I shifted in my seat looking out the window "people took down the pill manufacturing company, they left the city without the drugs to run it" I started as I folded my hands and then quickly unfolded them I felt uncomfortable like I had a bad feeling in my stomach. "Everything went into chaos a lot of the people were without pills they came out of the high", I spoke lightly "I was the only one that escaped, I ran from Battery City" I heard Party laugh harshly at me "Boo-Hoo" he fake cried chuckling afterwards Ghoul was quick to reach over the table smacking his arm Party growled at him "DON'T TOUCH ME" He yelled roughly getting up from the table rattling it. He stormed from the diner to the hallway before disappearing, I looked at Ghoul "can I please get up?" I ask him while I sort of pressed my bony hip into his hip indicating I really wanted up. He nodded scooting out to let me out from the booth I left my untouched can on the table before stretching my back I turned to him "where is the- bathroom here?" I slightly stuttered he pointed to the back of the diner into a room. I nodded thanking him before walking to the back room, it was a beaten up bathroom but functional and had a mirror I walked up looking at myself closely for the first time in 2 years. My black hair was knotted, some pieces plastered to my head in sweat. I didn't know what do these men don't trust me I don't even trust me. I rummaged through the drawers and cabinets just to find the one thing I want, scissors. I took the slightly rusted scissors in my hand sliding them on my palm. Grabbing a handful of my hair that was reaching my shoulder by now took it into a fist leaning over, to make sure the hair doesn't get on me before hacking at it cutting it right below my earlobe. Chunks of hair fell in a knotted mess onto the ground i ruffled my newly hacked hair. Sitting down the scissors I ran my hands under the faucet that was struggling to push out some water at all. Drying off my hands on my jumpsuit I looked in to the the mirror smiling at my hair it felt, light. I placed my hand on the knob but the door turned by itself as I opened from the other side Party looked questionably at me more or so at my hair. He shook his head, a mean look on his face he came forward basically knocking me out of the way he stopped just long enough to say something into my ear "You will NEVER be one of us". I looked back at him annoyed fed up "what happened to last night?, you ask me a question remember that?" I started he stayed silent for the first time unmoving, nothing to say "you said are you with us or against us, I'm trying here I have been a pain I know, if you think I don't know you are wrong" I continued he gawked at me like I was a rare animal "I was scared, the world I live I was fearless this world I was thrown into I'm unsure of anything, I was told you people were dangerous and killers by people that were just that killers". I ran my hand through my hair "I'm sorry but this industry isn't mine, we were brainwashed and lied to I am as much as a victim as you people are". After that I walked out leaving him were I left him, I walked down the hallway into the diner area were Ghoul was still sitting, his head in his hands. I walked up to him clearing my throat before speaking "do you have any clothes I can wear?" I asked he looked up smiling "I like it" he replied motioning to my hair I smiled back at him. He slowly got up from his seat stretching, before walking back to the hallway. I walked slowly looking at the bathroom, the door to my relief was tightly shut. He opened the door across from the bathroom the door swung open nailing the wall behind it. Sunlight filled the room warming it, he walked over to some boxes on the other side of the room next to a beaten up looking futon. He rummaged through the boxes pulling out a small black tank top throwing it to me, I looked at it questioned by the fact men having a same girls tank top. "Can I ask whose this is?" I asked raising a eyebrow, I could hear him stop gulping "it- it was a friends" he tripped over his words before rummaging again i unzipped my jumpsuit to my hips and slid my arms out I winced moving my left arm through the sleeve before moving it down far enough to tie off at my hips also I tied it in a knot before slide the tank top on cringing at every move I made. In the end the tank was extremely short cutting a good three and a half inches above my belly button. I decided I was going to look around myself, I looked a boxes scattered around the until one caught my attention. I saw something bright red stick up from the box I walked over to the box unfolding the flaps. It was a jacket that felt like leather and plastic all at the same time. What interested me the most was the Cobra on the front right on the right side of the jacket and the number 3 on the arm. I was holding it up looking at it when I realized Ghoul wasn't rummaging anymore he was looking at me "hey put that down" he demanded in a calm tone "if Party sees you with that he'll kill you". I slowly put it back down confused and I quickly folded the box back up. He sighed in relief "I couldn't find anything else" he nodded at me "when we go out we'll scavenge".
