**********
It was a Monday morning and Megan was eating breakfast with Lola. The two girls were wanting on their friend who seemingly could never arrive to anything on time.
"...do you think she's going to be late again?" Megan asked Lola who was fixing up her makeup.
Lola shrugs her shoulders and she speaks in response to her friend. "I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she was. I don't think she's ever been on time for anything in her life."
Megan laughs loudly. "Natty probably overslept again. I think I'll give her 30 minutes."
Lola chuckles lightly as she starts applying the lipstick on her lips. "Well, whatever you wanna do, I have to head to class in about five minutes. The professor won't be happy if I'm late again."
"Lola since when do you care about being late or not?" She laughs amused.
Lola chuckles and she speaks in a sarcastic tone. "Well, last time, she lectured the entire class for 45 minutes just because we were 5 minutes late. I don't think I wanna see that again, so I'm being responsible this time. Besides, the professor might actually say something positive about my work today."
Megan smiles, "Okay then. Go ahead I'll sit here and wait Okay?"
Lola nods her head and she speaks in a sarcastic tone once more. "Alright, I'll see you later, I guess. Have fun waiting for your late friend."
"She's our friend actually!" Megan teased.
Lola rolls her eyes playfully as she walks away.
Megan starts reading her notes from her last class as she waits. She liked that there weren't many students at the cafeteria and it was nice and quiet.
It wasn't long until she noticed a familiar presence walking into the cafeteria as she hears the footsteps approaching her. She can immediately recognize the familiar sounds of Natalie's feet tapping on the floor as she walks towards her with her unsual fast walk. It looks like she was definitely going to be late again, but she had the feeling that something was different about her today, Natty was beaming with delight.
"Megan! Some hot guy is out by the school gate with a fucking Ferrari asking for you!" Natty shouts excited.
Megan gets up stunned. "What? Who?" Roman didn't drive such a flashy car...was it Apollo? It can't be.
She rushes out of the cafeteria and heads straight to the gate. She could already see students starring at him and his fancy car.
He was leaning against the hood of his Ferrari F430 and his arms were crossed as he looked out towards the road with a neutral look on his face. He seemed to be completely oblivious to the passing crowd as he just stares out towards the road. He doesn't notice her until she is quite close.
"What are you doing here?" Megan glares at him crossing her arms over her chest already annoyed.
He stares at her for a moment and he looks down and he sighs and he speaks with a slightly irritated tone, "I'm here to apologize"
He looks up at her and a slight tinge of a smile appears on his face but he quickly hides it and he continues speaking, "I'm not only here to apologize but I also wanted to explain myself. I know it might not make much sense but I wanted you to hear me out."
"You called me a bitch."
He nods his head and stares at her still and he sighs and rubs his eyes again. He still wasn't looking directly at her. He speaks, "Yes and I'm sorry for it. But I want to explain my reasons as to why I said it. But you don't have to believe me or even forgive me, I just ask that you hear me out"
"What fucking reason is there to call me that when I have done nothing but love your brother!" She said getting mad.
When she spoke so angrily, he flinched even if it was barely visible and that's when he finally looked up at her. There was a faint sign of surprise on his face after hearing her shouting at him. He speaks and his voice is filled with bitterness and guilt as he starts to explain himself. "You probably want to shout at me more, and you're probably thinking, 'what reasons do you have to be angry? My brother loves you and you love him. And there you're right."
Megan was even more confused. "What is it that you're trying to say?"
She sees a car pull up beside Apollo's car and when she sees A guy rolling down the window with a gun in his hands she immediately shoves Apollo out of the way. A loud gunshot goes off causing many students to scatter in panic.
He gets caught off guard and is completely stunned by her sudden reaction as he gets pushed aside and a loud gunshot rings out. He stares with a blank look as his brain tries to process what just happened. Many people start to scream and shout and run in panic as some students drop their books and other things in their haste to get away from the gunshot. People yell out for others to get out of the way and many rush towards the gates. Some students are even knocked to the ground.
His guards that he pointed jump into action but he soon realized Megan wasn't moving although she had managed to save him from getting shot
He looks at her with a mixture of shock and disbelief. He stares at her for a moment and he is about to speak when the guards rush over to him and they try to protect him. He tries to shove them off him and he yells out at Megan. "Are you alright?! Are you hurt?! Say something!"
He immediately rushes to her side and he looks at her and stares at her in horror. He sees that she had been shot and he speaks in a panicked tone* "God. You've been shot!" He quickly gets the guards to help lower her as she lays her on the ground, he calls her name a few times before he leans in to check her pulse on her wrist.
He sighs with relief when he realizes she's alive. That's when he quickly raises his head and he yells out to the guards, "Help me carry her to a vehicle quickly. We need to take her to the hospital!" He then goes back to her and he checks to make sure that the wound is not bleeding too much. He sees that she's in shock and he strokes her hair softly trying to comfort her.
