Prompt: 011. Red
Table
Cleaning
All he could see was the red blood in Stella’s apartment and the thought wouldn’t leave his head that it was hers. It didn’t matter that he knew that most of it was from Frankie, that she got away with mostly small cuts from when she cut herself free with her razor. Standing in her apartment, ready to clean it for her arrival he could only think about what could have happened if Stella hadn’t been able to free herself. It would have been his worst nightmare come true.
Nobody knew that he had decided to clean up for Stella, at least enough that she wouldn’t have to think too much about what happened. She didn’t even have to know that it had been him. He didn’t expect her to fall into his arms, declaring her eternal love for him. He just didn’t want her to be reminded of this.
He just hoped that he’d never have to see how red her blood was ever again. The danger of losing her was too high. Shaking himself, Danny tried to dispel thoughts of Stella’s blood by trying to associate the colour with something better. Immediately he thought of the red dress she had worn sometime ago. Certainly a better image, if only it wouldn’t constantly be replaced by Stella lying in a puddle of her own blood. If only Stella wouldn’t look so good in red he could try and focus on thinking of something else. Maybe he should have visited Stella in the hospital to prove to himself that she was fine instead.
