Once he
started telling me the rest of the story, it was a never-ending
flow of words.
I listened excitedly while he
told me.
He was talking so fast that it
was hard to follow, but I didn’t interrupt him once because
I could tell he wanted to tell me as much as possible before we
got to, where was it? The coffee shop…I think?
He told me what he said was the
shorter version of how he met Rikki, and then a jumble of other
stuff that didn’t make sense at first, but one thing
connected to another and so on.
Some parts shocked me, other
parts I already knew because they happened before all of this,
when I was living with my family.
Carter finally stopped and came
to a halt so I did as well.
I looked around, surprised we
were already there- I think I had been so sucked into the story
that I had forgotten I was even walking.
I would be in trouble if I had to
find my way back on my own.
Carter looked at me and I
smiled.
He smiled too, but something
about his expression made him look uneasy- that made me
uneasy.
Why would he be uneasy if he knew
Andrew?
There were too many
possibilities.
So I just asked him “Is
something wrong?”
Carter’s head snapped up,
“What…? N-no, no. Nope, everything’s
fine…uh, let’s go inside.” He stammered, only
half regaining his composure.
He took my hand.
“Just stay close to me,
alright?” He urged.
I nodded and shoved the thought
of something else being wrong away.
I looked up at the building in
front of us.
It was a quaint little shop that
looked kind of like a townhouse.
There was a lopsided sign hanging
over the door that read, “AJ’s” in big, faded
letters.
It was a picturesque little
scene, and I liked it.
Although there was nothing in
particular that hinted to it, anyone could easily tell that the
café was abandoned, or shut down at the least.
I hadn’t realized how
caught up I had been in my thoughts until I felt Carter gently
tug my arm towards the door.
As we walked inside, my thoughts
returned to what Carter had filled me in on all through our walk
over here.
