*there's a sadmad Justin in a lake*

It's five o'clock in the morning and I am trying to get out without waking my grandparents. I tip toed successfully downstairs without making so much noise. I took a sticky note and wrote

Out jogging. Will be back soon
Love you
Ivy

I left without making so much noise and started jogging to the park. I love jogging in the morning cause it helps me to relax. Everything is so quiet, less people, less cars, fresh unpolluted air, raising sun, perfect world. Definitely because people still didn't wake up to destroy the beauty of nature.

The only thing I fear is less police and more criminals, since I study journalism, I have to keep up with news and crimes which mostly happen at night or in early morning.
God! Grandma is right, the world is awful.

I reached the park in less than ten minutes and decided to take a seat on a bench near the lake, an elder couple were sitting on the opposite side of the lake, the old woman's head was on the old man's shoulder, her eyes closed and was holding his hands like she knew he would never leave her, just a look at them made me realise how these people knew the true meaning of love, didn't need two relationship to learn what love is, and I am one hundred percent sure every single elder woman lived a love story. Men were gentle, players rarely exist even if he did, women knew better than to talk to him. I just know people like this rarely exist now.

A woman was walking holding a little girl's hand, I actually wonder why is she strolling in this hour. Surely if she wanted to take her daughter for a stroll it would be at least three hours later, when there is other kids to play with.

The woman was just going to sit beside me when a boy came to talk to her

"Excuse me ma'am, I wanna ask some questions" the boy was really something, his blonde hair was short but curly, hazel eyes sparkling, he is not so tall nor look like he work out every day like most boys from my high school, but yet his body is well designed, with his white tshirt and his black pants suited him perfectly. He looked like he is 18-20 yeared old guy

"Mummm go ahead" she looked at him like he was mad or something

"What is your job?" He grinned a little

"I'm a nurse" she answered after a few minutes

"Did you ever do something bad ?" He looked now dead serious and scary, that me, the granddaughter of an army officer, was kinda scared

"What do you mean?" She took a step back, holding her daughter's hand tightly.

"Ever did something you know is forbidden?" He smirks as he look at the young girl

"Get to the point! What do you want?" She moved her daughter behind her as she shouted, I was started to get worried, even the old couple on the opposite side was cautious now

"Did you kidnapp a girl? Is this your daughter?" He said smirking

"Yes! Of course she is!"

"Then why are walking alone in the early morning with her?"

With that, the little girl ran towards him and shouted

"yes she is not, plwease save me" crying and hugging him

Omg he was right, the woman kidnapped the little girl!!

In no time the old couple called the police, and the woman looked like a five yeared old girl caught stealing a cookie which was really but not a cookie of course

Just kidding

The little girl actually hit him in his knees and shouted " weave mom alowne" and ran back behind her mother

"Don't worry little girl I'll save you" he said still not believing anything

The woman surely reached her dead line because she hit him on the head with her leather bag, which made him stumbled and fell in the lake, the old couple laughed out loud and I was trying my best to control my laugh

"Well, my shift starts in two hours and end after twelve hours, so I don't have time to spend it with my girl except this hour which you wasted" she turned and left with her daughter, leaving the old couple and me laughing.

The boy turned red and looked so embarrassed, so I stopped laughing or at least tried to muffle my laugh and reached towards him and put my hand forward

"Let me help you" I said between my laughs

"Yeah yeah so funny" he said frowing

"Actually it was" I said smiling

"Actually yeah" he said as he started laughing

"And weird" I said as he accepted my hand and came out of the lake, so wet his clothes sticking to him like a second skin.

"Thanks, that was so embarrassing" he said still blushing

"I actually think that it was stupid to not believe her or at least her daughter"

"If you actually knew...." he said turning sad

"Knew what?" I said grinning prepared for something stupid and weird to laugh at

"look I work at America today  the newspaper and I am a journalist-"

"Whao hold on! You're a journalist? And in America today?!"

"Yeah as I was saying, if you actually know how many children are kidnapped in this hour-"

" I know! I am studying journalism actually! "

"What? And why weren't you helping me" he exclaimed loudly

"Because I am right in the mind and not a psycho"

"You know I was wrong, I have to leave" he said looking down and sad while turning to leave

God I feel awful! 

At least you can make his day brighter,  you know he started his day with sadness and madness

"Hey! Wait " I ran after him "you didn't tell me your name"

"Yeah so you can tell your friends about this funny moments" he stopped still looking down with sadness.

"Actually no, I was asking bec-"

"I am working in the America today and that's something great"

"Actually still no-"

"Look" he finally looked up with sadness clear on his face " I appreciate you trying to make me feel better but-"

"Can you shut up" I shouted angrily, when I finally have the opportunity to talk his phone rang, I screamed angrily,

That's what you get for helping people

"Sorry" he said as he declined the call

"I was saying I wanted to know your name because it is actually something amazing to meet someone weird and different, crazy but good" I said smiling which made him smile

"Ohhh, of course I am different and amazing"

"What's your name?"

"Justin, Justin Simpson" he smiled at me "glad I met you Miss Actually but I have to go"

"Miss Actually?" I asked shocked

"Yeah, because you say actually a lot, till next time" he said as he waved and walked towards his blue car and rode off leaving me completely shocked

"Actually I don't say actually that much" I mummered as I turned to leave too.
