The door opened and in strolled Fang, Nudge and Angel.
"Max!" Angel yelled and ran to me, expecting a hug. I just turned to Hil.
"So I wanted to see that new movie The Final Destination. By the way, have you seen Talladega Nights yet?" I asked her.
"I wanted to see TFD, too. And no, I haven't seen Talladega Nights yet. But I've seen Step Brothers. Very funny."
"Yeah, they're with the two same main characters. They're both real funny." I was purposely ignoring Angel and Nudge's 'ahem's'.
Finally, Angel screamed in my head. I held it with my hands and Hil and Kendall came rushing over. I just turned my attention to her.
"What?" I asked, my tone icy.
"Why do you hate me?" she asked, her eyes watering.
Who could stay mad at that face? I softened but still kept my face hard.
"I don't hate you. I just dislike you. And you're – what? – eleven now. Eleven-year-olds don't cry when someone doesn't like them. When someone didn't like me when I was eleven, I would deck 'em." Before I could keep going, Nudge entered.
"Yeah but you're Max. You should understand. Angel's been staking out in her room for the past five years. She hasn't come out until now. And the least you could do is be nice to her!" Nudge was on a rampage and nothing could stop her – except my new secret weapon.
I looked to Nai. We nodded at each other and she started her talking.
"Hi. I'm Naomi! Nudge, you and I are like, SOOOOOOO alike! Did you know when E told us that she saw you guys this morning – was it this morning? It seems like years ago – I thought you were Taylor Lautner! I wish. I yelled at her 'cause she didn't get his number for me and I was like 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!" and then she was like "Chill, I didn't see Taylor Lautner. I saw Nudge, Angel and Fang.' And we were all like jaw-droppy and then Hil took her back to Starbuck – against her will, of course – and then we followed and Ken-doll-" by this time, Nudge had stopped talking and I nodded at Kendall. He put his hand over her mouth but you could her still talking underneath it. He pressed it against her tighter. And then he screamed out in pain.
"She bit me!" he yelled. Hil, Aaron and I were suppressing our giggles while Kendall attempted to kill Nai.
"So that's Naomi. She's my little motormouth with the lungs that can hold for up to exactly a minute and twenty-three seconds," I said. Nudge looked forlorn.
"So where's Iggy and the Gasman, if I may be so bold to ask," I said.
"They moved in together somewhere where they can blow things up in peace," Fang said.
"That's great for them," I said.
Kendall snuck up behind me. "I am da bomb, so blow me up!" he yelled, making me jump a foot in the air.
"Damn it, Ken-doll," I said.
"Tick, tick BOOM!" he yelled. I just let it go for the time being.
I looked at the Flock's confused faces and explained. "I don't know why but every time someone mentions bombs, BOOM, blow or da he will say that. And then he just snuck up on me 'cause he's a freak," I smiled as I said so.
Kendall rolled his eyes and gave me a hug.
"But you know you love me," he said. I rolled my eyes and felt myself blush. Aaron stepped in from there.
"Hello. I'm Aaron Henderson, E's boyfriend. And you are?" Aaron asked, knowing full well who they were.
"I'm Angel, but you already knew that because Max told you about us. She even told you about the things on her back. Why, I will never know," Angel said. Fang gave me a hard glare but I ignored it. Instead, I noticed that Kendall was still latched on to me.
"Ken-doll get off," I told him.
"Then you better stop looking hot Malibu Barbie," he said. I would've been flattered if he hadn't mentioned Malibu Barbie.
"I told you! I've never lived in Malibu! And barbies weren't really my thing."
"That is not what evidence suggests," he said.
"What evidence?"
"The evidence of you cutting Nai's Barbie dolls hair," he laughed. I glared at him.
"That was you? I blamed my brother, Mikey for that! E!" Nai was mad.
"Oh excuse me! I thought they were yours, Ken-doll. I mean barbies…Ken dolls…It just made sense. And plus Hil told me that they were yours," I said in my defense.
"Oops. I forgot to add that he hadn't brought them to the Studio that day," Hil admitted.
"HIL!" I said.
"I'M SORRY!!!"
I kicked Kendall and he let go. I went over to Nai. She was about as tall as I was, if I was far down on my knees. She was a very short girl.
"I'm sorry that Kendall forced me to ruin your lifelong dream of owning barbies with nice haircuts. Go kill him, if you want. I give you permission to use your teeth," I laughed as she spread her teeth into a wide grin that showed just how pearly and white they were.
"Okay, E. How 'bout later? I think Ken still hurts from where I bit his hand," she said.
"Yeah, probably," I said, standing to my full height. We both laughed and then I handed the three remaining Flock members their tickets and backstage passes.
"Well, bye now," I said, hugging the two girls. I shook hands with Fang.
"I missed you, Max," he said.
"Yeah. I did. But I still don't fully trust you. You guys left me, remember? Even after all the stupid shit I said to you, you left." Before I broke down crying – like I always did – I left. Without saying goodbye. I could feel Fang's eyes on my back as I retreated outside. Once I was a block away, I started sprinting to my apartment. Once it was really deserted, I spread my wings. I hadn't stretched them in years but, then again, I haven't seen the Flock in years, either.
I flew all the way to my apartment and ran to my room. I cried on my bed and when my sobs died down, a voice said "So this is where you live."
I turned around to see Fang sitting at the edge of my bed, looking down at me.
Okay, Max time now. I like how the band acts together. They're like a big family. Except for Aaron who's a big butt face. (I really don't like him. Maybe I'll kill him off) ;D
