Too far gone

Apples!

--- Gregory's POV ---

"Ghost.......

"......

"Ghost, wake up...." No...

.....

"Gah!!" I felt something pull the covers off me. "Cold, cold, cold..." I sat up and felt around the bed for my blankets, not opening my eyes. "Ghost, you have to get up!" I sighed and opened my eyes. "That's better. Now let's get you dressed. Breakfast is almos-" I fell forward, faceplanting on the bed. "I don't wanna!" "You have to. I've let you sleep as long as I can! You don't want mother to he upset, do you?" ..... no... I don't want her mad at me again.. I sighed again and sat back up. "No..." he smiled and agreed. He brought me my clothes back from yesterday and told me that someone washed them for me. Yay! Now they'll be soft like the other clothes! I put them on the met Johnny outside his door. We walked down a lot of long hallways before making it to the 'dining area'. Gavin was already at the table eating and there was a girl there too. I'm assuming that was other sister. I waved and she smiled back at me. Gavin just ignored me... I wonder why... I guess he really doesn't like me...

"Ghost..!" I looked over at Johnny, who was already sitting at the table, "You can sit next to me if you'd like." I nodded and climbed onto the chair next to his. "..... Johnny..?" He looked over at me, "Yes?"
"..... what are we doing?"
"What..?"
"Why are we at a table..?"
"....... Gre-.. Ghost, we're eating breakfast...."
".. what's bweakfast?? And why are we eating him?"
"...." he stared at me then smiled lightly, "Breakfast is the meal you eat when you get up."
"Why?"
"Well.. aren't you hungry?"
I shrugged, "Not really... box fwiend and me only ate once a day..."
"Oh? How did you-... huh... well, people usually eat three times a day, Ghost."
"Oh... okway..."
"....." he looked back at the table and started eating his food. I looked at my plate as well. Pancakes! Yay! I smiled and started eating, trying to mimick what Johnny did. I don't want them to think that I'm rude. I know people who live in big houses like this usually have a fancy way of eating. It was hard to follow him though. I'm so used to just tearing the pancake apart and then eating it. But we had other stuff to eat too. There was some yellow stuff on my plate too. I asked Johnny what they were and he told me that they were eggs. We had eggs, pancakes, and some grapes! I haven't eaten this much at once in a long time! I don't know if i can eat it all...

After Johnny finished his grapes and his eggs, he went to cut up the pancakes. He picked up a knife and started cutting them. Hey! I can do that! I'm good at cutting things! I got up from the table and ran to our room. Johnny got down and followed me, thinking that something scared me. "What're you doing, Ghost??" I smiled and grabbed my dino plush than ran back to the table with him following me again. I sat in my seat and sat my dino next to my plate. "What was that about?!"their sister stared at me. I smiled at her and looked at Johnny, waiting for him to get back in his seat. I can't eat right if I don't know what to do!

Johnny hesitated and then sat down, still staring at me. "What?" Why's everyone staring at me...? He shook his head and went back to eating, as did the others. Johnny picked up his knife and his fork and went back to cutting his pancakes. Right! So, I need my knife now. I picked up my dino and opened the little pouch in his back. I smiled at my friend and pulled him out. Johnny jumped and fell out of his seat and Gavin and their sister jumped down and backed away. I looked around to see what scared them, but I didn't see anything scary. "What's wong?" Johnny's sister ran over and helped Johnny up. They were all staring at me. I don't like this... "What's wong?!" Johnny tried to say something but his sister cut him off, "Where did you get that!?"
"Get what?"
"T-That knife!!"
"Huh? Oh! You mwean Knifey??" I looked at Knifey, still confused.
"Yes! Only adults are allowed to have knives like that!!"
"Oh? But this is Knifey! Knifey is my fwiend..."
"You're friend..? Its a knife! How can it be yo-" Johnny cut her off and told her to quiet down. I looked at Knifey again and frowned. They don't like my friend... he's nice..! Why don't they like him? Johnny walked up to me cautiously, like I was going to hurt someone. "Ghost... can I have the knife, please?" I looked up at him and hugged Knifey. "No! He's my fwiend! You can't have him!!" He sighed and stepped back, not sure of what to do. "Why don't you wike him..?" I'm still hurt they're treating my friends like this. "Knives are dangerous, Ghost. You could hurt yourself. O-Or someone else." "Nu-uh! Knifey and me have been best friends for a wong twime! He would never hurt you! And I know how to use a knife! Watch!" I grabbed and apple from the table and placed it in the floor. I steadied Knifey then slashed at the apple, cutting it into two almost perfect halves. Everyone in the room flinched when I did. Then I took the halves and cut them into two more halves. "See??" They were all frozen. Stating at me. I guess I scared them... Uhm... I know! I put knifey in my pocket then got up and handed them each a piece of the apple. They all just stared at me. This is really uncomfortable... I waited abit them grabbed my dino and walked back to Johnny's room. I bet they won't like me now... I probably just lost my friends.. again... am I not supposed to have friends? Is that what it is? It has to be. I'm just not allowed to have friends, I guess...
