You Are My Pain Killer

✯Chapter 22: America✯

I left little clues around my favourite spots in town because I knew they wouldn't worry as much when I walked into the woods about thirty minutes away. I went because I was going to walk back out for Canada but the doorbell rung and I stopped to listen because I calmed down. It was Sweden I heard them talking at the door for a little bit before they went into another room. I already knew what it was about. I didn't care about my glasses when Russia took them off. I just hid myself instead. By the time I hooked a rope I had in my room to the wall outside I didn't even need to run I just needed to be quiet. Then I took the bus around to get to where I'm going faster. I left my skateboard at the park, a coffee at the coffee shop and told one of the cashiers what to say then I checked in at the hospital until the bus left. I knew none of them would take the bus. I'm not doing this to avoid people I just want to be alone without telling people where I'm going. So I took the bus to the park and walked straight for the woods. There's an old bench that's about 100 years old. It grew vines on it and some photographers have taken pictures with it but stopped for whatever reason. Anyways, Its Aussies favourite spot so I wanted to visit it. I hate letting secrets go anyways so that's why I left. I also left my phone, but that was by accident. I sat on the bench for what felt like ages until I decided to get back home. It was dark out so I could see the stars. Maybe this is why it's pretty in daylight and at night.

I climbed up the window again. I unhooked the rope and ravelled it up and shoved it in my closet. I plopped down on my bed and fell asleep not too long after. I woke up to my alarm murdering my ears and I turned it off angrily. I get dressed and decide whether I should just leave or if I should wait for my brother. I grab my bag and walk downstairs. I go to the kitchen to get my brother some breakfast. I get out a protein bar and wait for him at the door. A couple of minutes later he's coming down the stairs sleepily. His eyes widen when he sees me.                                "America!?" He yelled surprised. I smile and give him the bar.                                                                          "Where were you?! Are you alright! Don't do that again! You scared us!" He hollered.                          "Alright! I'm sorry! I forgot my phone! I would've bought it so I could tell you where I was.".              "You forgot it?" He said, not believing me.                                                                                                                   "Oh come on!" I say.                                                                                                                                                              "It was an accident! You've got to believe me!" I whine. Canada rolls his eyes and huffs. We started off to school with him silent the whole walk. Fun...! We reach the gates and we take to our normal spots, but instead Canada walked with me to my spot. Oh dear god... A few minutes later Sweden walks through the gates and sees me. He runs over to us.                                                              "Are you alright?!" He almost shouts.                                                                                                                             "Yep!" I say quickly. Russia and his siblings walk in. Russia runs over to us when he sees me.           "I swear to god! If you do that again!" He narrows his eyes at me.                                                                   "Oh! Also, take your glasses off America." Sweden says. I look back at him.                                               "No," I say dryly.                                                                                                                                                                     "Yeah... Ame take your glasses and mask off." Canada gets a little closer.                                                   "Okay!" I give in. I check the time quickly.                                                                                                                 "We're gonna have to do this later! I have to meet with a teacher!" I say and squeeze past them and run inside. I have to go up to the third floor grab the teacher paperwork he's gonna give me and then fill out a couple of my own and then return it to the office. I run up the stairs as quickly as possible. I run to room 459 and I open the door.                                                                                         "Hi, Mr. Spain!" I say smiling at him.                                                                                                                             "Oh hello, America! I have the paperwork right here." He says getting up to give it to me.                   "Thank you!" I say politely and walk out the door. I run to the office right before the bell rings and walk inside with the paperwork and I give it to the office lady. She gives me my paperwork and I fill it out.                                                                                                                                                           "Since you've missed half of the day yesterday your going to make two rounds to Spain and Turkey." She says handing me a folder of some more papers.                                                                                   "Thank you!" I say before walking out. I swiftly move through the crowded hallways to get to Mrs. Turkeys room. When I see that she's not in the room I switch the paperwork and put a sticky note on the new one to let her know that I was here. I walk out of the room and give the rest to Spain.
