Save Me

Lunch

Frank took me to the parking lot and led me to a white car. I didn't know what it was called but it looked like it could be a race car. Frank opened the passenger door for me. I hesitated but I got in anyway. Franks gently closed the door and ran around to the other side while I just pulled on my seatbelt. He got in and put on his seatbelt then turned to me. "You good?" He seemed really happy.  I nodded my head keeping my hands on my lap and looked out the window as he drived. He's a good driver and I felt safe as he drived. "So when did you move here?" He asked suddenly. I looked at him with a questioning look. "Me and my brothers grew up here till the end of Junior High. Small town so everyone knows everyone." I wrote down I moved in the middle of last year. Were did you go? I was scared to ask. He looked at it at a stop light. Then handed the notepad back. "My family has a tradition that at a certain age the heirs of the family go to a camp. In this camp we learn a certain set of skills. That will help us when we take over the family buisness." I nodded my head in understanding. Though it made sence it also didn't. But I didn't want to distract him while he was driving. I don't get to ride in a car very often so I just enjoyed the ride. It had started to snow again. Eventual we pulled into a parking spot in front of a diner. Frank turned off the engine then turned to me. "We can go somewere else if you want." I gave him the thumbs up and unbuckled my seatbelt and opened the door stepping out of the car. Frank somehow was superfast and was waiting for me at the front of his car. I walked to him and followed him into the diner. He held the door open for me. I noticed though that he was trying to not touch me. Wich made me a bit happy. An women that looked in her late fifties aproached us with I stern look in her eyes that was kinda scary. I subconciously moved behind Frank. "Is that one of my favorite triplet boys." She said her face turning into a bright smile. I don't trust her. "You betcha. It's me sir Frank back from his jorney to uncharted lands." He said trying to make his voice sound like a seriotipical victorian adventuror. It was honestly adorable to all hell. Her gaze turned to me. Or at least the part of me that wasn't hidden by Frank. "And who is this lovely person you brought with you?" She said. Frank thankfully just looked at my position then didn't blow my cover. "This is Nitorian he kinda lost his voice, Nitorian this is Lora my second mother." I waved and Lora waved back. She looked at Frank and he gave her a certain look. She must have understood him cause she nodded her head and grabbed a menu than gidded us to a booth in the backish area. She left after placing the menu in my hands.  I looked over at Frank questionly. He smiled,"I've had everthing on the menu at least a dozen times so I have it pretty well memorized. How about you point on the menu to tell me what you want ?" I nodded in agreement. There were a lot of really good options and in the end I couldn't choose. I don't usally have that may options. The only thing I really ever eat now is school food. I put down the menu and wrote down can't choose. He laughed when he read it, "Would you mind if I just chose then?" I shook my head. He could choose for me cause I really didn't care enough. Almost imediatly Lora apeared ready to take our order. "I'll have the chilli cheese fries with a mountain dew, and Nitorian will have a corn dog with fries and a chocolate milkshake." She smilled at us then left us. I am going to be honest here I have never had a milkshake. Or even ice cream. But everyone says it's good so whatever. "What do you like to do?" Frank asked. I curled my eyebrows in confusion. "Like hobbies. What do you do in your free time?" I thought about it. Than wrote down I draw. I'm not really good but it's fun. He smiled at my answer and his eyes lit up. "What do you draw?" I hesitated. My drawings were kinda private. I don't even know why I told him in the first place. So I wrote down I don't want to talk about it. Frank nodded his head in understanding his smile gone. I felt a little bad cause I kinda like it when he smiles. Right then door opened and the other tripletes walked in. They saw us in the back and they both looked a little relieved. Lora sudenly appeared in front of them greeting them. "Is it okay for them to come over and sit with us? They don't have to sit by you if you don't want them to." I thought about it then quickley wrote down an answer You sit by me and they sit across? Frank smiled and moved imediatly. There was still enough space between us though and for that I was happy. I might feel safer around him but yeah. Jack and Leo slowly aproached us and slowly slid into the booth. "Hey, sorry we left you. Me and Leo had to take care of something." Jack said to me. I didn't get why he apologized for leaving me. I thought he left cause he wanted to. Not cause he had to. Maybe they actually cared about me. Though they knew nothing about me. Wierd. "But you don't need to worry about Victotia and her 'group' anymore though." Leo said to me with a smile. I gave him a confused look. Why not? What did they do? But I honestly did not want to think about it right now. So I didn't ask. Lora came by with our drinks. "A hot choclate for Leo, coke for Jack, mountain dew for Frank, I swear you guys never change. And a chocolate milkshake for the beauty." Then she rollerbladed away. Why did she call me beauty? Eh must have been a slip of the tounge. I looked at my milkshake before me. Well here goes nothing. I took a slip and cold flavor erupted in my mouth. This was amazing. I kept drinking it and suddenly my head started to hurt gripped the sides of my head in pain. Frank put an arm around me,"Brain Freaze." The pain faded quickly. What the hell is a brain freaze? I realized Franks arm around me and I froze. What do I do? What can I do? Though before I did anything he moved his arm away. I sighed silently. He probably was just trying to comfort me. "We also found this." Leo said pulling my backpack and handing it over. I took it quickly and tore it open. It all looked untouched. Witch was a miracle. I kept it in my lap as I wrote down thank you. They were all smiling. I realized that so was I. "Anytime," Leo said," by the way you look best when you're smiling." I felt my self blush. Internaly I knew he didn't mean it so looked down hiding my face. These boys were so strange. I didn't get why they're being nice to me. Though I guess it might be better than being stuck handcuffed in my locker. Which brought me to a realy great question. How did you know I was in there? They all seemed a little startled by my question. And at first none of them answered. "I heard you crying. I have really good hearing." Jack finally answered. Just then the food arrived and they all relaxed. "Food for the for kings of this grand land." She said as she handed out everybodys food. "Thank you kind peasant." Frank said before she left. The four of them laughed and I smilled. Lora left us again to serve the other tables. The tripletes dug in. I took my first bite and the rest is history. Who knew such food existed. I mean I've had corn dogs and fries before. Maybe it's the sauce. Nope. Well watever it is it's delicious. Though the milkshake was still my favorite. I realized that if I took it in sips none of the brain freaze thingy. Halfway threw the meal the boys slowed down and started asking me more questions. "What's your favorite color?"
Blue
"What's your favotite animal?"
Wolf
"Season?"
Winter
"Why?"
Cause I like the snow.
Among other stuff. I didn't really ask any questions. But usally when I answered they would answer as well. It was... nice and kinda... fun. It was nice hanging out with someone that wasn't trying to beat the shit out of you, or ignoring your existence completly. They didn't even care that I couldn't say anything. When we finally finished eating Lora came back over. "It's on me boys." She said as Frank offered the money for the food. Frank opened his mouth to object but Lora stopped him. "Don't even think about it. Just go out and have fun." We all thanked her and the triplets promised to see her soon. Then we left. They were still giving me space put also were staying close to me. Jack held the door for me this time. They stopped in front of the car and turned to me. I expected to tell me to walk but they just asked "front steat or back seat. I chose the back seat and there was a moment were it seemed like they were going to fight over who sat in the back. Though only for a moment and then Jack joined me in the back. Leo was driving this time. "Alright were should we go next."Leo asked while adjusting everything to him. The triplets were identical they had light brown hair styled the same way, faces that were almost hard to look at because they are so beautiful. Though they also had a few physical features that made then different from eachother. Leo was tallest and very buff and muscly. While Jack was the shortest of the three and skiny with not a lot of muscles. Frank was like a middle ground. Though they were all taller and had more muscles than me. I am short and skinny and have zero muscle mass. I have white hair and guess what, my face is ugly. Though not the point. What was the point again? Whatever back to the present. "Maybe we should take him home. Schools out and we don't want his parents to worry." Jack suggested. I looked at the clock. Oh shit he was right schools out, like 30 minutes ago! They seemed to notice my slightly scared look. "What's your address?" Frank asked. I quickly wrote it down. And we took off.
