Unexpected

Chapter 4: The feeling wasn't wrong

~ Rescue me! Show me who I am! Cause I can't believe this is how the story ends! Fight for me! If it's not to late help me breathe again! No this can't be how the story ends!~

(Max POV)

There she was. That beautiful face brightened up the whole shop and people didn't even give it a second thought.

My knees was weak but I got myself up to meet her at the door.

I reached out to shake her hand. I hope she didn't notice that I was shaking.

''Hey! I'm Max. I'm so happy you showed up.'' To my surprise my voice didn't fail me.

She smiled and I felt my heart skip a beat when she took my hand. Her skin touched mine and I felt sparks.
I swear that I was smiling like an idiot.

Get a hold of yourself Max! You can't make a fool out of yourself now! You don't even know the girl!

''Hey! I'm Enthea.'' her voice had me starstruck. It was so beautiful, the sweetest sound I've ever heard.
She had the most beautiful name.

(Enthea POV)

It was really him! He was standing right in front of me! Smiling from ear to ear! Okay calm down girl! You don't know the kid!

I took his hand and I felt sparks fly down my spine and I got butterflies in my stomach. It felt so amazing, just the simple touch of skin gave such an amazing feeling.

''Hey! I'm Enthea''

''Let's sit down.'' he said and pulled me with him to the booth. He let go of my hand and took my other hand and led me into the booth so I was sitting on one side and he on the other. He laid his hands on the table and leaned forward he was looking right into my eyes and I couldn't bring myself to look away. I found myselt yet again lost in his gaze.

''Tell me something about yourself.'' he said and lent back again.
I leaned back too and put my hands in my lap.

''I don't have anything to tell.'' I said slightly embarrassed that I couldn't tell him anything. I don't tell anyone anything I just let them think my life is boring and that I'm happy.

He rolled his eyes at me in disbelief and then smiled.

''Come on. There must be something you can tell me. What do you like to do on your free time?'' he dragged his hands down the table to his lap and left them there.

I bowed my head and thought about what to tell him. I looked at him through my eyelashes.

''I like to hangout with my friends and listen to music and read.'' GOD! can my life sound more boring!

To my surprise he kept smiling and looking at me like he actually was interested of what I was saying.

''Let's play 20 questions.'' he said with a gentle smile.

''Sure, you start.'' I said with my head still down.

''Do you have any siblings?'' He asked.

''Yep. I have 1 big brother then I have 2 brothers by heart. Or at least thats what we say.'' I smile thinking of every time Joey and Zach would argue with the teachers that said we weren't related. They would always make a big show about it and I would always end up as red as a tomato.

''Brothers by heart?'' he asked with a smile. It felt so strange, cause he didn't judge me. I lifted my head up to look at him and smiled. I sat and gazed at the salt on the table as I spoke.

''Yeah. They are my best friends. They've been here for me since we were kids. We do everything together.''

All my memories came back...the good once....the bad once....
I started to see blurry and I started to shake a little.

I saw Max's face change to a worried look. He leaned forward and looked closer at me. I bowed my head so he wouldn't see my.

''Hey hey hey don't get upset. I'm sorry I shouldn't had said anything. I'm so sorry.'' he panicked and his words just flew out of his mouth.

I wiped my tears away and put on a smile.

''Haha no it's okay. Just so many good memories.'' I half lied and giggled to make it sound more really.

He hesitated but opened his mouth again to talk.

''But why are you crying then?'' he whispered.

''Haha it's happy tears,'' I lied ''I'm so happy for everything they've helped me with and all the fun we've had.'' I sounded really, I hope I got him.
He hesitated agin but dropped the subject and leaned back.

''My turn. What's your favorite color?'' trying to change the subject and I think he just went with it and answered.

''Purple. And yours?'' the smile on his face found it's way back.

I smiled.

''Blue!'' I said in a happy childish tone and I felt myself smile form ear to ear. He smiled at me.

''Do you want to order something?'' he said and stood up.

''Sure.'' I stood up too but he but his hand in my shoulder hand pushed me back down.

''I'll go and order it, just tell me what you want to order.'' he said with a gentle smile.

''I'll take a pumpkin-spice frape and a cheese and ham toast.'' I told him and bowed down to take out some money from my bag. When I looked back up he was gone. I saw him at the line. As if he sensed my gaze he turned around and winked with a big smile. He waved his money like a teas. A laugh escaped my mouth and I put my wallet back and sat up straight again.

I gazed out in the shop. There were only a few people here. An older man at the window reading the newspaper, a couple of young people just hanging around.

10 minutes later Max came back with our food. He order himself a black coffee and a sandwich. He sat back down and we lost ourselves in our conversation.
We talked about our childhoods and our favorites of everything. It felt so good to talk to someone that actually was interested. It was hard though, I had this huge rock in my stomach cause it felt so easy to lie to him.

I felt so bad that I couldn't tell him who the real me was but that was someone I just wanted to forget.
I haven't told anyone who I really am, it's just to hard for me so I keep to myself and my brothers.

After we talked for a while after finishing our food a to familiar voice interrupted us.

''You whore! What the hell are you doing here!'' his voice made me shot down completely. I didn't know what to do. I rushed out of the store and when I hit the street a strong hand grabbed my arm. I looked up and saw his frightening face...he was pissed of and drunk, it scared me to death.
I felt my tears streaming down my face already. I felt the alcohol in his breath.

''Let go of her! Who do you think you are?!'' I heard Max scream in both anger and fear as he ran out to us.

''You fucking whore! How dare you run away from me!'' he screamed in my face and I felt a huge pain going through my whole face when he slapped me, hard. I fell to the ground and was to afraid to get back up.

''Don't touch her!'' Max angry scream made me flinch. I didn't like to hear him scream even if I didn't know him that well.

I didn't see him move but just a second later I received a hard blow to my ribs and my breath got stuck in my throat. I let out a loud scream in pure pain.

I felt so embarrassed that people could see me hurt like this. He was so drunk so I saw him stumble backwards and I heard a guys scream;

''Don't lay a finger on her Frank!'' I recognized that voice...it was Zach.

I looked up and saw him run to where I was laying,groaning in pain and I received a blow to my head and everything went black.
