Chapter two

Stage one: Hostility and Deceit

Pennsylvania

Troy's P.O.V

My eyes adjusted to the dark for a moment I thought I was deaf since it was dead silent.

" Troy?" beckoned mom in barely a whisper from the lower bunk bed she shared with Val. " Yes ?" I replied. " We'll get through this " she stated. " I know we will" I lied with an unease that brewed to malaise wrapped around in nausea and a pounding headache.

I threw up and hacked a cough unbearable pain to endure. " Oh" I heard a voice cry against my racing heart.

My eyes felt heavy as the sounds drowned out again.

Troy.

Troy.

An alluring voice beckoned me awake. I smiled at her delicate ivory and rosy face cupped by her coffee strands that smiled back.

Troy!

Barked a ear bleeding voice. " Ah" I cried trapped in the bright light that scorched me to sweat profusely and blinded me, in the dizziness,ache and thirst.

Right at my face dark eyes squinted at me while her thick eyebrows dipped in on them her buck teeth were bared out.

Am I in hell?

" You got ten minutes to freshen up then you'll get the pills let's hope you won't be a pill popping addict too and clean that mess up" she commanded almost out of hearing reach.

I finally got some shut eye to be yelled at again. " nine now"

Why won't she leave me alone ?

I gingerly got out of the sleeper and climbed down the steps. There was an angel looking after me after all since the next step there was a cool breeze that cooled my boiling body.Despite the bliss of the shade from the gas station the mirage and light hurt my sensitive eyes.

In the area was a scowling truck driver who wore a black baseball cap the same colour as her hair perfect to shield my sensitive eyes.

" Um.....Dante,Nante could you lend me your cap please ?" I requested.

She intensified her scowl that ran more lines into her face. " No" she clipped."No?" I questioned bewildered by the answer. Is this some kind of joke ? " No" she repeated.

This is a strange dream. No- Oh " Oh I see what I did wrong may-"

" Here just take it and go get out of my sight " she offered her cap.

" Thank you" I chirped and took her cap.

She sure has a big head. I heaved with every step I took to the public toilets. It took every ounce of strength to reach the bathroom stall.

Finally some rest!

At the worst moment my stomach growled in pain. Why is everything against me?

" Ah" I cried as I hunched over. I feel like shit ! " Hurry up if you're still alive " called the Vixen to add that up she kept banging on the door.

" And don't forget to clean up your mess in the truck I mean it " My stomach growled once again. " Ah" I followed procedure and I stood up then limped out of the bathroom to be confronted by the prison warden.
