The next day, Allen woke up with a killer headache.
"Ugh… I don't want to get up today really…" Allen said out loud, walking to his closet.
"Maybe, I can just go over to where they live today, I don't feel lie walking in the sun…" Allen said to himself.
Satisfied with his answer, he got out his casual wear, a red t-shirt, knee-high boots, black skinny jeans, white jacket, and white gloves.
He then went to his bathroom to put on a bit of concealer.
"Ugh, I feel sick." Allen said, pulling some meds out of his medicine cabinet.
He took a few pills from the bottle, and then swallowed them all dry.
Quite honestly, he was sickened by his appearance.
He had dark circles from lack of sleep, and stress. His nose was beat red, because it was stuffed and running. His eyes were rimmed red, from his eyes watering. And his skin was a sickly green. No concealer could hide that. His hair was also a knotted mess, of which, he didn't bother trying to get it undone.
"Must be the affects of the medicine I used yesterday…" Allen said. He didn't know using that medicine yesterday at the hospital would have done such a number on his health.
But it did, and that's the reality of things. He just had to deal with it.
But, today, was going to be a living hell for him, really.
First, it was terribly sunny. Second, he felt like shite. Third, he couldn't find Tim or Cross. But, no, he had to go out in the blazing sun and give sandwiches to complete strangers while he felt like he was going to shrivel up and die on the spot.
"Pouting won't do anything, guess." Allen said to himself, walking out the door. And hair, was too bright for him to handle. He put his hood on, he began walking.
It was a terribly beautiful day. The trees were bright bright green, the cars oon the street her shining with bright colors, and music booming out of them. The flowers in the neighbor's flower boxes were vibrant as always. A child and her golden retriever her playing in the sprinkler, which made a mini rainbow in the air. Bird were chirping and flying around, speaking to each other in their secret language. Yes, today was absolutely awful.
Allen was just waking at a fairly slow pace, but, he jus wanted to avoid being out in the hottest part of the day. It was only around 9:00 AM. He had a few hours before that kid would be waiting. What was his name… ah, Lika… yeah that was it.
His mind was a bit hazy from exhaustion. But, he would finish this small job, go home, and pass out on his bed.
He saw a little building in the distance.
'That must be it…' Allen thought lazily.
As he walked towards it, it was an abandoned home for orphans.
"Didn't this place close like, 6 years ago?" Allen wondered to himself.
Allen dismissed the thought, he could feel that someone was in there. If it was Lavi or not? Dunno, don't care.
He finally got to the front of the building. It was bigger than he thought. It looked to be about 3 stories high, and maybe, it had been abandoned longer than he thought. It had vines covering windows, or at least covering, window frames, the windows looked to be long broken. Some vines wet in side the building from the vines. It also looked like termites had long taken over. Most of the paint was chipped, but it was a strange blue color. Well, I guess it was strange because of strange colored mold covering a lot of the blue, but the blue was still there, but long forgotten.
He decided to go ahead and knock on the door, or atleast what was left of it. It was kind of cut in half.
He knocked, and there was movement in the building. But, no one came out.
"Hello?! I know you're in there! I'm not here to hurt you!" Allen shouted half-heartedly. Though, he felt like hurting someone, he probably wouldn't.
The door, swung open, and a gun was quickly shoved in his face.
"Don't move! What do you want with us?!" A kid, considerably shorter than Allen yelled.
Allen flashed a brilliant smile, "Soory,, I'm here to give some stuff to Lika." Allen said.
The kid was wondering what kind of idiot smiles to brightly while having a loaded gun to his head. Well, maybe it was filled with blanks, but, he didn't need to tell anyone that.
"What do you want to give to Lika?" The kid was still really cautious.
"Food, tell him Allen came to give him his food." Allen said, smile not faltering, but he was annoyed. It was starting to get hotter, at this rate, he was going to walk home in the beating sun, on the hottest part of the day.
"Okay, don't move!" The kid said, running inside, to get something, or someone. Allen sat patiently.
He heard walking, and then an irritated red head was standing in front of him.
"What do you want?" The now angered red head asked.
"Well, I don't think I can make it to the place me and Lika were supposed to meet up, so, I brought this ahead of time." Allen said, raising up the bag, and smiling slightly brighter.
"Thanks, anything else." Lavi asked still really really really annoyed.
"No, goodbye." Allen, handed him the bag, and walked off.
"Wait a sec," Lavi said, no demanded.
"yes?" It was Allen's turn to be annoyed.
Lavi put his hand onto Allen's forehead. "You have a killer fever, why bother coming here?" Lavi asked, somehow, more annoyed.
"I didn't want Lika to be waiting, I'll be fine." Allen said, starting to walk away again.
"Wait, I'll walk you home, idiot. Hold on a sec." Lavi said, walking into the house.
He came out a few moments later.
"You don't need to walk me." Allen said.
"Yeah I do. You were sick, and yet you still came to give us food, therefore, I owe ya one again. If I walk you home, I won't have to owe you anything." Lavi said.
"You should already know, I do these things because I want to, not because I want anything in return." Allen stated plainly.
"And you should already know, genuine kindness like that, doesn't really exist in this world." Lavi retorted harshly.
"Just because you haven't met anyone like that doesn't mean anything. They exist, I'm sure of it." Allen said, with a nice and sweet smile.
"Why are you so naïve? Look, I know you may not understand the hardships of this world, but it's not made up of rainbows and unicorns. I'm sure you were a spoiled rich kid, and you got everything you wanted. You were even Cross's kid for awhile. Your parents probably still send you money, isn't that the only way you can pay for those sandwiches. Well, the real world ain't that black and white kid, you gotta understand that someday." Lavi said.
Allen's hands were balled into fists. And his bangs were hiding his eyes. Lavi shouldn't have gone there. "Yeah, I guess." was the only response he gave. He didn't want to lash out on Lavi for not knowing. But, if he doesn't know anything, he shouldn't make such hurtful accusations.
"Sorry, if I struck a nerve, but you're not a rich boy anymore as far as I'm concerned." Lavi said, putting his hands behind his head.
Allen was trying really hard not to lash out on him. But, if Lavi made another accusation like that, he probably won't be able to take it. "Well, then, it doesn't concern you anyhow." Allen said, looking up at Lavi with a big smile. His hands were still balled in fists. And his smile, was terribly forced, but his teeth were so visibly clenched, he couldn't help that.
"Hey dude, sorry, you don't have to be so mad." Lavi said, half-heartedly.
"Well, I have to admit, you're the first to tell me something like that. But, please don't make accusations like that, we are strangers. I don't know you, you don't know me. It's as simple, as that…" Allen said, he was starting to calm down a bit now.
"Yeah, but, I can read a character pretty well. You can't lie to me. I know you were like that. That has to be the only reason you're so nice, and you act so oblivious to the outside terrors." Lavi stated plainly, like he was talking about the weather.
Allen snapped. "I think I'm going to walk the rest of the way by myself." Allen said, walking away quickly, he made sure to say 'by myself' louder than the rest.
"Uh, okay? Be safe, I guess." Lavi said indifferently, and he just walked away. He obviously didn't care either way.
"Hoow can he make accusations so horrible so easily about a complete stranger he literally met like, a week ago?" Allen silently asked himself.
Allen just huffed in response, and then walked up to his house.
He hit his face on the door. "I didn't know I was here already…" Allen said, dumbfounded.
He unlocked the door, stepped inside, and instead of the bed, he fell asleep on the couch. He started a dreamless sleep.
Okay! Suupppeerrr sorry! But, now I will continue weekly updates. Promise! And if I can't, I swear I will write something about it on my profile! So, every Tuesday like usual.
