Chapter 19
Alex(NF) POV:
I went home soon after Jake got called in for work. When Jake had to leave me he looked at me with sadness, but his words before he left still echoed in my mind. "Don't forget this Alex. I will find you again, I always do" then he left.
I sighed and looked up at the sky that was turning into a dark color for night. I walked home Slowly but stopped half way. I can't go home.... Father.... The fight.... I don't want to face him still.... I messed up my hair with my hand, my hand going through my hair. "Well I can't just sleep outside, I can but then father would get even more worried...." My eyes narrowed.
Worried.... He probably was shocked by my killing expression. I didn't want to make that expression ever to father....but it just happened. I even talked back to him, yelling.
I felt worse thinking about it. I didn't know what to do. Go home or sleep outside somewhere. I groaned in frustration.
"Please forgive me father...." I felt a drop of water hit my face and I looked up and saw dark clouds forming. "Rain..."
The option of sleeping outside was coming into a close and it began to rain hard. But I didn't want to go home and I wanted to at the same time. But because I was an idiot I ran toward an alleyway hiding under a over hang of a building, soaked. I leaned against the building and slid down onto the ground. I closed my eyes then took a deep breath feeling myself shiver.
"I'm an idiot... But I am afraid... So does this make me a chicken... Or a regular human?" I thought to myself for a while until my eyes closed and I felt sleep wash over me.
**********
I opened my eyes and bright light hit my eyes. "Nng" I blocked the bright light with my arm but saw something else. A little girl was in front of me looking down at me. "You okay Mister?" She asked.
"Go away...." I mumbled. She crouched down besides me. "You look pale and your clothing are a bit wet" she pointed out. "Its fine, go back home kid" I said looking at her from the corner of my eyes. "I don't have to be home until Later so I'll stay here for abit" she smiled.
I sighed "won't your mom be worried if she saw you with a strange man?" I questioned. She kept smiling at me "Maybe but moma said if I meet someone in trouble I should help them" she said looking at me. "I don't need help, so go and play with your friends" I turned and looked at her.
Her eyes brightened "You have pretty eyes Mister" she said looking at my eyes. "One of them are fake" I replied. "Really? How did you loose your real eye?" She asked. "I was shot in the eye by a cop" I sighed.
"Does that mean you are a bad man?" She asked wide eyed. "Yeah, I'm a very bad man" I grinned. "I don't believe it!" She said sitting on the ground now besides me. "You heard of NoFace?" I asked her. She nodded "mhm, moma watched news and talks about it with Papa. Noface Kills people as moma said, and moma told me to stay far away from Noface" she said.
