46. 1 day

" HECK ! "

The situation was bad, no, terrible. Polly found out about Lapis, he's being sent to live with Polly, it was just awful.

--- Be quiet ! - thank God the doctor Priyanka was in the room. She instantly silenced Lapis and Polly.

--- The patient needs peace and quiet ! Both of you, get out of the room !

--- But...

--- Now ! - although she herself said that Augustus needed peace and quiet, but she shouted for the ten.

He forcibly escorted Lapis and Polly out the door, and August could tell from the distant noise that they were still arguing even behind the door.

--- Doc, what the fuck ? Why would I live with her?!

--- Watch your tongue, young man ! I'm not happy about it either. - she picked up a chair and sat down next to him.

--- The hospital found out that you don't have a place to live, and since the only person close to you is Polly, they send you to her.

--- Is there no way to change this ?

--- The decision is final, the chief doctor does not want to listen to me.

--- Then prepare a morgue and a mental hospital.

--- Why ?

--- Because there will be two options if I live with her. Either I go crazy or I kill her.

--- ....

--- Doc, can I run away from her after 3 days ?

--- This is a possible option. But these 3 days you have to spend in her house. Every day the medical staff will come, and if they do not find you, then there will be problems and your treatment will be extended.

--- 3 days, it's not long. The main thing is calm.

" I can't take 3 days, it's too long. "

--- That's right, positive thoughts....

[ BANG ]

They were interrupted by a sharp noise from the corridor.

--- Well, what else ?!

Dr. Priyanka quickly opened the door.I went out into the corridor. Even from the bed, August could see that there had been a fight between Polly and Lapis. Their hair was a mess, their faces were red from the blows, and the good news was that Lapis had not used her powers.

--- What have you done here ?! This is a hospital, not a fight ring !

--- That thing wants to take August away from me !

--- Ha ! You, avatar, what do you care about my son !

--- Security ! Get them out !

" It seems like it will be a long 3 days. "

[ Day 1 ]

I think Lapis let everyone know that August was going to live with Polly. All the gems came to cheer him up and wish him patience. Then he was discharged and sat outside the hospital waiting for Polly to come and pick him up. But she still wasn't there.

It wasn't until nightfall that she finally arrived.. She parked outside the hospital and walked toward them.

--- Sorry ! Today, there was a lot more work and I was detained.

--- We all understand, Miss Evans, sign here and you can pick up your son.

Polly quickly signed the documents and drove August to the car. Because August was weak, he was in a wheelchair. Polly managed to get him into the car, tossed the stroller in the trunk, and they drove back to her.

The road was quite long and long, for such a city. As they stood at the traffic light, the atmosphere in the car became heated. And the red color never changed to green..

--- So....who was the blueskin ?

--- ...? - Augustus gave her a strange look.

--- What ? I'm just wondering who she is and why she was under your blanket.

---....a friend

--- A friend ? You have a strange friend, lying under your blanket and attacking me.

--- She's a close friend of mine.

--- ....

--- ....

It seems that the atmosphere has become even more tense than before.

--- Do you have any other friends like that ?

--- Why are you so interested ?

--- I wonder who my son is friends with, that's all.

--- You don't need to know that.

--- But I want to get to know your surroundings better. I remember seeing three more just like her.

--- I won't tell you anything.

--- ....

The traffic light finally turned green and they continued on their way. They drove for another 10 minutes before they reached Polly's house.

It was an ordinary two-story house, nothing special about it, just a house with a lawn and a small porch.

--- Here it is, our home.

--- Your home

--- Now it's ours. Wait a minute, I'll be right there.

She quickly unfolded the stroller and put Augustus in it, after which they entered the house.

--- Here it is, our home. I was able to buy it for half price, on the first floor there is a kitchen, a living room and a storage room, on the second floor there are bedrooms and a toilet.

--- How do I get to the second floor ?

--- Don't worry, there's a lift here. Previously, a family with a sick grandmother lived here, so it was installed here.

--- Great, I'll ride up and down like an invalid.

--- Don't say that, let me show you to your room.

On the second floor, Polly took August to his room.

This was his room. Nothing interesting, a bed, a cabinet, a table, a lamp, and everything else. An ordinary room.

--- You get settled in, and I'll go make dinner.

--- Can you cook ?

--- Yes. I learned it

--- Clear

She went away and left Augustus to his own thoughts.

" The first day is almost over, it seems it will still be easier than I thought. The main thing is to sit here for all the remaining days. "

He rode up to the window and looked out at the sunset.

" Something seems strange to me. She never knew how to cook, she always bought convenience foods when she learned how to cook ? "

--- August, dinner is ready ! Come down !

" Already ? " - August looked at his watch and noticed that only 10 minutes had passed.

" There's definitely something going on here. "

He went down and rolled into the kitchen. On the table were several salads, a casserole, a small turkey, and macaroni and cheese.

" That's not fucking normal. It can't be cooked in 10 minutes. "

--- Just a second, I'll help you. - she picked him up and sat him down in a chair.

--- Enjoy your meal.

They began to eat. The food was divine, melting in the mouth and leaving a pleasant aftertaste.

" It's impossible. I know how to cook these dishes and all this will take about half an hour. "

Without showing it, August ate calmly. The dinner was held in peace and quiet. After dinner, Augustus went up to his room and wrapped himself up and went to bed. His body fell asleep, but his consciousness began to work at 100%. %

" --- We need an analysis. She didn't know how to cook ,but now she does. She's acting weird, trying to get close to me, even though she didn't care in the past. Interested in my personal life, bought a house in Beach City. This is very strange.

--- It feels like us.

--- How ? - he turned to Cluster

--- She's not alone.

--- In what sense?

--- It is a lot and a little at the same time. It's hard to put it into words, we just feel it.

--- So there's a mystery after all. I think we'll continue tomorrow. There are practically no forces. "

Now both Augustus ' body and mind were asleep.
