On the way back in Tony's car we listened to Pantera, I could see that he was lost in his thought. The music kept my mind busy and gave me a chance to analyze what happened today. I was afraid that he will reject me. The night slowly climbed down and I felt cold more than ever. I hugged myself, regretting that I ever told Tony so much information.
"You hungry?" Tony asked out of nowhere. I think that I said yes because after few seconds he drove to the nearby dinner. A minute or so he came back with fries and more stuff which I ignored and instead glared throughout the car window. Tony sighed and took deep breath.
"Take you back to your place?" I looked at him with terrified gaze. Tony was worried and scratched his neck. I knew it. No one want to like someone like me. The tears overflowed my eyes.
"Yeah, it would be great" my voice was broken and quiet. The car started again and the song which played before woke up from the radio. The ride back was very short, too short in my opinion. I opened the passenger door and shut it. The tears streamed down my face now, I felt like a fool because I opened up to someone who can't understand me. I didn't bother to check if Tony left and just sat down and cried. I don't know how much time passed but someone entered to my apartment.
"Grace?" some unknown voice called my name.
"I'm Vic, Tony's friend...he told me that I need to talk with you, he told me what happened" great, now all the band will know about my flaws.
Vic sat down next to me, I could see that he was nervous and a bit shy, just like Tony. Vic played with the zipper of his hoodie and took a deep breath. I knew that he's going to start speaking but for the moment he was unsure what to say or how to start.
"I know I can't save the world from the creatures that don't die, but I can be a safe place where you can share and work on the saving. I think that you already noticed that Tony is a shy guy who doesn't know how to help but I know that right now he really likes you" so many emotions run through my body and I hope that this talk will lead us somewhere.
"Maybe you won't believe me but I was in your position once. I remember how bad it felt when your depression over flout you and it feels like you're drowning and how cutting is kind of escape, but at some point it gets worse" how did he knew that I still do that?
"H-how did you figure out that I do that?" I mumbled my question.
"It's fucking hot here and outside and you still wearing a supper warm coat...and I saw the way your hands shake" I think that only now I realized that my hands shaking.
"Oh, well I'm cold..." more excuses.
"For the moment I won't bother you about that, because if your smile is good enough to make Tony fall in love with you I think you worth the saving" Vic had a long brown hair that curled in the ends.
"I wish I could change..." I told Vic and I saw from the corner of my eye that he nod. We sat there quietly and each one was busy with his thoughts.
"It's the first step, admitting. The second step is to find a friend that will support you and keep you up-that's what my brother, Mike, did and I knew that I had to be a good brother and get better" get better? What he did that made him realize at that point that he should change?
"You probably think-'what he already did?', well I used to hurt myself. I hated life even when everything was amazing and pretty good. One day I found that music is the right thing for me" he smiled at the memory. I thought really hard to find what I like. I liked to photograph and write and music but I don't think it would workout. Vic looked on my one room apartment and the first thing he spotted was the camera that Cassandra gave me the previous Christmas.
"You like you photograph?" he was excited and before I could say something he already grabbed the thing and began watching the photos I took long ago.
"It's nice you know? You can practice more and it would be amazing" he was thrilled more than me because I don't have a penny in my pocket to pay rent, and here is a guy I met an hour ago who planned for me more than I ever did in my entire life.
"I got fired today and I don't think I have the time to..." Vic dismissed me and answered me without even looking in my direction.
"Don't be crazy, you can stay with me and my brother until you figure out yourself. We even know a photographer who will be glad to help"
"But..."
"I don't care, listen to my advice and do what I offer you. It's not an offer, it's a demend"
