Different But Broken

Chapter 2 • Apples and Potatoes

I got up to the main table and saw a really good friend of mine, Robert Harrison. He had chestnut brown hair, green eyes and he was a bit older than me. Two years to be exact.

His aunt was the owner of the café and the café has been running for about 12 years now. Somehow, I'm still surprised that the café hasn't fallen apart, I mean with Robert here and all. Just kidding...not.

"Hi Robbie." I smiled.

"Hello Maynard." He smirked.

"How's the album going?" I asked

"It's going good, but I can and will only learn how to play Hopeless Romantic, Kindly Calm Me Down and Just a friend to you." He said while pouting.

Ever since the Meghan Trainor album came out, I've been bugging Robert to learn how to play some of the songs that are there on his guitar.

"OK," I sigh "but how's Angel and Nellie." I changed the subject.

Robert had a girlfriend and with that girlfriend (Penelope/Nellie), things happened and then in the end: a tiny baby girl named Angel was produced. He and Nellie aren't married yet, but the both plan to in the near future.

I love how Robert took responsibility for his daughter and never abandoned her. Unlike some father's of today.

Roberts face instantly lit up when I mentioned both of their names.

"Nell's still trying to loose some of the baby fat and Angel has been...well an angel, except when she wakes up early in the morning. Oh, before I forget, can I come over this weekend to work on Blue?" He asked referring to the song by Beyoncé.

"Sorry, you can't. I have to do a project with these other two boys, well twins to be exact." I remembered.

"What?!" He exclaimed.

"What do you mean?" I asked mimicking Justin Bieber.

"No, no, no, none shall happen while I'm still alive. I'm coming over to supervise everything." He demanded

"Robert, you know sometimes I think you keep mistaking me for Angel. Even though I really want you to be there, you can't. You have to get Angel Baptised remember." I reminded him.

"Crap! I can't believe I forgot that. But anyway tell me, text me or inform me if they hurt you in any way. Because if they even think of laying a hand on you. I swear, I will hunt them down, throw both of them in a sack, dump them by the dam and their screams will be music to my ears." He threatened.

"You're not fooling me you apple. You and I both know that you won't do such. Just because you have a well built body, doesn't mean that you can go around making threats like that." I reprimanded.

"Really? An apple? That's the best you can say, your weird name calling will be the death of me one day." He laughed. I stuck my tongue out at him.

"And you also think I have an awesome body?" He smirked

"Shut up before I change my mind and call you something else." I said

Potato.

"But seriously, if they do anything to hurt you in anyway, there will be hell to pay." He said
