Sunday Sessions (2)

"Who is she?" I heard my rehab mate ask another fellow in their table. "I have no idea, she look clean though...unlike the other chicks here." The fellow with sunken cheeks respond then the two of them laughed. Who is she?...I ask myself as well and dig my spoon in the chocolate pudding and watch it sink. I left her sitting alone in the conference room. She smiled at me, no one does that to me; I scare people but she...she looked at me, like I'm some one worth knowing and I was the one scared and nervous. The guys continue to chat and I sat alone at the corner of the cafeteria. I look outside the window and there she is, her dress in contrast to the brightness of the day and the green grass. She is standing under the Acacia tree wearing earphones, eyes closed and a notebook in her hand. I watch her...she stand still like the scene can be captured and put into a post card. She is not beautiful, but when placed in a crowd she'll be set apart from them. Then came Jojo, approaching her...he tapped her at the shoulder she turn to him and smiled. i watch them more carefully now, he said something; it must have been bad because she suddenly frown then she gazed to the window where I watch them and she caught me. I duct my head...why the hell am I hiding? I felt stupid that I ate the chocolate pudding against my will. I snapped out of myself and look outside the window; she was gone...she and Jojo were no longer there. I felt my heart hammer against my ribs...what I'm feeling the very moment is worse than my withdrawal. I stood up and hurry to the doors of the cafeteria, my hand barely touched the handles when the doors pulled open. She was there...we stood face to face, her head level to my shoulders; she looked up at me. "What's the hurry?" she asked and I looked away. I saw her smile from the corner of my eyes. "Okay...I'm sorry, I should've introduce myself first." she continued, still holding the door open while I'm trying not to have eye contact with her. "I'm Leigh..." she extended her right hand but I ignored it. "...okay, looks like you don't want to be acquainted." she let her hand drop to her side and smiled again "...go ahead, I don't want to stop you from going anywhere." she moved aside to let me pass and ungentle man as I am, I ignored her and hurried out the door. I heard the door closed behind me and I tried to catch a glimpse if she's still there but she went inside the cafeteria.
"Leigh..." I whispered to the walls of my room. What is she doing here, I could've ask that when she introduced herself to me but I'd rather ignore her that time. I sat on the bed...I am somehow thankful for my corrupt father that he's able to get me this private room in this facility...still thinking of my encounter with her. Eaten by the thoughts of her when suddenly I heard Rupert's voice again "What the hell are you doing! What the Fuck! Stay away from her!" I shut my eyes and screamed at him "Get out of my head!!!" but he kept going on until I can no longer get hold of his screaming. I ran outside my room and to the halls, his voice reverberating from the walls when something solid hit my head and everything turned black...
