Stay Close

Tension

I guess the man didn't hear my little breakdown, but again, not complaining. I walked back to my room and checked on the phone. Once I saw it was still there, I hopped back up and laid on the bed. What time was it? We just had breakfast so it was probably like 12, right? It wasn't that important.
I sat there twiddling my thumbs, forcing myself to not get the phone to entertain myself. I thought about going over to Ethan's room, because what was he doing? I wondered if the man gave him some other special things.
An hour passed and I couldn't handle it. I stood up and walked over to Ethan's. I had no idea where the man was. I sat down on his bed because he was now in the rolling chair.
"Hey." I started.
"Hey."
There was totally tension here. I could tell by the way he didn't make eye contact, and when he did it was quick, but awkward. I wanted to hug him, but I didn't. I can't show I'm weak or else something bad will happen. I have no idea what that something is, but I know it will happen.
"How did the breakfast sit in ya?"
"Fine. It was good, you should eat some."
Excuse me? Did he really... I just stared at him with an unsure face. He knows not to try to get me to eat things against my beliefs.
"Um, Ethan. I kinda don't eat meat if you didn't know this."
"I know, but you can't live like that forever. It's unhealthy, which is why you're so skinny. You look anorexic."
"Actually, I'm not unhealt... You know what? I'm not even going to argue with you. Shut the hell up."
"Just stating the facts." He mocked.
"Well here's a fact, this dude's brainwashing you. I don't even know how, but figure it out, or I'll leave you here when I escape."
He stared at me, and I did it back. I regret telling him I'm going to escape, he'll tell the man for all I know. What is going on though? This is very odd. I stormed out of the room.
