And after doing 100 pushups, I lay down on the floor panting like crazy, and I was feeling so fucking hot right now. I also felt like I was going to die! and Frank spoke casually, "You did that? "Good, I did not think you would be able to do that. Now stand up and run around the warehouse till you do 10,000 steps," and my eyes almost pop out of my face when I hear what he said... I could not believe it. 10,000 steps? That was a fucking 5 miles!!! Is he trying to kill me?!! Or train me! I knew this training would be tough, but this is just insane! I could not even speak because all my mouth was doing was breathing right now, and Frank saw Leo's emotions on his face, and Frank smiled and spoke, "Well, kid, if you want to be as strong as I am, then you have to do this, so it's on you. Give up right now or do it."
I look at Frank, and I blink, and then I slow down my breathing, and get on my feet, and without speaking, I start to jog around the warehouse, and for a second, Frank is shocked. Frank right now expected Leo to argue or even just outright quit. Frank did not expect Leo to run... and for a second, there was a little hint of respect in Frank's eyes for Leo. In Frank's thoughts were, 'Dumb kid, you got guts—no, you got determination, I give you that,' and Frank smiled, while Leo, on the other hand, ran his life out, but Leo did not give up, or well, his body did. After 1200 steps, Leo falls to the ground, and he is breathing way too fast, and my eyes close, and everything goes dark...
And I woke up on a bed? I look around; I was still in the warehouse, and I move, but my body hurts. I fucking get cramps all around my body! and I let out grunts and a loud "ahhh!" and just then Frank walks out from the back, and Frank pushes me back on the bed, and Frank says, "Don't move, kid. You messed your body up; now rest and recover." I lie back and don't move, and I take a deep breath, and I mutter, "How long have I been out for?" and Frank casually says, "3 hours? Well, it's almost the afternoon now anyway. Get out now; you come again at 7 am next morning," and I slowly sit up, and I speak, "Yeah, sure," and then I slowly put my step down, and my leg hurts like hell, but I slowly start to walk outsidethe warehouse, and Frank mutters, "He still wants to come after what happened today? hahahha" and Frank laughs in the empty warehouse....
And I somehow drag my body to a nearby restaurant, and I sit down, and I order some chicken and eggs and bread and a salad, and I eat everything like I was a hungry beast... Well, everyone around me gives me looks, but I don't care; I was way too hungry, and the food was also pretty good, and after that, the bill comes around to $34, which I pay without a worry, and then I stand up. My body was still sore, but I felt a little better as I walked slowly out of the restaurant, and while walking back to the apartment, I bought a few cleaning supplies, and also I bought a few groceries and a new hoodie and pants, and after doing all the boring stuff, I ended up at the apartment.
As soon as I walked in, Abby was sitting on the couch. She spoke, "Where were you? You did not even take your phone with you, and also what is all of this stuff?" And I put the bags for the cleaning stuff down and the groceries on the table, and I say, "Those are the cleaning supplies because the bathroom is a mess, and also those are groceries..." And then I start to walk back to my room, and Abby just shakes her head at the grocery bags and then at her brother's back, and Abby was shocked! Never in her life did she ever think her brother would buy stuff for the house! Where did he ever get the money from?
As I put down the bag, which had my clothes, on my bed, Abby comes running into my room, her feet padding on the floor, and Abby speaks: "What the hell, Leo! You brought groceries!" And I look back at her, and I speak in an annoyed tone, "Yeah, so what?" and Abby speaks fast, "What do you mean, 'what'? You have been acting so weird for the last day! You woke up late on the last day. Not only that, but you also did not ask for any food or any money. You went out last night, and then I don't even know when you got back home! And today again you go away somewhere for half the day! Come back in the evening with fucking groceries! and ZERO EXPLANATION for any of these things!"
And I don't even get a second to speak; Abby keeps speaking, "And you don't even ask me or speak to me! It's almost like you don't even care about me! "What is up with you, Leo?" And then Abby runs out of my room. I knew she was sobbing a little... and I sit down on my bed, and well, if I have to admit it, then yeah, I have been trying to avoid Abby because, well, I don't know how to deal with her. I could keep acting as a jerk brother, but for how long can I keep that act running? Ugh, I grab my head. I was always bad with other people. I understand others, but that's why I stay away from others... but why do I feel this burn in my heart like I almost wanted to say sorry... to a girl I don't even know...?
Emotion—whose emotion is this? ...
