Chapter 38: Broken (Claire's POV)

I let out an agitated huff, pacing around the room. Honestly, there is probably even a camera in here. I looked around but didn't see it anywhere, maybe there isn't. Huh. 

Stupid fucks. 

I walked over to the window and tried opening it one more time but it appeared to have been sealed shut. A phone, a house phone, a room phone, give me something to work with here! I went into the bathroom, tried opening that tiny window. That did open and I wasn't too far up high but something would be broken. I grabbed a pebble out of a plant vase and tossed it. 

Something will definitely be broken. 

I walked back out into the room getting angrier by the minute. Seriously like what the hell is my life? People just come and grab me and kidnap me whenever they want or whenever they're told? 

I let out a frustrated groan, pacing around. I stopped at the desk. They have to have something here. Actually, they have to have a spare key somewhere here. It's a huge room so the house is probably gigantic. It's probably a mansion. The spare keys have to be somewhere. 

I began opening drawers, looking through some books. If there's no key here, then I need a pencil or a key card. Any key card. Both of those things can either break or jam a lock. And if I can't break it and get out, then nobody's coming in here either. Before I could grab the pencil, the door clicked. I closed the drawer and quickly sat on the bed. Theo walked in, closing the door behind him with a bag of McDonald's in his hand. He doesn't know how to cook. 

I'm really missing Leo's spaghetti right now. 

"I'm not hungry," I huffed, folding my arms across my chest. 

"Well, you need to eat." 

"Theo," I whined. 

"Please?" I don't understand this idiot. He brings me here to get to Leo but did he really want to? Or was this Seth's brilliant idea? If he doesn't want me here, helping him let me out may not be so difficult. 

I sighed in defeat and grabbed the bag from his hands. I opened it up and looked down. "Who ordered this?" 

"I did, of course. I still know your order," he chuckled. He does still know my order. 

"Thank you," I gave him a small smile. 

"You're welcome," he nodded. I ate slowly, staring at the bed. I hated this. When he wasn't here, I could say he's an asshole and was kidnapping me and then get angry. What kind of kidnappers do I keep running into? Now that he was just sitting there, making sure I was okay, I started getting sad. I started missing Leo. "You miss him," he stated. 

"Of course, I miss him," I scoffed.

He stiffened and cleared his throat, "He's broken, Claire. You can't fix him." 

"I don't want to. I never have." He stared at me, seeming confused. "I fell in love with who he is. Not who I want him to be," I shrugged. 

"How can you love someone like him?" 

"What's so different about you? I was with you for almost a year." 

"But you didn't love me. You really love him," he argued. 

"He takes care of me. He loves me. More than I do at times. Theo, it took me a long time to get him to open up. He hadn't smiled in so long, that didn't come easy." He looked away and I caught his leg bouncing against the floor. "Theo, was bringing me here your idea?"
