"come on" he barked "We shouldn't hang about. The less people who see us the better"
"I'm cold" I shivered as he led me down the breezy street. Because of our unlikely escape we had stupidly left all of our stuff at the prison so I am stuck wearing the dress that they forced me to wear. I must admit though that breathing fresh air shouldn't feel this great but I didn't have the luxury while inside. It was too stale, unhealthy, sickly even.
I grabbed his shoulder to slow him down. "I need to take this off"
It wasn't quite dark enough for us to blend in without being seen. People were staring at us.
"Soon" He shook me off and kept walking.
"How come they didn't make you change?" I asked running to keep up with him.
He still kept walking, ignoring my pleads to stop. He was getting angry with me. It wasn't hard. It was easy for me to annoy most people without meaning to.
"This isn't comfy!" I almost snapped. I wanted him to stop or even slow down, just something to give my lungs a break. He still kept walking though, he didn't even show signs of slowing down. Where does he get his energy from? I have no other choice but to follow him wherever he goes. I have no idea where we are right now or what we should be doing next.
He seemed to know what we're going to do next even though I know that if I ask him he probably won't answer me. I guess I will find out soon though.
"Will you find me some better clothes?" I asked. I still feel naked in this stupid gown. I thought rewording it may provide an answer however it still fell short. Charming I'm talking to myself.
My feet are screaming bloody murder. I'm finding it harder and harder to try to keep up with him.
"Can we stop!" I shouted at him. I was getting fed up. I couldn't take it any more. "I need a break!"
All the people around us stopped, all of them staring at me like I am some show/entertainment.
He stopped suddenly, making me walk into him. He laughed.
"What's so funny?" I asked rubbing my head. My temper was rising like a volcano's lava. Why isn't he talking to me? He did for the last few days ever since I decided to take that gun into school.
"They're all looking at you!" he said.
The ground was spinning underneath my feet. I grabbed my head and looked down to stop it. "Make It Stop!" I screamed at him, trying to grab him.
People were shouting all around us. I couldn't make sense of any of it.
He shook me off him. "i can't! You did this!"
"You did it too. We did it together!"
He shook his head. Or at least I think he did the ground hasn't stopped spinning yet.
"What does that mean?" I asked.
He didn't reply. He was laughing again. He was leaning against a wall trying to prop himself up he was laughing that much. "you're too much!"
Finally the ground stopped spinning.
"What does that mean?" I asked again.
"I am not real you did this all yourself"
"You're lying" I said.
"Why would I lie? I am the only person who tried to help you get out of this hole you keep digging yourself deeper in" he snapped.
"Excuse me are you okay?" a man approached us.
He stopped laughing and glared at me.
I didn't say anything. I didn't want to make him angry.
He nodded, as usual taking control. "Yeah we're good"
The man didn't move. He stood next to me waiting.
"We're okay" I said.
I turned back to to him. He had gone. He left me. He promised me he wasn't going to leave me. Why did he leave me?
"We? It's only you mate" the man said.
"there was a man stood there. Right there a few minutes ago" I said pointing to where he had stood.
"sorry mate but you're alone there's no one else here but me and you" the man said
"No!" I screamed wrapping my arms around my head.
"Mate you need to calm down! We can talk this through" the man was saying to me. He was trying to stay close but I could tell he didn't want to be too close.
I ran away from him. I stopped every single person who was around asking if they had seen him. But every single time I got the same answer. I was alone. No-one else could see him.
"He is real. He was just here!" I screamed in all their faces. "I know he is real! I saw him. I touched him! I am not lying!"
Tears rolled down my cheeks "He was just here. He's always been here for me"
"All right sunshine" Someone grabbed me from behind. I kicked out and tried to fight against it but I felt a pinch in my arm and my eye lids slid closed before I could think of what to do next.
