《King of Freaks ✔》Chapter 18

Bryn Atkinson's POV
shaking me awake. I felt lightheaded, and my eyes were swollen due to crying. Confusion was the first thing that struck me.
"C'mon." Eliazer softly said, gesturing with his hand. I nodded, getting out of his old car. I recognized it as a black 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner, Nikolai's ultimate favorite. Nikolai has a thing for vehicles, new or old big or small, he loved them either way. As we walked, Eliazer put a hand on the small of my back, leading me towards a store.
Loui's Ice Cream House
It was a small, neighborhood ice cream store. It was the type of ice cream store where people knew each other all the time. Eliazer went up to the counter, where a man in his early thirties was. "Vanilla in a cup," Eliazer ordered before turning to me.
"Can I get a lemon flavored Popsicle?" I asked.
"Yeah, sure." The man said warily, looking at Eliazer. It was pretty obvious, it's hard to notice his pearly white eye. The man kept on staring, and I was starting to think it was going a bit overboard. The man had no shame.
"Is there a problem?" I asked, annoyed. Eliazer put a hand on my forearm, but I continued. "See something?" I dared.
The mans face turned into a scowl. "Listen girly, do yourself a favor, and stop hanging around with freaks, you'll become a fricking demon too." He said in a mocking tone. This time, the scowl formed on Eliazer's face. Before I had time to slap the counter man, an old woman came through the back.
"Oh my goodness, I'm terribly sorry. Please, forgive my son. He doesn't know when to shut his damn mouth." She said, glaring at whom she identified as her son. "Now get on there with you, I should be the one at the counter."

She seemed genuinely sorry.
Forgive and forget, right?
Edna, the name that was imprinted on her shirt. "I'm so sorry, don't believe anything he says, that's boys a darn idiot I'll say. My father was blind, so I was always bashed with questions as to why he looked that way. Again, I'm very, terribly sorry." She said, handing us our orders.
Eliazer hummed, placing the money on the counter while I smiled softly at her apologetic face. We sat at a table on the side, by the wall. It was silent, but I knew deep down he was doing this to cheer me up.
Strange isn't it?
I looked at Eliazer, giving him a soft smile. I didn't expect for him to give me one back, but what a surprise it was when I saw one side of his mouth slowly twitch up for a split second. I tried shutting my mouth closed, not wanting it to fall to the ground. I was surprised as ever.
Eliazer silently scooped a spoon of vanilla ice cream before placing it inside his mouth. I looked at him, he looked at me. We didn't bother looking away, but it wasn't awkward either. It was surprisingly comforting. Eliazer is the type of person to have a natural awkward aura or a scary one. I'm guessing at times, it can be comfortable.
I let out a frustrated sigh as the lemon juice started sliding down my hand. I angrily wiped my hand with a napkin, knowing that it's going to feel sticky. The vibration of my phone caught my attention. I pulled it out of my pocket, only to see that I got a message from River.
I pondered on my reply. If my friends knew, then the whole school knew.
I placed my phone down, satisfied with my reply. I didn't think it sounded salty, more like I needed space. I was with Eliazer after all, I don't know how the guys would react to that. The only one that knows is Bruce. From what I could tell, it looked like the guys didn't know I hanged out with Eliazer and Jared, but of course, Bruce found out on the day of the shooting.

Bruce isn't the type of person to be oblivious and naive to everything. He has a hawks eye, but I trust him. It's not like hanging out with Eliazer has to be a secret, I honestly don't care about what people think. I had just finished my Popsicle as Eliazer was taking his lasts scoops of vanilla. It did cheer me up, this and everything he has done. It wasn't much, but it's something.
He nodded at me as we threw out our trash. I turned to the lady at the counter, who bid us farewell. We went inside Eliazer's car, the bumpy cushioning feeling pleasant.
"Home?" He asks. I nod my head, grateful for the ride. He immediately started the engine, roaring to life. It sounded beautiful, and from the shake of the engine, you could tell it was powerful.
"Nice," I stated, running my hand over the dashboard. He hummed in reply, but I said nothing. I wasn't uncomfortable, it was quite the opposite. The silence wasn't unnerving, but comfy. I even started to get drowsy, my head leaning on the window.
"If you're gonna fall asleep, at least put on your seatbelt," Eliazer stated. I grumpily reached for my seatbelt in a playful manner, letting myself go boneless when I heard the click of the lock. The window felt fresh and cool against my head, a relaxing moment. We went in through a deserted road to speed things up a little. It was in between woods, the shops were on one side, and the people were on the other.
I was about to let my eyelids close when the car swerving woke me up with a jolt.
