Don't Runaway [Book 2]

Chapter 22

Once dressed I adjusted my... Dawn's shirt that I was borrowing. Happy the way it looks, I found my snickers tucked under the bed where I had had them. Slipping them on I lifted one foot at a time adjust them. Once I felt ready I slipped out the door and walked down the all?

I wonder if she's still in the green house. Damn it Victor, you didn't tell me where she was. Heading back to the green house I walked down the very long hallway to the staircase. I could take the other one close to my... Victor room but I'll just get lost again.

Some part of me really wanted to meet her and the other thought it was just a bad idea. I don't want to mess up what she has here. I can't seem to get along with anyone and how am I to get along with her... now that she's one of them. She's no longer the same person I once knew. And I'm not the same person that she once knew ether. Maybe I should just play dumb and pretend... or continue to be Mary. It was my choice to forget my past. No. That's unfair to her... and me.

"Haha, Connor stop! I can do it myself," I heard Dawns voice down the hall. Almost running I stopped half way to an open door.

"You need to drink enough. You're feeding for three and laying in that bed you were not getting enough," a concerned Connor replied.

"I understand but I feel full," she giggled. I rolled my eyes, I'm not even in front of the door and I wanted to bash my head in the wall. Why is everyone so lovely dovely with each other? Even Victor is kind of like that. Not to mention I was surprised that he didn't jump me when he caught me naked. Did I miss something with him?

"- let's clean you up. Your sister will be here soon," after a few moments later.

"Do I look okay?" Dawn asked almost worried.

"You're beautiful."

"Connor." Oh god, I felt my eyes roll to the back of my head. I didn't know how I should present myself, if by poking my head in like a child or knocking on the door. I choose to knock on the door. Hitting my knuckles on the wooded door, I heard some shuffling and then it was dead silent. "C...Come in," Dawn said as if she was filling off a nervous smile.

I don't what to know what may have happened, "I'm sorry", I said after I had opened the door wider and peeking in the room like a child. Well I guess I did both.

"Come in, come in," Dawn smiled waving her hand. I gave her a little smile and slipped through the crack of the door. "Sit," she ordered patting the bed. She looked at Connor and as if he knew he got up, touched her cheek with a smile, and left us alone.

Not leaving my spot, "How are you feeling?"

"Full, now come sit. I won't bite, well not you." She smiled. I gave her a confusing look as if this was her way of making a joke of her new found body. "Not funny, or too soon?" she asked.

"Not funny," I said almost laughing with a smile.

"Sit, don't let me tell you again," she said patting the bed. I walked to her and rested my butt in the bed as she folder her arms around her stomach. "Mary..." as soon as she said that name I was hurt. Did she really forget me? "Or do you still use Edea," I let out a hard sigh of relief as a smile formed on my face as I moved my head around unsure what to do. I was that happy.

"Edea. Call me. Edea," I almost cried. I told myself I wouldn't cry, how uncool would it be if I did. Oh what the hell I'm going to do it anyway.

She laughed, "Why didn't you tell me, who you were? All this time and you were right under my noise."

"I wanted to tell you but at the same time I was afraid to. At first I thought you would think I was making fun of you. And then I wanted to make sure you were my Dawn. And most times I wanted to tell you we would end up talking about you and your problems as well as my own. So I thought, 'just a little longer' and 'I'll tell her' but I couldn't until it was too late. And when you walked into the water... I thought that if I did ever find you. I would find a dead body."
