And then I look down at my hands.. it was still painted black.. Maybe it's a quirk thing I don't know, maybe it will go way and I will forget about this.. I say to myself looking in the mirror wondering what happened?..

( I know none will care but it looks different from the first drawing because I draw this before I draw that in my new art style lol 😭)

Whatever! I will get some coffee and forget about this, I do need some time to myself now to look for a bus ride to the mall or a coffee shop near by.. but maybe I can walk.

I look for my bag and for my headphones so I can be ready! I pick them up and run out the door. Maybe I needed some extra cardio. Goodness knows how much running we will do this year.

And before you ask me you left without knowing where to go? Yes, and I found my way in about an hour! And I was so happy to pull up to the Starbucks doors!

I wait in line for about ten minutes or so and it was my turn I asked for a black coffee..

"Just a black coffee? Nothing else right?" The employee asked. Do I look weird asking for black coffee? should I order food? Maybe I will get Shino his drink but surprise I don't know what he drinks! I will just ask him after I am done drinking..

"Yup-p, that's it!" I say avoiding eye contact. "Alright can I get a name please?" The employee askes. "Artemis" "is it spelled A-r-t-e-m-u-s?" Does it really matter if she gets my name right she will forget anyways.. "yeah that's right"

I go to sit down and waiting for my drink.. "it's destiny that we always met!" I want to guess it is...Ivy? Yup it's it her..

"Can I sit with you?" She asks in a smile. "Of course, you wanted coffee to?"

"Order for Artemus?" A different employee yells. "That's me!" I say, "okay your total is $5.99, cash or card?" Card I told her getting my wallet that Rikku got me last Christmas, handing her my card. "Have a great day!" "You too!"

After that I sat back down sitting a cross from Ivy, "So, what do you like to do?" She said trying to make small talk. "Umm.. I design a bit and sew too, how about you?" I said answering her question."

"Well I would say I like to plant boring compared to yours but its simple and I like it!" She laughs at the last part a bit.

And to say after chatting with her, she's pretty cool I like her confident and kind she is and we can relate to some stuff, but everything good happens, always have to end.. I sigh to myself, and what was that? Well my hands yeah the one that looked like I painted over it, decided it would be a great time to feel like it's burning, and because of that pain I wanted to cry and cut off my arms! But I have so much decency that I just sit there and smile..

I mean what am I post to do? I say to myself drink the coffee on the table, trying to listen to Ivy but trying to ignore the pain is a bit hard..

I hope this Coffee will coat my pain..

What do I do next?

Leave.
