Shadow (discontinued)

six.

I awake in a bed. Wait.. I'm in a bed. The comforters are so soft on my skin. I haven't been in a bed in weeks.

It's foreign now but it feels oso good.

I realize I'm in the bed alone. Where's Lee ?

I try and get up and pain shoots up my thigh. Its tolerable so I stand all the way up.

I can walk now but with a limp. I walk over to the nightstand and I peep a note.

Dear Yazmine,

I'm off to work. I will be home shortly after you wake. I estimate your wake up time should be about 5:30.

I look around for a clock and see it's 5:29. What the hell...

I cooked also. You know I can't cook but I tried. But hey the chicken is throughly cooked. I made sure it was.  If you happen to get bored you can watch tv in my room. Do NOT eat in my room.

Stay at the table and wash your dishes after you eat. Don't try and run away Cole. When I find you you'll never be able to walk again.

P.S. - Ignore the creaking.

I closed the letter and sat back on the bed. What creaking ?

I decide not to think about it.

I have the whole house to myself. I could get away so fast and never look back.

But what if she's waiting for me? Watching me ? I just don't know if I should. I'm too young to die..

I'm not going to run. I'm going to snoop and figure out where the fuck I'm at first.

This bitch thinks she can kidnap and hold me hostage because she's in love.

I'm in love with Rihanna but do you see me kidnapping her fine ass ?

I think tf not. I ain't got time to spend 20 years in jail. Uh uh.

I think I'll just stay. I wobble down the stairs and I smell the chicken she cooked. It smells so good.

I walk to the kitchen and open the oven and there's italian green beans , baked chicken and Caribbean rice .

Aww she did this for me ?

She's my kidnaper ain't no aww. Hell to the no. But thanks.

I make myself a plate and the chicken is surprisingly good. Moist. Juicy.

Sounds like something I want right now...

I shake myself from my thoughts and continue eating.

I finish my food and wash my dishes then tidy up the kitchen.

Since she's not here I really have a chance to observe the house.

The windows are barred and it's no direct sunlight in the house. Just hella lights.

I walk out the kitchen and limp through the foyer.

I realize I can't hear anything. I can't even hear the birds chirping.

She must have the house soundproofed.

How in the Julius fuck do you soundproof a HOUSE ?

I am confusion !

I walk back by the kitchen and I hear a creak upstairs.

Is this what Lee was talking about ?

It's like the creak you hear in the scary movies and the white girl always goes to investigate.
