Prosaic (Discontinued)

Chapter 2

I zip up my suitcase and turn to see Chelsea (my evening nurse), she was smiling a sad smile. She actually liked me, and didn't think I was crazy. I opened my arms and she stepped forward, giving me a hug. "I'm gonna miss you kiddo. You and your sarcasm," she joked. I let out a small chuckle. "Yeah, I'll miss you too Chels," I replied.

She let go of me and I grabbed my suitcase off my bed. "Do you happen to know who's picking me up?" I ask. She smiled a genuine smile. "Yes I do, but he said he wanted it to be a surprise," she said. "Oh, so it's a boy huh?" I smirked as she froze, noticing her little slip up. She sighed. "C'mon, lets hurry so I don't accidentally reveal anymore of the surprise," she said.

We walked out of the room and to the elevator, going down to the lobby so that I coupd get checked out. We got to the door and Chelsea stopped and hugged me again. "Be good, kiddo. As much as I like you, I don't wanna see you back here again," she said. I nodded and she gave me one last smile before walking off to assist her other patients.

I looked at the security guard through the door and he hit the button, causing a buzzer to sound and the door to be unlocked, but I didn't open it. I just looked out at the trees. Is this really happening? Am I really leaving? The buzzer sounds again. "Are you gonna go or not kid we don't have all day," the guard said. I smiled as it finally hit me. This is real. I'm finally getting out of here.

I took a deep breath and pushed open the door, walking outside, and finally feeling that fresh Aussie breeze. I looked around the parking lot, looking for a familiar face, and almost cried when I saw him. I quickly made my way over to him and jumped into his arms, holding on tightly. He laughed, hugging me back. "I missed you, too Arty," he said.

I pulled back and wiped away a few stray tears. I looked up to see his bright blue eyes also had tears in them, but of course he's too 'manly' to actually let them fall. "I missed you so much Apollo, you have no idea. What's happened the past 3 years? How've you been? How's mum?" I rushed. Yes, his name ia Apollo, and he's my twin brother. And yes, my mum named us after the Greek gods. She's kindof obsessed with Greek mythology. And when she found out she was having twins, a boy and a girl, she couldn't resist.

He laughed. "Arty breathe. I've been fine and Mum's fine too. The real question is what's it like being stuck in the loony bin?" he asked. I groaned. "Ugh! The food is terrible, one of my nurses hated me, and some of the people in there were actually crazy! Long story short, I'm really glad I'm coming home," I explained. He nodded. "Well, it's late. How about we go home, eat then get some rest for tomorrow?" he suggests, already putting my suitcase in the trunk of the car. "Why? What's happenong tomorrow?" O ask, getting into the passenger seat and strapping mg seatbelt.

"You'll see."
