More than a brother

How dare you! and you came back without her! sh*t we are all doomed! an hefty man shouted, he was known as Biggy because of his size, he turned to Maxwell who was not even looking away from him, were you not assigned to protect her, he grabbed his shirt, you left her behind, you left a woman behind! A hot slap landed on his face, you all will be dead meats once boss finds out about this, he faced Maxwell again and held him by the collar, you swore to protect her with your life didn't you, you think your life is worth a dime compared to hers! a punch landed on his face, how could you all be so stupid! and another punch landed on his face, his face was bleeding and dripping blood, Biggy paced to and fro, she better not be dead, she better not be dead, he grabbed another boy by the collar, weren't you supposed to watch your back, and he punched him on his belly, the boy groaned in pain, why did you leave her behind...

Stop! a female voice shouted,

from the dark night shadows Didi walked to the angry Biggy, I'm alive, they didn't leave me, I was the one who wasted some time, they tried catching me, There's no way we won't watch our back, people make mistakes.

Biggy looked at the small matured girl standing at his front, he felt the urge to slap her but he dared not try, he would be skinned alive, just like everyone he wondered what was so special about her, he looked at her for few seconds, spat on the ground and walked out in annoyance.

Guys I'm very sorry, I'm really sorry, but Maxwell walked out in annoyance, she noticed his bleeding face and ran after him,

Well, Well she called, she followed him until he got to an open field, he was in so much rage that he kicked at anything that came across his leg, he shouted and cried in pain, Didi could only watch him from a distance, she could feel the hurt and pain he was feeling, she couldn't act like she don't love him, she did because he was her only companion since she met her dad, he has been a brother a friend and a protector, seeing him in pain tears her apart, she could remember very well the day she mistakenly fell some package filled with drugs and it went to waste, there was no way her father could pardon her because it worth a whole fortune, he took the blame and she couldn't forget how much he suffered for her, he never wanted to see her cry, he has always been a big brother, but a big brother who's turning a lover was something that felt funny to Didi she was not the only female around, but he's got his eyes on her.

Maxwell please stop! Maxwell stop it, you're hurting yourself she cried, max stop it she broke down in tears, stop it....

Maxwell turned and saw Didi on the floor crying, he forgot his weary self and walked to her crying spot with blood shot eyes, removing her wet hair from her face, he touched her cheek, why are you crying he asked, don't you know these tears are precious, she held his hands and burst into tears again

shhh shh she sounded closing her mouth, don't let anyone see you cry like this, a lioness has never shown her weakness, Didi stop it he said holding her in his arms, she sobbed until she was calm. They walked to a little water gathering on the ground of the field, Maxwell bent his head to the water level, Didi deeper her hands into the water and washed the blood on his face, he didn't flinch till she was done, she pulled off her top remaining her singlet on her, she wiped his face carefully and blew every part were there was a sore.

Are you mad at me she asked,

he smiled, the day ill get mad at you then I invite my death he said

gbam! a sound slap landed on his face, why would you talk about your death, do you want to leave me alone she said babishly, he smiled, yes, I can't stay with someone who doesn't love me he answered, she stopped cleaning his face,

How much love do I have to buy to show you I love you, why are you so blind planet Mars.

There she goes again calling me planet, you are so bad mouthed little devil he said irritatingly,

oh....you've finally found me a name, its true, only dad loves me she said and started Cleaning his face again but he pushed her hand away,

why are you so blind D, he saved you to use you, so did he do to us, I was once his favorite before you came, can't you see....

Well stop these talks ....

Call me Mars, call me Well, D, you know I want the best for you even if I don't want the best for myself, the devil doesn't shows love, he uses what he wants to get what he want....Didi I hope you'll be wise soon, he's so rich enough that he don't need to send us to big parties or people's organizations to get onething or the other, D he will get us ki....

Its ok Max that's enough she said getting up, he got up with her, why do little truth I say offend you little one he said on her neck as he planted a little kiss on her neck, I'm not telling you to hate your dad, I'm saying... the devil doesn't bargain, if you feel too much pressure, know when to run....truly he loves you he said, he held her by the waist and moved his face closer... Mr planet she said pushing him away, don't you get it, you're like a brother to me... this is...gosh...., Maxwell smiled, i want to be more than a brother he said
