he was too weak. He was standing for the first time in a week. He lifted his head and looked me in the eyes.

"I never lied about loving you" he all but whispered. He dropped my wrist and gingerly placed his hands on my shoulders. He gently pulled me closer to him and he leaned closer. He placed his lips over mine and I, for some reason, kissed him. Our lips moved in sync as his hands went down to my waist. We pulled apart and Garroth kept his eyes set on mine.

"I love you Aphmau"

I balled my fists and punched his chest. He grabbed it and fell back into his chair.

"Not. Another. Lie." I strapped him back into the chair and grabbed the remote from my tool belt. "IM SICK OF THE LIES" I turned the switch and he let out a scream of pain.

I watched him suffer.

I watched him hurt as much as he hurt me.

I watched him.

I just watched.
