I feel pain in all my body, my head is like floating, I move and feel a soft bed, I open my eyes slowly taking in the light of the room. I see a wood roof, this is not my room, I sit resting my back at the wooden wall. I look around and this doesn't look familiar, the room door is open but I cant look out, where are my glasses. I hear footsteps coming towards me.

"finally awake, how are you feeling?"

That voice, Bennet? "My glasses" I say

"right, I forgot you are blind as an old lady"  he puts them in my hand. I fast put them on and hit by the image of a shirtless sweaty shiny bennet.

"what the hell" I move away, he was sitting in the bed next to me, I look around better, I guess this is his room. I look down at myself and I was waring a shirt, his shirt! "what happened? how I end up here"

"well first you are welcome and second nothing happen, I may ask that myself to you"

"what, no, I was" then I stopped to think.

"mhm, that's right, I found you in the middle of the woods freezing past out if I wouldn't find you in time, I think you would be dead" he said as he stands and cross his arms around his chest. I watch as a drop of sweat goes down to his belly bottom. 

"can you put a shirt please" I look away

"why do I put you nervous?" he jokes as he puts a shirt on

"you are really careless, no that's not it, now please tell me you didn't put this on me" I said pointing at the shirt I got on 

"do you see anyone else?" he looks around 

"no, no , no" I try and get out of bed but my head is going in circles, so I lose balance he fast grabs me by the waist and then grabs me and takes me to the kitchen. "put me down" I said full of nerves. He sits me down on a chair.

"calm down, I only did it because you had fever, I couldn't put you on bed with freezing cold wet clothes"

"how embarrassing" I cover my face with my hands

"don't be stupid is nothing out of the ordinary, now eat, breakfast is served"

I look and in front of me there's a plate with boiled eggs and bacon with a slice of bread. I look back at him while he sips on a metal cup reading the newspaper. I eat a small piece of egg first. "poison?" 

"really?" he raise an eyebrow 

I kept eating and it was amazing, when I'm done I drank from the cup that was next to my plate. "it was delicious"

"thanks I raised the chicken  myself" 

"really? you didn't bought it?"

"nope"

I look around once more, is a small farm house, beautifully decorated with so simple things, I hear the birds in the distance. I can see outside from the big windows and see just green and blue. 

"how much time I've been here?"

"2 weeks, you are all over the newspaper" he lands the paper in my hands. I look a drawing of me without the glasses. I chuckled. 

"can you help me go outside?"

He stands and held my hand, slowly we walk to the front porch, we where in the middle of a wonderful landscape. Just green anywhere you look, flowers, a barn not so far away, you can hear the animals and the water from the river going fast through the rocks. Tears fill my eyes, so much peace. Why go back? to that nightmare of a place, where being fake and hide is the key of acceptance. I don't fit there, but, will he let me stay?
