The broken and fragile

Part 4: Step forward

Feeling someones hands land on my shoulders holding me from behind my eyes snapped open as wide as they could possibly go. Standing quickly I spun around pushing the person away from me. The strength of my push just made me fall back as my weak legs gave out. I fell on a hard floor and quickly started scootching back as fast as possible from my attacker. Runngin into a corner I was stuck. I started shaking uncontrolable. My breathing heavy as I looked up to my attacker my eyes wide and watering as I felt the tears slip down my face quickly. Dripping off my chin and dampening my clothes. 

Jared stood feet away from me next to the stool that I was previesly sitting on as it was now laying against the floor. His face held his own panic. His eyes wide staring at me and his mouth slightly gaping open. His hole body tense. 

Realizing that I was looking directly at him I quickly looked away and tried to stop my silent tears from falling. He must of snapped out of his trance as well because he started to slowly advance towards me. He knelt infront of me to close for comfort. I flinched when he reached his hand forward to touch me. 

When he saw my reaction to him he quickly stopped his advance towards me and drew back his hand. "Scarlet I need to know if you're okay" His voice was strained and sounded utterly broken as he watched me. 

My shaking increased greatly when he spoke to me. After a second of my silent panicing he went back to the island before returning. Except he sat farther from me this time making my shaking lessen but not by much. He placed a plate of food infront of me. 

Looking at it I saw it was filled with eggs, sasuage, bacon, and waffles. "I didn't know what you wanted so I just made a little of everything, I hope you like it." I couldn't eat that. I already ate yesterday and more then I usually get. He's testing me. He wants me to disobey the rules. He wants me to mess up. 

After we sat silently for a few minutes he stood back up and went to the other side of the room he sat on the floor watching me. "Now you can eat I won't bother you. If you need anything you can just wave at me." 

His arms circled his knees keeping them to his body as he rested his chin on his arms. He just sat there watching me. I kept my eyes down and away. My shaking had about stopped and was just a light shiver now. But I wouldn't let my guard down. 

We both sat for 15 minutes, according to the clock that was slightly above where he was sat. I hand't touched the food not wanting to be punished. His frown grew deeper by the minute. He let out a sigh that sounded defeated. His hole body seemed to slump as his head dropped into his arms. 

He just sat there...He's just sitting there. He's not attack, he's not tormenting me, he's not touching me. He even gave me space and offered me food. Maybe I could just eat a little. I mean I've been punished so much for so long what could he possible do? 

Taking my eyes off him and looking down at the plate of food that grew cold and studied it. I am hungry, and when was the last time I had anything this good? Reaching my hand forward  cautsiouly I couldn't keep it from shaking. Grabbing on of the sasuage links I took a small tentative bite to it. Giving a soft breath of release at the amazing taste that filled my mouth I took another bite unaware of the eyes that were now watching me as I ate. 

Finishing my sasuage I look up to grab another but froze as I saw Jared staring at me a giant smile spred across his face. It seemed like I could see all 32 teeth in his mouth with how wide his smile went. His smile dropping slightly when he saw that I froze and my body grew stiff becuase of him staring at me.

"No no no... It's fine you can eat. I'll stay here. Nothing will happen, you're fine. Please eat." I studied him for a moment waying my options. Punishment can't be that bad and eating would help me gain strength. Maybe I could end up fighting and leaving if it had to come to that. Making up my mind I started to eat more of the food on the plate and Jared watched a soft smile on his face. 

His body slumped against the wall seeming to relax at my choice. Maybe I wouldn't get punished. Maybe I wouldn't need to fight....Maybe I wouldn't need to leave.
