freakshow

back again

I wake up in a small room, and I can hear this erie carnival music. Where am I? What happened? I sit on this brightly colored bed, slowly starting to remember what happened.

"Hey you're awake!" Someone says. My head is pounding and my throat's dry. I feel a warm liquid leaking down the side of my neck. I reach up to touch it when... "Hey hey hey don't touch it. I'll get it." The man says. He grabs a warm wet cloth and wipes off the blood. "Where am I? Who are you-" Than it hits me. He's the man from the freak show. The one that was so kind to me. Shoot. What about my mom? Does he know about her? What am I gonna do? I feel warm tears falling down my cheeks. "No no don't cry. It's okay." "Who are you?" The crying had stopped at that point. Something about him is almost...comforting in a way. "My names Jimmy." He says. That's right! Jimmy. "We met at the show remember?" "Yeah yeah I remember." My head is aching so mad that I can barely think. I look around trying to figure out my surroundings. "It's ok darlin', we'll take care of you." He says smiling. His smile is warm and comforting. "What about my mom?" I ask, starting to panic. "It's okay I took care of it." He replies. "You're a fighter y/n. I like that."

4 hours later

I've been in Jimmys trailer for about 9 hours now I think. He's introduced me to mostly everyone else, but there are still some people I haven't met. Right now I'm writing in my journal about...well everything. About Jimmy, My mom, My dad, The freak show. Everything. I hear the door handle start to open, and I quickly hide the journal in my bag. Thank god it's just Jimmy. "You okay?" He says while laughing a little. "Wha- what do you mean?"
"You seemed a little panicky when I walked in."

He looks down at my bag and I notice that my journal is sticking out. I lightly shove it farther back into my bag. "Is that what you're so worried about? A book?" He asks. "No no i'm not haha..." I tried to lie, but i've never been too good at lying. "Let me see." He says smiling. "No no no no no" I say back. "Come on let me see ittt." He whines doing little puppy dog eyes. "Nope not gonna happen jimmy." "Aw why not?" He says while getting closer to my face. "Because it's a secret." I whisper. "I'm good at keeping secrets y/n, but fine you don't have to tell me. I'll get it out of you soon enough." He winks at me and then walks out of the trailer. I fall back onto the bed, and take a quick nap.

I soon wake up to a knock on the trailer door, and the sound of a woman's voice. "y/n wake up dear it's time for dinner." She says through the door. Great...just what I need.
