Love Me and Hate Me
Un: New House, New People.
Follow, misguide, stand still
Disgust, discourage
On this precious weekend ending
This love's for gentlemen only
Wealthiest gentlemen only
And now that you're lonely
-Lisztomania, Phoenix.
A young girl, who seemed high school age worthy, was shuffling around with boxes in her hand as she moved from a white van with other boxes in it, to a newly painted white house. A older lady, who looked a bit like the girl was yelling at the men who were helping out.
This was the new family that had bought the house a couple days ago. They were the Paige family. They consisted of two people, Jaykki Paige and Maddison Paige. Maddison had come to live with her aunt after something unexpectedly happened to her mother back in America. Jaykki who had been living in a small trailer home, had to move once the news of her niece was coming to live with her. She bought the white painted house, and they began to move in the house just today. The Paige family wasn't one known by very many people, so when the neighbors wondered who was moving in they were curious. Once they heard it was the Paige family, that had never heard of a family with that last name. They were uninterested from there, and Jaykki and Maddison were left in peace from their neighbors.
Maddison was a eye-catcher. With her long light brown hair, and her intelligent glinting, green eyes. She had a nice figure, not to big and not to skinny. She was good at getting the boys to stare at her while she walked past, even if she didn't want them to. The aura that she gave off made her seem unapproachable, and those who were brave enough to go up to her, got a mouth full of bitchiness. She was like her aunt, Jaykki. Maddison had a tough personality, but she was a nice person.
"Maddie, you doing good?" Her aunt asked, giving her a thumbs up with a small tilt to her head. Jaykki was a young woman, who was somewhere in her twenties. She wasn't good at the whole responsible adult thing, or parenting.
"Yeah."
"You don't need any help?"
"Psh, like you'd help." Maddie gave her aunt a smile, bringing the box of items into the newly bought house.
"Well, I would but I'm just not feeling it at the moment, you know?" Jaykki shrugged her shoulders, and Maddie rolled her eyes. The aunt turned to the movers, putting a hand on her hip and pointing the other at the men. "Do not drop those boxes or I swear to god you won't be working by tomorrow!" She threatened. The movers merely looked at her as they continued their way. "No, no, no! Give them to me." She growled, walking over and wrenching a box out of one of the man's hands and slowly making her way into the house.
"Jay, they are doing fine, calm down!" Maddie laughed, holding her hands out in exasperation. "Seriously, had did you fit all this shit in that small trailer that you had? Jesus Christ." Maddison shook her head, grabbing another brown box from the van and heading inside. She noticed the box had her name on it. She leaned back to look out the door and called to her aunt, "Yo, Jay, where's my room?"
"Uh, just pick one. I don't really care!" Jaykki furrowed her eyebrows as she rubbed her chin. "Well, actually, it would be nice if I could have the bigger room." She yelled, waving her hand around. "Um, the room with the bookshelf. You can uh, take that one!" She nodded her head, running a hand through her light brown hair. "You like to read, so yeah, take it."
"Kay." Maddie smiled, heading towards a small hallway where she looked through the different rooms for the bookshelf room. When she got to the last door of the hallway she slowly opened it and took a step inside the room.
It was a nice sized room, with tan colored walls and a wooden floor. On one side of the wall, it was all a bookshelf. The wall was a bookshelf, and Maddie felt as if she could have died right then and there. There were two windows in the wall across from Maddison that the sunlight draped through, and the wind blew the already placed curtains that were there. She put the box she was holding down, and went to the center of the room. Maddison let a smile grow on her face as she slowly did a couple spins in her new room. She was absolutely in love with it.
"Jay, is beautiful!" Maddie yelled, running out of the house and towards her aunt. "My room is just amazing." She sighed, giving her aunt a smile. "I'm so glad you bought this house instead of that ugly fuschia colored one." Maddie stuck a finger in her mouth and made a puking noise. Her aunt laughed, giving her a gentle swat on the arm.
"I liked the color of that house."
"No way, that was so ugly."
"You're ugly."
"You're so fucking immature." Maddie laughed, shaking her head as she elbowed her aunt.
"I am not immature!" Jay gasped, putting her hands on her hips. "You're immature for swearing. I mean who swears nowadays, jeez."
"Um, like everyone." Maddison raised her eyebrows as she stared at her aunt. "Is that really the best you could come up with." Jay gave a slow nod, letting out a sigh as her arms feel back to her sides. "Wow, Jay, that was really pathetic."
"It was the only thing I could think of atm."
"Please don't start doing text talk, I can't stand that." Maddie face palmed, letting out an aggravated sigh.
"Well, idc, so you can just stfu."
"Jay! Please stop."
"No."
"Pleaseeee?"
"Okay, fine." Jay smiled, but quickly went after Maddie's sides and started to tickle her. The young girl started to fall to the ground as her aunt tickled her. "Maddie is so ticklish!" She laughed, tickling Maddie's sides. "Ticklish here. And here." She went to Maddie's armpits, and she let out a squeal. "And here." She tickled under Maddie's neck and the girl snorted.
"Jay! Jay, stop!" Maddison laughed, rolling around on the ground. The movers stopped walking and watched the scene with annoyed expressions on their faces. Jaykki didn't stop there and proceeded to tickle Maddie at her knees. "Jaykki! Really, hahah, stop!" She shouted, trying to swat away her aunt's hands. "Jay- hahah! Jaykki Paige!" Her aunt slowly stopped tickling her.
"Please don't say my full name."
"Paige-chan."
"Definitely no."
"I'm going to start saying that now."
"Please don't."
Maddie laughed, a evil glint in her eye as she looked up at her aunt.
A scream near their location cut their conversation. They both looked up, trying to find the source of the screaming. They were both thinking of some friends that were just playing, but they were curious to see who it was. Maddison was the first to spot the boy who was running from a group of older boys. Jay and her both slowly stood up as they watched him start running down the street towards their house. He let out another girly scream, which went well with his girly appearance. Maddie rolled her eyes as her aunt started to elbow her as the boy began to stumble and finally fell. The other boys started going in for the prey, beginning their plan of attack.
"Maddie, go help him." Jay grumbled, waving her hand towards the boys. She went back over to the van, pulling out a box.
"Nah."
"Seriously, go." Jay ordered, giving her niece a stern glare. Maddie let out an frustrated sigh as she made her way over to the group in the road. Jay put the box on the front steps, sitting down on one step and watching as Maddie started taking care of the scene.
"Yo." She greeted, but no one turned around to look at her. They didn't even acknowledge her.
"You done being a little bitch and trying to steal my girl?" The head of the guys asked, his hands on his hips as he stared down at the girly boy. Maddie rolled her eyes, and let out another loud sigh, trying to get their attention but to no avail.
"Yeah, shoulda listened to Jin the first time he told ya, brat." One of his friends spat.
"Are you serious right now." Maddie grabbed the leader of the group of boys, and turned him around. "You are fighting over a girl? Really? Are you guys in elementary school?" She snarled, and they all gave her a confused expression. "Its a school when- You know what, never mind! Just leave the girl alone, yeah?"
"I'm a boy."
"Shut up, kid." Maddie leaned past Jin to look at the girly boy. "I mean come on. Beating up the child would practically be like beating up a girl." She thrusted out a hand towards the boy on the ground, pointing at him. "Plus there is no way he could even begin to fight back with the three of you."
"Girl, why don't you go back to your girlfriend and leave us be. This ain't your conversation, alright?" Jin stated, taking a step towards her. His friends grew smiles on their faces as they started to get closer to her. "Just run along you silly girl."
"And fuck you." Maddie's face went completely expressionless as she pulled her right arm back and thrusted it forward. She slammed her fist into Jin's face, causing him to stumble backwards, trip over the girly boy and fall to the ground. The girly boy managed to get back to his feet, wiping off his black shirt. Jin's friends advanced towards her, but right as they pounced someone grabbed onto her hand and pulled her forward. The two idiots bumped heads, and fell to the ground.
"What the hell!" She yelled as she was practically dragged down the street and away from the group. She gave her aunt a save me sort of look, but her aunt shrugged her shoulders before she went out of sight. "Dude, let me go." She tugged out of his grasp, and eventually took her free hand and grabbed the boy's curly blonde hair and pulled on it.
"Ow, ow, ow! Stop!" He whined, coming to a halt as he tried to pull Maddie's hand from his hair.
She eventually let go of his hair. Once she did, she turned around and started to head back. The boy grabbed her arm, and she pulled out of his grasp.
"Really, dude! Stop touching me!" She yelled, giving him a exasperated expression.
"I just wanted to thank you for saving me!"
"Please don't."
"Thank you for saving me! It really means a lot, and I think we should be friends."
"I don't want to be friends with a kid who isn't old enough to know he's gay."
"I'm actually a tenth grade and I'm not into guys." He stated, putting a finger up in the air. "I'm totally straight!"
"Yeah.." Maddie whispered, glancing away from the kid. "Wait, you're a tenth grade?! You look like you're in third grade!" She looked down at the boy with a blown away expression.
"Most people say that." He shrugged his shoulders. "I take it as a compliment because people also think I'm cute! Do you think I'm cute?"
"I-I, um, er.." Maddie turned her attention away from the boy and smoothed her hair over her eyes as she slowly nodded her head, a small blush spreading across her face.
"Yay!" He clapped his hands, and once he was finished he grabbed hers. "I'm Momiji Sohma. Here." Momiji pulled a lollipop and handed it over to the girl.
"What the hell." Maddison laughed, taking the lollipop and examining it before she tore off the wrapper and put it in her mouth. "Are you a lollipop machine or something?"
"Kind of, I seem to always be caring them with me." He shrugged, putting his hands in his pockets and pulling out a couple more suckers. "You must be new here, I saw the moving van and yeah. What's your name?"
"Maddison Paige."
"Well, its good to meet you! Now we're friends." He nodded his head, a big smile spreading across his face. Maddison let out a sigh, rolling her eyes at the overly happy child looking high schooler. "Tell me, are you going to start Kaibara High School?"
"Yeah, I think that's the place I'm going to."
"Yay! I go there too. So we can hang out!"
Maddison didn't reply to that, and everything became silently quiet as the boy pulled out another lollipop and stuffed it in his mouth. They both stood in the middle of a sidewalk, waiting a couple minutes. Maddison could feel Momiji's eyes staring into her back.
"Would you-"
"Help you with moving in?" He asked cheerfully, looking up at her with excitement in his eyes. Maddison was about to say no, but when she turned around an saw his happy face she couldn't ruin it.
She let out a sigh as she turned around and started to walk back towards her new white house. Momiji ran to catch up to her, walking beside her and chatting away while the girl pretended like she was listening. Once they got back to her house, Momiji introduced himself to her aunt who mysteriously disappeared somewhere in the new house after that. Momiji helped bring in the boxes and unpacking some things while Maddie went through boxes of random junk her aunt kept. When bringing in the last box from outside, Momiji tripped and fell backwards onto the ground with the box falling right onto his chest. Maddison laughed, putting a hand on her hip as she watched the boy start to fake cry and whine. She took the box from him, and put it inside. After about a couple hours of unpacking and sorting through some things they were tired.
They laid out on the grass in the front yard, staring up at the evening sky. They didn't talk for a while, the silence being enough for the short period of time. Maddison closed her eyes, letting out a breath and Momiji did the same. She turned to look at him, an unamused expression on her face.
"Don't copy me."
"Don't copy me."
"Stop."
"Stop."
"Really, Momiji, stop!" Maddison shouted, and the boy chuckled as he nodded his head. She let out a sigh, turning her attention back to the sky. The sun was setting and it created a beautiful sunset that was barely visible over the trees across the street.
"Where are you from?"
"I moved here from America. I used to live in Maine." She answered, crossing her arms over her stomach. "It was really cold and I lived in this horrible little town that sucked ass."
"This city is pretty great, you'll like it."
"Really?"
"Yeah." Momiji nodded, turning to give her a smile. She let a smile slip onto her face, but quickly frowned and shook her head. "You know, you will be welcomed to sit with me at lunch at school!" He stated, happiness in his tone.
"I don't think I will."
"Aw, please!"
"Maybe one day, okay?" She looked at him and he nodded real fast. He pulled out another lollipop from his pants, and put it into his mouth. Silence consumed them again as they both stared at the small passing clouds in the sky. After a couple minutes, Momiji got up and started to walk away without even a goodbye. Maddison sat up, giving him a confused expression as he walked.
"Uh, you going home, kid?" She asked, slowly getting to her feet. He stopped once he got to the sidewalk and gave her a nod. "Well uh, alright. Well goodbye then."
"Bye, bye, Maddison Paige!" He smiled, raising a hand up in the air and waving at her. Maddison rolled her eyes for the hundreth time that day. "I'll see you at school!" He yelled, before he started running down the sidewalk. She watched him until he got out of her sight.
She turned around to take in her new house. She stood for a couple minutes just staring at it with her hands on her hips. She loved it, especially the pretty white color that covered the entire house. She made her way up the front steps and into her house where she collapsed onto the only chair that wasn't wrapped in bubble wrap.
"So you have a good day?" Jaykki asked while yawning.
"Did you seriously go sleep in the closet so no one could find you?" Maddison let out a laugh, leaning back in the chair and putting a hand on her head.
"Where were you, Momiji?" A man asked, going over to a desk and grabbing a file. "I still have to give you your annually check up, you know this." He said, opening up the folder and looking through the file. "Where were you?" He asked again, putting he file back on his desk and facing the blonde boy who was sitting on the porch outside the room.
"I was helping a girl!" He answered, turning his head to look at the man. "She's from America! And she's really pretty!" Momiji giggled, taking a piece of gum and threw it in his mouth and started to chew it. "She's going to the same school." He clapped his hands, turning his attention back to the small garden that the porch over looked.
"Just make sure you don't hug her, got that Momiji?"
"Yeah, yeah, I know, Hatori!"
"Well, I just want to remind you since you seem to forget about it a lot." He crossed his legs in his chair as he looked up at a picture of a girl on his desk. He slowly took it from its spot and examined it. "Things do seem to feel a bit... different."
"You're weird, Harie."
"..."
"But that's okay, because I like you the way you are."
"Momiji." Hatori shook his head, letting out a chuckle. He stared at the picture a couple of seconds before he set it back in its place. He got up from his chair and went over to sit next to the boy. "What's her name again?"
"Maddison Paige."
"Maddison Paige, hmm." He nodded his head, crossing his arms as he looked down at the small garden.
"You should meet her sometime. I think you guys would get along well."
"Why's that?"
"Well you both have this sort of unapproachable air to you. And you both have walls built up to protect yourselves." He shrugged his shoulders, and Hatori looked down at the young boy.
"I see."
"She lives with her aunt."
"Yes?"
"They are alike too." Momiji looked up at Hatori with a serious expression. "Maybe you could meet her. You'd like her aunt as well."
Hatori went silent, and pulled his attention away from Momiji. The boy let out a sigh as he leaned backwards until he fell against the wooden porch and stared up at the sky. He put his hands over his stomach and let a smile spread onto his face. They sat their together in silence as the sun slowly disappeared and the sky became dark.
I'm re-editing all of these chapters because I can't stand seeing the one liner sentences and all that. It really makes me feel like its garbage and I feel also that it has more potential then being some lazy fangirl story. I want it to have more like 1,000 words at least. I've also fixed Maddison's personality a bit and I'm going to be adding in more of her aunt and Hatori because I am seriously in love with him and he will be my husband.
I hope you guys liked this newly edited chapter as I tried to make it longer and added in more of a conversation with Momiji and Maddison.
Remember to post a quick review before you leave!
Next Chapter Preview: Maddison gets in a situation with Hatsuharu and starts to meet the other Sohma's + Tohru!
