Chapter 17 by Cevrik777 Cevrik777

Hide? Run!? What happens?

They notice you alright.

You continue to press your body back against the pump hoping, praying you aren’t found… but the footsteps become frighteningly loud and you’re startled as you hear a “Whoa!” right next to you!

You jump back in surprise and trip onto your behind as Jon and Max had decided to walk right past you on their way inside. Jon jumps back as well, falling over, and almost sending Max to the ground as well.

“Hey, hey, take it easy - it’s just a girl.” Max says, pulling Jon back up onto his feet.

Jon rights himself and jerks his arm away from Max, his pride apparently wounded.

“Yeah, I can see that.” He gives Max an irritated look and then turns to you, his features softening.

Max shakes his head, ignoring Jon, and takes a step towards you.

“Hey, we’re sorry, we didn’t see you there - Please, ignore him.” Max extends an arm to help you up.

"Here..."

Your mouth hangs open, the words catching in your throat as shock now mixes with fear… but it starts to wane as you’re reminded: Max doesn't know who you are. Well, of course he doesn’t - None of them do! You’re not you at the moment but you were just so caught up in the moment you didn't even-

“Christ, you scared her half to ****.” Max loudly whispers as he turns his head back to Jon.

“She scared me half to ****!” Jon replies, still dusting himself off.

As the two bicker, you realize they could actually be the perfect ride! These guys would trip over themselves - again - to help a poor, stranded woman like you. You remind yourself that you have every opportunity to craft a new identity here and one that they would never see again. You could have them spun around your finger in an instant; Max's, Jon's, and especially Steve's appetite for girls is no secret to anybody at school.

With this in mind, you…

What’s your approach? Do you change your mind?
