nine - consequences

I felt like a child having a tantrum.

But as a kid who was just ripped away from their only parent, should I act any less?

My heart hurts tremendously, it feels like he died but he's still alive. But so distant from me

I'm surprised I didn't lose control, it's like everything froze for only me.

I heard the door open but I stayed with my knees to my chest and my head tucked into them.

"Kid." I heard a familiar voice.

I glanced up, my eyes full of tears and saw Tony standing there.

He put my bracelet down. "It's cracked though."

I rubbed my eyes. "Probably why I almost passed out earlier." My voice was raspy from screaming.

He put his hands in his pockets. "I'll make you a new one that won't break easily...I'm surprised it lasted this long."

I nodded. There's no reason to hate Tony. He wasn't his fault.

Anna said the German police called cps for me.

I understand Anna is doing her job but she's acting like it's not a big deal.

IT'S A VERY BIG DEAL!

"Thanks." I stood up and put the bracelet on, feeling some sort of helpful control in me.

"Come on kid, let's get you away from here."

Anna walked in. "Mr. Stark, I wasn't aware you were coming yet."

"Yep, come on." He patted my shoulder.

"Mr. Stark she's not ready yet." Anna was trying to get me to stay.

"We'll I'm actually guardian now so peace." He did peace signs and motioned for me to walk out first.

I listened and he walked around and in front of me.

"I'm sorry kid, I did all I could."

"Yeah yeah, heard that enough today."

He took me near the outside, there was tables around so I'm guessing it's a food court.

"When did you last eat?" He handed me his fucking credit card.

"Dunno, forgot...you're trusting me with your money?"

"What are you gonna do? Buy a car? Get yourself something." He started walking away.

"Where are you going?" I put the card in my pocket.

"Can't say." He turned around and walked backwards.

"Rude." I mutter and walked into the small foot court. It had a sandwich shop and some other weird place. It's Berlin so I don't know.

I walked up, ordered a turkey sandwich with some potato chips. They had cinnamon rolls but I'm too sad to eat any right know.

I feel sick to my stomach, but I'm hungry.

All of my feelings were ripped out and shoved back in the wrong places.

What should I feel right now? I feel numb.

I sat down and pushed the tray to the middle and put my head down.

I should run.

I should really run.

But there's no where to go, plus I probably wouldn't be able to get out of this area due to the security and plus i definitely think this credit card is a tracker.
