Smiling up at Thomas as I move around him collecting the food Dad wanted as well as trying to shrink away from the boy next to me.
"I didn't catch your name," He says walking beside me, making me sigh and look up at him.
He raises his eyebrow waiting for me, "Maria" I drone before turning and walking away but he catches up to me as I have to stop and get a shit ton of pasta
"Having a feast or..." He trails off as he also grabs pasta but I just roll my eyes at his comment, 'more like trying to stock up so I don't need to leave the house'
"Back to not talking, one step back two steps for-" His interrupted by a pretty girl with wavy brown hair and a model looking walk.
"Tommy hurry up" She huffs when she see me and smiles, a boy comes up behind her and slings an arm over her shoulder they both look older than 18
"Oooh I think little tom likes someone" The girl teases as she reaches us and ruffles his hair but at this point I have turned away and started walking to the next isle full of canned food.
However, I am stopped by a male voice who says my name making me turn around with a sigh.
It was the boy next to the model girl, "I know you, Maria right?" He asks, I'm so sure I've never met him before but just to make sure he didn't know anyone that was Marcus related I waited for him to elaborate.
"You use to talk more...I saw you at the hospital" He says as he walks towards me, Thomas and the girl trailing along and grabbing items at the same time.
Shrugging at the boys comment, "You were friends with the girl who was stabbed right?" He questions, narrowing his eyes at me
"Her name's Cara" I say folding my arms getting defensive and for some reason speaking feels okay with Thomas around, "And your the kid who's dating the cancer chick right?" I glare remembering him having to do community service at the hospital.
"Use to she died a month ago" He says softly making me frown
"To bad" I shrug before turning around but a box is thrown at me making me flinch and see the girl holding up a box ready to throw it at my head making me raise my eyebrow at her.
"Brent" Thomas warns as he grabs the hand with the box and I see the boy laughing
"Brent it's fine" the boy says
"I know your fine but I'm not" She huffs as I roll my eyes ready to say something rude when a hand grabs mine from behind making me look up at the person
This is why I hate supermarkets there is always someone I'll end up bumping into and snapping my anger at.
"Sorry about her she gets a bit snappy with people that speak to her" A boy with Chocolate brown eyes that are identical to Marcus's as he is his brother, Stefan Ford.
Tattoos are scattered all over his body, I notice a few new ones from the last time I saw him.
"Let go of me Stefan" I say tugging at my arm that is in his clutch, "And when the hell did you get out of gaol" I add as an after thought
"Hey man mayb-" THomas is cut off by Stefan as he answer my question
"End of last year chickenlegs, let out early" He smirks at me as he turns me to face Thomas but let's go of my arm making me push him.
CHickenlegs was this stupid nickname he gave me as I was always so skinny and delicate as my father lacked the ability to give me a decent meal so that resulted me to be malnutrition
"And you didn't visit me?" I exasperate shoving him but his not looking at me his looking at Thomas behind me as the girl and boy walk passed me but I feel a presence behind me and I believe it's Thomas
"Calm down Chickenlegs didn't know you missed me that much" He smiles down at me his frown leaving his face as he looks at me befoer the person behind me as I turn to face Thomas whos staring at Stefan
"I'll drive you home" Stefan says but we both are staring at Thomas who's eyes narrow at Stefans comment
But I just scoff, "Take me home, Stefan you won't take me home you'll fucking take me to hell and back"
"But afterwards i'll take you home" Stefan reasons making me kick his shin making Thomas smile.
"What's it like being adopted" Stefan says randomly making me look at him raising my eyebrows before turning to Thomas as his about to respond when the girl calls out his name making him shove Stefan a bit and then look at me,
"We can drop you off if you want?" He asks and I'm about to respond when Stefan butts in
"I'll buy your groceries for you" making me close my mouth and shake my head at Thomas as he mumbles, 'one step forward, two steps back'.
Once his disappeared I realise I was just staring at the boy and Stefan is already at the counter getting ready to pay as I sigh wanting to get out of here already sick of shopping.
"You know that boy you were gawking at for 10minutes?" Stefan mumbles as he puts in his pin code, but I don't respond as I know Stefan will elaborate.
"That determination in his eyes?" He question looking at me but my face is blank
"Well his a kid that wants to be a hero" He says, "And you know what heros always forget? They forget that some don't want to be saved" he says as it I'll my eyes, "an ou know who else is a hero?" Stevan asks me as I tense but from his question
"His name starts with M and I believe you popped his cherry" Stevan smirks as I glare at him whilst we walk towards his car
"Why are you here Stefan?" I sigh as we load my shopping in the car before entering it.
Shrugging as he reversed out of the parking spot.
"Just checking in chickenlegs" he says softly
"You should know Marcus is completely fucked and is on his little rampage to be a hero" Stefan says softly as I now know where we are going
Running my tongue over my lip and my arms are folded before I respond, "It's none of my business and I honestly don't want to know"
"You should know whether you want to or not chickenlegs" Stefan shrugs as I huff in annoyance making him chuckle lightly.
"You remind me of this girl I have to watch for the big John. Such strong willed girls you two are" he says with delight like he is really passionate about this girl...the last time he was like this though he got totally fucke over
Narrowing my eyes at him, "am I pickin up on you having a little crush Stefan?" I tease
This time Stefan rolls his eyes and bites on his bottom lip, "whether I do or don't she's a no go Chicken legs. Literally off limits to anyone" Stefan clears his throat, "plus I think she's taken a liking to Marcus"
Clenching my jaw as I try and smile, "Good for her, she might be able to get him on track" I say trying to distract myself by looking at the road.
I hear Stefan chuckle lightly, "Dear you are a horrible liar"
"Just drive me home."
