Stood Up [ G/T ]

Stood Up

Axl had eyes of Selina ever since she walked into his line of sight. He found himself always flustered around her and a complete stuttering mess. Although he seemed outgoing to others, when he was around Selina, it was like he was a totally different person. Selina found it cute thought. She found Axl cute. It wasn't long before Axl was talked into taking her on a date. No doubt, she agreed to go on the date with the cute black haired teenager.

She had work the day he planned, but promised she would meet him at the restaurant that was on his main street. She requested to leave work early so she had time to go home and freshen up for the date. Luckily, her workers were able to give her that opportunity and she was off thirty minutes early. She did her hair, makeup and made sure she smelled delightful to attract Axl even more.

She was more than excited as she entered the restaurant. It wasn't a fancy restaurant, it was a local place that many people arrived to chat with each other. She walked in and sat in the red booth. She clasped her hands together and looked out the door, waiting patiently to see Axl's car. She turned her head to the side as she felt a tap on her shoulder, her face instantly scrunching into disgust as she saw who it was.

"What do you want Zaid?" she sneered rudely, staring coldly at her ex-boyfriend. "Since when did you start working here?"

"You're here to meet that Axl kid, aren't you?" he asked, placing down a glass of orange juice onto the table. She claimed she didn't order one, but he insisted she'd take it. "It's on the house, don't worry about it."

Selina rolled her eyes as he walked away to assist other tables. She stared at the orange juice, not knowing whether she really did want to drink it or not. She had to admit, she was thirsty. She couldn't pass the opportunity and took a large gulp out of the orange juice, instantly feeling gross inside afterwards.

Axl had practically sped to the restaurant. He had lost track of time when he was getting ready. Being late to a date was one of the things he knew Selina didn't like, but he couldn't help it. As soon as he pulled into his parking space, he climbed out of the car and raced into the restaurant. He looked around the place, not recognizing any of the girls within the room. Axl blew out a breath of air, that probably meant that Selina hadn't showed up yet.

A large hand slapped onto his shoulder, startling him. He shot his eyes to the side to Selina's ex-boyfriend, Zaid, smiling widely at him. Axl uncomfortably smiled back, Zaid had never approached him like that before.

"Selina told me you'd be here," zaid said, pointing over to the booth a little ways away. "she's in the restroom right now, but she was sitting over at that booth over there. She said she'll be right out."

Zaid forcefully gave him a little shove toward the booth. Axl gave a little thank you to the brute and continued to walk to the booth. Axl brushed himself off and looked at the table, unable to hear the cries of the tiny Selina. Her drink that Zaid had given her had shrunk her, and it was all Zaid's idea to make sure she regretted ever dumping him. Axl's baby blue eyes looked at the booth, seeing Selina's stuff on the other side of the booth. Axl sighed to himself and lowered himself down onto the seat and scooted in the booth.

He clasped his hands and placed them on the table, creating a massive earthquake feeling for Selina on the table. She was as tiny as a grain of salt. Her screams and shouts couldn't even be heard by the gigantic Axl. Axl blew out a breath of air and kept checking behind him to see if Selina was ever coming out of the restroom. He pulled out his phone and decided to call her, but a buzzing came from the purse that was placed on the other side of the booth. Axl wasn't able to notice that her phone was in her purse, but Selina sure did.

Selina slapped her forehead as she realized she didn't even put her phone in her pocket. She had accidentally left it in her purse, which meant that she had no idea how to grab Axl's attention. Axl put his phone face down on the table, inches away from crushing Selina. She was fortunately quick enough to jump out of the way before the large phone came crashing down onto her. Selina's throat had run dry from her attempts to get Axl's attention, she knew he wasn't going to be able to hear her.

Axl drummed his fingers against the table, knocking her down onto the wooden table. She shook along with the thundering drums. Axl sighed to himself and looked one last time behind him. He checked the time on his phone and saw that ten minutes had already passed.

"When will she be here?" axl asked himself, exhaling deeply. He chewed on the bottom of his lip as he picked up his phone and went to look at his texts. Selina tried to find her last of her voice and see if she could finally grab his attention. "Selina...Where...Are...You?"

Axl put his phone back down, almost smashing Selina once again. This time around, Selina had jumped out of the way, but accidentally off of the table. She screamed loudly as she went plummeting downward. She knew this was it. She was going to die. She squeezed her eyes shut, but instead of feeling a hard ground, she fell onto something soft. She bounced a few times, before noticing she had landed on the red leather booth seat.

She jumped up and patted around herself, gasping that she was still alive. She turned around and looked up in terror as she saw Axl's gigantic figure sitting right above her. He was leaning on his hand on the table. Although she was still alive, she had no clue how to grab Axl's attention. She was even further away from his hearing than she was before. She began racing toward Axl, only to be knocked down on to the seat as she felt Axl shift on the seat.

"You know, if Selina isn't going to show up, I might as well use the restroom before she gets here," axl said, his voice echoing through his ears. Her eyes widened. "I really need to go."

Selina cried out to Axl as she saw him beginning to scoot his way toward her. The reality of being crushed unknowingly by Axl had dawned on her. He couldn't hear her the closer his gigantic body go to her. In a blink of an eye, Axl had scooted one more and sat down straight onto his tiny date, crushing her beneath him. The weight of him was far too much for her to bare. She was slowly crushed underneath Axl as he got off and out of the booth. He got up and headed toward the restroom with his date stuck to the bottom of his jeans.

Later on, Axl figured out that he had gotten stood up. He had never been stood up before, but he soon figured out it hurt. But at least he wasn't the only one who felt immense pain that night.
