Was it meant to be? (a Mingus Reedus love story)

Chapter thirty nine

*2 weeks later*

It had been two weeks since the paintball fight between Me, Mingus, Norman and Mingus's friends. I had a cast on my arm from falling 6 feet from a hiding spot. I had broken my arm and Mingus felt bad. I didn't mind though, it hurt but it totally wasn't his fault. I wasn't looking and some kid shot me near my helmet and I lost my balance. Norman was really worried and he started freaking out while i laid on the ground crying. Now that I think about it, it actually sounds really funny.

Me and Mingus were sitting in his apartment when we heard a knock at the door. Mingus got up and looked through the peephole. He turned around and said "Be quiet." I was already quiet but now I was worried. Mingus walked over to his phone and starte texting someone. He looked at the message then back at the door. Mingus looked at me and then pointed a finger at a nearby closet. I got up quietly and got inside the closet. When I closed it I heard Mingus open the door. I heard a deep voice say "Have you seen my little girl?" Mingus said "um... What?" "My little girl, she's about 4 feet tall, skinny, she looks about 6-7 years old. She said she was going to go play in the hallway for a little bit and when I went to get her, she was gone." Mingus didn't say anything for a while until he said "Yeah, come to think of it, there was this little girl running down the other side of the hall. She was heading towards the Stephensons at the end." The man said "Thank you so much kid. If i find her i'll be back." I could see Mingus smile and I stepped out of the closet. Mingus looked at me and I walked over and hugged him. I whispered during our hug "That was pretty terrifying." Mingus laughed and said "I know, I was not expecting him to be like that.. Calm." I nodded and then said "I hope he finds his little girl." Mingus nodded. We went back over to the couch and Mingus turned on his Xbox. We played online for almost 4 hours before Norman came home and we told him what happened. Norman looked down and said "The cool stuff always happens when i'm not around." I laughed.

Before we went to bed, Norman kept treating me and Mingus like we were babies. He literally went to the little store next to the apartment and bought two baby bottles. Then afterwards he told us a bedtime story. He was being so random but it was funny. Norman and Me grabbed a hold of Mingus and tied his hands behind his back and then we made him drink from the baby bottle.Back home, me and Mayzie would usually do something this. I missed Mayzie, I hadn't seen her for about 3 months. I decided I was going to call her tomorrow.
