The Bond Between Us

Chapter 2
Martins watch as she get closer, his heart is practically doing flip flop, he never knew its possible for all human sense to focus on one thing cause right now all his senses is focused on the girl approaching. The sound of her footsteps, the scent of her perfume that already caught his nose, his body that is on fire even when she haven't touch him and his eyes that haven't strained from her.
"Hi am joy" she said and Martins knew that moment he will never forget that sound "am sorry for the accident, you seem a little distracted, can we drop you where you are going, its safer that way" she said still wearing her gorgeous smile. Decisions, choices,  road taken are the key factor of fate, Martin keep thinking, since he have taken this road that's why fate brought her this beauty, but seeing as they are world apart, you can easily see she is first class and Martin is even below third class he is from the slum. He then decided to change the fate, so he need to make a decision he either choose to go with her or not, going with her might give them more string of fate which he believe will only end badly so he decided to cut the string now.
"Don't worry am fine" he said, then turned and left, he know its rude but its for the best.
"Are you sure" she asked behind him, he just gave her a wave "I never got your name" she said, it gladdens his heart but he already want to end things up before anything start.
"It doesn't matter" he said and quicken his step, he decided to take the long way home, he believe it will also help him purge her from his mind and his heart.
"Joy" he muttered and smile, he is sure he won't see her again that's what he wanted but he is not happy about it.
When he got home he gave his mother the drugs and went to take his bath before eating, its a bungalow the only house they didn't sell after his father's bankruptcy,
"So anything happened today" his mother asked, as he stepped out to eat, his mind immediately flew to a certain girl, Joy
"No nothing special" he shrugged, and started eating, the long way home didn't do anything to purge joy away from his mind. Her smile, her light footstep, her skin her voice everything is still imprinted in his mind.
Days turn to weeks, even though he never went home through that way again but Joy never left his mind, it was torture to him, to an extent he can endure anymore.
"I still find myself here" he said as he stood at the exact spot he met joy, he have been standing over 30 mins but no car have drove by. He knows he decided not to take this road but he can't torture himself anymore, he believe if he sees the girl again he will be happy, he won't start anything with her, maybe he is still thinking of her because he was rude to her, he kept thinking many thing never paying attention as the day changed to night gradually.
"Time to go home, mom will be worried", he don't even have airtime to call his mother, he brought out his beat up Android phone, its been 2 years now he bought.
He was about leaving when he heard shouting, he don't need a warning for him to know its bad news so he quickly found a spot to hide.
"Give us your wallet" he heard someone said, he always heard stories of arm robbers here he never knew its true.
"Here is it" I heard, I think its the guy they are robbing, its dark so I can't see them well, and this road is always lonely especially at this time, he peeped them, it was horror when he saw gun, they we're 3 guys trying to rob on guy. He ransack his brain on what to do, he knew its suicide to come out.
But he have to do something, he came up with an idea, he brought out his phone and search his playlist for the siren he downloaded way back. And then played it, luckily the silence of the night made it loud.
"Its the police, come let's go" one of the guys said and they took off, Martins use the opportunity to come out, it startled the guy
"Come on let's go" he said to home, he can hardly see the guy face
"No, the police is on their way" the guy said confidently
"Brother, the siren was all me" Martin said and played the siren and realization dawn the guy
"Let's go then" he took off with Martin, Martin was happy cause he have never saved anyone before so he is feeling pretty cool.
After putting some distance between us we decided to stop and beside we are now out in the busy street,
"That's one hell of a smart move" the guy said as they both catches their breath "by the way am George" he said and Martins turn only to see his old school mate George
"George?" He asked just to be sure
"Martins!" George screamed, and Martins was overwhelmed, he never knew he will end up saving his old school mate, "where have you been" he asked, Martin left their prestigious school after his father's bankruptcy, and left most of his friends too.
"Around" he answered, for some odd reason he can feel a storm coming.
