Alone.

Chapter 10: Reconciliation

The birds chirped and the sunlight passed through the closed curtains of Annie's room, which she was still sleeping. Finally, her alarm clock was disturbed when blows were heard on her locked door, waking her up. She could not sleep peacefully? She was still on vacation!


- Annie! You have to go shopping! growled his father.
-I'm ..." she mumbled, straightening herself before rubbing her eyes to wake up.


It was nine o'clock and his father was already pissing him off in the morning. She lifted her blankets and made her way to the bathroom to take a shower. She peeked in the mirror, her hair was in a mess not possible. The water ran down her pale skin, bruised by several bruises and wounds now closed, but with healing still intact. Annie ran her hands through her fair hair and over her face, her eyes bent over her forearms, which were scarred. After taking a shower quite quickly, she dressed, putting on a shirt and jeans with holes in her knees. She took care to bandage her forearms and brushed her hair before making a bun. She went out and took the running list that her father held out, he stank with his mouth it was disgusting!, He had still drunk? Surely ... Annie hated shopping, you had to search all the rays until you find what you're looking for. There were a lot of people who rallied or jostled.
Arrived at the supermarket, Annie will go through the list that his father had made: pasta, cakes, yogurt ... Could not he go himself? He had nothing to do today. Annie will scan the shelves avoiding customers and took what she had to buy. Her cell vibrated in her pocket, without knowing why, seeing the name, she smiled.

- "I'm disturbing you?" Armin asked.
- "Uh ... no why?" Annie replied, looking for a packet of pasta not too expensive.
- "Would you like a cinema?"
- "To see which movie?"
- "I do not know you can choose, go say yes" smiles Armin
- "If I say no?" Annie added, finally taking the bag she was looking for
- "I'm throwing myself under a train."
- "Oh yes, well I'll say yes to avoid being accused of your suicide."
- "I'm picking you up ? "
- "No, we finally meet ... in the cinema directly?" Said Annie, gritting her teeth.
- "Ok ... 15 o'clock?"
- "I'll be there"

Armin smiled foolishly before getting ready, finally he could see her without being surrounded by his friends.
Annie went home, with two big bags in hand, they weighed heavily ... Especially when we had to take the bus and we had to walk very long minutes before climbing several floors to return home, no elevator. Annie finally arrived at the door and opened it finding her father lying on the couch, sleeping, he was serious? She sighed and walked back to the kitchen, putting the bags down very softly on the table without making any noise. Annie put everything in her usual place and prepared to eat, her father woke up with the smell and sat at the table without a word. Like always.
It was 2:45 pm, and Armin was anxiously waiting for her friend in front of the cinema, there were already people at that time. He had just received a message from Annie, saying that she would arrive in a few minutes. He decided to wait in the entrance of the cinema, where the customers came to buy their ticket. He walked to the movies on offer: comedies, fantasy adventures ... There was a bit of everything, but Armin already had a movie idea in mind.

- So you found? asked Annie who had just arrived at his side while browsing, the films on offer.
- You're there smiled the blonde turning to her before giving him a kiss. So, I propose this one to you.
- Huh? Annie was more focused on the blonde's lips that had stuck to her cheeks. Yes, he goes well.
- Fantastic Animals, do you know Harry Potter?
- Yes.
- Well, it's the same designer, the session starts in 10 minutes, come smile Armin.

Arrived in the room, there was very little room, Armin found two on the side, well they were not very well placed, but as long as they could see the film, it did not bother them. The room fills up more and more then the film began, it lasted two hours, two hours immersed in a fantastic world, surrounded by magic animals and witchcraft, making forget the outside world, the real world ...

The session ended and when the two blondes came out, it was raining ropes and neither had thought of taking an umbrella. They ran to the bus stop, where obviously there was no roof. Annie ran her hand through her wet hair and waited impatiently for the bus to arrive, hoping he would hurry. The drops of water fell on the teenager's face, but they stopped suddenly, she raised her head to see Armin who had just removed his jacket to use as shelter while the bus arrives. Annie thanked him shyly while the blonde was smiling at him. The bus finally arrived, but that does not delight the two blondes by seeing the world inside, it looked like the Paris metro, anyway, they were forced to show in, because it was the last bus .. Armin went up and tried to sneak around like Annie, among the world. She hated being stuck like that, against strangers, horror, it was hot and more. Armin was not very quiet, he was stuck and could not move. Annie was facing him, a few inches, looking elsewhere. In the evening, there were not very neat people who took the bus, and it did not go unnoticed by Armin, who saw a man look at Annie, and tried to get closer to her. The blonde felt a familiar arm pass around his pelvis, before sticking it against Armin, head on his shoulder, she blushed strongly. The blond stared maliciously the man who stopped before looking elsewhere, this world was full of idiots. Annie was completely disturbed by the fact that she was stuck against her friend, while the latter was more on the lookout. Armin could be very jealous, and he showed it. He glanced at the blonde, who was looking elsewhere, her eyes bent down to the blonde's shoulder and found a pretty imposing blue, he frowned.
After several long minutes unbearable to be stuck to strangers, the two friends got off the bus, it was still raining, but less than before.

- Do you want me to walk you? Armin asked, running his hand through his wet hair.
- That's nice, but it will go said the blonde. My house is under construction, impossible to pass ...
- I knew that smiles Armin. Can I go halfway with you?
- If you want to add Annie hiding his "joy".

They discussed the film and their favorite passage, Annie had loved a lot, it traced the adventure of a wizard trying to protect his magical creatures. Armin listened to the blonde when he felt someone follow them, for several minutes ...
