Chapter Nineteen

Bones

Five days missing

After the man leaves, I look over at Bexley. Her face is starting to swell, her lip is bleeding, and I just sat here and let that happen to her. I sat here and let him talk about my family the way he did, and the worst part of it all? We had to let him feed us because God only knew how long before we’d get to eat again.

Swallowing one’s pride is one thing, but this… this is beyond.

“I’m sorry,” I say.

“For what?” she asks, her eyes sparkling with tears she didn’t want to shed in front of him.

“For being worthless. I didn’t do anything. I didn’t…”

“Danny, you couldn’t have. Your legs and arms are tied. I should have kept my mouth shut. This is not your fault.” Tears run down her face, mixing with blood. “God, look at you.”

I was only joking when I told her she looked bad because I know I look worse. I’m bloody and bruised. I probably look horrifying to her.

“What did he do to you? Why is this happening?” She looks down, her shoulders trembling as she cries. “Why has my whole fucking life been a shit show?” She kicks her feet, hitting the bottom of the chair continuously. “Goddammit motherfucking shit!” she cries and kicks and… crack. The chair snaps from under her and she crashes to the ground.

“Bexley!” I say.

She’s tipped over, her head against the wall, and then all of a sudden, she starts…

“Are you laughing?” I ask, confusion taking first place in all the emotions I feel.

She rolls her forehead against the wall, her body shaking as she laughs uncontrollably.

I smirk, but then she looks at me. She sniffs and says, “A person should laugh before they die.”

And none of this is funny.
