Stranger souls - Caulscott

Chapter 3 The floating Whale

Nathan

Okay... I never expected that damn Caulfield ask me such a question... I can't hold that laugh anymore, but when she said that she meant that seriously, I just froze... No one except Vic asked me that. I don't know what happened but I feel different and confused. I was about to answer her but she suddenly spoke...

Max: "I know how it is to be alone... or how hard is to have parents who give a shit about their child... Ever since I moved from Seattle, my parents wrote me once from that day."

When she said that I couldn't answer her. It was like listening to myself. I've never thought that Caulfield is the one who fully understands me... I don't know why but I just start to feel bad for her... She doesn't look like an enemy for me anymore. Also, when I looked at her, I gave attention to her eyes... I don't fucking care if it looked weird that I was starring at her... I just... I can't tear off my eyes from her...and I think that I start to feel butterflies in my stomach. Her eyes seem to me like self-reflection... and that makes me even sadder. I almost start to cry at that moment.

Suddenly her voice woke me from my thought.

Max: "Sorry to disturb you."And she started to go away.

I can't help it because I already feel tears running over my right cheek. I start stepping forward and make her stop by grabbing her right hand. She turned and before she gets any chance to react I hugged her. I felt how her body was frozen from that I hugged her... But luckily, after a while, she reacted and hugged me back.

I was the one who stars to get back first. I didn't expect that she looked at me and give me a little smile. I was about too but something startled me.

Nathan: "Um... your nose... is bleeding... are you okay?"

Max: "Uh... it's nothing. That usually happens to me." She said and chucked a little, but I didn't give it attention.

Nathan: "Max... we need to get out of here now!" I quickly grab her hand... I have to say that I was surprised that she came with me. For some reason, I was glad and showed a little smile.

Max

Ok...Maybe I'm crazy but I'll go with him because I wanna know more... if Chloe figures out that I went with Prescott somewhere alone voluntarily... She would kill me... Maybe it's a bad idea but you have rewind powers remember Max? And you could see it in the parking lot... If he wants to kill you...wouldn't you be dead right now?

I was talking to myself and then I realize he leads me to the main door of the school. Duh... It's obvious that everyone was at the gym... plus it was night so...

Then he pulled out a key and opened the main door. We went inside and he dragged me through the hall.

Max: "Nathan can you just..."

Nathan: "If you want to stay alive then shut your mouth. " When he said that he put his finger over my mouth and continued to the end of the hall. Then he pushed me into Jefferson's class and close the door.

Nathan: "I think we're saved here."

Max: "Nathan... What's going on? Why did you bring me here?"

Nathan: "Please... I don't want anyone to get hurt anymore." He said with fear.

Max: "What do you mean?"

Nathan: "I just don't want anyone to hurt you or anybody else. I..uh...You just don't get it Max!"

Then I lost my patience

Max: "In one thing you're right... I don't get that why you acting like that! Who wants to hurt anybody else?! And whos trying to hurt me as you said?!" I scream at him.
