❤️Your Heart Only💔

Chapter Seventeen: Welcome Back

*Dallas 1963*

I drank from my now refilled water bottle and climbed back down into my home. I flicked on the light and sat down on my pile of sheets for a bed. I opened my bag and began to eat my lunch. A couple committing suicide decided to let me take them when they passed. These were my only rations for probably about another month but it wasn't going to last long. I heard the leaving rain tap on the streets above me. I grabbed some more empty water bottles and climbed to the surface. I placed them near the entrance and let themselves refill as much as possible. My stomach growled. I sighed, I needed more food... I walked around town, trying to find someone who would want to give themselves up. I watch a cop car drive by. I sigh. Suddenly a man walks by

Me- excuse me

He stops

Me- this might sound strange, but are you willing to possibly give your heart up for me?

Man- sorry man, I'm not gay

Me- no I mean literally, I'm hungry..

Man- you serious?

Me- sorry, please ignore me. Take care

I walk away from him. The rain had stopped. My stomach growled again, I held it tightly. I heard bickering from across the street. It was getting kind of annoying so I looked over and gasped. Klaus... Ben must have made him look over because he talked to the wall before staring at me. Suddenly, a passionate hate flooded my body. I ran from him. He began to chase me. This chasing stuff reminded me of 2019 so I knew I would be able to outrun him. But I felt so weak after not eating for so long. I slipped on slick concrete and fell over, Klaus had finally caught up to me.

Klaus- Percy...I can explain...

Me- SHUT UP!!

He looked at me with an upset expression

Me- how could you?!! I was in the hospital for two years!! Then I ended up on my own for another painful year!! I'm sick and starving.... Meanwhile you look like you've been living like a fucking king!!! What is that gold?!

Klaus- Percy..

Me- oh sorry!! I greeted my king the wrong way

I bow to him

Me- your majesty!

I stand straight

Me- do you have any idea what I've been through?! It's like I'm still in 2019, nothings changed!!!

A tear fell down his cheek

Me- did you even bother coming back? Did you even remember me? I bet Ben had to remind you that I was still here

He elbowed Ben who was standing beside him. I began to tear up

Me- I counted the days... hoping to see you walk through that door in the hospital but you never came...

Klaus- Percy...

Me- don't!!! Don't you dare!! I hate you!!

He stumbled

Me- I hate you Klaus!!!

I felt a cold yet warm presence wrap itself around my cold and aching body. It was Ben. I relaxed a bit more but I was still frustrated

Me- go smoke your marijuana and get the hell away from me!!

I pushed away the feeling of Ben and ran away from him, heading back home.
