I don’t know whether to cry or not. I’m trying to decide. I want to but I don’t want to. Everything is just not right.
I fucking call my mother and she hangs up on me. I sit down on just a thick enough wood ledge and look on the floor. I wanted to stay there but there was security standing across and didn’t want her there so I left. Bing…Bing…Bing…Bing…Bing…Bing. Riding down the elevator. Seemed like a movie. A beginning or something.
I walk back to my room and right before I get to my door I slide against the wall and fall sitting on the floor. I wanted to stay there. With my eyes closed. But someone opened their door. I didn’t want anyone seeing me like that. So I went in. Stood for a while, staring at my backpack. I pick it up, put it on, and leave. Down the elevator again. Walk out, all the way to the bus stop. Benches full. I don’t know where I’m going. I stand. Stare at the floor ahead of me. I run my hands through my hair and feel something wet. I put my hand out. It’s starting to rain. I check the weather. It will rain. So I turn around and walk back when I see one of the baristas from Starbucks walking, in front of me. He says, “Hey! How’re you doing?” I smile, say, “Good.” And walk away. And then. I just feel even worse after that.
I’m walking faster now. I’m starting to have trouble seeing through my right eye. I can feel tears, slightly. Little very little rain drops falling. I’m walking faster. My left hand running up and down my hair. People up ahead. I can’t let anyone see me like this. Walk inside. Go up the stairs instead. Cry or not cry? Sit on the steps. Deciding. Cry, or not?
