"Hello?"
"Hey it's me." I spoke
"Well how nice of you to call us. I thought you were never going to talk to us again?!" Aj teased
"I need you to come pick me up and hurry its urgent."
"And why would I do that Victoria?" Aj sighed
"You gotta come now! A methhead escaped from the detox center and killed Dr. Shelby. I saw it he snapped his neck clean in half there was blood everywhere, it was bad. So now his ghost is going to haunt me." I said trying to sound sad
"Ok well when did it happen?" She asked
"Uhhh... A couple hours ago."
"Well if that's the case what took you so long to call?" She questioned. Damn it why did Aksana have to marry a lawyer!
"Umm.. I didn't know I had change for the phones and I didn't know where they were." I try to say as convincingly as possible.
"Mmhmm... Well let me talk to a nurse and I will come pick you up." Damn she's good
"You can't they are all dead or at the hospital." I said
"Ok seriously Vic I live to tell if people are lying and right now you aren't doing a good job at it. I'm not going to come pick you up." She said smartly.
"Ugh whatever April where is your wife I need to speak with her right now please."
"She is definitely napping right now."
"What it is 7 pm nobody takes a nap this late in the day! Seriously where is she this is very important." I said firmly
"Well you do when you wear a skin tight dress that makes you look sexy as hell. And after a very boring day in the office I'm full of energy. Leaving me no choice but to ravage your body over and over again." She said nonchalantly.
"Oh jeez ok... Umm first I seriously really did not need to know that. Two when she wakes up can you tell her to call me or whatever I need to talk to her." I spoke
"Ok will do. While I have you how have you been?"
"Well the staff here are way too happy, they have tranquilizer guns that make you see things, and now I have a separated right shoulder. How do you think I'm doing?" I replied.
"What do you mean they have guns and how the fuck did you separate your shoulder?"
"I don't really want to talk about it but long story short I was on my way home and they didn't want me to go so they shot me with a tranquilizer dart, I fell and apparently I separated my shoulder." I say plainly to which she just laughed.
"And to think you would have learned from the first time you tried to run. And all this happened in a span of two days." She chuckled
"Ugh whatever can you just tell Aksana to call me when she gets up."
"I guess, I make no promises. But if you excuse me I gotta go cook dinner for my baby for when she wakes up."
"Oh... What are you making?" I ask flatly not really wanting to know because I've stayed over there for dinner enough times to know that whenever Aj cooks it is something delicious. And I knew for a fact that whatever it is they probably don't serve it here.
"Umm I was thinking chicken Alfredo with shrimp." Damn it I knew I shouldn't have asked. I love chicken Alfredo especially when it has shrimp in it.
"... I hate you! Enjoy your stupid dinner. Don't forget to tell her. I will talk to you later bye." I say quickly before I hang up. Damn it now I'm hungry and I have a craving for chicken Alfredo and some apple pie. I like apple pie too. Well I guess I might as well continue looking for the dining hall.
So I head off back towards where we have group meetings and to my luck Jamie was walking in my direction so maybe she knows.
"Hey Jamie right? It doesn't matter what your name is, can you tell me where the dining hall is?" I ask nicely. She just gave me a dirty look.
"It isn't rocket science you can find it yourself. God maybe you should just go look at a map.. Unless you don't know how to read one!" She spat. I'm not one to take disrespect from some blonde bimbo who I've never even talked to before. So I got right up in her face
"Listen here you little bitch I don't know you nor do I care who you are. All I know is you better lose the 'tude before I give you somthing to have an attitude about." I warn
"Ha we'll see." And with that she walked away going wherever the hell she was going. She is lucky my arm is in a sling because it took everything I had not to shove my fist down her throat. But I remembered why I was here in the first place to control my anger. So I just kept walking and luckily Alex was standing by the elevators maybe he will help me.
"Hey Alex do you mind helping me out real quick?"
"Uh sure whats up?" He responded nicely. Its good to know he not an ass.
"Do you mind helping me find the dining hall? I don't really know where it is."
"Umm yea I'm actually headed there now so come on." He spoke as the elevators opened and he pressed the up button. We were on the second floor.
The doors finally opened it was a one way hallway which led to the right. So I followed him and we walked down the hallway. We passed a set of vending machines one with snacks and the other with drinks. We then passed the bathrooms, and then it opened up into a rather large room like the size of a ballroom. It was full of many different patients, nurses, and guards, if I had to estimate there were at least fifty people all together.
"Over there you have the breakfast bar." He said pointing to the right at a very long counter that had different machines and display racks on it. "Over here is where they serve lunch and dinner. The lunches and dinners are predetermined. So like today is Friday which means. We have pizza or something pizza related."He said as we walked to the left towards what I assume is the kitchen area that has two lines and both ends that lead into it. "There are two different lines one for the main lunch/dinner and the other is Ah-La Carte where you can get somthing else if you don't want what they are serving. The only downside about it is you never know what they made until you get here, but they always have French fries everyday." He said as we got to the front where you gotta decide which line you want to wait in.
"Ok well which are you going to get?"
"Umm well as you can see they are serving cheeseburgers and I love cheeseburgers so." He finished. I figured I would get a burger to I mean come on who doesn't love cheeseburgers.
So me and Alex stood in line together. He is actually pretty cool. I learned that he is in a rock band with his best friend Chris and that when he gets out they plan on moving to L.A. in hopes to get a record deal. He isn't really the type of person I would hang out with everyday, but maybe like a football game together every now and then kind of friend. But I like him I hope he gets that record deal.
After we finished it was a little after eight so we went up to what they call the Rec. Room. This place just seems to have it all. When we got there it had a foosball table, a ping-pong table, a pool table. They had a table with about four Mac computers, they had a couple couches that surrounded a huge flat screen TV. Which was being watched by the guys, they were watching a Sports Center. Good thing I like sports and I know what Im talking about. So I sat and watched it with them.
I'm not exactly sure how long we were all watching and talking about sports, but I know it was maybe a hour or so. It was really calm and chill, hence is why I tend to hang with the guys more than girls and they all seemed to just treat me like one of the guys. I was watching the TV until a commercial came on it had a hott brunette babe eating a burger and it reminded me of Candice. Oh shoot I almost forgot about the little movie thing they have. I guess I'll go after all it will get me one step closer to figuring her out.
"Alright fellas I gotta go I have somewhere to be right now." I spoke as I got up.
"Aww Vic you can't go it's the last five minutes of the fourth quarter. You're gonna miss the ending!" Said Adam. He is also there for drinking. He has short blonde hair and he is Canadian. His girlfriend is pregnant and he decided it was time to grow up and be a father to his unborn child and one day a great husband.
"I know but I made somewhat of a promise and I don't break promises. But hey same time next week boys?!" I ask cheerily. To which they all nodded and agreed so I began my walk to the group room in search of Candice. I'm in no rush I'm just going to keep her waiting for earlier today. So I ride the elevator down to my floor and head to my room. I can't watch a movie without using the bathroom first. And maybe I should change into my pajamas.
After I finish that I decide to head down to the group room. When I get there there is a big screen with a projector pointed at it and on one side of the room there was a popcorn machine, soda and a lot of different candy. There weren't any chairs, everybody had a blanket and were seated on the floor or talking to each other, the movie hasn't started yet. I surveyed the room and as I predicted Candice was there already she was standing by the candy part of the table talking to Ginger Snap. She seemed to look like she needed an excuse to walk away. She then looked around like she was looking for somebody important. I didn't move because she invited me so I want her to come get me, that and because I don't know where we are to be sitting. We then locked eyes and she smiled at me I smiled back. She then turned back to Ginger Snap and said something before she gave him a quick hug and walked over towards me. I also noticed how he stared at her as she walked over to me. He then glared at me but I just shot him a cocky smirk. If there is one thing I know now is that he definitely wants Candi, but as long I'm here it ain't gonna happen. Maybe next time he will think twice before manhandling me.
"Hey you made it I was beginning to think you weren't going to show." Candice smiled before she gave me a hug. I hugged her back just to make Ginger Snap jealous.
"I wouldn't have missed it for the world Candi." I smile back. She then let me go and grabbed my hand.
"Come on I will show you where we are sitting." She said as she lead me to a spot in the back of the room. It looked like she had this all planned out, she had two blankets one to sit on and one to use.
"What movie are we watching again?" I ask as we sit down on the blanket.
"The Women in Black. Oh wait did you want any candy or any thing like that?" She asked as she sat on my left side.
"Umm.. Some Skittles would be nice."
"Ok Skittles coming right up." She then got up and walked over to the food table. She then held up a grape soda and looked at me, I shook my head yes. She grabbed another and walked back over to me. "I also got Swedish Fish, and Milk Duds just in case." She said as she sat down next to me and leaned against the wall like I was.
"Well good thing I like those too."
"Well then that is another thing we have in common." She giggled as the movie started. The movie wasn't that scary like I thought it would be. Every now and then there would be a scene that makes you jump. Every time that happened Candice would jump and grab onto my arm, she held on the entire time. I was pretty sure that her nails would leave a mark on my arm, but I don't mind I like her.
When the movie ended everybody helped clean up and began to head off to bed. So I helped Candi with her blankets and walked her back to her room.
"That movie was pretty scary huh?" She giggled
"I guess, but it was kind of hard to focus with nails digging into your skin." I chuckled
"I'm so sorry. I didn't hurt you too bad did I?" She asked in a concerned voice blushing a little bit. She is so cute when she blushes.
"No I will be fine I've felt worse pain. Anyways I guess I ought to head to bed before the drug me again."
"Ok so I guess I will see you tomorrow."
"Yea even if I didn't want to where else would I go?" I giggle.
"Yea you're right. Well good night!" She said as she gave me a hug
"Good night." And with that I let her go and headed back towards my room which was only down the hall. There is something about Candice that draws me in I can't put finger on it but I got nothing but time to figure it out.
there is actually a funny story from when I went to go see the women in black at the movies. So I had a rather large bag of skittles and I fucked around and opened the bag weird so a whole bunch of skittles fell to the ground. And skittles aren't the most quiet of candy so it made a lot of noise. so through out thee whole movie I couldn't move or else it would rain Skittles. I dunno I just thought I should share that with you guys. - Joz ps. Today is my Aksana's birthday I Love Her Forever
