Chapter 2:
As soon as I arrived at my brother's house, I bolted up the stairs and slammed the front door open, "Oi! Bruder where are you?" I yelled, proceeding further into the house I found him cleaning up some dishes in the living room.
"Do you have to be so loud?" he said with a huff, taking the tray of plates and bowls to the kitchen. Gott you could tell he was a huge neat freak by the way his kitchen smelt like cleaner, he really needs to live a little.
"Oh but Ludwig! I know you missed mein awesomeness! Keseses!" I laugh throwing my arm around his shoulders. Frowning my brow I release him from my grip and slapped the back of his head, "hey! I had to get that really creepy Russian from line three to drive me home because you weren't there! Where the heck did you go? We carpool remember!" I practically yelled at him at that point. Ludwig stared at me with his ever so present serious face, letting out a sign as he finished the dishes
"I had to come home because Feliciano was sick," Ludwig said pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance. Walking back to the living room, he took a seat in the chair on the left side of the room and let's out yet another huff of air. "Gilbert, please tell me why you are here so early in the morning?" he said with no real emotion.
I looked at my brother in slight confusion, it wasn't that early was it? Taking a glance at my phone the digital clock on the screen read 9:45 am, "heilige Scheiße! I didn't realize what time it was!" I said in surprise, I was never up this early, even on a good day. "Umm anyway how is Feli?" I asked trying to bypass the subject of why I was here. Fidgeting with my hand I attempted to avoid any eye contact with my younger brother. My actions seem to fail as Ludwig opened his mouth to speak,
"Feli's getting better but that doesn't answer the question of why you are here."
Letting out a sigh I decided to tell my brother the reason I was here, "Madeline's at my house." I pretty much whispered. The hint of a blush crept up on my cheeks as I felt my face become warmer at the thought of Madeline. Ludwig raised an eyebrow at me and groaned
"Seriously? That's the reason you're here?" he shook his head in frustration but continued, "Gilbert, she's just a person. I'm sure you can be in the same house as her. Tell me why is it that you can walk around and flirt with every girl you see but as soon as it comes to Miss Williams you can barely be in the same room as her?" Ludwig rubbed his hands over his face as he spoke. Once he was finished talking he then glared at me waiting for a response. Bring my hand up to cover my face I sat in silence for a few moments before brushing my figures violently through my hair letting out yet another large breath of air, Gott I felt like a teenage girl with all the signing I had done.
"West, she not just some girl!" I yelled,
"Madeline is a perfect, beautiful, creation from god! She's everything anyone could ever want! Madeline is not like other girls, she's sweet and caring, loving but can be tough when needed. Super smart, though she will never boast about it. Shy at first but after you get to know her she actually talks a lot! Madeline is always there when it comes to her friends and family, she'll stick up for them no matter what! Madeline is the most awesome person I have ever met! I mean like more awesome than me, the king of awesome!" as I said every word my smile got bigger and bigger until I started thinking about myself, "and I'm nothing compared to her, I'm just Gilbert the awesome albino. Annoying and cocky, self-centered and stubborn. Most certainly not fit for Madeline Williams." burying my face in my hands, I let out a huge breath through my nose.
