Delirious

I spent most of my time in the car staring out the window, admiring everything that passed by. There were so many people walking alongside the street, yet so many of them driving in cars. Everything was so lively, whether it was the shops or the people themselves. 

Ryan was doing the same, resting his head on his hand. He only moved his head when his hand started slipping. His mouth would curve up every once in awhile when something intriguing passed by.

Bryce and Luke were having their own conversation up front, knowing that we just wanted to scan the area. Luke carefully kept his attention on the road, peeking at Bryce sometimes whether it was to talk or to give him the idea that he was listening. About once or twice, Bryce looked into the center mirror, locking eyes with me. I flicked my head away towards the window which made Bryce chuckle.

I was really starting to trust these guys, although Ryan might be a bit uneasy, I believed they were good. Anything was better than Father. I knew that it was very risky showing them my face, but I wanted them to know just in case we encountered 'him'. Every memory made with him has been carved into my brain, and I will never forgive him. It's bad enough that I lost my virginity at the age of 6, and to my own father.

Ever since then, whenever people touched me, or attempted to, I would shy away, not wanting any human contact. I mean, I barely survived when Bryce was patching up my leg. I only told myself to stay strong so I didn't die right then and there on the couch.

I pressed my knees tightly against my chest, being careful with my slightly injured leg and becoming isolated on the small seat. I kept my focus on the environment and noted every turn we made. Eventually we pulled into what I assumed was the restaurant. I didn't catch what the sign said on the front since we turned in so fast.

Once Luke parked, I was the first to get out. I went to Ryan's side of the car and opened it up, practically dragging him out. He laughed at my childish excitement, but I knew he was just as happy.

"You've guys have tried pancakes before, right?" Luke locked the car, coming around the from to stand by us. Ryan and I nodded.

"Well, welcome to the international house of pancakes! A.k.a iHOP," Luke shouted the first part, then used his normal, casual voice for the second. Bryce jokingly punched his arm, and walked towards the door, holding it open like the gentleman he is. The three of us thanked him as we passed by.

When I saw the entrance, I was in awe. The restaurant was half full, half empty, whichever you prefer, yet it was so bright. The sun had the perfect angle on the mosaic window that hovered above the tables. Each color blended beautifully, bright greens with light pinks and blues and all the colors! I honestly couldn't form words from the beauty that this restaurant possessed.

"Come on, Delirious. We haven't even been seated and you're already drooling," Bryce laughed, gesturing to follow my brother. I rolled my eyes, although he couldn't see it, and sat next to Ryan.

As we chatted away, someone with light brown skin and black hair that swept neatly towards the back put his fingers to his lips. He was directly behind Luke and Bryce, so only me and Ryan saw him. I acted like I didn't see him and waited for him to make a move.

"Hello, my name is Lui Calibre and today I will be your waiter!" The man now known as Lui shouted in the duo's ears and grabbed their shoulder. Bryce let out a quick high pitched scream, quickly covering his mouth afterward. Luke got up and speed-walked away from the table in shock, covering his face with his hands. At this point, Ryan and I were in tears from laughing so hard. We were drawing so much attention, but it was worth it.
