Me and God Love Her
Prologue
Just a girl born in Dixie
Washed in the blood
And raised on the banks
Of the Mississippi mud
Maximum Ride stood out on her front porch, her best friend, Lupo Greyback, standing next to her. Their fathers stood at the front door, watching their daughters with the love only a parent could have in their eyes.
Jeb Ride and Jerry Greyback had been best buds for years, so when Jeb met the woman of his dreams and they had their first born, Jerry automatically let them stay with him and his two newborn twins, Lupo and Lobo. A year later and Valencia had brought Ella into the world. Six years after that and Aidan, the same age as Max and the twins, showed up on their doorstep. And the blind boy wasn't turned away.
Max and Lupo were now seventeen, and their fathers couldn't believe how much they had grown. In all ways.
Other than the obvious, Lupo and Max had also grown in strength, wisdom, and persistence. Anything they wanted, which was usually reasonable compared to the girls they went to school with, they got their own way.
All of the kids were like siblings- Lobo like the older brother, Lupo and Max were the outstanding girls, and Aidan tended to be like the younger brother. And Ella was the one left out. Granted, she was a sweet kid, but she just didn't get along with the others. Especially Lupo.
The two-families-as-one lived on a good hundred acres in Mississippi, and everyone loved looking out from the porch or windows to that beautiful land.
The wind blew, making both of the girls hair whip around. Lupo's dirty blond hair easily doubled Max's shoulder length light brown hair, and the girls eyes were somewhat similar, yet so different with Max's milk chocolate eyes and Lupo's deep golden ones. The girls skin was the same light tan and their features were pretty similar as well. Like their height (Lupo only being a third of an inch taller than Max, both considerably tall for their age), their muscle (they both might have had skills when it came to violence, the both could also be easily thrown over a larger persons shoulder), and the shape of their faces (same perfectly angular faces, Max's cheekbones just a bit more prominent).
Lobo was a male version of Lupo, more muscular and much taller. Lobo was always taller than everyone in their school and, well, he wasn't 'I'm on steroids and I look like a lumpy guy who cant touch his head' muscular, but he was pretty muscled.
Aidan was one of the taller people in the school, also, but he wasn't as tall as Lobo and was nowhere near as muscular. Aidan actually wasn't very muscular at all, he was just really tall and lanky. He had bright red hair, and not the orange red, the actual red, and deep red eyes with black flecks. He was also fair skinned and tended to stick out like a sore thumb around the others.
Lupo was leaning against the railing, Max leaning slightly on the railing and slightly on her side. The girls were really close, even shared a room with no problems, and you could never find them apart from each other. Anything one got into, the other was soon to follow.
And that meant anything.
