Max POV
It's cold. Very very cold. There's SNOW on the ground. As many of you may know, snow, cold weather, rain…..we don't get along. I hate hate hate hate the cold. But the rest of the Flock just looooooooooooooove it. They've been having snowball fights every day, and some at night, while I sit on the couch drinking hot cocoa and watching soap operas. There was nothing else on. Even Fang left me to go have fun in the snow. He said I was boring. Whatever! I have better things to do than prancing around in ice that fell from the sky. I just haven't found out what that thing is.
Suddenly I heard the front door open and Evan and Juay stepped through the door, dripping wet with snow in their hair. They were also letting the cold in air in, almost blowing out the fire in the fireplace. They got snow all on the floor.
"Close the door! It's cold!" I told them.
"Oh come on, Mom! Come outside! It's fun!" he said flicking water on my face. I quickly wiped it off.
"No thanks," I said disgusted.
"Please, Max?" Juay said.
"I'll just stay here, watching All My Grandchildren and getting drunk off of hot chocolate"
"Alright. See ya later, Mom," Evan said holding the door open for Juay. He's such a gentlemen to her. Let that be me, trying to go outside and he wouldn't think twice about opening the door for me. He just might have let it close on me. But hey. Juay has come around more. More play dates, more stays over for dinner… she even insisted that we call her Juay. Evan didn't like that too much because that nickname was supposed to be especially for him. He got over it soon.
I felt a rush of cold air again. I looked back at the door to see Fang standing there, with snow all in his hair, his puffy black coat about down to his knees, thick black gloves, jeans, and black Timberlands. He shook his hair like a wet dog and grinned evilly at me. I was suddenly very frightened.
"Evan told me you didn't wanna come outside," he said. Evan! That little booger ratted me out! I'm in some serious trouble. I already have an idea of what he's gonna do.
"Touch me, and you will never see the light of day again," I said glaring at him.
"You didn't say that last night,"
"You're sick! What do you want?"
"Oh nothing. Just checking on you," he said walking towards me. He placed a small kiss on my lips. I was distracted for a second, then my mind came back to find that I was now in his arms. Being carried. Towards the door.
Oh, God.
"Fang put me down right now," I said quickly.
"Nah, I don't feel like it."
"Fang put me down right now," I repeated.
"Nope."
"FANG PUT ME DOWN RIGHT NOW."
"……………Nope."
I growled at him and thrashed and made it as difficult as possible for him to get me through the door. Did I mention how it didn't phase him at all? When we got to the door I stretched my arms out in an attempt to keep myself inside and away from the frigid cold and the snow that I knew he was gonna thro me in. In my head I kept begging,
Please, please don't do this to me, please don't do this to me….
But I forgot how he can read my mind because of the stupid Voice thing so he heard what I said. Darn it! My hold finally broke on the sides of the door and the cold hit me. I immediately began shivering. It's like 20 degrees out here! I saw the rest of the Flock looking at me with huge, evil, smiles on their faces. The twins were laughing. And Ryan, oh, I know he is just loving this. Getting ready to see to see the great Maximum Ride thrown in snow. I'm surprised they weren't selling tickets to the neighborhood kids.
Then I saw my demise. A giant pile of white snow. With Evan around, there could be anything in that pile. Ice, being my main worry. They all planned this. All of them. Even Shiloh was laughing. They all knew Fang was only who was strong enough to go through with this kind of plan. My own kids, Aiden included, were smirking at me.
What a family I have.
By now, my teeth were chattering and I was begging Fang with my eyes and mind to let me go free. To let me just go backing the house. I mean, I wasn't bothering anyone! And they didn't even let me put a coat on! I'm here, hovering over a pile of snow that's about to finish me off, in a fleece sweater and one of Fang's super huge fleece hoodies, jeans, and slippers. Well, they're slippers but they kinda look like boots. You get the idea.
"Sorry Max," Fang said as he let me go and I went sailing into that evil, ridiculous EXTREMELY COLD pile of snow. It got all in my pants (yes, underwear INCLUDED) my shirt (bra also included) my hair, my shoes, everywhere. I was absolutely drenched and freezing. I'm pretty sure I'm going to die of hypothermia!
The cold hit me so hard I can hardly breathe. I hear the laughs of all the Flock and Fang chuckling. Everyone enjoying my misfortune.
Now I am angry.
I stood up quickly, brushing off snow and glaring at everyone at the same time. My shivering before was nothing compared to this. I could actually hear my teeth chattering this time. I ran straight back into the house. Fang probably followed me, but guess what? I hate him right now! I ran straight to our room and grabbed another sweater and thick sweat pants, a pair of wool socks, my other boot-like slippers and the other super huge hoodie that Fang was probably going to put on when he came back in. Looks like he can't wear it anymore! Since my undies are drenched too, I grabbed a pair of clean boxers from Fang's drawer (Clean ones are very hard to find, by the way,) and a pair of my own underwear so I have double the warmth down there. Then I shot to the bathroom, grabbed a towel, and turned on the hot water. I didn't even bother turning the cold water on. I stayed in there for about an hour. Maybe longer. Jamie knocked on the door.
"Mommy I gotta use the bathroom!" She called.
"Tough noodles!" I replied. I'm not too happy with anyone right now. When I finally got out, I put on all those layers of clothes and walked into the kitchen, not looking at anyone. I heated up some more hot cocoa in my very large mug, and went back up into my room, still not looking at anyone. I could feel their eyes on me. Thankfully I heard the shower running in our room, meaning I could steal the TV and annoy him. I spread out on our huge bed, turned the TV on and continued watching the wonderful soap opera that I was busy with before he decided to throw me in the snow.
When he came out, he looked confused.
"Max, have seen my--" Then he glared at me. "You know that's my favorite winter hoodie,"
"Well since you decided to soak me in mine, I took yours. Deal with it." I said, angrily.
"Max, you--" I cut him off by turning the TV up higher. He sighed and stomped out. Probably going to the laundry room to look for another hoodie or sweater. I smiled to myself, realizing that I'd won. But then I thought I could annoy him some more, so I locked the door.
(Awesome Trilogy Invisible Trilogy Line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I
For the rest of the day, I'd basically given everyone the cold shoulder. I spoke to no one. After dinner, I went straight back to my room and locked the door. The kids were pretty upset that I wasn't talking to them, but that's what they get for going against their Mom! I'm sitting, all bundled up in my bed, watching Lifetime. I never thought I'd watch this channel ever in my life. Then again, I never thought I'd watch soap operas either so…
But this really sad movie was on. I forget the name of it. I think it's the Memory Keeper's Daughter. This movie is so so sad! I'm actually crying! This is what the winter does to me, folks. Makes me like an overemotional woman who can't control her tear ducts and watches Lifetime.
I hear Fang walk up to the door. He knocks.
"What?" I say, a little harsher than necessary.
"I'm sleepy,"
"Your point?"
"Let me in so I can go to bed,"
"I don't feel like it," I say, quoting him from earlier.
"Max, come on. The day's just about over. Let me in!"
"Nah, I don't think so. You can sleep on the couch."
"I'll make Evan give me his bed before I sleep on the couch. Let me in,"
"No,"
"Max!"
"No,"
"Ugh…."
I hear his footsteps move away. The thing is, they move toward Iggy and Ella's room. He's gonna try to get Iggy's lock picking kit, bust in, and have that arrogant smirk on his face. Little does he know, that I barricaded the door and locked the window. He wouldn't dare break it. So now what, Fangy? I win!
For now, He replied in my head.
Whatever. This was jus to get back at him for throwing me in the snow. It doesn't have to be a big, huge war just because I locked him out of our room.
You took away my bed. This is now, war.
If you want to make this war, this won't be the only night you will be bedless. You'll also be deprived of something else if you know what I mean…..
……You are so evil.
I know. Have fun on the couch!
Goodnight.
Night.
MORNING
"Maaaaaaaax!" I heard someone yell through the door. I spent the entire night tossing and turning because my furnace (Fang, who is ALWAYS so, so warm!) was not there last night.
"What?" I called back.
"Wake up! Breakfast is ready!" It was Ella.
"I'll think about it,"
"Fang, she won't get up," she told him.
MAX GET THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!! he yelled in my head. I fell off the bed, landing on my bad side, aka the side I was stabbed on. I let out half a yell, but stopped it. Then Fang and Ella would worry.
"Max, what happened?"
"Nothing, you just made me fall out of bed," I told him.
"You landed on your bad side, didn't you?" I paused.
"Did you hear that in my head, or are you guessing?"
"Both. Unlock the door."
I sighed and walked/ limped to the door. I moved my barricade and opened it, smiling weakly at Fang and Ella.
"Morning," I said.
"Don't lock your door when your in there alone," Fang said. I nodded. He kissed my forehead then asked if I was okay to walk. I hesitantly said yes, and we headed to breakfast.
"Mommy, are you still mad at us?" Char said. She had on her sunglasses. Looking me right in the eye. We found out that if she wears sunglasses, we won't get knocked out y her super eyes. I know. Awesome, right?
"No, baby. I'm not mad anymore."
"Good. I'm sorry,"
"Me too," Jamie said.
"Me three," said Evan.
"Me four!" Shiloh said.
"We're all sorry, Max. it was just a little fun," Angel told me. I smiled at her.
"Well I'm not. I rather enjoyed it," Iggy snickered. I hit him on the head. What an idiot brother I have.
"I would say the same thing, but I'm pretty sure a hit like that hurt even you, Iggy. Imagine what it would do to me,"
At that, we all laughed. He was absolutely right. I looked at the clock. It was time to take Evan and the twins to school. Waking them up is easier now, even though they constantly hope for a snow day. I finished up my last bit of eggs and put mine, as well as the kids plates in the sink. I told them to grab their book bags and get in our Chevy Tahoe. I ran upstairs to get my purse ( I know, I know. Me? A purse? Huge shocker! But it's not all girly and purse-like. It's like a small messenger bag,). Why do I need a purse? You ask. Well that's because Juay's aunt, Missy, (who is one of my best friends now. She's 26!) made a bet with me that I couldn't pluck a feather from each person in the Flock. Yes, she knows about the whole wing thing. She took it well. So did Juay. Especially when Evan took her for a little fly. But the point is, I did it. Without them knowing, and she owes me ten bucks per feather. I needed my bag to not also collect the money, but the to hide the feathers as well. I'm sure if they find out, they're all going to be so pissed but let's just count it as more payback for the whole throw-Max-in-the-snow plan.
I jumped into the front seat of my truck and took off towards Phoenix Elementary School.
