The Unexpected

Story

"so why have you been stalking me?" We have been driving less than five minutes but the question was bothering me.

"Oh so you do recognize me" he said still focused on the road.

"Mhmm, and I remember you acting all creepy at the gym, then you were nice to me at the part- wait, were you watching me the whole night?"

"Ugh, yes, the whole week truth be told."

"Well that's crazy."I said shaking my head. "So why didn't you come to our house sooner, why wait"

"Well" he stopped talking moving his hand around the staring wheel looking slightly nervous. "I ran away from faster care when I was...13. I should have probably wait until I was older, because it wasn't easy for a thirteen year old to be on the street-

"So- so you were- homeless all this time?" I asked gently.

"Uhm...no, not exactly. When I was 15, I was..." He paused as if looking for the right words. " I had to, hustle for food-"

"Do you mean steel?"

He inhaled and turned to look at me for a second. "Yes."

"So..."

"Allow me to finish?" He stopped me.

"Mhmm" I mumbled then looked down at my hands.

"I remember it was a Christmas, I was stealing from a grocery store, but I got caught... almost. There was this kid-around my age at the time, sitting outside the store who saw me running and showed me the way to his hide out. And that's where I lived until I was 17 I... worked to get my own apartment, and I only started to look for you guys a few days ago. I saw you and a blonde at a coffee shop. And I started following you after that day, the day that I found you."

"I'm so sorr-"

"Why are you apologizing?" He asked looking a bit upset. "You have no need to apologize."

"I'm sor- I mean.. yh?"

And that ended the conversation. There was silence for about fifteen minutes. Very uncomfortable silence might I add.

It was so sad to hear him say all that. He had no home for most of his childhood. I couldn't help but feel more upset just thing that my mother could have given a child this faith, why could she have give birth to him just to give him away.

I was drawn from my thoughts at his words. "We're here"

I looked from my window to the windshield to see an old apartment building. And I couldn't help but noticed it's structure, it was leaning to one side. It was painted in blue and orange that was now striping. It looked... abandoned, but showing by the cars in the small parking lot, it wasn't.

"It's better on the inside" he said as if reading my mind.

We walked up about three flight of stairs, to which I must add was very tiring.

"Uhhh! Now I understand why your so fit." I said panting with my hands on my knees.

He laughed "nope this here... is all gym work" he said motioning to his upper body.

"Show off"

We both started laughing "oh and I must warn you, I do not live alone." He said opening the door to his apartment.

When he said it's better on the inside, he wasn't lieing. It was small but cozy. Once in, you have a view of each room.The living room and the kitchen are in the same room there's an island parting them off. Frist step in the apartment your in the living room pushed to the lower left behind it you have the kitchen. To the right of the room there's two doors, my guess the bathroom and a bedroom. And for a boy's apartment it's really clean

"You weren't lieing when you said it gets better on the inside."

"Yeah, Alex delt with the décor and I'm a clean freak so."

"Who's Alex?" I asked confused

"My room mate"

"Oh." Then it came to me. "Was he...like the boy from the story"

"Yes. And it wasn't a story, that was what happened to me."

"I'm sorry, I don't-"

"Yeah I know" he cut my sentence short then started to open the door that was to our right.

We walked in to a black haired guy lieing facedown in a pillow with his feet wide open dropping of the bed. And I wondered, how isn't he stifling.

"Alex dude! not cool!" He exclaimed causing the guy- Alex to jump to his feet.

"Am up!" He shouted. "Oh it's you" he added looking disappointed then dropped his body back onto the bed.

"Who were you expecting Justin fu- I mean... Justin Bieber. Get up!" He said the slapped him on his feet.

"Okay okay whatever Patrick." Alex mumbled getting up stopped midway when he saw me. "Well hello there" he said now smirking at me while standing up probably just giving me a full view of him.

I said this alot but...I must say... he is handsome. He has blonde hair not his real hair colour because the roots aren't blonde, there brown. He's well built with the same tattoo as Hunter on his neck. Weird, or maybe just a friend thing.

"Hunter! You got my approval with this one! She looks alot hotter then the others!" He shouted to Hunter that I wasn't even aware that wasn't in the room til now.

"Ew. No. That's gross!" He exclaimed from across the room throwing somethings in a bag.

"Can I have her then?" He asked in a low voice talking as if I'm not right here caming closer to me still smirking.

"Move! No. She's my sister you perv." He said appearing between us within a second pushing Alex back on the bed.

"How old is she?" He asked folding his arms.

"17, why?" He asked confused still standing in front of me.

I think they forgot I'm right here.

"Then technically I'm not a perv." He answered.

"Shut up! No you cannot have her, and that's finally"

"Hello, hi, guys, you both know I'm right here right?" I'm spoke up moving myself from behind Hunter a bit amused by there bickering.

"Right. So why am I talking to him then? When I should be talking to you." He said getting up."

"Alex" Hunter said in a stern voice.

"Okay geesh" he replied raising his hands in surrender, but when he turned his back to him he winked at me, smirking.

I smiled in response....it never hurts to smile.

"So when did you find her?" He asked speaking to Hunter.

"Last week"

"Coo...what are you doing?"

"Packing." Hunter answered bluntly.

"I know your packing" Alex said smirking at him, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"No I'm- shut up, your so annoying" Hunter mumbled then continue putting clothes in the bag.

"No but for real though, what you doing?"

"Packing" he repeated.

"Why"
