Chapter 6
It has been a month already.
The doctor let me go since my body was getting better,but i should go to the hospital every week for the stitches and eye check.
"Alright,you are good to go."Doctor Jonathan grabbed his pen and wrote down somes notes on his clipboard "Your eye is still not looking the best,but if you happen to lose the eyesight from your right eye would you like-"
"No,it is fine,i want to avoid the hospital for the time being apart from our check up appointments.Besides,i wouldn't be that lucky."
Softly chuckling,my fingers slightly traced my right eye.
"An eye for an eye."I looked up at him."Serves me right and it's only fair."
Jonathan sighed,resting a hand on my shoulder,slightly giving it a squeeze.
"An eye for an eye and the world goes blind Vincent.But if you change your mind and want to get the eye surgery,just let me know and i will be here to help."
With a smile and a small pat on my back,he grabbed his clipboard."Go to the front desk and sign up some papers,after that you are free to leave."
"Thank you doc,i will see you next week." Returning the smile,i grabbed a backpack with clothes that Scott brought the other day.
Walking inside the bathroom holding in my hands the new clothes,i looked at myself in the mirror.
Carefully and slowly my hands removed the hospital gown,feeling the thin fabric slowly falling from my injured body.
For weeks i have been avoiding to look at this mess that i call my body.
The stitches,the marks,the scars that this fateful night have left on me.
I see them all on my body,carved on me for the rest of my life.
I hesitate,but my trembling long fingers brush against the deep scars and stitches that lay on my still alive body and flesh.
Would have been better if i died?
I shake that thought away,grabbing the white shirt and putting it over my head,following with the pair of grey sweatpants.
"Much better,i don't look like a dying person now." I slightly smile,an attempt to get my mood up.
After getting ready,i existed the hospital room,making my way towards the front desk.
The lady at the front smiled,passing me the papers to sign along with a pen.
I gave her a small smile,signing the last paper,giving it back to her.
"Look out for yourself Vincent,take care."
"This time,i will,thank you." I gave her a reassuring smile,turning around and heading to the douple doors.
I felt my heart beating,my hand resting on the handle as i pushed the door.
The warm sunlight brushed against my skin,making the corners of my mouth perk up.
The sun was up on the clear blue sky,people were walking outside enjoying the nice weather,birds singing to this beautiful day of spring.
"What a shame to die on such a beautiful day."
I enhaled the fresh oxygen,my lungs feeling happy about reseving such fresh air.
Walking outside of the hospital grounds,my hands brushed through some blooming flowers,feeling the petals caressing my fingertips.
"I am still alive." I whispered to myself with a smile,looking at my hand."It's time to turn things around."
~~
Turning around the corner with my car i spotted the bakery.
Sweet Alchemies.
The sign read and parked my car to an empty space near the store.
I looked at the outside with a smile,seeing on the door the small sign that had the word 'Open' on it with a smiling cupcake next to it.
I pushed the door open,hearing a small bell sound above the door.
"Give me a moment,i will be there in a minute!" A familiar voice came from the back making me chuckle,taking a look around the shop.
From the corner of my still good left eye,i noticed an ice cream stand on the corner of the shop.There wasn't any ice cream inside,but the cones were sprinkled and dipped in chocolate.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting!What goodie would you-."
His voice was cut off with a gasp as he saw me.
"Vincent!Oh my god,you are out!" He smiled widely as he walked around the cash register that was resting on the counter and wrapped his arms around me.
I couldnt help but chuckle and hug back."I wanted to surprise you all."
Pulling away,Fritz eyed me from head to toe."You are looking good!More,lively,dare i say."
He chuckled nervously,noticing the small cotton eye patch on my right eye.
"I could have been better or worse,but what matters is that i am alive,here on this earth walking and breathing."
Fritz smiled,his eyes softening.
He snapped out of his thoughts and he nervously laughed,fixing his glasses."So,what brings you here?"
"I came to talk to you and support your bakery,you did an amazing work on this shop." I kept looking around with a smile,and then looked at him."You are doing great Fritz,i knew you could do it."
He rubbed his arm with a smile.
"Have you talked with the others?"
The ginger slightly flinched."Well.." His voice trailed off."I only talk with Scott and Jeremy rarely passes by as he is heading to university,i feel like him and Mike are kind off distant."
My eyebrow raised after what he said."How so?"
Fritz sighed.
"After our visits in the hospital were less and less,so they were our talks with the guys.I don't know why,maybe because (Y/N) kept us together and after she stopped coming.."
His voice trailed off again.
"I wanted to ask you about (Y/N) too.Where is she?Is she okay?I haven't seen her maybe in a month or so,i am worried."
Fritz eased his posture,looking at me with a small smirk.
"Worried as a friend,or..?"
"Fritz."
"What?I couldn't help but notice the way you talked and looked at her the last time she was around.Your feelings are showing Vincent." He crossed his arms,a small pink blush dusted across my cheeks.
"What if i have feelings for her?Having feelings or not,she is one of the people i care and worry about,and i want to know what is wrong with her."
My hands reached for him and rested on his shoulders,looking into his eyes."She won't tell me anything for sure,heck,i tried to reach out to her but she doesn't answer neirther my calls or messages.You have to know something."
He lowered his head with a sigh,awkwardly rubbing the back of his head.
"I am as lost as you are buddy.I have tried reaching out to her but she always seemed to shut me off.I think Mike was the last person that heard from her."
I removed my hands from his shoulders,as if i got a weight off his shoulders,he seems more relaxed now.
"Thank you for letting me know,i will try and reach out to Mike or at least Jeremy."
"Try Jeremy first,going straight to Mike it is like going to a boss fight while you are still level one."
i couldn't help but chuckle,a little laughter would brush off that weight of the heavy conversation.
"It was nice seeing and talking to you Fritz.I will come by often,and i am eyeing those cupcakes with strawberry frosting since i came here,so mind if you get some?"
Fritz's eyes lit up with enthusiasm."I thought you would never ask!"
We both laughed as he walked around the counter,getting a few cupcakes inside a box.
"They remind me so much that cupcake Chica had." Without noticing i said it out loud,Fritz turned around and gave me a look.
"You miss the job too,huh?Because i do for sure,at least there i had someone to cook for,seeing that my food make customers happy.Don't get me wrong,i love the bakery,and it is almost the same thing,same feeling and such but.."
He pushed the box with cupcakes towards me as i handed him ten dollars.
"But,for some reason,back at Fazbear's,it felt different."He lifted his eyes and looked at me."Don't you feel that too?"
Looking at the box with the bakery name and cupcake on it,i couldn't help but think and sigh.
"I don't know what to say or feel about this place anymore."
He nodded,looking through the cash register and giving me back some change."You are right,it was a stupid question,forget i even asked that."
He gave me a small smile."I hope i will see you around more often,it was nice talking to someone.Enjoy your treats!"
I smiled taking the box."If they come from your hands,certainly i will enjoy them!See you around Fritz!"
Waving goodbye to my ginger friend,i opened the door,the bell sound above the door rang again as i made my way towards the car.
Getting into the driver seat and resting my hand on the leather wheel,i reached for my phone again,dialing (Y/N)'s number one more time.
"The number you are trying to reach-"
I huffed in annoyance and hung up,throwing my phone on the passenger seat.
Fuck (Y/N),i am dead worried about you,where in the hell are you.
My thoughts kept going back and forth,but i exhaled deeply as both hands rested on the wheel.
"Calm yourself Vincent,she is alright,everything is fine.You will find her." Releasing the break and turning the wheel,i looked around the street.
"Next stop,Langston University."
