"Umm Candice?" I questioned
"Yea Vic. Is it ok if I call you Vic?" She answered
"What no for you it's ok you seem pretty cool. I was wondering if someone were to run like just keep running, about how far do you think the main road would be from here?" I ask nonchalantly
"Umm I dunno maybe like a mile. But anyways its really good to see another girl here with the same problem. Because to be honest Jamie is a pain in the ass. She is just so stuck up and bitchy-" she started to ramble before I cut her off.
"Well Candice I like you. I really think we should keep in touch I would love to get to know you. But if you excuse me I have to go." I say as I give her a hug.
"What are you talking about? Where-" Was all I heard her say before I took off running towards my freedom. I could hear Candice screaming in the background that it was probably pointless to run and something about a sniper, but I just kept running. I have to try Fuck this place I'm outta here! This backyard was a lot bigger than I thought it was because I felt like I was running for at least two minutes. Then as I'm running I feel a slight pain in my quad. Fuck I can't pull a muscle now so I keep running just not as fast anymore.
Next thing I know I'm running in the clouds with rainbow unicorns and dolphins. Whatever the side effects are to whatever the hell they drugged me with earlier have decided to kick in at the worst time ever. Finally I can see the fence between this hell hole and freedom. But my legs oh fuck they feel like jelly and my arms feel like cement. No! Damn it I'm so close but I can't run no more... No nope I'm going down. All of a sudden I fall in the clouds. Wait I couldn't have pulled a quad because it would hurt a lot more than a little pinch, and the talking zebra agrees.
So I reach to me quad and pull it out. Holy shit these fuckers hit me with a tranquilizer dart. That explains why the trees were cheering me on. Then I look up and Wile E Coyote handed me a box that said Freedom on it, then he opened it and BAM! A giant boxing glove shoots out and punches me in the face. Everything goes black and Fuck! Here we go again.
And that is all I remember from that day. When I woke up everything was numb and I couldn't move my right arm. Ugh my head hurts and I can hear a beeping sound. When I got back to my complete vision, it appeared that I was in a hospital and my right arm was in a sling while my left was cuffed to the bed. Damn it Aj she just had to send me to the rehab center run by psychos with dart guns.
"Well well well look what we have here! If it isn't our number one track star. How was your nap?" Asked Dr. Shelby
"Haha very funny, but if you don't mind." I said tugging on the cuff on my left arm.
"Oh man I have to say for it being only your first day yesterday you sure did make it memorable. But I gotta say the second time you ran was a close one, but we always get our man. When you went down you landed funny on your right side and you separated your shoulder that's why you have the sling. I don't know if you know this but we have tranquilizer guns that can shoot over 30 ft, so add to the fact we have two expert snipers on crew. Well it all adds up to making sure nobody escapes on foot." He chuckled.
"You all should be in a mental ward. Who shoots people with dart guns anymore?"
"Well maybe you shouldn't keep trying to run away." He replied
"Ugh whatever. I'm hungry when is dinner?"
"Well you missed dinner, it is nine am it's breakfast time now. If you like I could get someone to bring you up some food."
"Nine am! What the fuck do you mean nine am! When I went for my... Daily jog it was only like five pm." I said in disbelief
"Yea those tranquilizer are some powerful things!" He smiled.
"I hate you all seriously I hope you all fall off a cliff and die."
"Aww well we like you to Victoria. Anyways since you are going to be stuck here for a while I will get someone from your group to bring you some breakfast." He said as he began to leave.
"Well can you hurry I'm starving." I yell after him, but he's gone. So here I am again tied to a bed and starving. Atleast I can still watch TV... Wait no I can't my arm is still in a sling and it hurts when I move it. Well I guess it's just me, myself, and I.
After about five minutes I decide to sing a song.
"Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder...
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight" I sang out loud only to have a voice interrupt me.
"Umm hey who sings that song?" Randy asked as he walked in.
"Umm some girl named Vanessa I think."
"Yea let's go ahead and leave it that way." He smirked.
"Oh well fuck you too. Where's my food?" I ask
"Oh Candice has it she said she thinks I might drop it so she wouldn't let me carry it." It was as he finished Candice walked in holding a tray of food.
"Yea and I can carry it myself." She said as she walked over and placed the tray down on the food try next to the bed. "Well hey it's nice to see you decided to come back. I knew you wouldn't be able to stay away for long!" She giggled
"Well I didn't really have a chance, did you guys know they have dart gun snipers?" I asked sarcastically
"Well I tried to tell you but you wouldn't listen and kept running." Candice shrugged.
"Besides if we didn't know before we know now! But that's funny when Candi told me what happened, you really don't want to be here huh?" Randy chuckled
"Well it doesn't matter now because I can't run nowhere for a while." I sigh as I gesture to my arm. "Besides I figured the faster I cooperate the faster I get to go home. Plus I don't really like being drugged."
"Yea they don't play around when it comes to trying to run away." Candice spoke
"I know that now. But what did you guys bring me I'm starving!"
"Well we weren't sure what you like so we got you the basics." Randy said as Candice moved the bed table over my lap so I can see what was on the tray.
"We weren't sure if you were vegan or a vegetarian so we got you pancakes, a bagel with either cream cheese, butter, or jelly. Then you have your choice of cereals from Corn flakes, Frosted flakes, Froot Loops, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. All complete with your choice of whole milk, 2% milk, Soy milk, orange juice, or apple juice." Candice smiled.
"I told her to just get you Corn Flakes and a box of raisins, but she insisted on bringing you half the breakfast bar." Randy shrugged before Candice playfully hit him.
"Well we don't even know what she likes. Anyways what did you want to eat?" She asked
"Umm the pancakes would be nice I guess... Wait there aren't any sedatives in here right because I kind of want to remember my time in here." I ask weirdly not really wanting to be drugged again. Only to have Candice laugh in response.
"No there aren't any drugs I made sure of it. Anyways do you need help eating or do you have it?" She answered
"Now how in the hell do you expect her to eat when one hand is cuffed to the bed while the other is in a sling?" Randy said
"Oh yea you're right Randal. I didn't see her left hand, well good thing we're here to help you eat!"
"Look I really don't care what you guys do, but will somebody please put that food into my mouth!" I say tired of hearing them talking.
"Alright jeez women calm down!" Rady huffed. Candice then began to slowly cut the pancakes into with sections, while Randy slowly poured the syrup on top. I see what they are doing and it isn't fair.
"Seriously can you guys go any slower?! I'm starving!" I rant impatiently
"What are you talking about we're just preparing your food so you can eat." Candice said innocently.
"But you are taking forever!"
"Ok fine if that's the case then do it yourself. Come on Candi let's go because somebody doesn't appreciate our generosity." Randy spoke as he and Candice started to get up to leave.
"No I'm sorry please help me!" I plead. I hate having to depend on people, but at this point I have no choice. They then both sat back down on the bed.
"Do you promise to cooperate with what we tell you?" Asked Candice
"Fine but please feed me before I die." To which they both smiled as Randy used the fork to pick up a piece of the pancake.
"Chuga chuga chuga chuga chuga chuga choo choo! Open up for the food train!" He cooed as he directed the fork towards my mouth and I just glared at him. "Aww what's the matter does wittle Vicky not wanna pway awong! You have to pway or else you won't eat." He smiled enjoying every minute of this.
"I hate you!" I said before I ate the food off the fork. Then Candice took her fork and started to fly it towards my mouth.
"Neeeeer neeeeer! Open up for the yummy nummie pwane!" She cooed to which I did because I was starving. This went on until I finished eating the pancakes. And every other thing I wanted to eat until I was full.
"I hope you two had your fun because I'm not going to let you guys get away with this." I say seriously.
"Aww is wittle Vicky upset!" Candice pouted.
"Yes actually I am. Was it necessary for y'all to talk like that the whole time?"
"Yes it was actually, we're just messing with you. Besides it was funny!" Randy chuckled
"Good I'm glad it was funny to both of you, just you wait." I warned
"Ok whatever you say Vic. And you're welcome for bringing you food." Candice spoke
"Yea and for feeding you!" Randy chimed in.
"Yea thanks I guess, but if somebody could be a doll and get the remote for me that would be great."
"I could, but I have my one on one in about five minutes so I going to get going. Doc says I'm getting better and sooner or later I will be sober long enough to file for visitation rights. Then soon I can get out of here and start a new life." Randy smiled.
"Well that's good for you! I'm proud of you." Candice said as she gave him a hug.
"Yeah that's good, if you leave before me will you take me with you?" I question seriously only to have Candice playfully hit me
"And to think you would learn your lesson from trying to escape this place. And besides you can't both leave me here alone. I don't really like the others in our group none of them are exciting. Especially not as fun as you Vic I can never tell what you are going to do next, you keep me on my toes." She giggled. She is so cute when she giggles, I really don't know how she would possibly end up in here. But I got nothing but time to find out why.
"Well you're welcome I guess." I smirk
"Yea everybody finds me to be very interesting person." Randy said as he got up and headed to the door
"Wait Randy! Can you take the tray with you please?" Candice pouted as she held the tray out for him to grab.
"Only because I think you're pretty." He sighed as he took the tray from her.
"Thanks you're the man Randy!"
"And don't you forget it!" He smiled before he left the room leaving it to be me and Candice alone. To which she then turned the TV on.
"Is there anything you want to watch in particular?" She asked
"Umm I don't know I'm usually still passed out somewhere or I'm at work this early in the morning." I shrug
"Oh where do you work if you don't mind?
"Well surprisingly I own my own car shop called Black Widow Customs. Where we fix cars and motorcycles, I love fixing things. I'm a very hands on person if it's broken I could probably fix it."
"Oh well why is it that doesn't surprise me. So is it safe to assume that you own a very fancy car or motorcycle?"
"Yea I own a orange and black Suzuki Hayabusa. But I don't ride it as much as I like because you can't ride it when you are drunk or in jail." I shrug missing the days where I would just ride my bike just for fun.
"Oh well maybe one day when we get out of here you can take me for a ride." She said in a hopeful voice
"Yea sure I don't see why not."
"Cool I've never been on a motorcycle before. I hope its as awesome as it seems!"
"Yea its pretty fucking awesome! I'm sure you will love it." I reassure.
Haha I guess you can never try to escape too many times! look like Vic for sure has at least two friends. Remember if someone helps you eat or buys food for you, you must love them forever no questions asked its just something to live by. -Joz
