"Do you want fruit in a little bowl? I can cut some up for ya right now if you'd like", Camille offered.
I was still in a daze. I had woken up again at around 2pm which was only an hour ago. I didn't care how I was perceived at this point, I felt drained of everything that made me "Kody". Maybe if I had stayed Orion then I wouldn't be in this situation.
A bright yellow bowl with a mixture of cut fruits was placed before me.
"Here. You should eat. ..Please Kody."
Her voice, a gentle plea, echoed throughout my head. Her words cleared some of the fog in my brain.
I picked up the fork and pushed the fruit around. Blueberries, apples, oranges, and strawberries. I hovered over the strawberries for a moment, a wave of pain pushed past my head.
After the discomfort had passed, I stabbed the strawberry.
'Sorry, but I'll be finishing these', I thought.
One by one, I reluctantly ate each piece of fruit, each bite forcing myself to push away a memory of him.
I hate feeling this way. My mind is so torn between contradicting thoughts. Just this morning before I fell back asleep, I wanted to isolate myself forever. But now I feel different again.
Maybe I'll go outside today and stand by the restaurant that played live music. Or maybe the lake that froze over and seemed to never melt. Or maybe I'll visit the cats by the weredog are... no not over there. Perhaps the marketplace with that suspicious tradesmen who sells bright rings instead.
Anything, anything to get...that... off my mind.
