Chapter Seven

The aim was to wait and see if the brown haired male would turn up. Axel protested when I want out on my own today. He seems annoyed I really don't blame him though. I pulled out a cigarette and took one puff. I feel like hell. I'm probably in my own little Hell. Then again that dimension would be a great reprieve now.

Walking along the sidewalk or pavement. Cars drive by. My ears buzz a little from the sound. Someone pushes by. The cigarette drops out of my hand. A whole pile of photos and notes are in my pocket to remind me of where to go if I get lost. Best to keep those for emergencies.

I feel like I'm being followed but it doesn't bother me. Used to all kinds of weird feelings of being followed by things. It was drilled into my nature.

Need to buy a new journal. However, it can wait until the weekend. It's only Thursday, wrote that down on a note. Aware of eyes on me. Keep walking. Best to say keep running. At least I wouldn't feel awkward then. I lit another cigarette. No medication, that means I can do whatever I wanted with my life as long as I made notes on everything.

Walking down the street. Populated by people who think its fun to hurt others. Try and hurt me. Something I want to say to those idiots. Maybe they're watching me? Or is it someone else? I hate to think of it that way. Feeling freakish like always. Spluttering slightly. Funny. This is the only time I picked up a cigarette in a long time. Since I quit according to my journals.

"Watch it freak!" Someone pushes past me.

Looking at him now. Keep it in mind. Write it down. Boy with a beanie hat covering what looked like blonde hair. I picked up on attitude. Hate people like that. Wish they would realise how arrogant they are. Three other people beside him. They laugh. Ignore them. Flick ash in their faces. Do whatever! Music. Someone listening to an MP3 file on his or her personal player. Ignore that too. I have no music taste. Can never really remember what I listen to half of the time because of my condition. Feel left out because of this. Axel listens to music but it is often heavy. Not really into heavy.

A Shop's playing A Hard Days Night quite loud, drumming my fingers along to the music. I'll admit that when I hear this song I do feel better but that is it. Hate being like this. However I am not giving up on life yet. Damn it! Must not get stuck on life's problems. Want to help the presences that are haunting me. All accept one anyway. I resort to my journals a lot as you can probably tell.

The man with long, silver hair and evil eyes.

Something bothers me about him. Like I've seen him before but I am pretty sure I haven't. The chocolate haired boy is looking at me now. I turn to him. Flashes again. More about the scene with the screaming. He disappears. My eyes flicker open. On the street. Guess I'm on my own instead of with Axel.

Someone's calling to me. Probably Axel. Don't stop to look at him right now. Sorry Axel but I need to be on my own. I don't know why but I do. Stopped by someone. It isn't Axel. Azure blue eyes stare into mine. Not good to be talking to a presence no one else can see so I point to an alleyway. He nods, following me in.

"Do you know where I can find a man named Cloud Strife?" I shake my head negatively. Sorry but I don't know. However, the name sounds a little familiar. Suggest that we check out the hospital? That's what I did and he agreed. Oh well. Another goose chase. Seem to get myself involved in those quite often. Explain to the presence my problem. He helps me on my way to the Hospital although people keep staring at me as I continue talking to him. Keep looking at me! I don't care! That's what I want to say to them anyway. After all, it is rude to stare.

We're at the hospital now. Ask the receptionist for a room number for "Cloud Strife". Take out piece of paper and jot the room number down rather quickly.

I lead the presence into the room. He seems rather gentle. Wanting to know why he was sleeping next to me last night. Kept reading over that passage before I went out. Didn't say anything yet though. He talked to Cloud. Seemed that Cloud could see him too. He explained about his condition and also said he felt like a vegetable. Tears at my eyes. The presence seems to pick up on that. I stand outside. Waiting.
