"Harper, come down"
I didn't want to get up. I was having a good dream for once. I never had them but for once this made me want to stay asleep. I didnt want to get out of bed, but this was the 3rd time I had been told to go downstairs. Maybe they will think I'm still asleep and leave me alone. I was wrong.
"They are getting impatient you know" it was James. He looked sad, was he upset with me. I hope not. "I had a good dream though, I never have them. I just dont wanna get up" I tell him some what excited about having my first good dream. He looks so sad now, why isn't he happy. "I wish you always had good dreams" he smiled sadly as he sat down on the bed. Ok so he was sad that I didnt really have good dreams. "Why do they want me to go down" I ask sitting up. "Its your birthday" he mumbles. It's my what. No it cant be. This is confusing, how can it be. "Happy birthday sweetheart" he said bringing me from my thoughts. The shock passed and dread filled me. When I was little I always remembered my birthday, I used to foolishly point it out and I always got beat. That wasnt the worst thing, I shuddered at the memories of what the guards did on my 8th birthday. "Harper what's wrong" he asked. He eouldnt hurt me, neither would ethan and Logan, I shouldnt worry. "Nothing" I reply but he didnt believe me. "Tell me please" I couldnt not, "err just I have a bad past with birthdays, but it's ok I know you, logon or Ethan wouldnt hurt me like they did" I try reassuring him and it seems to work. "Well I wanted to give you this before you go downstairs" he said producing an envelope from his pocket. "Its more of a symbolic gesture, I do have a proper present for you which is downstairs, but I wanted to give you this for a while now but i was unsure of your response ans didnt want you to leave. I'm sorry" he explained and handed it me. I was totally confused as to what it was.
Ok short chapter ik but wanted to leave it on a mini cliff hanger. What do you think is in the envelope?
