I wake up to the sound of TV, didn't Chloe turning off before going to bed? I stood up and was going downstairs while rubbing my eyes, there is no light on downstairs, except the light coming up from the TV Chloe sat on the couch watching TV.
Hi, I say she turns to look at me.
Hi, she says too then I sit on the couch close to her.
Couldn't sleep? I asked her you says yes.
Why not, is there something wrong with the room or the bed? She shakes her head.
You can tell me you know, maybe I can help you? She shakes her head again, I wish she can just tell me little about what going with her, or even her mind.
I do not know anything about her about her likes and dislike nothing, what are past was like it's like she's hiding. Even though she knows she's safe and sound here she's still closed off.
I figured she have not been on drugs because if he has been she wouldn't have looked like this, if she had been using she would have had some sort of attitude. Being more like rude or something, but he has been quiet like really quiet.
I wish she could step out of her cage like the thing that keeps her trapped, I know it might be late for wanting to be friends with her, but I can at least try. The bruise she has on her cheek hasn't completely healed, it makes me feel awful when I look at her I don't know who did it or what happened to her.
But I'm pretty sure she doesn't deserve it because she doesn't look like someone that can hurt even a fly or make you angry. She's someone that always hides in the shadow, So no one can actually see her.
What are you watching? I ask, she turns to look at me but I can barely see her. But the light from the TV makes me to see her blue clear eyes, she always had that tired look in her eyes. I'm starting to get worried about her, I don't know if Dad knows that she is up all night watching TV.
It's a movie, game of thrones she turns back to the TV.
Oh yeah, that's a popular one I've not seen any of the episodes, but I've heard about students talking about it in school. She has a smile on her face and it makes me smile as well.
Is this your favorite movie? I ask, I was curious to know things about her. She's so mysterious I barely know anything about her, she's like a crime scene that is waiting to be explored. And I am really I'm ready to look for the answers I need.
Not really, but one of them she answers.
What is your favorite movie? I ask, and look at her again. She closed her eyes with a thoughtful look in her face.
I really like the series The punisher, the actor did a great job. After everything he has gone through he still had to fight for himself.
I love that you fought for freedom for himself even after everything he has gone through, I wish someone would have done that for me. Chloe looks hurt and lost while talking to me, I don't know if she knows that she's still talking to me or she has gone into her own mind.
You are free now, I look at her she smiled at me with her beautiful smile.
It's a little too late, she answers. I now know that something bad might have happened to her. And it just hurts to know, even though I don't know the details of what happened to her.
Am so sorry, I could feel a lump in my throat she's snorts.
There is no need to apologize it is my fault anyway is not about you, Her words hit me hard. Whatever happened to her is not her fault ever.
No, I say I should looks at me confused.
Don't say that don't blame yourself, I know you enough to know that you did not deserve this pain and everything that happened to you. I can see that he is uncomfortable because her hand is closed an she is clenching her teeth together, making her jaw move and her eyes on the couch.
I do not know what you have been through or what kind of life you have lived, but I'm sure as hell that you didn't deserve any of it. Still she looks uncomfortable she doesn't say anything, but she turns back to the movie, we both continue looking at the TV in silence.
I yawn and rub my eyes after sometime, the thought of her opening up a little to me felt good, but I do not like that she was judging and blaming herself for what happened. She may not see it but she does not deserve any pain, no one does. I lean on the couch and close my eyes my eyes, hurt I can't keep them open anymore. So I closed my eyes the sound of the TV making me fall asleep quickly.
