Expecting The Unexpected

Humpfrey

Chapter Eight - Humpfrey

MAX'S POV:

It turned out that me and Adam had alot in common. We share the same interest in football teams, books, films, restaurants and tv programmes.

We had just finished our discussion about the film 'The Da Vinci Code'. It was nice to have someone with so much in common with, and he wasn't old like some peoples Dad's.

"So, did you really carry my daughter two miles to here?" he asked quite seriously this time.

"Yeah, I did. She was in pain and I couldn't just leave her there," I admitted.

"Yeah, but still. You didn't have to carry her here, you could have called a taxi to bring you both here. But you carried her all the way here," he sounded impressed with my actions.

"Well, I'm nice like that," I replied smiling.

"Thank-you. Without you, she would have been in alot more pain and her injuries would have been way worse. So thank-you," he praised me.

"Your welcome. Anyway, I didn't see her boyfriend Zack come to her rescue," I just heard Adam groan at the sound of Zacks name.

"I'm not surprised, when I'm around him, he gives off a bad vibe. I don't really like the idea of him and Danielle together," he said back.

"I know how you feel, I mean he didn't even come and see her whilst shes in here," I added.

"Typical, typical Zack," he claimed. I couldn't help but smirk at that remark. So Adam didn't like Zack either, another thing we have in common.

"Plus, it's not like he doesn't know she's here. I've heard her leave countless voicemails and send numerous texts to him," I revealed to him.

We sat in silence for a little. It was now almost four in the morning, I wasn't gonna sleep until I knew that she is okay when she wakes up.

I know that I tease her alot in school and that I used to torment her when we were younger, but sometimes it's only out of boredem and other times is because I see how frustrated she gets. And she looks cute when she's distressed.

"What do you want to do with your life Max?" I heard from beside me.

"Excuse me?" I answered back.

"What do you want to do in the future? You know, hopes and dreams?" he explained.

"I wanna help people, maybe be a lawyer. I don't wanna see innocent people wronged for no reason, and I want to help them with their lives so they can succeed in what they wanna do," I admitted to him truthfully.

"That's sounds nice, your a good person Max," he complimented me back.

"Thanks Adam," I replied.

"School good? Grades and that?" he grilled me. This is turning into more of a interview than a conversation.

"Yeah, straight A* student. I'm actually in a few classes with Danielle at school," I defended.

"Ahhh, nice to know," he claimed. I'm thinking he may be one of those gun bearing Dad's I hear about that chases after their daughters ex's with their rifles. Good thing I'm not an ex.

"You can go to sleep you know. She'll still be here when you wake up," Adam added onto the end.

"I know, it's not like she can go anywhere," I motioned to her ankle. She was leaning on it which means that the meds that Doctor Henley put her on were working.

"I gathered, but I'll watch her whilst you sleep and then when you wake up, you can watch over her and I'll sleep. Deal?" he asked in return.

"Deal," I said as I tried to get comfortable in my armchair, it's still my chair. I shut my eyes and then fell fast asleep.
