They growled and turned away. Though through the entire night, it seemed they hadn't noticed lotus. Maybe because of the giant flowers protruding from his eye socket.
    Of course, lotus wouldn't talk at all. I guess I wouldn't if I had abusive parents and they were sitting right in front of me. I place my hand gently onto his, causing him to jolt and pull away. I sigh. "S-sorry, I-I just..." he trailed off. I grab his hand from mid-air and gently place it back on the table.
    "Listen, lotus, we can leave anytime ya want, just say so" though lotus was hesitant he nodded. I smiled up at him and got up from the plate filled table. He had gotten up as well, almost immediately coming close and clinging onto my arm. I start to walk to the door as a familiar voice calls out.
    "Hold it!" a voice shouted. I turn and see fell!reaper getting up from his table. Lotus coward down behind me. "Just so ya know, its a little rude to leave someone you know without saying hi" I growled under my breath. Why would he want yo say hi to the guy he supposedly hated during high school.
    "Oh! And why should I exactly?" a smirk had formed on my face.
    "Because, I believe that's my son you've got behind you" I gasped. Now he finally says something about it?! "All i'm asking, is you hand him over" fu*k. That. Sh*t. I pushed him a little farther behind me. I felt his shaking from the slightest touch, his body shivered in fear.
    "That isn't happening, I think we'll be going" I growled. Fell!reapers smile faded into a frown and scowled at me.
    "You're not going anywhere with my son-" I interrupted him.
    "And when did you care?" I shot back. He growled, stepping closer. I backed up, also pushing lotus.
    I huffed and grabbed lotus by the wrist as I dragged him out of the restaurant. He tried to keep up with me but my mind was telling me to get as far as I could. I stopped at the truck door.
    I could hear lotus's voice calling and asking questions. I was so....mad! Everything in my body was telling me to protect lotus with an awful feeling of being watched. I growl, soon a yelp heard after. I look back at lotus. He had tears in his eyes while he tried to pull on my hand around his wrist.
    I realize I had tightened my grip exponentially, causing pain to poor lotus. A flower bloomed as a bud appeared in his empty eye. I quickly let go if his wrist and hug him close.
    I pick him up gently and place him in the passenger side, giving the area one last glance. I walk over to the other side and get in, putting the key in the slot and turning it...
