chapter three- Terrified- Maxxie
I woke up at nine, Mika was still asleep in her bed. I got up and dressed, I had to be at the Four Roses to meet Billy and Scarlet. I hope they get on- Billy and Scar. Scarlet was my cousin, from my dads side. His sister was my aunt.
After I was dressed I walked across the room to Mika.
"Come on." I tapped her on the shoulder. She rolled over and moan.
"Come on!" I shouted, I wanna go i thought to myself. She jumped out of her skin at me, her bright blue eyes flashed open.
"Alright." She moaned as she dragged her self out of bed. She got dressed in her normal clothes. We walked down the stairs and was greeted by her older brother Eli.
"Hey Maxxie." He said to me, he had a huge grin on his face.
"Hey." I said to him nervously. I liked him for ages now and i even told Mika. She thinks it's disgusting.
"Do you want me to make you some breakfast?" He asked.
"Yeah alright. What do you have?" I answered. Trying to hide how nervous i was.
"I dont know, ill go check." He walked quickly into the kitchen and then walked back. I heard the top carboard slamming shut as he had quickly hurried back. He listed a few of the things he could remember and i decided that i wanted pancakes. After we had eaten, i phone Moonlight and asked her to come pick us up. She said to me she would be here in half an hour.
But after about an hour of waiting around bored out of our skulls the dooorbell went.
"Ill get it." Mika yelled as she jumped out of her seat and ran to the door. After about 2 minutes she came back with Moonlight. Moonlight came over and hugged me, i just had enough time to stand up.
"So who we meeting Max?" Moonlight asked.
"Scarlett and Billy and his mates." I repliled. I told her last night I thought to myself.
"Oh, well instead of meeting Scarlet. Why don't we go pick her up." Moonlight suggested.
"Suppose we could, if we hurry up." I repilied.
We all walked out to the front door, Moonlight and Mika walked out.
"Bye Eli." I yelled before I walked out.
"Bye, Max." I heard him yell before I shut the door behind me. I got into the car and Moonlight started the engine. She turned the car around because Scarlett lived in the other direction. We didn't really talk in the car and after last night (with Moonlight nearly killing us), she was busy keeping an eye on the road.
Mika had fallen asleep in the back of the car, you could hear her snoozing, she was onl aslee because i woke her up to early. We turned round the corner and we are now driving along Well Street. We parked outside her house. All three of us climbed out and walked to her gate. I banged on the door and waited. Moonlight sighed because there was no answer . I knock again and as I did the door opened by itself.
"Hello." I shouted as I walked through the door. We spread out round the house looking to see if anyone was there, but no-one was here. Thats werid, I asked Scarlett to meet me but she had another hour yet. 'Ill call her' I thought. I got my phone out of my pocket and dialed her number and it rung. It went to voicemail.
"Hey it's me Maxxie. Call me when you get this." I said, I stuck my phone away. That's odd Scarlett always answers her phone.
We walked back to out to the car and got in. Moonlight started the engine.
"Where we going now?" Mika asked.
"Where do you think. Four Roses." I said
Moonlight began to drive down the highway.
"Dont you think that's odd." I said.
"What." Mika ans moonlight said together.
"Well, you know. Scarlett is always late for everything. She answers her phone all the time, but when I phoned her she didn't." I said.
"yeah i know." Moonlight repiled. We were almost near the pub, I sat there looking out the window. I was kind of worried for Scarlett, I didn't know where she was something wasnt right. We pulled up in front of the pub. Billy's car was already parked along with Heco's. I bet he was waiting for me at his normal table. I walked through the doors with my mates. Billy was sat at his table with the rest of our mates- but there was no Scarlett. Ashley walked up to me.
"I'm so sorry. " She said as she went to hug me but i stepped back.
"What are you talking about." I said with a confused look. I knew it was bad but I didn't know what it was.
"Maxxie it's Scarlett, I thought you knew." She said.
"Knew what. What the hells happen?" I demanded getting angry that i didnt know.
"Maxxie. Scarlett's been beaten up. Last night at her house. I went there this morning." She said.
"She might not make it." she added in a quite voice. My whole bdy went numb. I know me and Scarlett had fallen out, but we were cousins. My mouth went dry and my eyes bulid up with tears. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Billy get up and he was walking towards me. I turned to face him and as I did tears fell down my face.
"Come here." He said, he was now stood infront of me . I walked into his arms and he held me tight.
"It's ok Baby girl. She'll be fine." He said trying to make it seem okay.
"You... don't. know that." I said struggling to get the words out.
"Can you drive me to the hospital?" I asked looking up at his bright blue eyes.
"Yeah sure come on." He grabbed my hand and walked to the door.
"Oi Billy where you going?" I heard one of his mates shouting. He turned to them.
"Taking Maxxie to the hospital." He yelled at him. His friend nodded.
"Who was that?" I asked as we walked to the car and got in.
"What? You dont know" He looked surpised when I shook my head.
"Well you never told me." I said trying to explain myself, Billy started the engine.
"That was Baggy. Look i'll tell you all there names when we have came back from the hospital." He said.
"What if she doesn't make it Billy..I ...I just can't think who would - You didn't do it. Did ya?" I asked.
"Why would you fucking say that, you trust me dont ya?" He asked.
"Well... yeah sorry i shouln't have said that." I said to him, he touched my hand.
"It's ok. Dont worry about it. All that matters is Scarlett." He said. I think Billy had started to care about her and wanted to get along with her. Or try for me.
