17 Entry Seventeen

Oct 22, 2015

It hurts. I haven’t had an injury for a while now. I guess it’s because Gared is spoiling me. I’ve forgotten how much a bruise could hurt me.

Mr. and Mrs. Taylor visited us today. It seems like they are having problems with the company and they wanted to ask Gared’s family for help. Gared wasn't home and his parents were still in the office. I was the only one home, aside from the maids.

It seems like Mr. and Mrs. Taylor had visited the Johnsons to ask for help before they came to the house, and were rejected. Mr. Taylor was furious at how useless I was for not being able to get the love of Gared’s parents. They said that if only I was better then the Johnsons wouldn’t have declined their request.

I couldn’t understand why the Johnsons didn’t help. I don’t remember doing anything to make them angry. I suddenly thought of how Mr. and Mrs. Taylor usually got angry with me as well. Maybe I did something similar to the Johnsons without knowing. I wanted to ask Gared about what I could have done to anger them.

Before my thoughts wandered any further I saw something coming at me, I tried to dodge it and I felt a sudden pain around my stomach. Mr. Taylor had punished me for angering the Johnsons. I think the punishment would have continued as well if Gared had not come home.

I would have been fine with receiving the bruises though, I did do something bad. I can’t believe I was doing it again, angering such nice people without knowing. I really should have been punished more.

Gared said I shouldn’t think like that as I had done nothing wrong. I didn’t tell him but I still feel like I deserve more than what Mr. Taylor did. The bruising on my stomach should be enough reminder for now though. I should avoid angering the Johnsons from now on.

I hope Gared won’t be mad at me once he finds out that I angered his parents unknowingly.
