Now I'm Just Numb

Chapter 12

Patrick's PoV

It takes me about an hour in my car to reach the bridge.

Heart pounding I get out of my car and feel the wind blow through my jacket. Well it's now or never.

Before I can change my mind I walk over to the café and open the door-good thing it's open all hours.

Elisa's sister Mia has been working in this café "the bridge" for a few months now. Seeing no other way out I might aswell see if I can get any information from her.

I enter the shop and sit in a vacant booth. Shaking my hands on my knees I see how empty the place is.

Mia walks over to me with an odd expression on her face. My heart sinks-

God she looks so much like Elisa

- "Patrick?" She says looking at me with a notebook in hand expecting my order.

I swallow "Hi Mia how are you?" I manage and even smile after. She smiles on que." long time no see. What can I get you?" She says stiffly.

"Oh some answers?" I murmur. Mia's eyes roll and she begins to back away. Jumping up from the table I call after her "Hear me out I just want to talk to you!"

She flips back and faces me. Caught off guard I take a step back.

"That's funny coming from you!" She calls and stalks off behind the counter.

What's that all about? I walk after her, with a confused expression on my face.
Upon seeing me still here Mia shakes her head.

"Look I'm not leaving until you tell me something." I plead. A flash of something wavers her hard expression.

"Ok fine what?" Mia breaths out and holds the bridge of her nose with her free hand.

I put on a fake smile and sit down at the counter." Ok well what did you mean back there about me and talking?"

She laughs "your joking right! Ever since you and my sister split you haven't said a word to me so why should I tell you anything?"

I feel as if I've been slapped. I didn't think my chats with Mia meant that much...

Shaking my head I get over that outburst and continue "Well I guess the only thing I really want to know is...how is she?" I break-feeling all the pent up energy escaping me.

Now it's Mia's turn to be taken aback.

She shrugs "I don't really think-" I hold up my hand "Please just tell me."

She sighs "Patrick I don't know how to say this but...well... She's fine. Don't get me wrong she was sad for the first few days but I know when she's over something..." Mia's voice trails to a whisper delivering the news I've been dreading and the final nail in my coffin.

I nod blankly stare at the walls make my mind up.

Mia begins "Patrick," she looks at my face "Are you okay?"

I look at her and shrug "Fine I think I'm getting a cold though. Is there a pharmacy near here?"

"Yea there's a twenty four hour one down the road," She tells me put looking confused at me random comment.

I stand and leave a twenty dollar tip. Mia begins to say something but I cut her off in a hug.

I hold her in a long embrace "Thank you."

I leave quickly before she registered what I did there.

Breathing deeply I get back in my car and clears think about my new plan.

Step 1:
Go to pharmacy

Step 2:
Get pills
