Ch. 2- Days Forgotten

[Bajan's P.O.V.]

My mind wandered as I trecked through the town. It almost seemed deserted besides the townsfolk gathered around fancy restaurants. I sighed as I glanced at my phone and wallet. I did not have much but it was enough for a bite. I sighed and opened my phone.

Jerome's number was right on screen. I could simply hit the little green phone symbol and call him. It was not that simple though. What would he say? I have been missing a whole week with no uploads to YouTube to even let them know I was alive! What would happen if Jerome saw me as I am now? Would he hate my new accessories?

I tapped the screen and saw his goofy smile next to mine. My face and hair looked so normal. I was average with muscles and was two or three inches shorter then I am now. My face did not have three black lines on it like it does now. My eyes were not slits when I walked in the dark. Black ears did not poke off my head as they do now. A tail did not have to make me pull down my shirt every five minutes. Claws did not grow were my nails are when I got mad and mad a tiger claw look. Fangs did not threaten to cut my lips everytime i opened my mouth.

What would Jerome think?

My only thought coursing through my mind as I walked into a simple fast food place. I ordered something, I do not really remember what it was. People were distracting me as I stood to the side. Most stared at me or would pull their children away.

I heard my number and grabbed the food, leaving the front. I sat near the back and munched silently on my greasy food. I tried not to listen to the snarky remarks the guys made as they glanced my way several times.

My ears went back as I finished my burger and ate a few fries. My tail layed beside me the tip occasionally twitch on my leg. It felt weird to have new extensions. I have to learn to control them or they will control me. I think.

I sighed and pulled on my checkered hoodie together more. I had managed to find my stuff and achieve most all of it before more security guards showed up.

I placed my face into my palms and shook it lightly. I am making a complete fool of myself. Sitting at a popular fast food joint with a strange man with cat ears sitting in the far back corner. It is not like anyone will notice me for being BajanCanadian. Only a freak.

Jerome would think the same. He would not remember me as his main Benj. No. I would be a monster in his eyes.

Deserting him when he was going through hard times then show up as a freak. He would possibly hace committed suicide if I had not been there.

"Hello?" I jumped at the noise and looked up. My ears fell back as I saw a young girl about thirteen.

She sat down and looked at me with a smile. A few people were starring at her with worried looks.

"H-" my voice sounded bad so I stopped and cleared my throat.

"H-hey." I said after successfully

(It deleted from here down... MURDER!!!)

"You're Bajan Canadian right?" My ears perked upwards as I heard her.

"Y-yeah, how did you know? I mran I look so different." I said gesturing to me ears and face. She giggled and looked at me. Her smile was bright and loving.

"I watch your videos a lot." She says in a 'you-should-have-known' tone. She still keeps her smile and places her chin into her palm.

"Oh, shoulda fingured." I say slightly embarrassed. She giggles again.

"Anyway, what happened?" She says pointing to my ears with her free hand. I eat a cold fry and my ears go down.

"I was Benjnapped." (I know, so creative!) I said in a sad tone.

"Really?" She asks surprised.

"Why do you seem so surprised?" I wondered aloud. She seemed to be thinking about something.

"Your YouTube channel has been uploading everyday... sometimes twice a day." She pointed out with a confused face.

"Jerome must know or has found my password." I say smiling slightly.

"Have you talked with Jerome? I bet he is worried for you." She said in a serious tone. I looked down.

"He won't when he finds out what happened to me... I was missing for a week!" I say in a sad tone.

"How do you know?" She asked slightly raising her voice.

I lowered my ears and looked to the wall,"I..."

I could not form a true statement. I did not kniw what Jerome would say or do. I was just preparing for the worse outcome. I could feel tears stinging my eyes as I looked at the girl. She had a serious look on her face with a slight smile. Her bright blue eyes staring at me.

"I... I'm just scared." I finally say in a soft voice. Her facial expression changes and her smile stretches.

"Call him, he will understand. After all you were Benjnapped against your will." She says using airquotes around Benjnapped. I chuckled and nodded my head.

"I'll do that... I have to ask though... where am I?" She giggles and grabs one of my napkins. She pulls a pen from behind her ear and writes a few things on it.

"Good luck Biggums." She says getting up while passing me the napkin.

I pull out my phone and turn it on. I see Jerome's face and I click the green button beside it. Holding up to my human ear I lower my cat ear.

The ringing stops and I hear Jerome's concerned voice.

'Who is this?'

"It's me Biggums."

'M-Mitch?'

"Yeah buddy."

'What happened?"

"I will tell you later but I need you to pick me up."

'Where are you?'

"New Jersey, at McDonald's"
