Hidden Bruises and Hidden Feelings: chapter 3
The hole team bonding thing was going good. About twenty minutes into the trip Rob's phone ran out of battery, meaning he was forced to stop talking to Barbara. So he started to hang out with me. It made me feel a little better, knowing that I was at lest second on his list of best friends.
On our exploration of Happy harbor we stopped at the mall and I taught Conner just how fun an arcade could be. He did break a few of the games, but Rob payed the owner and we got out with almost no damage done. We then walked on the beach, You can guess who's idea that was, and we had to dragged Kaldur away when he started to lecture a kid on why he shouldn't have thrown his candy bar raper into the ocean.
Then we went to a book store. M'ggan bought a cook book, and Artemis bought some book she needed for school.
And last but not lest we stopped for some food! When we were walking out of the book store we saw a little pizza shop across the street, and to my delight everyone agreed that we should stop for some pizza. We sate at one of the tables outside, empty pizza boxes covered the table. My five team mates had finished three pizzas, while I ate about four on my own. I was finally feeling better. Little did I know that my happiness would be short lived.
"How do you eat so much food?" M'ggan asked looking at me with an expression of amazement and disgust.
"Speedster remember? I need to eat to keep my energy up." I answer as if it was obvious.
"But the flash doesn't eat as much as you and he is still faster." Conner pointed out.
You want to know the truth? I eat a lot when I'm with you because my abusive father starves me! There was no way I was saying that out loud.
"Well I'm younger then he is so I need to eat more so I can keep up." I lied. It has become a very common thing to lie to my friends through my teeth.
Conner just looked at me for a moment, I was beginning to think he was going to press further into the matter when he spoke again. "Yeah I guess I get it." He said in his normal flat tone.
I smiled, happy to know that I wouldn't have to cover my lie with another one.
"So what should we do next?" Robin asked. He looked a little bored and I could tell he wanted to do something adventurous.
"Oh!" I shouted as an idea came to my mind. I stood up to propose my idea. "What if we go and- oops." I blinked down at Artemis who was now covered in my soda. I had accidentally knocked it over when I abruptly stood.
"Wally you idiot! Look what you did!" The archer shouted, a scowl fixed on her face.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean-" She cut me off.
"Oh yeah right! I bet that was on purpose!" She snapped.
"It was just soda!" I said raising my hands in the air.
"But this was a new jacket!" She yelled back. "My mom is going to kill me!"
"Wow Arty! Calm down!" Robin chimed in. "I'm sure he didn't mean to do it."
"Well if Kid worthless over here could do something right for a change then I wouldn't have a reason to not be calm!" She shouted not thinking about her words.
At that the rest of the team went silent. And not just the team, the other customers were all looking at our table, along with a few waitresses, and the random guy walking down the street. It seemed like the whole world was on mute.
I had thought for a while that my friends might think of me the same way my Dad did, but this was the first time anyone had said it out loud. It hurt. It hurt a lot!
Artemis' eyes were just as wide as mine, as if she just realized what she said.
"Wally I-" She started. I began to back away. Her words echoing in my head all the people looking at me. I couldn't stay here. I turned and began to run at a normal human pace, but as soon as I was far away enough from all the eyes that were watching me I ran at my top super speed. I needed to get far away.
Artemis' P.O.V.:
How could I have said that to Wally? I know the two of us aren't the best of friends and I pick on him a lot, but that doesn't mean I hate him. I had never said something like that to anyone before, and he was right it was just soda. I should have calmed down. Stupid anger issues! I had to get that checked out.
After I exploded and Wally ran off no one said anything. Everyone just sate there with disappointed looks.
I then got up and left for the closest zeta beam. I had to find Wally.
When I got to the mountain I had looked in the kitchen and entertainment room, but there was no Wally.
That brought me here. To his room.
I approached the door to his room and knocked softly on it.
"Wally are you there?" I asked, but got nothing but silence in return.
"Wally I'm really sorry." Still no response.
"Look Wally I know your mad at me and I deserve it. I shouldn't have over reacted like that. I'm really sorry!" it was still completely silent on the other side of the door. Was he even in there?
"Wally?" I put my hand on the door knob. I don't know what it was but I felt something pulling me to open the door.
I turned the knob and slowly opened the door. I greeted bye a normal looking room void of any life.
I sighed. Great. Where could he be? Maybe he went home.
There was no telling when I would see him again, and when I did he probably wouldn't want to talk to me.
I could leave him I note! I walked over to his desk and picked up a note pad. I then looked around for a pen.
"Why would he have a note pad but no pen?" I asked out loud. "Oh wait here's one."
I walked over to the bed where a pen was sticking half way out from under the pillow.
Then I noticed something else.
I move the pillow to find a small black book.
I don't know what drove me to do it, but I opened it and began to read.
My curiosity getting the better of me.
