Shackles Of Love (Part 2)

"Why don't you ever show me your face?" Phil asked as he ate his crumpets.

It had been a week since he was stuck here. It could have been longer too but Phil had no way of knowing.

"Because I am not allowed to" Dan answered.

"Why?" Phil asked.

"I'll get caught" he answered.

"If you let me go I swear..."

"Phil we've been through this before" Dan cut him off. "I can't just let you go"

"Do you have any idea how hard it is for me?" Phil said. "To be kept here in the dark all day. I want to see the light again."

"I know that" Dan said.

"Then why are you doing this to me?"

"Because I have orders that I need to follow" Dan said. "Now finish your breakfast Phil"

"I am not hungry" Phil said pushing the plate away.

"Phil..."

"Leave me alone"

"All right" Dan said as he took the plate and left slamming the door loudly making the door jump. Once he was gone Phil began sobbing. He had no idea what to do. Was he supposed to trust Dan? Did Dan actually care about him like he claimed to or all of this was just an act to gain Phil's trust. Was he even operating on orders or all of that was just a lie? Phil didn't know and he was worried for his life and also why was Dan's 'boss' not calling his parents. His head was hurting so he lied down on the pillow and drifted off to sleep.

He was woken again by someone shaking his body.

"Phil wake up"

So he did sitting up on the mattress.

"What is it?"

"Dinner" Dan answered.

"You didn't wake me up all day?" Phil asked.

"No I figured you would be better off left alone"

"Thank you"

"You're welcome" Dan said. "Burrito?"

Phil took it taking a bite and it actually tasted good compared to all the stale shit he had eaten in the past couple of days.

They ate in silence until Dan spoke up.

"Do you trust me, Phil?"

"Huh"

"Do you trust me?"

"Well that's a ridiculous question considering you have tied me up here. So no I don't trust you"

"Even after I said that I mean no harm"

"Yes and I will not trust you because you are the one who is keeping me here" Phil said raising his voice.

"I told you it's not me."

"Well that doesn't matter because you are still the one who is doing all this" Phil said.

There was a long pause.

"What if I show my face to you?" Dan asked. "Would you trust me then?"

"You weren't so keen about that a few hours ago"

"I thought about it" Dan said.

"Why do you care about gaining my trust anyway?" Phil asked rudely.

"Be..because I don't want you to think I am a bad person and I do care about you even though you don't believe me"

"Gaining my trust would have been a lot more easier if I wasn't tied up here. So you know look into things from my perspective"
