Heartache

O N E

It was night time. Probably midnight? I didn't know, and I didn't really care either. What mattered right now was that I was out. Finally and after all these years, I was free. I don't know how that worked but I was able to sneak out. Past all the guards, nurses and whoever is up at this time of the night. Freedom tasted like....hunger? I felt hungry, being such a sneaky snoop sure did require energy.Thankfully,I took my 'necessities' and by necessities I mean my phone,glasses,some pills,cash,and my journal. Of course, I didn't steal the money. It's mine actually. That's not the topic. I took my backpack off my back and started looking through it, just to make sure I've got everything that I needed to survive for....well not long because I won't be gone for long,sadly,I'll have to return sooner or later. I threw the backpack on my back, put up the hood of my jacket, put my warmth seeking hands into the pockets of the jacket, and started to run. Better get on my feet before they start searching. After running for what seemed to be hours, I stopped at a diner. "Well.....I AM hungry, a short stop won't hurt anybody, "I told myself. I pushed the opaque, glass door open. I was welcomed by the mouthwatering smell of pancakes that was dominant compared to the other aromas in this welcoming diner. I looked around, the diner was almost empty. Good. Less attention was better in my case, not that I would normally want it. walked through the diner, there was a booth at the very end of it,perfect.I sat down and threw my lavender colored backpack beside me.I sure did miss the friendly atmosphere of places like this one, I smiled. It wasn't a sad smile but it wasn't really happy either.For I knew that I had to go back. I sighed. I...hate it in the-"Hello dearie!!New face here ey? Well new face to my at least! Now, what would a sweetheart like you want to eat FROM a diner at a time like this?" the cheerful waitress beamed. She looked enthusiastic and friendly too. I just didn't like that she's attacking me with questions. My eyes shifted from her to the tiled floor. I groaned. She looked at me and sighed. Her eyes were so beautiful, it looked like they yelled 'I'm happy, and nothing could change that!'...Honestly, it was something that I wished to have. My eyes screamed 'Binge watching your favorite show and/or anime DOESN'T get you anywhere in life'...well that's me I guess. "Hun?You in there? You okay?huuuuuuuun?"She asked with worry in her tone."Wha-..Yeah,yeah I'm fine. Sorry I just spaced out,"I replied. "Sorry for attacking you with the questions sugar, it's just that it's p late,I'm just worried that something might happen to a sweet lil girl like you," she said. "Thank you for worrying but I'm fine! My parents' house is just around the block, plus I'm 22,I can take good care of myself!But again thanks for your concern,"I half lied.

."alright sugar, what would you like?"she sighed."Hmmm......hope those pancakes are as del as they smell,cause I would love some!,"I said petending to sniff the air."kay cupcake,would you like a drink with that?"she giggled."Milk please,"I replied.I yawned.FRICK!!I was starting to get tired,now?!! .I don't have enough cash for two nights in a hotel too!!I sighed.What's up with me and sighing a lot?I looked at my backpack then took it and set it on the table in front of me.I opened it.I started looking through the components of the bag for the cash to pay for the meal.While looking through the bag something sharp penetrated my index finger.A syringe.I don't remember putting this in.The crimson liquid started to flow down my finger.UGH I PRICKED MY FINGER....I removed the stupid syringe and started looking for a bandaid..........and a pill.I gently removed the paper cover(?) of the bandaid and applied it to my wound.Then....I looked at pill thinkfully.......while I was 'spacing out' the bandaid slipped off my finger and fell onto the floor.The bleeding didn't halt.Of course it didn't.I took out another bandaid and applied it to the,still bleeding,wound.And took out a a small piece of cloth and wrapped it around my finger.Back to the pill.I looked at it a bit more then opened the bag and returned it in there.I need to save this stuff,after all a small wound as this one isn't fatal.Right?I yawned again."Getting sleepy,huh?"she asked while she,oh so gently,placed a plate of freshly prepared pancakes and a cup of hot milk(*insert lenny face here*) on the table.I yawned again,then gave her a thumbs up."yeah,thanks,"I said with my eyes half closed.I ate a bite of the pancakes-AND HOLY MOLY WHAT THE SPAGHETTI WAS IN THOSE I SUDDENLY FEEL ALL ACTIVE N STUFF!!!!"YEAH I'LL BE ALRIGHT SWEET LADY AND IF SOMEBODY ATTACKED ME I'LL USE THESE GUNS ON THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"I yelled as I pointed to my arms.She laughed,"slow down tiger,I see that the pancakes started to kick in."What?....WHAT'S IN THOSE PANCAKES?????"Ummmmmmm...hey lady......what's in those?"I questioned curiously."Magic and love....and a secret ingredient,"she answered winking.I ate more.These were the best pancakes ever!"Didn't catch your name by the way,I'm Margret,"she asked."Vidal,'m name's Vidal"I replied after eating the last bite.
