We finally get to the restaurant after an hour of driving. Obviously having to stop literally four times for Sarena to pee. But I guess the wait was worth it. We walk in and there are swastika flags everywhere. Their flags are all around and the tables and chairs are white. It seems like a weird place to eat but it's been killing us to see what it's like. Our waiter was really nice she spoke almost completely German, which was funny because me and Liv understood her and Levi and Sarena only got bits and pieces.
"Guten tag, Wie geht es dir?"
( hello, how are you)
Me and Liv answer with the same "Gut."
(Good)
She then continues to ask us what we would like.
" Zu trinken?"
( To drink)
Liv is the first person to speak up. " Weinschorle."
(Wine Spritzer)
She turns to me,
"Zu trinken?"
( To drink)
" Rotwein."
(red wine)
She looked over at the very confused Sarena and asks,
"Zu trinken?"
(to drink)
Sarena leans over to ask me a question.
"Alexis, how do you say white wine?"
I look up at the lady and speak for Sarena and Levi
"weißwein."
(White wine)
She leaves our table then comes back about ten minutes later holding our tray with our drinks on it. We all distribute our drinks and then she asks what we would like to eat.
I order first because I had to ask her a question.
" Guten Tag, haben sie vegetarische Gerichte?"
(Hi, do you have vegetarian food?)
"Ju," She responds so happily.
(Yes)
Everyone laughs at my question.
"Whats so funny I need to know this stuff."I start laughing only harder this time.
I'll have Gemüse and Reis.
(vegetables and rice)
She then looks over at Liv.
I'll have Brathähnchen and Reis.
(Roast chicken and rice)
She then looks at Sarena and her and Levi get the same thing, Würstchen, and Gemüse.
(Sausages and vegetables)
We all wait there have a casual conversation about each others summer. Of course, Sarena and Levi spent the summer in New York. And I was all good with Liv until like three weeks until school started because I've have had a lot of marching band practices plus work and then the fire happened. But me and Liv spent a lot of time together. We were in the Restaurant for about two hours then got ready to go. I paid the bill then we got ready to leave. I got in my car with Liv and Sarena and Levi in there's. We all Drive away and on the way back to Liv's she finally asks the question that's been bugging her.
"Have you been to the place where the fire was?"
"What do you mean?"
"Like have you been there since that night?"
"No why?"
"Just curious that's all."
" Do you wanna go down to the storage house where it was?"
" Yes I really do but I didn't want to say anything."
"Ok, we can go."
We drive down but it is completely silent. The whole way there not one word was uttered from me or Liv. When we get there I take in a deep breath and get out and Liv follows. We walk down the hill to the storage area and we stand where I was laying on the ground were Nate was trying to get me to get up and leave. Standing there I have a lot of flashbacks of that night. I take Liv's hand and we go down to the back of the building to see where the fire started. When we get back there, we see people, a man, and a woman. We got a closer look and we found out it was Mr.Belfiore and Mrs.Morgan. I didn't see either of them at school today I didn't go to band cause I felt sick so I went to the nurse.
I guess they're here because of the people that were lost a lot of those people were in band marching band and choir so they've lost a lot too. We go to walk away but I step on something and I make a loud noise causing them both to Flick there eyes on me.
"Alexis? Liv? is that you?"
"Yeah, it's us," I respond not really wanting to spark a conversation where we lost a lot of lives we cared about.
"We are so happy you're ok," Mr.Belfiore states as he walks closer.
"I guess but I deserved to die in the fire, I was here no one else but a few survived."
They both looked at me shocked about the words that just came out of my mouth.
"Don't say that you deserved to die in that fire because that is not true at all," Mrs.Morgan says softly as she gets closer to me to embrace me in a warm hug.
After a few minutes she lets go and I walk back toward Liv and Mrs.Morgan and Mr.Belfiore left and we walked around. I kept getting a lot of images of that night. The people screaming my name the flames in front of me all of it was just literally terrifying. Me and Liv stay there for a while I tell her what I remember from the time I got there until the time I was taken in the ambulance to make sure I was ok.
We proceed back to my car to check the time considering We both left our Phones there.(I know what teen does that but just go with it.) We were there for about two hours. It's about 11 p.m. when we decided to leave. We both cried on and off as we neared the end of the storage unit. We get in then we drive away in complete and utter quietness until Liv finally says something.
"I'm sorry."
" Why are you sorry you didn't do anything."
" Well I asked you to come here and now we are both crying."
"It's not your fault."
We are both quiet for a little. As I'm driving back to Liv's I get a phone call from my mom. I turn on the Bluetooth and start talking.
"Where were you last night?"
"Out."
" With who?"
"No one of your concern."
" I expect you home tonight."
" Well, you expect wrong."
"You live under my house my rules."
"Well you are not my mom so, I'm staying out."
"You will come home."She yells her last part probably to scare me.
"A place where a child had to lock their bedroom door is not home that's hell. I'm not coming home."I end up hanging up the phone not wanting to hear what she has to say.
"My lovely mother,"I say to be funny because it got really awkward.
" Well ok then.". We both start laughing when I turn on the radio and we end up screaming "Mad Hatter" by Melanie Martinez.
