The Only Exception.

The Unexpected...

I ran out of that faster than ever. I didn't want to show anyone how harsh it hit me. She didn't even tell me nicely. For God's sake she threw the stupid files at me and walked away. Not even giving me a sign saying that she felt bad. I got into my car, shoved my key into the key hole, and flew down the rode. I needed to get out of that scene as fast as possible. Tears filled my eyes, making my vision blurry. I wipe my eyes and choked back on my tears. I wanted to scream. I felt like flipping out. How thoughtless, and cruel can that woman be. Me thinking my whole life I was her actual daughter but no, she threw me out like trash. Sometimes I wish I could run away from problems like this. Why do people like her exist in the world. I never did a thing to her. Yet she, spits me out like trash. I needed someone to talk to. I needed someone that can distract me from this mess. That's when I pulled over and called Axel. We were pretty much close maybe I knew he can help me out. We met up at park when it got a little dark. I told him everything that happened. It's like he knew what I was going through. It's like he knew how to cope with situations like this. He was pretty much there for me when I was feeling down. I have to say he made a huge in life. I finally get to follow my dreams because of him. A few weeks later I finally get to perform at my first concert. I was back stage picking out my stage outfit. "Hey, Kathrine!" I turn around to see Axel walking up to me. "Hey what's up!" I said with a smile. "Nothing much just getting ready for the show. Are ready for this?" he asked me. "Yeah, I'm just a bit nervous. I usually perform at bars, instead of arenas." I explained to him. "Yeah I can see how nerve racking that can be. But if it makes you feel better, at my first performance I got so scared that puked on stage." he said. "Oh, crap how does that feel Axel?" I asked him. "Pff, let's just say I became a meme for a while." he said laughing. "Huh then that must be pretty funny meme then." "Yeah anyways, we got less then twenty mins. Just giving you a fair warning."he told me. "Got it, thanks for the warning I'm gonna get ready." he smiled and walked away. I was looking my clothing rack and came upon this cute outfit. It was blue sparkly blazer with navy blue corset and leather shorts, and black fishnet tights to wear unger the shorts. I also found black knee high high heeled boots. I took my whole outfit into my dressing room and got ready. Once I was ready it was time to perform. "Hey, Kathrine are you ready?" Axel asked me. "Yeah I'm ready!" I told him. "Good, and hey just remember that you got this." he told me sincerely. "Thank you, for everything Axel I don't know what I would do without you." I said to him. He smiled at me and said "I'm glad I made your dreams come true." I couldn't help but blush at what he said. I was finally time to enter the arena we both stepped out into the spotlight. I the crowd cheered and screamed. "How's it going everyone!" the crowd cheered louder. I was stunned by how many people were in the arena. Everyone seemed so happy to be there. I could here my heart pound from my chest. I was honestly speechless. "As you can see we have a new face on stage. Everyone give it up for my friend Katherine!" The crowd cheers and screams happiness and excitement. I hear it from all over the arena. This took my breath away in excitement, it made my heart race ten times faster than usual. The spot light suddenly shines down on me. I take a few steps towards the the edge of the stage. Feeling stunned, it felt like the world stopped spinning. And time went by slower. It was like life wanted me to cherish this moment. I had butterflys in my stomach. It felt like I couldn't speak, but I once I brought the microphone to my lips I suddenly could. "Uhm, hey everyone!" I nervously said to the crowd. They cheered again. Maybe louder than the first time. Gosh this feeling was amazing it was a dream come true. "So who's ready for tonight." Said to the crowd. They all cheer again screaming the band's name. I looked at Axel from right besides me. He looked at me and gave me a huge smile. He gave me that look that you'd give to someone when your proud of someone making their talent go this far. I laughed a little bit and at him. Suddenly everything seemed a bit weird. This quiet voice was telling me to wake up. Then it gradually got louder and louder. Everything started to get blurry. "Wake up, Katherine, wake up we gotta get ready!" Everything faded out and I realised I was in a bed... That wasn't mine. What the heck? I said to myself. My vision became more clearer. And there he was. Right next to besides the bed I was in. "Axel?" I said out loud. "Yes Katherine it's me, you have to get up." He said to me softly. "Axel, where...where am I?" I asked to him in raspy morning voice. "Hey, Katherine you're awake." He said with a warming voice. "Katherine do you remember what happened last night? You seem super confused." He said. "How did I get here?" I asked him. "Don't you remember anything. You came to me crying yesterday saying something about your mom destroyed you. You were so upset. All you want is to be with me." He told me. "You were sobbing for most of the time. And pretty much explained everything to me. Katherine I'm sorry you had to go through that." He said to me sincerely. He went to go finish what had happened but I cut him off. "It's ok I think I know everything now. I'm going to get ready for the day." He got up from his knees while I got out bed. "Oh shoot I forgot, I don't bring anything with me." I said facepalming myself. "Oh, I mean I have an extra toothbrush and a few accentionals that I have. But I dont know about clothes. Unless of you want to borrow some of mine..." there was a quick moment of awkward silence from between us. Honestly I was too shy to respond so I just nodded and walked away. But before I walked out of the room I stopped and turned towards him. "By the was way where is the bathroom?" I asked him awkwardly. "The bathroom...oh the bathroom..." he awkwardly said. "Uh, let me show you. " he walked me to the nearest bathroom in his gigantic house. "Well here it is. And if you need anything I will be in my room." He informed me. "Ok thank you so much!" He also showed me where the extra toiletries were, after that he walked out. I freshened myself up and put in my old clothes from yesterday. I was walking downstairs texting Callie, until I noticed the smell of bacon and eggs. I put my phone in my pocket and finished my walk downstairs. "Uh, hey where are band rehearsals going to take place at?" I asked Axel. "We decided to cancel and rescheduled it tomarrow. So no need to worry about that." He explained to me. "Uhm why did you cancel rehearsals?" I asked out of curiosity. "Well Rosie had to cancel because she had an event to go to. And today there is going to be a really bad storm today so bad there might be a high risk of a tornado." He explained. "Tornado? But we barely get any here. I highly doubt that." I said to him. "I know I thought the same too, but who knows there could be one." He hands me a plate of food. That consists of eggs, bacon, and s ok me fruit. "Oh didnt have to Axel I would of been fine." I kindly sajd to him. "No it's ok, I wasn't going to let you go you leave without breakfast. Now eat I have take you before you home before the storm happens." He said to me. I took a seat at the kitchen table and and munch on the delicious food. Everything tasted so good. The bacon was perfectly cook crispy, the eggs made my mouth water. It had a hint of garlic and cheese. The side of fruit was fresh and and sweet. It the perfect amount of juice in it. Everything about this meal was absoulutly perfect. I even had to pause to just let the taste to sink in it was so good. "Is there something wrong with the food Katherine?" He asked me in a concerned voice. "No everything is fine, it's just that the food is just sooo good. It's insane." I said while I was shoveing more food ok n my mouth. "Yeah it sure does looks like you even have a little ketchup by your lip." I panic a little and took a napkin and tried to wipe it away. "Wow I'll m sorry that's like really embarrassing. Did I get it off?" I asked him anxiously. "No not even close here I got it." He reaches over and wipes the kechup from my face with his thumb. Then he woped the excess of with a napkin. "There now it's off." He said with a chuckle. "Uhm, thanks for that...I guess." I said shyly. A awkward silence happened between us. I looked at him while he looked at me. The way he looked at me though, made me think that he was checking me out. I mean the way his eyes looked when staring at me. His pupils were large and he seemed so fixated on me. The look in his looked like he craved to make a move on me. No matter how weird it seemed I couldn't help but do the same. I mean who wouldn't want to. He's has the looks of movie star. Like the god of good looking people. His messy dark brown hair was pushed over the side makeing it look effortlessly neat. His eyes glistened in the dim stormy lightnpeaking through the window. His eyes had an exsploison of green and blue. He was fit and muscular. But not too muscular. His lips were thin but yet plump. They had a perfect peachy pink color and looked so kissable. His face was perfectly sculpted his jaw was sharp. And he seem to have perfect skin just a little of scarring. We suddenly met eyes with eachother. I've never felt so mesmerised by then. I felt I couldn't just leave them. We locked eyes for a few more seconds until a huge thunder clap made us both jumped. We both looked outside to see that the sky was dark and it was raining. We look back eachother. He gave me a playful and chuckled. I could help but do the same...
