Uncertainty

Blue

"What the fuck is this Gyles?'' I ask him, completely confused with this situation. I came to his room to try and convince him to come back to the guest quarters because I didn't want him alone and this is what I find.

He drops the book and it falls to the ground with a loud thud. 

"I don't know how this got here, I swear,'' he is shaking uncontrollably right here. His face is white, almost like he just saw a ghost. I've seen him scared before but never like this.

I walk over to him and grab his hands in mine. I want to be upset because there is a part of me that is wary of this situation. He was so adamant about staying alone tonight. 

Was this the reason?

"Why is this here, how did it get here?'' 

Tears start to fall from his face as I try to soften his trembles. He looks genuinely terrified right now.
