Dougie
Chapter 2
My skin burned from the cold northern wind. I looked up to the park, it had something mysterious at this hour. No children playing, no laughter. It was dead silent, the only thing you could hear was a car in de distend and the birds sleeping. The fog made the look complete. It felt like a ghost town, a peaceful ghost town. I found a benches and snored in the cold wind. I Feld a chilling down my spine, two guys were talking in the faded away after a few times of " what did you do? " But I didn't care, I was frozen to the bench, frozen in my thoughts, in my own web. I never knew that I could think this much about nothing, about everything, about things that don't even matter anymore. I used to be a quick fix. Party it away a few times and then I could start over, but the parting didn't end this time, I went from one to the other, between gigs and signings I tried to stay sober. I had that much dignity.
"no, listen to me, she had it coming. The nosy bitch should have stayed playing with her dolls." I suddenly heard screaming. Its pitch dark, and the fog didn't help. I couldn't see who they were. He sounded like a young fella. But I wasn't sure, and what was it about? Disaster scenarios played in my head, did they kill somebody, where those the guys from 5 minutes ago that were yelling "what did you do?" are they going to murder me? Oh great I can see the headlines coming already 'depressive rock star killed' who'd care anyway. Stupid of me, I know the boys and the fans would but never mind.
"don't tell I warn you" I heard one of them whispering, they were right in front of me at this point, were they talking to me? I mean I can't see them so how could they see me? I held my breath and didn't move an inch. My eyes were wide open searching for even a silhouette but nothing. "I-I- w-won't-t" I heart in a stutter. They didn't see me? thank god. The footsteps continued and walked away slowly. What just happened, I asked myself. I got up, took my cellphone and used it as a flash light to search the whole park. I didn't see a thing apart from the swings that were going back and forward, making a screaking noise.
Those two guys probably just made plans to pull a joke on one of their sisters who told on them. I shrugged off and turned around, locked my phone so my flash light wouldn't keep on burning causing my battery to die. Slowly I walked back to the house. My toes were frozen and it made walking difficult, once back to the house I could see that there weren't any lights burning anymore. I looked at my phone, well no shit its already 2 A.M. I grabbed my keys from my pocked and tried to open the door as silent as I could. of course old doors never open silent, it sounded as if I bombed the place instead of trying to be silent. On the tips of my frozen toes I walked upstairs to my room and searched the heat of my electric blanket.
Trying to forget the whole night I closed my eyes hoping that tomorrow I would have a good day. Since they were coming more and more I figured wishing for it on the bad nights could only help. I took one last deep breaths dimmed the lights and let the ticking from the tree om my window drift me to sleep. For once I was completely silent in my mind.
