My Best Friend

Chapter 16

-Finally

~Max Knight's P.O.V

After what Rosie said I was in shock. I honestly never thought she had a thing for me. Yeah I always liked her more than a friend way, but never thought she felt the same way too. I have to go find her.

I was currently in my car, I kept on calling Rosie. My god why wouldn't she pick up, she can't walk home by herself, she doesn't know where to go. At that moment my mom started calling me, damn it!

"Yeah?"

"Where are you, it's so late to be outside." She asked.

"Sorry Mom. Rosie kind of ran away and I got to go find her or else something bad will happen."

"I'm sure Rosie will be fine, she is a big girl she will find her way. Any ways I need you to be home now your dad is here and he wants to talk with you."

"Sorry Mom I can't, tell Dad that he is gonna have to wait, bye I have to go I have another call." I hung up on her and answered the other call thinking that it might be Rosie.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey Man, you want to hang out tomorrow, we can skip class and do othe-"

"Sorry I'm actually really fucking busy right now so if you don't mind I got to go bye." I hung up on Kyle, he'll probably ask me what happened tomorrow oh well.

~Rose Hearthaway's P.O.V.

Okay I think I kind of got lost. See I was playing this game on my phone and I didn't pay attention to where I was walking and I think I missed a street. Hehe I am really lost. Oh wait I have Siri!! I got Siri out.

"Siri where am I?" I asked her

Siri: hello how are you today?

"No Siri where am I?"

Siri: sorry I can't understand, please repeat.

"Where. Am. I.?"

Siri: looking up where am I. There are over 2,372 answers for where am I.

"No Siri gosh dang it you are useless!"

Siri: have a nice day.

Well that wasn't helpful at all. Some people say it's really helpful, this is my first time trying Siri so my first impression, it's not helpful at all!! now I was just wandering by a bunch of houses, not knowing where I am at all. I'm really scared that something is going to happen at this late of night. I'm not even suppose to be out this late. I won't be able to lie my age if the cops find me. Oh my God! I'm going to get arrested!!! I'm too young to get arrested!

I finally found myself near a gas station. Yes! I wasn't going to go in it but that meant I'm out of the residential area. I sat down on one of the benches and I was thinking of who I can call. I can't call anybody because they are all sleeping, ugh why did I go through with this? I should've just taken an awkward car ride instead of a scary walk home. I had no other choice but to call Max. I was about to call him when I saw a man come out of the gas station with a pack of Red Bull in his hand. He put the pack in the trunck of his car. And then all of a sudden he saw me and started to smile. He had two bottles of Red Bull in his hand and then started walking towards me. Oh no! this ain't gonna be good!

"Hi, what's a pretty lady like you here all alone?" he asked. I grabbed my phone and started texting Max.

Me: Max can you pick me up from this gas station?! Please?

I came up with a lie to tell, "Um I needed some fresh air so I went outside." I said to the guy.

"Oh well here you can have this drink." He handed me a Red Bull.

"No thanks." But he still gave it to me so I had to take it. Then I felt a buzz from my phone. I was relived that he texted me back. I opened my phone acting like nothing was going on between me and the guy, just like a casual person.

Max: where the fuck are you? You are going to have to tell me the name of this gas station and one of the street names.

"So how old are you?" the guy asked the more I look at him the more he looked like he would be a man that would drink a lot he had a navy blue t-shirt with dark blue washed out jeans that was ripped on the knees.

"I am 21 years old." I totally lied to his face but he bought it. I slightly moved in my seat just to look at the name of the gas station. I was making sure that he wouldn't notice me. The gas stations name was Chevron bingo got the name.

"Really I'm 23 I'm not that far of an age from you." He replied. I'm such a good actress I should get an award! I texted Max again.

Me: I'm at a gas station named Chevron but I can't get the street name because this random guy is talking to me and I don't want to blow my cover.

"Oh cool." I replied hoping he would go away. I didn't want him to see the scardness on my face.

"Do you need a ride home?" he asked. My phone buzzed again.

Max: Forget about the street name I know where that is. I'm coming don't do anything stupid!

"No thanks I'm good." I replied. I'm so good at this!

Me: okay hurry cause I'm scared!

"Really it looks like you need a ride it also looks like you are NOT 21. You look more like 19. Come on just hop in my car i'll take you home nice and safe." He said. I was shocked he was close to finding out my age now I was really scared I tried to play it cool but I couldn't I think he could tell that I was scared. Maybe I wasn't as good as I thought I would be.

He started coming closer, "Come on I won't hurt you." he said while coming closer and closer.

"Umm can you leave plea-se." I started stuttering. Dang it I'm dead.

"Lets get into my car and lea-" he got interrupted.

"I wouldn't touch her if I were you." Max said, while standing there with his hands in his pockets. Oh my God I've never been so relived that he is here.

"And why?" the guy asked.

"Because something really bad will happen." He replied.

"Get out of here, go back to where you came from little boy." he said. The man grabbed my arm so tightly and started dragging me to his car.

"Max!" I started crying. And then BOOM Max punched the guy right in his face. The man released me.

"Sorry to fuck up your face, oh wait it was already fucked up to begin with." Max said. Max grabbed me and we left. We reached his car.

"Gosh dang it Rosie don't ever wander off at night ever again." Max said.

"I'm sorry." I said really quietly. "I thought I can do this without anyone's help, but looks like I can't, I can't do anything by myself." I said while tears were pouring down my face.

"You can't do anything cause you are too scared to do anything." Max replied. He enclosed me with a hug. "And you know what you said about how no one probably likes you?" he asked.

"Yeah."

"Well I like you." he said.
