Help Our Love

Hey guys! I'm new to this. I'm no pro.. I'll probably get 0 reads but eh , I like to write so it's fine with me (:

My phone is off. Great.

"Excuse me , sir?" I ask a random guy I see in front of me.

" yes ?" He softly replies.

When he turns to look down at me , he notices I'm short. He is very thin & tall. From what I can tell , he's handsome. I didn't notice his hair was black & red until he brushed his hair with

his hands.

"Hello ? Miss?" He waves his hand in my face dramatically.

"Oh , I'm sorry. May I use your phone please?" I shyly ask.

"Oh yeah, hold on." He grabs his phone out of his pocket and hands it to me.

"Thank you so much!" I tell the nice guy.

When I grab the phone, I press the home button & can't seem to actually know how to use it. Stupid Iphone.

"Um, sir ?" I quietly say.

"Oh , call me Michael. You calling me sir makes me feel old. " he tells me with a smile on his face.

"Sorry Michael , well um can you help me use this. I'm not good at touch phones " I look down at the expression in his darling face.

"Ha, then what do you have? Or do you even have a phone?" He takes the phone away from my hands & gives it back to me with the number keyboard showing on the screen.

"Thanks , & well I have a blackberry" I tell him.

"That explains it." He starts laughing. I can't really tell at what, me or my phone ?

"What?" I ask with a retarded smile on my face.

"Nothing." He smiles at me. He's lieing.

"Well , I'm going to call someone , can you give me a minute?" I nicely ask.

"Oh yeah, of course." He smiles at me.

"Thanks" I smile back.

I dial June's number , just to tell her I'm fine. Since I walked out of that party last night & they kept calling me until my phone died. I told her I needed some time alone , so she let me be. I love her , she's my soulmate.

"Okay , well I'll see you later June , love ya' bye!" I say to June through the phone.

I give Michael back his phone & thank him.

"Are you walking alone?" He asks.

"Uh yeah , unless you want to call Casper a real human then no." Sarcasm.

" Sarcastic , aren't ya'?" He pokes me.

I laugh harder than I was suppose too. He poked me in my ticklish part!

" Now I know your ticklish part !" He starts laughing. "Say , I never got your name?" He adds on.

" I guess , & can we start walking. We're just standing here like-" I get cut off by him talking. Rude.

" yeah , but I never got your name ?" He starts walking so do I .

"April. My name's April"

"That's a nice name , is your sisters name August ? " haha very funny.

" Actually , her name was Jane. " I tell him . He notices my frown.

"I'm sorry , I didn't mean- " I cut him off.

" it's okay really , she's probably still alive. Who knows?"

" what do you mean she's probably still alive ?" He asks , sounding very interesting in this topic.

" well , she ran away from home when I was 12 & I haven't seen her then. "

" can I ask why she ran away?" He tells me. " I'm sorry , i really shouldn't have said that. "

" you say sorry a lot , it's okay "

" sorry." He smiles. Oh god.

" she ran away because my mom was very ill & if she died they would have sent us to a foster home. She was scared so she ran away. "

" were you scared?"

" I came from a foster home."

"Oh , so you're adopted?"

" yeah , my biological mom didn't want me. She would beat me a lot so, my social worker took me away from her & put me in a foster home."

" it sounds like you had a tough life"

"Let's 'rephrase' that, I have a tough life." I tell him , and see his eyes go wide.

" I'm sorry to hear that."

" there's no need to be sorry , if someone is supposed to be sorry it's me."

" I hope your life gets better." He smiles at me.

" I've been hoping for that my whole life " have I?

" say , how old are you ? "

"17 , you?" My birthday is on Friday!

" 18." He says , sounding very proud.

"My birthday is on Friday by the way"

" now I get why they called you April "

"Yeah." I hate it.

" maybe we can hang out on your birthday ? I'll take you out to eat. We can get to know each other?" He's basically asking me on a date.

" sure , why not! It is my birthday !" My voice cracked. Great. "Give me your phone." I demand.

"Why?" He tells me.

"I'll put myself in your contacts, you just have to show me how."

"Okay , here!" He starts laughing . At me not knowing how to use an iPhone?

He gives me his phone with 'new contact' on the screen. I put my name with a penguin emoji & type in my number, and finally save it.

"Here" i hand him his phone.

"I Know what im getting you for your Birthday " he tells me.

" oh , You really don't have to buy me

anything. I'm used to not getting anything. " I tell him but he's tenacious.

"I'm getting you something. End of story." Fine.
