Working for Mr. Bennington

Getting to know Piper a bit

We were at home and we went to the kitchen. Lilly was in the kitchen and she was busy making dinner. 

"Hi Lilly." 

"Hey." she smiles.

"Chester will be home late. He said not to leave him food. But put some food for him in the fridge just for in case." I said to her.

She nods and she smiles.

"You want something to drink Piper?" I turned to Piper.

She nods and she went to sit at the counter.

"I'm going to make myself some coffee. Do you want some too?"

She nods and I made us some coffee. I went to sit with her at the counter and I handed her her coffee. I sighed and looked up to her. If I want to get to know this girl. I have to do it now. While Lilly is here and we are alone, away from Chester and everyone else. She looks at me concerned.

"Are you okay Emma?"

"Yes." I gave her a fake friendly smile. "Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?"

She sighs and looks to the floor. 

"You don't like me." she says in a sad voice.

"No. I do like you Piper. I just want to get to know you better. For me to understand you."

"Nobody likes me." she mutters out.

"Piper. I just want us to get to know each other." I said taking her hand.

She pulls away and gets up.

"No one will ever love me." 

I got up and I went to her but she backs away from me.

"Leave me alone. I like you but you don't like me back." she says with tears in her eyes. 

"Piper. It's not like that." I tried to move closer to her but she backs away and she grabs a knife from the counter, one of the knives Lilly was busy with and she points it at me. I put my hands in the air. And Lilly stands back from the stove looking at Piper with shock.

"Piper. Put the knife down." 

"Stay away from me." she yells, pointing the knife at me. 

"I want to help you Piper. Let me help you."

"You don't want me. You're just pretending. Stop pretending you care about me." tears rolls down her cheek and she points the knife at me and she yells.

"Piper. Please put the knife down. Then we can talk." I said and I search for my phone in my pockets to call Chester. But she sees it and she puts the knife on her wrists.

"If you call him. I will cut myself." she yells. I put my hands back in the air and tried to walk closer, but she points the knife at me again. 

"Stop." she yells.

The intercom goes off. "A Chris Cornell is at the gate. Do you want to let him in?" 

She looks at me and I could see she was scared and confused. 

"Don't answer that." she yells.

"Piper let me help you." I said.

"I don't want your help. You don't love me. You just want to use me too." she yells and she puts the knife on her wrists again.

"Piper I'm trying to help you. If I didn't care about you. I wouldn't have got you the help you are getting."

She looks at me with tears in her eyes and she drops the knife next to her, still in her hands.
