~~~~~~~~Chapter 2~~~~~~~~

   By the time we get back to the room all of my things are laying neatly on the bed and the smell of all purpose cleaner blankets the room causing my nose to slightly twitch as we enter. I grab my clothes and head into the tiny restroom to the right of what used to be my bed.

   Closing the door, my bare feet touch the cold tile floor sending a dancing chill up my spine, making me cringe at its' icy touch. My hands search through the dark, sliding over the doorframe onto the wall then come in contact with a single plastic light switch flipping it on. Light radiates through the room causing the resent darkness to disappear becoming just a distant memory.

   The bathroom was pretty basic, a white porcelain toilet, whose water could be heard moving inside it, an old half shower, which was neither tub nor shower, and a mirror medicine cabinet, whose metal lining around the mirror was rusted, that hovered over a white porcelain sink that matched the toilet.

   Slipping my fingers around the strings tied together on the back of my tunic, which kept it together slightly covering my back and lower posterior from the rest of the world, I untie them and slip it off. I quickly put my undergarments on, grip my dark blue Levi's jeans, wiggle my feet and half of my legs into them, then jump a couple times with my hands gripping firmly on the sides until they land imperceptibly above my hips just below my belly button, at that point I zip them up and button them.

   With half of my black v-neck on I grab my socks throw them on soon after shove my feet into my black faded Converse and lace them up.

   As I exit the bathroom I flip off the light and close the door as darkness envelopes the room that was once hugged by light. Looking over to the doorway I notice Vicky leaning on the doorframe with the rest of my things intertwined in her arms, waiting patiently. Her light blue ocean eyes staring off into space, face perplexed as she remains present in deep thought.

   I begin to walk towards her way with a half smile and say "Hey, I'm done."

   Her train of thought derails causing her to blink a few times bringing her back to reality.

   She sighs and stops leaning on the doorframe  "Took you long enough. As you were taking your sweet ass time getting dressed the nurse came back saying before we leave we have to sign-out at the front desk." An incomplete smile spread across her face showing me she wasn't mad.
