My Hero[Discontinued]

Chapter 20

I lay on the bench, crying, until I hear footsteps. I keep my eyes closed and tighten my body, hearing three light thumps on the ground. "Maggie?"

"What John?"

"Ares you okays?"

I try and hold my laugh in, because of his "accent". I open my eyes, still laying down, and see Adam, Max, and John sitting in front of me. "I don't know anymore...."

"Why'd you run?" Adam asks.

"How'd you find me?"

"I asked you first." He says, smiling a little.

"That journal has everything in it."

"So it's like a diary." Max says.

"No. Diaries are for girls." I giggle a little. "But yeah.. Kind of like a diary."

"How come I never saw, or even heard of it, before today?"

"Adam, you're my brother. You would've wanted to read it."

"Maybe when I was younger, but your privacy is yours."

"Whatever. Now, for my question. How'd you find me?"

"Max drove us here." John says. I look over to Max and he look concerned, but trying to smile. I smile at him and he smiles, a little more, back.

"I'm actually glad you guys found me..."

"Well, let's go, then." Adam says.

I sit up. "I don't feel like I should drive.." 

They stand up and Adam helps me up. "Then," He turns to John, "you and I will go back in Maggie's car." He turns back to me. "You can go with Max in his." John and Max nod and we walk off to the cars with Adam and I following behind them. Adam whispers to me, "Ask him." I nod, even though I'm not going to.

Max unlocks the car and I get in. We drive behind Adam and John in silence for a minute, until, "Maggie?"

Laying back in the seat with my eyes closed, because I was light-headed, I ask, not trying to sound rude, "What, Max?" 

"Two things." I sigh, thinking they're bad.

"Okay...?" I mentally cry.

"Are you okay?"

"I guess. I mean, I'm still alive, aren't I?" I open my eyes and look at him.

He does a simple, little laugh. "Okay. Second thing." He stops at the light, Adam and John ahead of it, and turns to me. "That offer still standing out there?"

(A/N)

At the point I'm writing this, no one's read my story, but if you ARE reading this, and got to this point, yes, I did leave you at a cliff hanger at only 371 words.... They're usually 500 or something, but I wouldn't know. I just write them, I don't pay attention how long they are. I'm not that kind of person, sorry. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
