Broken me!

The Bar eleven

Maria Denver

The next morning, I woke up and rubbed at my eyes. Groaning, I got up from my bed to get ready. Since I was a bit lately, I left the apartment with a piece of bread already. At school I prepared my things for the first reading. ,,Are you coming to the bar in the evening as well?", Jason asked me. ,,Yes come on Maria, come with us", announced Vikky. ,,I don't know, I have to go to my Sister.", I sighed and sat down. ,,You can go to your Sister s after school and in the evening you can come with us to the bar.", said Vikky. ,,Good, I'm willing.", I said. I mean, why not?

When school was finally over, I drove to my sister's house. On the way, I picked up her favorite Schockoladen donuts. ,,Anna.", I shouted and held up the donuts. ,,I love you Maria.", she screamed and grabbed the donuts. ,,Oh sister I missed you.", I said and I hugged her. We talked and joked around and I told her about yesterday. ,,Michael likes you.", she shouted. ,,You're serious, I'm telling you, I think I saw Dad and you only hear Michael out?!", laughing, I poked her in the side.

,,Besides, he wasn't very nice," I continued. ,,Sarah listen, he just can't express himself the way you want him to. He likes you, that's obvious.", she said. He really likes me, I mean, why should he?

,,In the evening I'm going to the bar with Vikky and Jason.", I informed her. ,,Then go, have fun. I'm going to watch another serie.", laughing, she pushed me away. ,,Hey, you just want to get rid off me?", I grumbled.

,,No, Maria, Dr. Stefan is coming soon and I need to be alone.", she looked at me with a smirk. Amused, I waved at her before I left. ,,Oh well, I don't want to be an aunt yet. Although yes I do.", with an air kiss I went back again. I went home first and made myself fresh. Then I set off on the way on foot. If I drink there, it might be difficult to drive. The bar is a bit remote, but inside very cozy. Vikky came up to me and hugged me. ,,Isn't Jason coming?", I asked her. ,,No he dont. For some reason.", she walked into the bar and rolled her eyes. ,, Oh, Maria, it's Linn.", She whispered with excitement. Carelessly, I looked over at Linn, who was just sitting down. ,,Go to her.", I told her. ,,No, I don't know if she likes women too.", she said and pulled me to the bar. ,,Two Jackson mix.", she ordered our drinks. Linn kept looking in our direction. ,,Vikky, I think she likes you very much. Go talk to her. I'll be fine," I lightly nudged her in Linn's direction. ,,Really?", reluctantly she looked at me with a pout. ,,Sure go ahead, grab the little one.", and raised my glass.

I turned back around and sipped my drink, and somehow thinking over Michael. ,,A s*x ON THE BEACH, please.", someone next to me ordered. When I looked at this Person, I automatically rolled my eyes. ,,Do you now turn your eyes every time you see me. That's pretty awful.", Michael sat down next to me and was laughing. ,,Chance would have us spending a lot of time together.", I said and turned my attention to my glass. ,,Do you have a girlfriend?", I asked uncomfortably. He looked at me with surprise. ,,Is someone showing interest right now?", he asked.

No, I'm just curious. I mean, otherwise you would just cheat on your girlfriend," I said. By just talking to you?" he asked me. Caught off balance, I continued to drink. ,,No, I don't have a girlfriend. If I did, I wouldn't be here." He finished his glass and ordered the next one. ,,Do you have a boyfriend?", he asked me. I briefly wondered if I should say yes. ,,Why, are you interested?", I repeated his question. ,,Yes, yes I am.", I looked at him in surprise. ,,You didn't expect me to be honest?", he asked me. ,,Honestly, no.", I said, shrugging my shoulders. I ordered another glass and finished it. ,,I wanted to apologize for hurting you in some way.", he picked up the topic from yesterday. ,,Michael, don't.", i begged him and put the glass down. ,,Please Maria, I want this to be cleared up.", he looked at me with a pleading look. I put the money under my glass and stood up. ,,Have a nice evening.", I hissed. Michael held me back by the wrist and I pushed back towards him. ,,Maria I...", before finishing his speech, the windows cracked. It was a bullet, I looked towards the window in shock. ,,EVERYBODY ON THE FLOOR!!!", Michael screamed and pulled me to the ground. More shots fell on us and everyone screamed in panic. ,,Michael I'm scared.", I whispered in panic. He took my face between his hands and said: ,,Breathe in and out...". I did as he said and under his touch I felt safer somehow.

,,I will go out and catch him or her. Promise me to stay here.", he whispered to me. Panic-stricken, I looked at him. ,,No way, you go out there, you will be killed!", I said and held him by his wrist. ,,Maria, this is my job, I didn't become a policeman for no reason. Keeping you safe is my priority!", he said and pushed me away. ,,Michael don't do that! Otherwise I'll come with you!", I didn't want the thought that he could die. Why was I worrying about him. ,,No, promise to stay here.", he looked at me earnestly. Your safety is important to me!", he said and kissed me on my head and left. Ten minutes passed and no sign of Michael. How naive and stupid this decision will be, I got up and ran out. Around the corner I bucked off and stopped in shock. Michael was sitting on the ground and his leg was bleeding. A person next to him was lying unconscious on the floor. ,,Michael!", I shouted and ran to him. I took a closer look at his leg, a bullet wound. ,,What are you doing here?", he hissed angrily. ,,I couldn't wait in there any longer.", I said and wrapped his bleeding leg with my scarf. ,,Maria, you are putting yourself in danger, something could happen to you!", I know he is just worrying. ,,However, it is true on both sides. ,,Nothing happened to me, so calm down. It needs to be treated.", I said.
