To my own relief I was finally home. No one I knew saw me thankfully and I really wanted to get out of this dress. But when I got up to my room and looked at myself in the mirror I just stood there smiling at my reflection. Okay really. What is up with me? First I call a guy I barley know, "handsome" and now I think I look good in a dress. Yeah, there is something seriously wrong with me. So I threw myself down on my bed and clicked the play button on my remote for my ipod dock to start playing. The first song that came on, I had no idea what it was. I decided to let it play to listen to it.
Don't know much about your life Don't want to be alone tonight You don't know about my past
Don't know much about your world but
On this planet they call earth.
And I don't have a future figured out
And maybe this is going too fast
And maybe it's not meant to last
Why did I let Ella put songs on my ipod?
But what do you say to takin' chances? I just want to start again What do you say to takin' chances? And I had my heart beaten down What do you say to takin' chances? Don't know much about your life,
What do you say to jumpin' off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or a hand to hold, or hell to pay
What do you say?
What do you say?
Maybe you can show me how to try
Maybe you could take me in
Somewhere underneath your skin
What do you say to jumpin' off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or a hand to hold, or hell to pay
What do you say?
What do you say?
But I always come back for more, yeah.
There's nothing but love to pull you up,
When you're lying down on the floor yeah
So talk to me, talk to me
Like lovers do
Yeah walk with me, walk with me
Like lovers do
Like lovers do
What do you say to jumpin' off the edge?
And never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or a hand to hold, or hell to pay
What do you say?
What do you say?
And I don't know much about your world.
By the end of the song I was surprised that I actually liked it. Then turning over onto my stomach, and listening to the next song that came on, I closed my eyes and somehow drifted off into a deep sleep.
I awoke to the sun streaming into my window. I can't believe I feel asleep so fast. Taking a quick look at my clock it said that it was 11:30. How could I have gone to bed so early and woken up so late? Then I remembered that Iggy, Ella, Fang and I were going to hand out until Iggy and Ella's date. I immediately knew that today was taking to be a fun day. After a few minutes decided to get up out of bed. Standing up I realized that I fell asleep with my dress on. It was a wrinkled mess, so I grabbed some clothes, ran into the bathroom and got a shower. Towel drying my hair and putting some moose in it was what I usually did to my hair. And what I usually wore during a day such as this was jeans and a tee-shirt, so I put on a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a Nickleback tee-shirt. Walking back into my room I picked up my cell phone to find that I had a text message from Fang.
(Fang & Max)
Hey Max. I'll be there in about 20 minutes.
I honestly couldn't wait to get today started.
Alright, can't waitJ
And I pressed send before I knew what I was doing. Since when did I put smiley faces in text's.
"Max Iggy is here." My mom yelled from downstairs. I stuffed my cell phone in my pocket and ran downstairs.
"Hey Ig…" Before I could say anything else he started bursting out laughing.
"What are you laughing at you idiot?"
"You." He said in between a break in his laughter.
"Why? What did I do this time?" I haven't even talked or seen Iggy since yesterday.
"I really don't want to tell you because I know you'll kill me." That bad huh?
"Ig just tell me." And if he doesn't tell me I might just kill him.
"I saw you…wearing a dress." He said in a small voice. Wait!! He what!!!
"You saw me in that dress!! When did you see me, cause I didn't see you?!"
"When you were leaving for the car, I was pulling in to get Ella." I swear if he tells anybody…
"Don't worry Max I won't tell anybody. First off they wouldn't believe me and second I'm too young to die." Well at least he knows better not to tell anybody.
"Hey Iggy." Ella said coming from upstairs all smiley and cute. Iggy walked over to her and kissed her on the cheek. So I now have to get over the fact that my little sister and best friend are dating. At least I'll have Fang. Wait forget I said that. And before I had to see anymore lovey dovey stuff between Ella and Iggy there was a knock on the door.
"Will you guys please not do that. I know I didn't eat breakfast but I think I'm about to throw up. And besides I think that's Fang." I walked around the corner to open the door, but before I could I heard Ella say, "Oh, did you hear that Ig? It's Fang." He started laughing like there was no tomorrow. "You know guys I can hear you?!" I yelled at them from the door. Opening it I found Fang and Linda standing at the door.
"Hi Max." Linda said standing in the doorway with a smile on her face.
"Hi Linda, Fang. Come in." I said gesturing with my hand.
"Thanks hun." Linda said giving me a hug walking into the house.
"Hey Max." Fang said walking up beside me after his mom let me go. I shut the door behind him.
"Hey Fang. Ready to meet Ella and Iggy." I asked hoping that they weren't making out. Yes I know they just started dating but I wouldn't put it past them.
"Oh yes." He said smiling at me with the smile that makes my heart skip a beat. Note to self: Learn how to ignore that. So we walked into the living room only to find Iggy and Ella holding hands and talking softly to each other on the loveseat. I will admit they make a really cute couple.
"El, Ig. This is Fang. Fang, Ella and Iggy." I said moving my hand back and forth. The two got up to greet Fang.
"Yo, dude." Iggy said giving Fang a fist bump. I can tell that these two will get along.
"Hey Fang." Ella said throwing a small wave his way. I know Ella will get along with him too.
*Remember when we'd stay up late and talk all night…
Now that was Iggy's ringtone. I knew before I even had a chance to look at him getting his phone out of his pocket.
"UUGGHH!!" Iggy said flipping his phone shut. "My mom wants me to baby-sit the little brats." Before he could say anything else I told him that the kids can just come over here and we can watch them while we all hang out.
"Are you sure Max. You know they'll just get in the way."
"Iggy those little angles will not get in our way. Besides Angel and Gazzy always listen to you. And they love it here."
"Okay if you say so Max." Then I remembered that Fang was still here and I hoped he didn't mind that there were little kids coming. I looked over to him.
"Don't worry about it. I love kids." I gave him a thankful smile.
"I'm not sure if you'll like these little devils Fang." Iggy said. Then I punched him in the arm. "Ouch! Max that hurt." What a baby.
"Well it wasn't suppose to feel good." Was my only reply sending him a death glare.
"Max don't punch Iggy." Ella said looking at his arm where I punched him.
"She\I barley punched him." Fang and I said at the same time. I looked over at him. "Well that was weird." We both said at the same time again. Then we both started bursting out laughing.
"You guys are so weird." Iggy said rubbing his arm.
"Well you know what? You picked me as a friend so it's your fault. You'll just have to be a better decision maker."
"Hey guys, me and Linda are going to out for a while. We'll be back later. Max if you guys go anywhere text me."
"Okay mom." I said as the two walked out the door. "Bye love you."
"So…" Iggy said smiling looking at Ella. Wait! Hold it a minute here.
"Ella, does mom know you and Iggy are going out tonight?" I said through my teeth She better have told her. She smiled slightly and shook her head. My mouth gaped open.
"Max you might want to shut your mouth or you might catch some flies." Fang said to me making me close my mouth.
"So does that mean Fang and I are going to have to watch the kids by ourselves tonight?" Ella's face lit up with a bright smile.
"Thank you so much Max!" Running over to me embracing me in a hug.
"Yeah, yeah. Oh and Iggy, you are giving me and Fang the babysitting money you are supposed to be earning.'
"Come on Max, I am so broke right now." Iggy complained.
"Well then you can take the little kids on your date with Ella." He ran his fingers impatiently through his hair.
"Fine…whatever." He agreed.
"Looks like we are going to be earning some money tonight." I turned to Fang who had been quiet for a while and gave him a fist bump.
"Alright, sound good to me. So when are these kids getting here?" And almost right on cue the doorbell rang. "That would be them." I said running over to the door getting ready to be pounced on.
