Love story at the Rehab center
Im a pisces. I had two. But the first one lasted longer so I assume itās that one thatās more relevant to the reader.
Iāve just arrived to the facility. It was raining like if the sky was crying for me.Ā
I went straight from my room tearing up to the smoke area down the yard. I was like the new toy everyone was waiting to play around with. Lots of people, lots of new faces, lots of introductions. From behind I hear āDo you need lighterā, āYes pleaseā I reply. Trying not to cry in front of this stranger. Im āJakeā (Not his real name but letās keep the privacy), āYozy, my pleasureā. He was smart, mid tall, mid ugly, but with the cutest smile Iāve ever seen. A smile that could light up my whole disaster and sad day. That was his first move, until then I didnāt knew how a predator he was. I was his innocent sheep.Ā
The day goes by, some other people introduce themselves to me when the sunset arrives (my worst and most depressing moment of the day). At that time I was in my room, no cable tv, no phone, no screen. What im supposed to do?Ā
I open my Julia fox book in its first page. I start dump diving into her world to get out of mine.Ā
Dinner time. Long line in the dinner room. I eat alone, surrounded by strangers. Depressing.Ā
Smoke time after eating, im having my soy milk latte, he approached and sits next to me, we start talking, he had the power to take me out of space and take me somewhere nicer, somewhere far away from that place. We shared some cigarettes and after that he invites me to see the stars. We walk some meters and ended un in a bench apart from everything ugly. The bench of the stars. We chat about our lives and about how we ended up there. Finally, we kiss.
It was late at night, we had to go back to our dorms, lucky for us, we slept in dorms almost next to each other. That night I remember feeling so alone that I decided to go knock on his door, with no line on mind, just āHi I feel aloneā. He never answered, next day I find out he was already asleep.Ā
Some days go by, we were almost rehab boyfriend and girlfriend. We had every meal together, we took long walks taking hands, we kissed in front of others, but secretly from the staff, I went everyday to his room to watch movies and eat candies, we shared smiley eyes every time our eyes crossed. Seemed like a movie.Ā
Then everything went downhill. But Im gonna stop the story here, because im a romantic person and I prefer the reader to keep this image of us.Ā
