Sunday Sessions (3)

I woke up in the clinic. I try to sit up but my head suddenly sting and made me dizzy that I lay back on the bed and closed my eyes."Why were you running?" a gentle voice said."Shut up!" I respond then slowly, I open my eyes and look at the face of the one who asked me. She pursed her lips and prepare herself to stand up. Immediately, I felt sorry on how I acted. "Don't leave..." I let my words trail off. She paused to look at me and went back to where she was sitting. I couldn't look straight at her; she didn't smile at me like what she always do when she sees me, this time she just sat there staring at me. I sat up to look at her. Her eyes were drowning in sadness, "I'm sorry..." it made me feel bad that I apologized. "Don't be..." she began "...this tears are not meant for you." she held her head up and smiled at me denying the pain she's feeling. "Are you real?" I asked her, she laughed at me. She raised her hand and lightly tapped my cheek."Why? I'm not an apparition or one of your hallucinations..." she replied and laughed again this time I laughed with her even when there's nothing funny with what she said...her laugh is viral. She catch a breath and stopped laughing. "How long have you been off the junk?" I was taken off guard there. I stared at her and she kept her eyes on me as well. I hesitated at first, but I thought she's no different than me...so I shared..."I've only been here for two weeks..." I began "...you? how long have you been off the junk?" she threw me a questioning look. "I'm not a junkee...sorry" I found myself dumbstruck with what she said. Not a junkee?.."...what are you doing here?!" I asked; i must have said it out loud. She jumped a little; her eyes confused with the question. "Do I have to be a junkee to get in here?" she asked me again I felt like a stupid person. I couldn't answer her...she's right...I didn't see it that way. "Well...no..." I began stuttering "...well...why are you here anyway?"She pull out a camera from her bag and took a picture of me, I was surpised and blinked because of the flash. "...what the..." she just giggled and put the camera back in her bag. She stood up and started to walk away..."I guess I'll tell you why the next time I see you..." she said as she walks out of the clinic. She left me hanging on the thought of the next moment we're gonna have...I smiled...I never felt this way...not ever.
