o l i v e r . I like the way hunger feels. Pain still idle hands, teeth digging into the side of my cheek and everything takes more effort but it is a good kind of suffering. The kind that makes me feel alive, fighting the fatigue that makes my arms heavy and makes my head spin. Ribs hidden by large sweaters, not that anybody notices. It's more force of habit, to hide the ugly thing my body has become since not one person has given a damn about my well being since I ran away four years ago. Even then, it was only appearance that mattered. These days I keep myself busy, boiling coffee down a dry throat and every moment that passes is once better spent watching the world slip further and further down this rabbit hole that I cannot escape. I don't think I could eat if I wanted to. "We still on for lunch, cutie?" Her name is Daisy, hair dyed platinum with blue eyes and pale lips. I like the way she smiles, with every inch of her body and not just her lips. A genuine, sweet thing she is. I'd like to call her a friend, had I the confidence. "Of course." The smile cracks dry lips and I can taste the blood beading upon the split skin. Wipe it away on the back of my hand, wipe the back of my hand on my jeans and keep smiling, no matter what else you do. Actions take so much concentration these days, any amount of effort is taxing on a brain filled with cotton balls and candy wrappers. My mind is foggy, like the ocean on a winter's day and I can appreciate its beauty now- despite my hatred for the place. The cafe is warm. Its a nice break from the volatile ocean winds that taste like salt and fish. I never was a fan. And though my search is frantic- sure I'm missing the white haired woman among the crowd - realization is a rock down my throat and into the pit of my stomach. I can't tell those girls anything. Because there he is, the hot doctor I had mentioned to them in passing. (We just want to know, Ol baby, who is he?) I think I'd punch them if their intentions weren't always so pure. Really, I've got to work on the anger thing. I can't just walk in, stand here for a good five minutes and walk back out. If I'm going to make an impression on the guy it's certainly not going to be like that. Instead, long legs bring me to the seat across from him, carefully resting my elbows on the table and staring at the salt and pepper shakers so tediously placed upon its edge. "Wonderful day to be stood up, don't you think?" Cocky half grin, heart beating so fast he must hear its thumping. But a part of me hopes he can. A part of me wishes someone would see that I am dying and offer help that I will no doubt refuse. It's a sick kind of game, I am both the cat and the mouse and the man with a gun to his own temple. |
