Twenty Questions

Chapter 8


 part two
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.
