Happy Anniversary
It was too dark to see anything. Too cramped to feel anything. “Where am I?” Sadie said to herself. She started to feel around her, her head pounding. She placed her hand beside her and it grazed upon a cold concrete wall. The roughness of the wall reminded her of her boyfriend Richies coarse skin. She tried to stand up using the wall as support for balance. When she stood to her feet she got a head rush and stumbled. Still blinded by the darkness she tried to gain balance and move around. Soon she came to the conclusion that she was in a cramped hallway with only one way to go. She started to head down the hallway, her feet tripping over one another with one hand on the wall and the other out in front of her. After a while of fumbling forward she decided to take a break. She sat in the cold floor and thought to herself “where could I be?”. After a few minutes which had felt like years, Sadie thought of Richie. Her mind filled with the guilt of how she had lost feelings for him and how she had cheated on him. Then she thought of how worried he must be without her, oblivious of the dirty deed she had done. So, she stood back up and returned to the state of being lightheaded, and tripping down the hall. Eventually her foot hit something hard and she fell forward. She felt around, “stairs!” She exclaimed. She began to crawl up the stairs one step at a time. Slowly running out of breath, stamina, and hope. After what felt like a thousand steps, the hall she was in began to get brighter and brighter, but Sadie began to become weaker and weaker. Her arms began shaking and her legs lost all strength. But Sadie refused to give up. She fought her pain and climbed until she eventually saw daylight. Drowning in pain, Sadie pulled herself up by the edge of the wall. When her palm hit the concrete edge she yelped in pain. A sharp prickle in the middle of her palm caused red to poor out. When her eyes adjusted to the light she had realized that her palm was impaled with the thorn of a rose. Beside her left and right, she saw two lonely candles. “Are you ready for our date?” A man asked in a playful yet eerie tone. Sadie looked up, “Richie? What are you doing” She questioned. “I’m celebrating Sadie. Celebrating our anniversary. Did you forget?” He said with a sickening grin. Then he chucked, “oh that’s right my love. You were sleeping around with that disappointment Daniel, instead of being with me. Now that’s not something you do to someone you love.” Richie said, walking towards Sadie with roses in his hands. Sadie began to get scared and scanned the room. “There’s no where to run princess. It’s just you and me... how it’s supposed to be.” Richie said as he squatted down to reach her level. “Have I ever told you how I felt about cheaters my love?”Richie interrogated. “What do u want from me?” She asked. “I just want you to myself. No other man. No other human. You and me. All alone. Forever” Richie said as he dropped the roses, and ran the cold edge of a knife along Sadies left cheek. “Happy Anniversary Sadie..”
