Chapter 100.
Previously on Excessive...
His hand opened the door a bit, to reveal and extremely small dark room. I couldn't see a single thing as I stepped in completely. I heard a light switch on as the light as it flickered a little before finally remaining on. The room was extremely small and the walls were white but dusty. The floor was concrete and sitting at the base of the wall was a large desk filled with papers, but that's not what caught my attention.
What did, was the wall of T.V. screens littered above the desk. All of them were off and somewhat the same type. Flat screen, maybe a foot each. I heard footsteps behind me as I look at Harry who had tear marks running down his face. He brushed past me to the laptop that was on top of the desk under the papers. His hands fumbled with a few keys and entered a few passwords in before the screens were all lit up.
It took me a moment for my mind to figure out what was on the them, but sooner than later the familiar images announced themselves.
The screens showed video surveillance of my house.
My front lawn.
My front door.
My kitchen.
My living room.
The hallway.
My bedroom.
My thoughts were jumbled as the confusion of the entire situation was setting it. How long were these up? Did he know about me previous to kidnapping me? Was he stalking me? I turned around to face an extremely pale Harry. His eyes were teary and it look as if he would pass out any second now.
"W-What is-s this?" I asked quietly, my tone shaky.
His head drop in shame as his shaky weak voice rang through the room..
"My obsession"
~
"Arabella? Sweetgirl? Can you talk to me?" Luchesi's voice rang through my ears.
My stare was blank as my mouth failed to move. It's been a week and a half since Harry's secret was out. I haven't been able to sleep and when I do, I wake up with nightmares of that day. I haven't eaten much, and when I do, I usually end up throwing it all up. I haven't left the spot on the bed in Luchesi's room at Anthony's house, even as people came in and out of the house to try to get me to speak.
Thoughts of that day run through my head like a slideshow...
"Harry! Talk to me!" I screamed shaking his shoulders.
His eyes were nearly lifeless as we stood in the small room. The monitors around me still projecting images of my house as Harry had been snapped into a trance. The gun that was being pointed at his temple was lowered, but Harry refused to act upon it. His body was rigid and his breathing was heavy. I just need to him to say something, anything, to justify himself from this situation.
"Arabella, you should leave him, clearly he isn't in the right state of mind" Elliot said making my anger flare up.
"He wouldn't be like this if you didn't put his biggest insecurity on a pedestal for everyone to see! This is your fault he is like this!" I screamed, moving around Harry.
"Arabella" Seth said warningly making my anger only rise.
"You have some nerve trying to tell me what to do after what you have caused!" I screamed.
"Arabella, you're delusional! He is a stalker! A kidnapper! A creep! He is obsessed with you! He doesn't love you, he has an obsession with you! Get that through your thick skull!" Elliot screamed making me shake my head.
"There has to be a better explanation for all of this! He wouldn't do something like this!" I screamed.
"He has been watching you since you were 15! You were still a child and he had an obsession with you! He is a sick twisted perverted bästard!" Elliot screamed making me look back at Harry.
"Since I was 15?" I asked, my eyes wide.
His face was emotionless as he stared at me with void. His breathing had shallowed out. He neither said anything or gave any sign of an answer to me. My heart was still beating heavy in my chest as the seconds of silence began ticking by. I looked back at Luchesi who looked completely defeated. He stepped into the room, grabbing my arm lightly, trying to tug me away from the situation.
"Come on, lets get you out of here" he said calmly, making me immediately retaliate.
"I'm not leaving until I get answers!" I screamed making Luchesi, Seth, and Elliot shrug.
"Arabella" I hear Harry's rough voice call behind me.
"What's going on?" I asked, looking over at him.
"Go" he said quietly making my heart sink.
"What?"
"Just go" he said, not making any eye contact with me.
"But, Harry" I said quietly making his fist clench.
"Just fücking leave! Get out!" Harry screamed making me flinch as Luchesi stepped up in front of me.
"Arabella lets go" Luchesi said, grabbing my waist and pulling me from the room.
"No! Please! Harry don't do this!" I screamed as I was being dragged from the room.
His eyes were emotionless as they watched me fight to get back to him. In the midst of my fight, I saw something changed in his eyes. It was a certain glint, that brought me back to three months ago when I first came to Europe. That demotic, deranged, terrifying look that sent shivers through my body. I let my body relax as I followed Luchesi allow that image of Harry to burn into my mind.
Since that dreadful day, 11 days ago, I refuse to talk. Luchesi brought me to Anthony's Europe house where I was left to sleep in the room for Luchesi. There was a small couch that Luchesi slept on during the nights, but more often than not, the nightmares of that day woke me up in tears and screams, leaving Luchesi no choice but to cuddle me until I could at least fall back into peace.
Each day, more people came in trying to at least get a smile out of me. Even Caleb and Robert stopped by once to check up on me. But none of those people were the one that I really wanted to see. Did I want to see him? Even after he dismissed me so coldly? Of course, I did, it's just maybe I was in denial about all of this. Maybe I just needed reassurance. Maybe I just needed to boy I loved.
The door creaked open as yet another person walked in, except this time, it was a new face. Sophia. Her eyes widened as she saw me but soon a wide smile took over her features. She walked over and sat on the bed taking my looks before patting my arm.
"I'm not here to get you to talk. I'm here to get you to talk a shower, or at least a bath" she said making me look up at her.
"You don't have to say anything, but you do need a bath. I'm not sugar coating this, your hair is greasy, your face is broken out, and you smell like sweat. I'm giving you a bath" she said sternly, making me sigh but sit up.
Her face was surprised at my actions but she immediately walked over towards one of Luchesi's dressers to grab a t-shirt and sweatpants. Her hands fumbled in her purse for a pair of underwear as she grabbed my wrist and the pile of clothes. She walked out of the room and towards the bathroom. Nobody was in the hallways, which was surprising because usually everyone was lurking around trying to see if I will do anything.
She pulled me into the bathroom and sat me on the closed toilet lid. The pile of clothes was thrown down on the sink as she walked over to the tub and turned it on, testing the water for a minute before letting it run. She walked over to the sink and grabbed a new tooth brush and toothpaste before handing both to me. I looked up at her with a blank expression as she raised her eyebrow at my reaction.
"Brush your teeth, it's gross if you don't" she said making me sigh but stand up towards the mirror and brush my teeth.
She wasn't kidding when she said I looked awful. My hair was matted to my head and knotted the whole way down. My face was completely broken out, red, and oily. My eyes were tired and had black rings around them. My face was sunken in as I probably lost a little weight from not eating as much. Once I was done brushing my teeth I rinsed out my mouth before turning back towards Sophia.
Her hair was now tied up and the coat she had on was now taken off. Usually I would be so embarrassed to just strip down in front of anyone, but at this point I couldn't care less. I peeled the damp sweatshirt off my body as I followed the same with my leggings. My hands fumbled with my bra a bit before I was finally able to tug it off as well as my underwear. I let my foot step into the tub before the rest of my body slipped in along with it.
Sophia knelt down besides the bath as she grabbed the shampoo from the shelf. She squirted out an exorbitant amount before attacking my hair with the shampoo. Her fingers scratched lightly at my scalp as a relaxing feeling washed over my body. Staying in bed for eleven days straight has made me forget that the world continues to move on, even during my worst times.
"You know, he's a mess without you" Sophia said above me, making me look up at her.
"He hasn't stopped drinking, he's smoking pot again, Liam said he even saw him do a few lines" she said making me furrow my eyebrows. "Cocaine, lines of cocaine" she clarified making me nod slightly.
"He's being destructive. He smashed that entire room with a bat and when Liam went over there, there were bullet holes in almost every T.V." she said.
Her hands moved towards the shower head before turning it on and bringing it down so she could rise my hair of the shampoo. As the soap ran out of my hair, I felt as if I was a whole new person. Although I knew all too well that I certainly was not. The constant reminder of the pain he has caused lingers in my chest and is often what keeps me up through out the nights.
"Have you talked to him?" she asked knowing all too well the answer. I very slowly gave a small shake of my head as she nodded.
"Are you going back home?" she asked, making me shrug.
"You do know Christmas is in three days" she said making my head snap to look at her. Once all the soap was out of my hair, she grabbed the shampoo and began running it through my hair.
"Luchesi said that he can book you a flight home if you want to go with your family. Or else you could come to Christmas party Savage has" she said. "It's completely your choice"
I shrugged again, looking up at her to make sure she wasn't getting upset at my lack of response. Her face seemed relaxed and I was happy she didn't give me the pity look that everyone else has been giving me the last few days. Her hands finished rubbing the conditioner in my hair as she stood up and walked over to the cabinet where she grabbed a washcloth and the bar of soap.
"Take this a wash your body. Once your done rinse off and get dressed. I'm going to change the sheets on the bed" she said, standing up to wash her hands.
I sat there with the face cloth on the side of the tub deciding not to move at all. I was tired and hungry and now the water was getting cold. I saw her look over at me before calling me out.
"Arabella, if you don't wash up, I will get Luchesi" she threatened making me huff.
For the last week, that's all I've been threatened with. If you don't eat the rest of your food I will get Luchesi. If you don't drink this glass of water I will get Luchesi. If you don't change your clothes I will get Luchesi. Luchesi Luchesi Luchesi, is all I've been hearing. I understand that he and I are very close, but he can't get me to do everything. But one thing is for sure, I am not letting him see me in this bathtub.
I grabbed the washcloth and soap with a scowl as Sophia gave me sweet smile before walking out the door.
