"So what did you
do?" I asked curiously. Forrest had an air of mystery about
him that made me want to listen to him for hours. Which I had
been doing all night.
"Well, I found my dad's wallet and took enough money to
buy 2 tickets to the Carnival that was in town. My brother and I
stayed at the Carnival all day, even until the park closed for
teens. Thats when Ms. Heather found us."
"Who is Ms. Heather?"
"She's kinda like my second mom, since my real one is...
dead."
"Oh. Well continue on."
"Ms. Heather politely asked where our parents were and I
told her my mom was dead and my dad... well I couldn't take
my brother back to that situation. She felt bad and decided to
see if, somehow, she could find a way to help us out. She called
my dad and he said that he would love for her take us of his
hands."
"So you stayed at the Carnival?"
"For 14 years?"
"Yea, pretty much. Been here my whole life. These people are
my family."
"So your like a run away?"
"Well, kinda. My dad did say he didnt want us."
"Dont you ever miss him?"
"Sometimes, but its very rare. I like to push that thought
out of my mind. He almost killed me, so I dont see how I can love
a person that did that."
"wow. Wait, your brother... where is he now?'
"He died at age 10. I was 12... but he did have his mental
illness, and he had been almost beaten to death many times.
Heather got me through it."
I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to see Jamie...
surprisingly conscience. she blinked her eyes at me a few times
before talking, "Who's your friend?" she asked in
an almost whisper.
"Oh, this is Forrest, Forest, Jamie." i turned around
and looked at where forrest was standing to find... no
Forest.
"Thanks for introducing me to your imaginary friend, now
whose that beside you."
i looked over to the right to find a random teen guy sitting
beside me i hadn't noticed before.
"erm... i dont know. Uh, Hi... jamie, guy i dont know, guy i
dont know, Jamie."
as he introduced himself as Micheal, i looked up and down the bar
for Forest who was not present. Then around the room. Where had
he gone?
i looked down at the coaster that was not stained with water
droplets. I moved my cup and flipped around... to find a
note:
"Now i want to hear your story... meet me here again
tomorrow night. see you at 11. -Forest"
