Chapter 11 - Nightmare

Walking.

Just keep putting one foot after the other. Don't think, just walk away.

Was an unknown force controlling me? I was fighting myself.

When was I ever so impulsive?

I dreaded to think what I could do if I stopped.

I was cutting my way through the city to get to the metro in what felt like, seconds. Everything around was a haze, merely some white noise. Shapes shifting beside my passing body in motion.

Each step acquired more distance, the stretch from the house to myself held the past, present and what so delicately balanced in the future. Merging themselves back to their flowing state of normality after my whimsical flick of destiny.

It was time to forge anew. To let my mind free of being devoted to him..I loved him more than he ever would love me, and that was my childish fault that I was going to correct.

But. It's not like that would be easy of course.

His last words repeated in my mind like a rotisserie reminder..

"I..I can't live without you."

Those words will always be thick, and will always probably haunt me. But yet the feeling of freedom that I thought I would experience within this situation - was just a façade. The links we made will always be bonded - not matter how hard I try to forget.

Before I knew it, I was scanning my ticket through the metro gate. Dragging my luggage behind me.

Home sweet restaurant it is.

I reached in my pockets for my phone, switching it on. I was suddenly attacked with billions of notifications.

I quickly glanced at the time on the large clock to my left..his last message was 3 minutes ago. What the heck was so urgent?

Offline...those letters that made up that very word, twisted unfamiliarity in my gut instincts.

I shuffled my way through the back entrance of the restaurant, tugging my suitcase through and over the door frame. The silence about was deafening. Every inch of the hallway seemed to scream something wasn't right.
