"Pinky! I need a clean up at the front entrance! A kid spilt grape juice, and I don't want it stinking up the joint!" My manager called out to me in his booming voice that could probably be heard all around the store, and he seriously didn't need to yell that loud. I mean I could hear him if he spoke softer from a few yards away!
"Yes sir! I'm on it sir!" I told him though with a smile on my face and grabbed the mop I was already using to clean up a flour mess on aisle 4, holding it closer to myself and rolling the janitor bucket by me to where the spill is.
Though my manager was pretty much still on my butt, "hurry up! The grocery shopping rush will be here any minute, Pinky!" My manager was a prude man, very high maintenance and had no tolerance with laziness or messes. He has to be, maybe mid 60s I think... But his dark hair was graying a lot more then usual but besides his older features he was definitely the hardest worker here so it's best just to do as he says.
"Plus my name's not Pinky..." I grumbled to myself mostly as I dunked the mop into the bucket and began cleaning up the grape juice. But even if it annoyed me I just let. It slide and hummed to myself. Plus I guess it is understandable why he would call me that... My last name isn't easy to say sometimes and he refuses to call me by my first name cause of how "unprofessional" it is. Though I don't know what he means by that.
Plus it's not everyday you see a girl with bright long pink hair that looks practically neon and the fact that I just recently added orange streaks to it. To say my features and aspects are weird would be an understatement... My hair isn't the only odd thing about me because-
"Jeez what's got the boss man to be so uptight, huh Neko?"
I immediately looked up from my now broken concentration of cleaning this mess to see my coworker, Takeshi, restocking the post cards in front of me when he spoke my name. I gave a giggle and shook my head working back on cleaning, "what are you talking about, he's always like this!" I joked with him giving a wide grin and making sure the manager didn't hear.
Takeshi is young man who's a 3rd year in high school. Even though he's very older then me he's still a lot of fun to be around! He's also been working here part time for future college expenses for awhile and we kinda began working at the same time.
He has a generic look of black hair but long enough to the base of his neck and dark eyes that always just held a sort of happy shine to them! He's a good thing to happen in this grocery store if I do say so myself.
"Be careful that he doesn't hear you two talking about him behind his back. He's been in a much worse sour mood this past week." A female voice said to us as a word of caution.
Takeshi and I looked over at one of the cashier lines to see, scanning an older ladies groceries, Yua with an amused smile as she gave us both a quick glance. Yua was like the opposite of Takeshi. He's fun loving and jokester at work while she's more get the job done right away, but I think that's super cool! Especially since she's an actual college students and her dark blue hair and golden eyes looked like the night and stars!
They both wore the same employee uniform I did of a white polo shirt tucked into a pair of black slacks and a dark green apron with our names on our name tags pinned on our chests.
Takeshi's laugh made me look back at him still smiling watching him shake his head, "tell us something we don't know! He believes that the world is going to end and the apocalypse is happening soon so there will be a lot more customers rushing in! Even though we haven't had a rush since, well... You know what." He said using his thumb to point out the window and up towards the mid afternoon blue sky was.
I looked to where his thumb pointed to with a nervous chuckle coming out seeing the crescent moon. Now most of the time a crescent moon, or hey even just any time the moon came out during the day, was super pretty and nice! But not when you know what now happened to it...
A couple weeks ago, the moon just up and blew up! Like completely out of nowhere... And no news source knows why or how. They say that about 70 percent of it was destroyed somehow. So many theories have come out about what might've happened. Like maybe it was the government, or aliens, or the gravitational pull began to get too dense, or some astronaut began cooking and accidentally spilt his super spicy hot chili in the base's boiler room and it caused a reaction!
Okay maybe I thought of that theory, but you get the point! Chili is explosive and evil! Oh and that a good chunk of the moon is complete space dust.
Whatever happened to it was not good. Especially for what might happen to earth! I mean don't the waves use the moons pull to move, if I remember that correctly from science, and werewolves need it to be full to turn! Those poor wolves... Okay maybe I don't feel bad for them since wolves are scary and terrifying and just nothing but teeth. They aren't exactly my favorite animal...
"Yo! Earth to Neko, stop daydreaming again!" Takeshi's voice broke my thoughts once again! With also the addition of him whacking the top of my head with a pack of postcards!
I squeaked in response and rubbed my forehead also fixing the lavender colored beanie I was wearing on my head. I looked up at him and gave him a pout with a small glare from my red slanted eyes. "Jeez! What was that for?!"
"Didn't you even hear a word we were saying? You were two busy spacing out like a space cadet."
"Oh uh sorry bout that! Ehehehe... What were you guys saying?" I asked really flustered. I can't believe I just totally missed a full blown conversation by giving exposition!
Yua, now finished with an empty checkout line and looking at us with a slight eye roll, said, "we were talking about how the manager being completely worried is understandable. Considering what happened to the moon has caused global panic all over. We're lucky enough he didn't close down shop cause he was so panicky." She joked a little with a shrug though it wasn't entirely false, our manager was pretty high maintenance and a complete worry wart.
But thank goodness he didn't cause I need my jobs and money. A few other shops are still open but who knows if they're hiring still.
"By the way Neko, isn't it time for your break?" Takeshi asked me going back to work. I looked over at the clock at the front of the store entrance and saw it was 5:35!
That caused me to panic more then my manager! "Holy sweet potato Jesus! Why didn't you guys tell me sooner! I'm starving!" I said going now almost super cleaner speed to finish cleaning up the mess, then slamming a 'CAUTION Wet Floor' sign down all done!
"Well we would've if you weren't spacing out." Yua teased while scanning another customer's groceries when they came by, chuckling at my dismay.
I said nothing else but booked it over to the employees only supply closet and putting away the mop and bucket. Then I went over to the employee break room and went to the fridge where me and my coworkers kept our lunches that needed to be refrigerated. Opening it I looked for that special bento box that was going to satisfy my crazy hunger!
Finally I found that beautiful bento with the label 'Neko's food. Please do not touch'. Then I took it out from the fridge holding it close to my chest. I walked out of the break room humming to myself, just a random tune since I didn't know what else to hum, as I walked to this family bathroom at the back of our store. But there was a paper taped on the front with big letters 'OUT OF ORDER' sprawled in sharpie.
Looking around to make sure now was watching or looking, I took out my employee keys, unlocked the bathroom door, and ducked right on in! Quickly closing and locking the door behind me of course. The lights still worked, also the toilet and sink, so honestly I don't even know what's broken about it!
Yua told me it's been out of order apparently way before she even started working here, the manager never bothers taking down the sign and letting people use it. Except for the employees who like to sneak in here and...
Do something I guess? Cause I don't know what else anyone can do in here besides secretly eat your lunch in peace like what I do! Though I have smelt strange smells in here sometimes that I don't recognize... I think they're just someone's expired air fresheners that they use as a last resort after eating some super spicy curry!
Oh well, not my problem.
I just shrug and place my bento on the sink counter and look at myself in the mirror, inspecting my tannish skin on my face that definitely made the dark circles under my red eyes contrast hard. "I got to stop working late night shifts..." I mumbled to myself and then felt constriction against my beanie from the inside a top of my head.
Now remembering and knowing the coast was clear since I'm all alone in the bathroom, I looked up at the beanie in my reflection, grabbing the top tuff ball of it I pulled it off my head. It felt so nice to have it not covering most of my head! But what felt even better was when my ears were free to shift around and perk up and down.
You might be confused if you didn't read the summary, as to what the heck that means but to put it simply, the other odd thing about me is I don't have normal human ears, I have big old fluffy real cat ears on muh head! They were both pink like my hair and my right ear I even put an orange streak on it like my other streaks.
My names isn't just some bad decision my mom made in naming me. I'm not only named Neko but I am a neko! I'm a cat girl. Don't ask how I became like this because even I don't know since I've bee like this ever since I was little.
'But at least I'm not the only one like this. So I'm not alone!' I thought optimistically as my ears occasionally twitched to get the fuzz off of them from what the beanie left behind. I grabbed my bento and went to the seat covered toilet and sat on it now eating my glorious lunch.
It might seem sad that I eat lunch alone and in the bathroom, heck I could probably sing that song from that musical about a sad boy in the bathroom, but I don't mind. Yua and Takeshi have different hours then me plus it's nice to get my ears uncovered cause they get uncomfortable when trapped.
Since I'm eating and have nothing else to do, I just sit on the toilet seat and count the tiles on the floor swinging my legs back and forth. I could even hear customers talking on the other side or other coworkers passing by door with my highly enhanced hearing. Occasionally my ears would shift if someone was talking a bit louder outside of the bathroom but I kept eating and counting the tiles.
With not only my ears being sensitive, but my nose as well is much better then any normal humans! Though it's not as good as a dogs but then again that's probably the only best things about dogs...
Just the thought made me begin gnawing on my chopsticks with my sharp canine teeth, that are practically like fangs, out of habit. It's hard to imagine though being not this super enhanced but I think it might be easier too. I could go to school normally! Get a stable career without having to constantly worry about my hat blowing off and being sold off to the circus! I could actually feel maybe a complete feeling...
"Great now I'm getting sad..." I mumbled as my ears flattened against my head and placing my chopsticks now in my empty bento box. Placing it on the floor, I brought my knees up to my chest and brought on lock of pink and orange hair I front of me and began braiding it poorly.
I have friends, a job, but why do I still feel so empty? Like something has been missing in my life and I just can't find it? But what could it even be that I'm looking for?! A purpose maybe?
Growling and undoing the messy braid, I exasperatingly throw my hands up in the air yelling out, "I am a stinking pink haired cat girl in a grocery store bathroom! I am happy, darn it! I got my life, kinda, together!"
Key word, 'kinda'. But no more of that!
Patting my cheeks hard till they sting and probably turn red with blood rush, I pushed down those negative thoughts and got up from the porcelain throne! I took my bento box and headed back to the sink where I left my beanie on the corner of the counter. After washing my hands and the box, I put the knitted hat on and made sure my ears were thoroughly tucked. It always feels uncomfortable for the first few seconds hiding them again after freedom but oh well, I don't make the rules.
Now finished and ready, I knew there was a few minutes left in my break but no reason not to get a head start, I unlocked the bathroom door slowly opening it and peaking my head out to make sure the cast was once again clear. Once now out of the bathroom I slowly closed the door behind me, re-locking it. But suddenly I heard fast footsteps approaching me and panicked.
I tried to quickly walk away from the door but after a few steps away I hear the loud voice of my manager that made me freeze and I could feel my hair and ears puff up from surprise, "Pinky there you are! Is your break over yet cause I need you to throw away some empty boxes from shipment!"
Quickly I spun around to face him and clasped my hands in front still holding my bento box. "Uh my break just ended sir. I'll get right on that!"
And just like that I ran off to go do the task he said. Seriously right after I eat and I'm not even completely off break I'm back to busting my butt! That's work for ya I guess.
I had to quickly put my bento box back in the fridge, hopefully I don't forget it over night like last time, and ran to the back of the store where we get out shipments in. I already found the empty cardboard boxes he was telling me about and began stacking them inside one another and putting them all in the largest cardboard box so I just had to only care two large boxes with smaller ones inside.
Though it was still difficult to walk with them even if they were light. "Ugh! He couldn't have asked someone else to help me at least! I'm not that nimble!" I complained pushing open the back door to the store with my back. It lead to an alleyway that isn't so bad even though there was always glass bottles back here, a few cigarette butts and once in a blue moon I will catch the scent of old blood, but as long as it's day time it's not too scary.
Yet when I walked out into the alley, the sun is starting to go down so the shadows of the building casted over the alley making it look almost night time. Alright now it's pretty scary back here!
"Just quickly go to the dumpster and throw this stuff away..." I grumbled to myself and walked over to the dumpster that was against the side of the building. There was a few bottles near it, some older cardboard against it too and I'm pretty sure I just saw a big rat the size of my head! I chase mice, but rats are the devil!
Opening the lid of the dumpster I began throwing out the boxes, until I heard the sound of footsteps coming from the opening of the alley to the side walk. I'm sure though it's just somebody walking along the street past the sidewalk... But there was a bad feeling in my stomach that made my ears go flat.
'Just quickly throw these away and run back in the store...' I thought to myself trying to focus. But the sound of a glass bottle falling on the ground and low chuckle made me freeze and sweat nervously.
"My my myyyy hello young miiiisss~~" A deep male voice suddenly said slowly, and I praying that it was just my imagination.
But, I was curious to look, and of course curiosity killed the cat...
When I looked over at the entrance I saw an older man, probably mid 40s staggering through the entrance of the alley with weird haze look in his eyes. He was a couple of yards away from me but the stench of alcohol was so strong he could be right in front of my face!
"Um s- sir... Are you okay? D- do you need some assistance?" I asked nervously. All I wanted to do was run inside the store and lock the door, but I didn't want to leave him here. What if he passed out and hurt himself. It's not the first time I've seen a drunk person since I've seen them come through the store, but most of the time Takeshi or the manager would handle them.
The man stopped and looked confused by my question till I think it clicked what I just said, "assis- ohhhhh yeaaaahhh! Yeeees I do sweetheart~. Can you help meeee?"
He began walking back over to me and I gulped scared now gripping my hands on my chest. "Uh well I c-can go get my manager or coworker to come here and help... They can bring you a phone so you can call someone..." I began telling him and looking to the side behind me seeing how far away the door to the store was.
But that was a bad move cause the minute I looked away and gave notice to my focus of escaping, the drunk man suddenly grabbed my shoulder hard. I looked at him surprised and seeing his hazy eyes and face so close to me. The smell of the liquor now was so strong it made me wanna vomit.
But with that look in his eyes I can't describe, but I recognized. Then it was like his look began to change when I was staring at it. The image projected over him before thickening to a face I knew. A face that wasn't clear as I've been trying so hard to forget, with his hazy eyes turning ice blue...
No... Please no...
My knees were shaking when glimpses memories were flashing in front of me, but I can't let this happen! I cried out in almost a scream and pushed the man away as hard as I could. He was thicker and definitely heavy so I couldn't push him away easily, and with how heavy he was added to my nerves shaking, I tripped on a box and fell right to the ground.
I let out a squeak when I landed groaning I the pain I felt on my backside. But before I could focus again, the feeling of what happen before came rushing back! Me being pinned, ice blue eyes staring down at me, a tight grip on my wrists and pressure on top of me that I felt like I couldn't breathe!
I can't breathe! My heart, it feels like it's going to burst!
That grip on my wrist suddenly became real when I finally opened my eyes, looking through the blurred vision of tears that was pooling in them. I could see that drunk man now holding my sweating wrist, towering and crouched over me. My ears were so against my head I could hear my own heartbeat and I wanted to vomit even more.
But I was just frozen!
"Come oooooon~~ you said you would heeeeelllp me and I need heeeelp~~~!" His words slurred as his smile grew more. He was pulling me closer to him as my body felt like a statue.
I have to scream! Scream louder so maybe someone walking on the sidewalk outside of the alley could help me! But I can't move! I can only shake! My voice isn't coming out and it feels like my throat is so tight! I closed my eyes hoping this all to be a bad dream!
Was being saved the first time just luck?! Nobody knows I'm back here! I wanna fight back but I can't move like last time! Someone... Please... Help me!
"Oh you need help~? Let me help you with some decency~." A sudden new voice stated that sounded younger then the man and playful before the sound of glass shattered and I heard a cry in pain before the smell of blood hit my nose suddenly. I opened my eyes once more to see the drunk guy letting go of my wrist to to reach and hold the back of his head. Where there was blood dripping down between his fingers.
He was beginning to fall forward, and I guess the shock of what just happened unfroze me so I scooted back a bit from as to make sure he didn't fall on me. The guy was still awake and moving as I could hear him groan in pain. I watched him hold the spot that was bleeding tightly with some glass in his hair. I began to feel a bit bad for him since that's gonna need stitches probably...
Then I remembered what he was about to do and that remorse left.
Laughter now filled the noise of the alley coming from in front of me, behind where the drunk man was. I was scared of who could be in here now! What if it was another creep here to do something worse! Well it did sound young... Then what if it was a delinquent here for cash! I'm broke as a joke, I haven't made it to payday yet!
"Oh come on! That's all it took to take you down? If you're going to try and hurt someone, at least have the strength to back it up~." Oh dear potatoes! This guy sounds insane which is even worse! His tone of voice made him sound so sadistic and cocky at the same time. Well I mean he did shatter glass on a guy's skull so yeah, I guess you do have a right to be cocky.
But he sounds intimidating! He sounded like he enjoyed that and was disappointed that this guy wasn't getting back up faster! I'm honestly too scared to look at him or even speak! It might just be the mix of everything that's going on and the adrenaline that's been running through me right now.
My breathing is still rapid and my body still feels like a ton of weights. With also my hand that was grabbed gripping my chest, I could still feel my body shaking like a leaf. I still want to say thank you but it was hard with my throat still tight.
'I have to see what my rescuer still looks like!' I thought determined. Maybe a stereotypical delinquent with scars on his face and tattoos, and a baseball bat on his back! Though if he had that why would he use glass?
Okay! No more internal monologue that is taking too long! Now or never!
I kept my eyes tightly closed as I lifted my head slowly, then when I felt like it was okay to open them I did. Looking up slowly from gray pants that looked like school uniform pants, to this white button up shirt that didn't look button at the top, but this guy wore a black blazer on top of it. Finally I got to his face... When I did, I saw who my savior was.
And the moment I looked right at him, I immediately felt my whole body freeze again and the world stop around me but then my heart quickened! But this time not out of fear or panic, but the way how looking at him suddenly made everything in the world seem brighter. Like the world I was living in before I saw him was dull and grey, lifeless almost. Though now all of a sudden, my whole world was full of color!
That incomplete feeling I felt earlier was gone! I was now feeling whole... I thought I was exaggerating earlier about how I felt but now I'm not so sure.
The way my rescuer's bright red hair shined with the sunlight in the background almost made him look glowing. Even his piercing orange eyes that matched with the sunset, looked like they were shining brightly. His smile was wide and sadistic, and it looked like it could send shivers down anyone's spine, although for me I just couldn't stop staring at him. I didn't mind though and wasn't afraid.
I must've been staring for awhile cause now those orange eyes were looking right into my eyes and that just made my heart beat more and jump a little with my ears going right up! He was looking right at me! What do I say?! I'm just staring at him, probably my mouth open like a stupid codfish! Come Neko say something!
"That doesn't look too bad. Shouldn't take too long to heal, as long as you don't put any strain on it." My rescuer advised suddenly no longer looking into my eyes.
"W- what?" I mumbled out as I followed his gaze seeing he was looking at my wrist that was pressed against my chest. It was the same wrist that the drunk man had grabbed tightly.
It already was really red with a hand print around it and there was stinging sensation to it... Wow did he really grab it that hard that it's already bruising? Now that I'm aware of my surroundings and feeling things clearly, my butt also hurts. Probably from falling so suddenly.
I looked back at my rescuer and was about to say something, like maybe a 'thank you', or maybe 'I'll be okay.', how bout 'can I get your name and number even though I don't have a phone and probably won't see you again!'
Though he kept looking at me, expecting me to say something too which made me more nervous to talk. "Um... I- I uh... Um t- thank-" But his smile turn to sudden amusement when I was stammering and getting flustered! I can't help it! No one's ever made me feel this way and all of this is so sudden! One minute I'm being attacked and having a panic attack then the next I'm saved and he suddenly made me feel so complete. And I don't know why or even who he is!
"What's going on back here?!" My ears perked up and shifted under my beanie when Takeshi's voice came in and I looked to see he had come out with Yua. Both of them looked surprised when I could see them both looking between me, the guy passed out in front of me, and the red head. "What happened?!" Takeshi questioned now looking at my savior like he was trying to threaten him but his amused smile smirked more.
Takeshi was taller then him cause he was older but that didn't seem to faze him either. Yua came up next to me and quickly took my hand and was inspecting my wrist while I watched both boys.
"Oh no need to be so worked up~. I was just saving her from that drunk guy, which you really shouldn't allow a weak girl like her go to back alleys unless you're just asking for something to happen." Did he just call me weak?! Okay true I did kinda need saving... "Also you might wanna call the police and maybe get this guy to a hospital before he wakes up~." He said as though he was proud of what he did as he dropped the bloody broken bottle piece he used to save me.
Then just like that, my rescuer turned away and began walking out of the alley. He turned right when he left out of the alleyway, and immediately that incompleteness I felt came back. I wanted to stop him, I wanted him to stay. I didn't even get to say a complete sentence to him! But now he left before I could even know his name.
"Yua, take Neko inside and check on her. I'll call police to get this guy out of here." Takeshi sort of ordered, and I could tell he was not happy at all. Though I don't know why... Was he mad at the guy who rescued me or maybe because I nearly got assaulted. He bent down to the drunk man and checked his pulse and head.
Yua's hand on my shoulder broke me out of my thoughts and looking at her kind assuring smile but I didn't know what to do... I just smiled a little back as she helped me up, leading me back inside to the store. I didn't even look behind me at Takeshi and the man.
When we came back inside and at the back of the store, I couldn't help but still keep that image of the guy who saved me in my head. How everything just felt so right in the world with him and I don't even know who he was... What is this feeling...? I want to find out and feel it again. Maybe that's how I'll know what this is.
"We should tell the manager what happened and you're gonna need to wait here Neko so you can tell the police. Don't worry I think you should just wait in the waiting room... I'm sorry this happened to you-"
"Hey Yua," I interrupted Yua half listening to what she was saying. I looked at her and smiled kindly now knowing what I needed to do, "can you finish up my shift. I need to do something."
Then without even waiting for an answer, I ran through the store and out the front entrance. Looking around I went to where the entrance of that alleyway was, still seeing Takeshi there and the man propped against the wall holding a towel to his head, so he was alive... Great... But they didn't notice me.
I kept running to where I saw the red head go and knew that the only thing this way was the train station. I want to see him again. It's like my body needs to or else I won't be myself anymore.
Hopefully I didn't just miss him if he hopped on a train! I kept looking around panting hard when I stopped at the entrance. People kept looking at me strangely considering I was looking all over the place. "Did I miss him?!" I asked myself sniffing the air for a scent. I don't remember what his scent was cause that alcoholic's breath masked everything, so I have no way of finding him... "Great..." I muttered feeling my ears go down, but the perked right back when I heard the sound of a couple screams and something in me told me to go there.
I walked over that direction to see two boys run past me looking scared. From what I just went through and what that guy was like, I can only assume he might've scared them.
Looking up ahead, that's when I saw familiar red hair walking through the gates. I smiled excitedly seeing him again and already I could feel something come back inside me, however before I took a step forward, that's when I took notice over the heads that moved away he wasn't alone. A small blue haired girl with pigtails was walking next to him.
'Does he have a girlfriend?!' I thought watching them both walk past the gates and talking. I mean maybe she's not his girlfriend cause a boy and girl can be friends with each other without any feelings! Plus why do I feel a bit of a twinge in my heart at the thought he was taken but I still don't know why... Maybe cause I wanted to talk to him again but he's busy.
They were beginning to walk further and I had to keep following them. However I don't want them to see me so I stayed a bit further behind them, and a bit away so I can stay behind a few pillars if need be. Pulling out my orange wallet from my pocket, I scanned my train pass since I go on a train to get home here an kept following them.
With my sensitive hearing I began trying pick up what they were saying. It was kind of hard to with my beanie still on but I got some of what they were saying.
"Well I don't think he actually hates being called octopus honestly. When he grades our tests he likes to doodle an octopus, plus in some games his avatar is an octopus. and just the other day he made an 'octopus trap' joke in the sand box. I think he likes it cause it's like his brand or something." The blue head was talking about and... I have no idea what this conversation was!
Why are they talking about someone who likes octopus a lot?! Okay I mean I like fish a lot and I like making cat people my avatar, but that makes sense! This does not.
They got to where the train would stop and I quickly hid behind a close vending machine and peeked over to see that the red head placed a hand on his head as if he was thinking, but there was a smile I didn't recognize appear. Something almost amused yet sadistic. Sort of like when I saw him towering over my assaulter.
"I see... Oh this is going to be perfect~. I got this crazy idea." He said and his shoulder shook a little with his chuckle. I watched him with curiosity, tilting my head to get a better peek.
"I know that look. What are you planning, Karma?"
Karma. That's his name? His name is Karma...
I smiled a little cause I really like his name. It honestly suited him in a weird ironic way. Not even paying attention to their conversation anymore, I looked back to where they were and I couldn't even hear what they were saying if I wanted to as the train came roaring by loudly canceling any talking I heard even if I tried hard.
But when I did look, Karma's face gave a psychotic feature with a wide smile and his eyes shined brighter from when I first saw them. It was a scary image to anybody else passing by, and the smaller girl looked frozen. However, I didn't feel that fear or that hard to breathe feeling I got earlier...
In fact as I watched him, my heart thumped even louder in my chest again. Slowly I pried myself away from looking at him and leaned against the vending machine feeling my face heating up tremendously. I placed my hand with its wrist still forming the bruise on my chest to confirm the loud beating in my chest.
Who was he? I now know his name, but I want to know more... I need to know more or I think I might go insane. Why do I feel like this? He's different from any other guy I've talked to... Could it be because he saved me? Or is there something more...
I began walking over to the other train I took home stopped at as I made up my mind. I am going to try my hardest to learn more cause this makes me feel like I have a purpose. 'I want to be with him...' I grinned at that thought, as giggles escaped my throat though I tried stopping them by covering my mouth. Yet it just made me so happy. This purpose. 'I need to know him. I will get to know him. No matter what.'
