Chapter 21
"Hey." I hear Ben's voice and turn round,he just smiles and sits beside me.
"If you're smoking I'm leaving."
"No,I'm not. Don't worry. I just wanted to see if your okay."
"I've been better."
"You know you don't have to pretend,I'm you're friend."
"I know,"
"It's okay for you to be upset,it just puts everyone else down at the same time."
"I feel like shit. But I'll still smile because I'd rather not talk about it."
"You're pretty deep."
"Okay.."
"I'm being serious,now.." He puts his hand around my shoulder,squeezing it tightly like a friendly gesture "Now,it's lunch break and I'm so starving. So let's leave these fuckers and go then some lunch. That sound good?"
"Yeah,let's go. Where we going?"
"We'll go get some food from the supermarket and eat it at the park. Plus,it's really fun!"
"What do you mean?"
"You'll see."
So we head to the large store and get a trolley,it's quite busy but Ben seems to act like we're the only ones there,dumping anything in the trolley then when he fInds an empty isle and his face stretches into a weird smile,making me burst out with laughter.
"What are you doing?" I snigger.
"Watch this."
He grips tightly onto the trolley handle then runs for about five seconds then jumps up as it zooms past,driving itself. I laugh and run to him as he stops it like an expert.
"Fancy a go?" He asks.
"Did you even have to ask?"
I grasp the trolley then run,I probably look like such an idiot but it feels amazing. I could go forever but once I reach the end of the isle I know I have to stop.
"Do you think Max would mind if we stole this trolley and played with it down the office?" Ben asks,picking up bags of sweets.
"I think he would,now come on,I think we've got everything we need."
Ben pays for everything,even when I give him my credit card he refuses then we walk to the park,the grass is dry and the sun is out so we spread all the food out and begin eating,I was actually starving so I feel like I could eat a horse so I take as much food as I can,Ben doesn't seem to care. He looks starving too.
Once we're finished we walk back through the park and to the office.
"So you feeling any better?" Ben asks me.
"A little,thank you."
"That's okay. We should do this again sometime."
"Yeah,we should."
We reach the road next to the office and press the lights as we wait for the Green Man to let us go. As it flashes up in notice my lace on my booties and go to tie it up,nit crossing but Ben does. And it all flashes by..
A car,not thinking what it's doing zooms on,all the other cars stay still as told but it doesn't listen as zooms straight into Ben,knocking him onto the ground...
