SUMMER TALE (On Hold)

I Beat Death Twice

Flash back

"Can you pay the bill?"We exclaimed at the same time.
"What? " We said at the same time.
" I didn't bring the money. " Again at the same time.
" You don't have money? "This time I was the one to speak.
" Yeah, that's what I said. "He said in a duh tone.

" You both don't have money."I turned to see a well built tattooed man glaring at us. I looked at Austin with horrified face. What are we gonna do now?

"Yeah, we don't have money but my friend lives nearby I can call him and ask him to bring money. "Austin said facing the man. Thank god for Austin's friend, Thank god. The man did not say anything, he just kept on shooting daggers at our direction.
Austin took out the phone from the back pocket of his jeans and dialed the number.
" Hey sup. "He spoke to the phone while taking slow strides at my direction.
" Yeah, I am fine bro. I actually called ya to ask for a favor. "
Now he held my hand. What's up with him? What is he trying to do? I looked up at him, yeah up because he is tall, so much taller then me, I hate to be short. I don't have problem with my height but I want to grow to ride motorcy... Wait... What am I talking about? God, so much distraction. Where was I? Yeah, I looked up at him, he has stopped talking on the
phone and now was talking to the man but earlier when I looked at him before distraction he was talking on the phone. Now why am I telling you what he was doing earlier? I know the answer, when I am nervous I go nuts and right now I am N. E. R. V. O. U. S.

Austin pulled me breaking the train of my thoughts, we were walking towards the exit of pizzeria with the bald well built man who looks pretty much like Pitbull which I just happen to notice, closely following us behind.

"You know I can walk. You don't need to pull me like some five year old and I won't even get lost. "I wishpered to Austin. He just glared at me and tightened his hold.

Before walking outside the pizzeria he wishpered something, something because I didn't hear what he was trying to say.

As soon as we were out of the Pizzeria he started to run. Why is he running? Where is his friend? Austin is craaaaaaaazy. I sound like Olaf. Did I tell you I love Olaf from Frozen, Doug from Up, Boo from Mons.....

"What are you doing Summer, run "Austin yelled. Are we in marathon or something? Why would I run?

" Where is your.... "I was now being pulled by Austin. I nearly tripped but he kept on pulling me and running, fast. I looked back and saw Pitbull look alike chasing us. Oh!!! Now I get it we are running from him, so all this call and his friend was fake. Austin is smart, I am smarter but nervousness wrecks my brain. Now, I was running fast by that I mean I was trying to run fast but Austin still held my hand . I will never admit it but him holding my hand was giving me a giddy feeling and I was liking it but I am pretty positive that this is due to my nervousness. Did I just admit it by thinking that I will never admit it? Damn you nervousness.

After we were a good distance away, from the pizzeria we stopped running, we were both panting heavily. I raised my gaze to look at Austin between the pants to find that he was already looking at me. Our gaze met and the never ending laughter started with lots of hoots, howling and chuckles. I was in verge of tears and my stomach was hurting due to the continuous - undying laughter.

It was dusk, the sun was setting and the sky was getting dark and I was walking in a lonely street with my so called "enemy" with little, scratch it, with no idea of where we were or how far my house was from this place. I am one hell of a lucky person. Sarcasm, to be noted.

"What's the smell?", I said in a whisper scrunching up my nose in a futile attempt of blocking the stinking odor. I looked at Austin and found him smoking, which infuriated me to no end. I despise smoking and smokers.

"What are you doing? ", I asked him, placing my hands on the waist and raising both of my eyebrows in order to look intimidating.

" Smoking", he said without any interest and blew out a smoke ring in front of my face. The little girl within me wanted to clap my hands and ask him to do it once more, but I successfully suppressed the little girl deep within. Seems like the intimidating looking part didn't work , let me try raising only one brow, maybe then I will look more intimidating.

When I was small I practiced raising one brow looking at the mirror everyday, perhaps I will be able to pull this stunt now.

"What are you trying to do? "Austin said chuckling. I realised that one of my hand has reached on its own accord to cover half of my face in order to stop the brow from raising while it's twin raised. I quickly pulled my hand back. I must have looked like a lunatic. So much for being intimidating.

While Austin was busy laughing and making fun of me, I reached for his cigarette and threw it. He stopped laughing and currently was giving me his deadly glare. This is not good.
"Why did you do that? "He said in a dangerously low voice.
" Do what?" I questioned his question, playing dumb.
"Why did you throw that? "He questioned through gritted teeth.
" I.. .I.. hate when people smoke and it's not good for your health."I answered.
"Do I look like I care what you hate and what you love? Listen, just because we spend a day and I laughed with you a little doesn't me we "- he pointed towards him and then me-" are friends, we are not even remotely close to being friends. So girl stay in your limit, don't try to cross your boundaries. "He said with coldness in his voice that matched his cold stare. That surely pained my heart but as always I pushed away the emotions, kept my face stern making it look emotionless and answered with voice matching his coldness,
" Did I ever mention us being friends? The smell was giving me a headache that is why I threw it. Austin stop giving yourself so much importance and a feeding your ego. Everything I do doesn't concern you. "

With that I purposely bump his shoulder with mine and walk ahead leaving the infuriated Austin behind.

I looked behind and guess what he was not following me, why would he? He made it clear that we are not friends . I didn't expect him to do so. I am not even disappointed. I don't care.

I am not scared. I am not scared. I am not scared. I hear sound of footsteps behind me. OK, I was lying I am scared. I am freaking scared, so much scared that I am shivering and I am gonna pee any second. I hope it's Austin but I passed him 15 minutes ago and last time I checked he was not there and one could not walk that fast. I want to look behind but I did not, instead I began walking faster, the footstep behind matching my pace atleast that's what I thought. Now, I started to run.
"Hey, wait. " A familiar voice called but nervousness had control over me, the rational thinking part of my brain long gone so I kept on running.

" Don't cross the road. "
And I did what I was forbidden to do, I ran to cross the road. As if I am going to listen to a stalker , I am so much smar.......
Beep.. Beep...
I heard the honking and saw two brightlights, I wanted to run but I was struck frozen in the middle of the road waiting for my death;but it never came. Before the car hit me I was roughly pulled, the car passed, the driver throwing colourful words for me. I ignored the profanities and looked up to see Austin' face with concern etched on it but it soon evaporated replaced by the cold glare .My face lit up as I told Austin about my new found discovery about myself, "Oh my God!! I am awesome I beat death twice in a day. Maybe, I am immortal. I am superhuman."
Austin looked at me amused and with a small grin said "You are crazy."
" And you are Olaf. "I answered.
" What? "He asked.
" Nothing "I answered and started singing Do you wanna build a snowman?
