DARLING, YOU'RE HIGH AGAIN.

CH 24: Who?

"Let him rest." Felix heard the old man's voice from the entrance of the gambling house, steady pose with both of his hands properly hidden behind his back, and his eyes still as sticky. Felix lowers his head, if he kept on looking at the old man he might just break down with sadness or anger.

"François and his madame could not forgive you, with the offence you caused we will have to do some compensation." He said, shaking his head in disappointment.

"You're really are something Felix, tell me, who was the man you were with?" Felix didn't even move a single muscle after being asked that question, he doesn't want to talk, he doesn't want to mention the man's name afraid that they might do something to him if he do. Felix's could almost hear his own heartbeat in the deafening silence that he created.

"Very well, Sky, bring him to his room."

Sky nodded his head in response, guiding Felix immediately after being told to. The slender man hold the other while walking him to his own room. "Are you alright? You're not hurt anywhere, are you?" Sky questioned, looking at Felix's expression, he expected a smile of assurance but instead he saw the man tearing up.

"Felix, why are you crying? Are you hurt or something?"

They stopped on their tracks, Felix quickly wipe the tears in pure shame, he just couldn't help feeling depressed and helpless. He was back here again, he just want to be away from this place but whatever he do, no matter how hard he try to escape he just ends up here every fucking time. He couldn't do anything, only cry in despair.

"No, No i'm not hurt i just... forget about it man, i just want to sleep, let's-let's go."

Despite being worried about Felix's physical and mental state Sky can only hum in agreement, they walk into Felix's suite in painful silence, but aside from that you could also hear Felix's choked sobs that he desperately trying to swallow down his throat. Sky doesn't mind it though, it's better that the man let out all of his emotions than bottling it up. Keeping emotions inside is ugly, it's uglier when you don't want it inside you.

Felix's world is spinning in his eyes, his mind is vague like fog in midnight, he's feeling dizzy like his brain is put inside a spiral, he felt like dying now that he's back here for fucking good.

"I will go now Lix, if you need anything just ask for it, i'm sure to give it to you. And... And please promise me not to do anything to harm yourself, okay? Everything will be better once you wake up from sleep, i can assure you that." Those were Sky's words before he completely close the door and leave.

Felix didn't say anything, he sits in his bed in unbearable misery. His suite has always been this quiet and lonesome, dull, sad and dead. Never in his life he ever wished to sleep inside this room again, it's better to fell asleep in the strippers club than sleeping here, sometimes Felix even thought of sleeping in the streets just not here.

But he's back, to the hell where perhaps where his soul truly belongs. Maybe this is the time where he realizes that the reason why he just couldn't get away, because he belongs here. He will come back no matter where he run to.

"Let's just sleep, Felix."

-

For once this week, everything is peaceful, his surroundings didn't matter nor his sake. Everything was quiet and peaceful. No one intended to hurt Felix, no one forces him to do things, he didn't cry and his eyes could finally rest. In his sleep everything is beautiful, there was no dreams, just all black. Just exactly what Felix wanted.

But that peace of nothingness broke when a familiar voice of a bitch rang out inside the whole room, singing and screaming.

"Oh momma, Oh you're rocking well, Hmm yeah you do it so well, well we do it so well, when we do the eagle rock."
