Dear Jason,
I am in this white four walled box and I believe I am going crazy, if this stained glass window was not in here then I would definitely be hitting my head against these walls. If I did at least there would be something new and interesting in the wall to look at.
I feel like there is not as much to talk to you about anymore but I don’t know maybe that is because my life is just so boring or maybe it is because we are growing apart?
Love,
Payton
Putting my notebook away I headed over to the red brick building where Mindy’s classes were held, all of the painting were said to be dried and looked at by Monday and today was the day.
I had a lot of convincing to do with Brian to even be able to leave my room, they make me spend just about all my time in there, I dont even get to eat some of my meals in the cafeteria anymore and sometimes just rarely i get to go to the game room.
Refusing to talk to Jeffery I walked ahead and did not look his way once. He attempted to talk to me but I was not in the mood for any of his nonsense. Opening up the door I was so excited to feast my eyes on all of the detail that was covering the walls. There has been quite a shortage of color in my white box. Mindy was sitting over at an antique cherry oak desk that was covered in papers and random junk objects.
Her wacky hair was disheveled and her glasses were placed on the tip of her nose as usual, and with a smock splashed in paint tied around her waist she was a character.
“Hello Payton! Nice to see you, it has been quite a while since I have seen you where have you been? You know I love visitors.”
I smiled listening to her voice, she was such a kind woman and I was glad to see her again even if it was one of the last times for a while.
“Hi, yes I have been busy, they changed my room so now I am all by myself and the room is terrible there is no furniture except for the bed in the corner. I am going crazy in there and being able to just walk through this room is the highlight of my week. I don’t think I have ever missed color more in my life.”
“yes, and you seem to really enjoy color, I was looking at your painting and it is beautiful, where did you learn to paint like that with some many amazing combinations of color? Your painting was one of the only paintings with colors.”
“Really, you thought it was good? I took a few classes back in the town I used to live in and I enjoy painting it brings me comfort to be able to show other people what is in my mind, I really only have had happy thoughts, except for lately.”
“Why lately, what has been going on?”
I shrugged and looked down at the ground.
“Just everything with Brian and Jeffery, I don’t really know if I should talk about it.”
“alright, well if you don’t want to, that’s alright with me, I just would like to let you know that I love your painting and that I cannot wait to show others your beautiful artwork, but I have much work to do so I will see you around Payton, goodbye.”
Turning around I left the classroom but felt myself looking back at this place because somewhere deep down I had a feeling I would not see this place again. Talking to Mindy made me feel much better and I decided that since I was with Jeffery it was time to talk about things whether he wanted to or not, I was ready to talk and there was not much more I could lose, so why not.
Opening the door Jeremy was outside and he was talking to Tyler, this was the perfect time to talk to both of them.
“I am ready to go.” I said to Jeffery, by the tone I used Jeffery seemed to think I was not mad at him which was just what I wanted.
