In The Midst Of It All
Chapter Fourteen
I really couldn’t get a break,could I? Even when all I wanted was to get a Caramel Mocha and to relax in a quaint little cafe. No,I just had to see one of the two people that I honestly didn’t even want to look at,at the moment.
Okay,I guess I was being melodramatic- my life wasn’t that bad.
But still.First world problems.
Nonetheless,I still entered the cafe.Elissa turned to look at me and she also looked as if she was crying.A pang of guilt coursed through me.I don’t know why I felt so bad.Maybe it was due to the fact that Max kissed me when I wanted to kiss Chris.But that wouldn’t happen.
Yes,I was finally admitting my feelings for him.Although,if he had feelings for me,I had no idea. Quite doubtful,knowing his age and all.
It took me a moment to realize that Elissa was telling me something.I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion in her direction and sat down next to her as she slowly slid to her right.I sighedand looked at Max,who’s eyes were on me-a painful expression on his face.It took me a moment to realize what it was.It was remorse.
“Kristen,” He started,his voice cracking and raising an octave.My heart immediately went out to the hedgehog haired boy.I can imagine how bad he felt.Amanda had told me that all 5 boys were very close.And from past experiences with the band,she was right.
Thoughts of Amanda sent a course of sadness through me.A mental slideshow of our entire friendship sent me on the verge of tears.All the laughter and smiles. The advice we gave each other.We told each other everything.But that was in the past.No matter how much of a bitch Amanda was,she was my best friend.We told each other everything.From our first crushes to the first time we even got our periods.We were there during the beginning of puberty to,well,now.It didn’t matter if she slept with my brother.What hurt me was that she didn’t tell me.Albeit,I would have been freaked and upset.But not as upset as if she sent me a picture of the two in bed and acted so fucking vindictive when it came to my friendship with the band,or rather,their lead guitarist,if you wanted to even call it a friendship.
I was set out of my thoughts when I felt an arm on my shoulder,and when I looked up,I saw Elissa’s warm chocolate brown eyes looking down at me,not sympathy,but understanding.I finally realized where I remembered her from.Josh.No wonder.
I smiled weakly at her and,once again,looked up to see Max staring at me.
“What is it,Max?” I whispered.It felt like talking here loudly didn’t fit in with the atmosphere.It didn’t feel right. He just sighed and put a hand through his hair,making it stick up oddly. He then looked at me with a look of pure concentration on his face,and after an excruciating minute,he finally opened his mouth to speak. “Kristen,you have no idea how sorry I am for,er,kissing you the other night.I didn’t know what got into me.I know that you have feelings for Chris and-”
“Wait,what?” A voice said.But,this wasn’t Elissa.Elissa was right next to me.No,this was a man’s voice.A quiet voice.Almost simultaneously all three of our heads snapped up to the door,only to see Chris standing there with an emotionless expression on his face.But before any of us could say anything he had gone.
A groan escaped my lips and I let my head fall on the table.Elissa’s soothing murmurs and Max’s hand on my arm helped sooth the migraine that I now had.After a few minutes,the migraine had turned into a slight headache and I sighed and slowly got up.
“Thank you guys,for everything.Max..I-I forgive you.”
He sighed in relief and smiled up at me gratefully.Elissa nodded in acknowledgment and got up swiftly. “Would you like some coffee?” she asked. I nodded and sat back down.She smiled lightly and went to the back of the cafe.That left me with Max.We sat in semi-comfortable silence until I asked him a question that had been on my mind since after the concert. “Max..when are you guys leaving?” I tried to sound nonchalant,and by the look on Max’s face,failed. “We live New York in two days and then go to Florida.” I nodded in acknowledgment. He looked as if he was going to say something else,but Elissa then came out with a steaming mug of coffee in hand.I smiled gratefully at her and blew on it lightly before sipping.Like usual,it tasted amazing.How Elissa didn’t own a bigger franchise than Starbucks,I had no idea.
All three of us continued to sit in comfortable silence for a while until I checked my phone to see the time.
5:53am.
I sighed and got up,stretching and hearing my back crack lightly. I waved goodbye to both Max and Elissa before heading out into the chilly March air.
