Chapter Five-Unexpected

One Week Later-

Eloyn turned the corner of the produce section and I trudged after her. I didn't like the grocery store; it was too closed in for my liking.

"Mandarin oranges or peaches, Max," asked Eloyn.

I sighed, "Oranges."

She threw the little cups in the basket and I pushed it forward, following her slow pace. She stopped in the soda section and bent down to pick up a twenty four pack of something.

I closed my eyes and rolled my neck, stopping in tight spots. The patter of feet made me open my eyes and tense my muscles. I looked at the end of the aisle and almost collapsed. There, twenty feet away from me, was a little blonde headed girl, smiling at someone on the next aisle.

Angel!

I raced forward to meet her and she took off running again, running from whoever she had been looking at.

"Angel," I cried, but she didn't look back. I ran after her, zig-zagging through the aisles of clothes, food and people. My arm hit a showcase of cereal boxes and they all came tumbling down. I kept running, ignoring the shouts of employees behind me. Angel, Angel, Angel, Angel, I chanted in my head, running after the blond bobbing head. She turned a corner and I surged forward, turning the corner and screeching to a halt. A line of people stood in front of me, the little girl lost in the mass. My eyes flicked back and forth, looking for her.

A hand touched my shoulder and turned me around, "Mam, you're going to have to come with me and clean up the mess you caused."

I shook his hand off my shoulder and turned again, seeing her 50 feet away. I walked toward her and then stopped, seeing her hold the hand of a tall blonde woman. The woman was scolding her and the little girl was crying, her head turned towards me, not Angel.

My heart shattered into a million pieces and I tried to hold in the tears, stupid, stupid, stupid. I made a fool of myself!

The hand touched my shoulder again, "Mam, Do NOT make me throw you out of the store."

I swiped his hand away and heard someone in the line, "Crazy."

I turned to retort, my hand coming up to slap them and froze. They froze too. I blinked, several times and let the tears fall, I wanted them back so bad I was seeing them.

The blind one put his hand on the caramel one's shoulder, "Nudge, what is it?"

Nudge's mouth gaped open like a fishes, opening and shutting. She shuddered, "Ma… Ma… Max?"

Iggy's head shot up, "Max?"

I stumbled forward and touched his chest, "Iggy…"

I slumped up against him, and his arms wrapped around me, holding me up.

Nudge touched my face and my hair, "Max, Max," she cooed.

I'm sorry this chapter is so short but I wanted to introduce the flock back in and leave a cliff hanger, but I'm already on chapter eight, so five reviews and I'll post again :) And the next one is REALLY LONG so review review review! :))))
