Maximum Ride: Around The World.
This is like a vacation. I thought as I sat on a bench in this place called Kensington Square.
I knew you'd go off track. The voice replied. I rolled my eyes.
We deserve it, if it makes you feel better, we'll head off tomorrow.
...Fine.
Thank you Max!
No reply. I chuckled and looked into the night sky. There was lots of hobo's wondering around, very aggressive ones, I had to break up a fight between Fang and one. Yeah, Fang really lost his rag when the hobo took Fang's bag. Who knew a bag could be so precious.
...Great, now I'm picturing that dude from Lord of The Rings...What was his name? Gollum...My Precious. I shuddered and suppressed a laugh.
The kids had fallen asleep in the hotel, I went for a walk just out side, seriously, I'm right outside. Fang was snoring his damn nose off, I never knew he snored. I shivered as a sudden wind went past. Jeez I thought it was summer. Does it ever get warm in England?
Yes. In the day time. It gets very bittersweet.
Bittersweet?
Its very hot and windy, or the sun is shining and its very windy and cold.
Uh...Oh.
I looked as a load of drunk people wondered by, yelling their mouths of like delinquents.
"Wwaaayyy!!!" One girl yelled out falling every where, the man next to her, attempting to hold her up, was just the same.
"Babe, I think I'm goin' to throw up." Another girl whined. I chuckled.
"Get off me." The man shoved her off. I frowned, ugh, do men not have respect for women.
"Bastard." She mumbled to him and then retched all over the sidewalk. Niicee, and then she passed out next to her vomit. I was expecting her friends to pick her up. But they carried on walking and yelling.
Woohoo! I get to play hero!!
I huffed and stood up, I walked over and dug into my pocket for a packet of Kleenex, I wiped her face and then shook her. "Yo." I said. Her eyes opened and she groaned.
"Oh my God. I'm going to be sick." And then she was sick on the vomit. I faced away and shuddered.
"Uh...You need to get cleaned up. Follow me." I muttered holding her arm.
"Where'd Sara and Ben go." She asked standing up and taking her heels off.
"They left ya." I said leading her into the hotel, I pulled my wings in tight, I know she's wasted but, wasted people still see things.
"How old are you?" She asked me as I lead her up the stairs.
"Um...Fourteen." I answered going to the door. "You need to be quiet, my friend's a light sleeper." I whispered, she giggled and nodded. Great. I know what a drunken person means when they giggle.
I'm not going to shut up is what they mean.
She tripped and dumped her shoes by the door, I shut it and lead her to the bathroom. "Shower or whatever. Towel's are on the side." I said, she giggled again and hiccupped then made her way in.
I sighed.
Distractions.
You're annoying. I replied in the same singsong voice.
You're very sarcastic Maximum.
But it rocks. I replied in a cocky tone.
No reply. Hah again.
In the next ten minutes, the woman came out in her clothes and her hair wrapped in a towel.
"I feel a little sober." She mumbled. She'd wiped her make up off too. "Who are you." She asked me.
" Max." I replied.
" Janice." She said. I smiled and then she let her brown hair out and yawned.
"I'll get a taxi and then...Go back to my flat." She said. "Thanks-" She was cut off by Fang who sat up and turned the light on.
Jeez! Won't he put a shirt on for a change! I mean...C'mon he's my brother...Ish.
" Max." He said. Janice gaped.
"You said you were fourteen." She said. I gaped back.
"No! Its not like that! He's my friend. Friend." I repeated, telling myself too.
"Oh right, good." And then she started to laugh.
" Janice, friend, friend Janice. Bye Janice." She waved 'bye' and walked out.
Thats the last time I play hero.
Though it is fun. "Fang." I warned. He rubbed his eyes looking like a little boy and lay back down.
Back to the out sideness.
I should stop adding ness on the end of words.
So no Erasers, no whack job scientists, life is easy...For now, we will fly back tomorrow. Now we know what direction to go in. After another hour, I walked back into the hotel and back up to the room. When I got in Fang was slipping on a pair of jeans.
"Who was that?" He asked as I shut the door.
"Uhm...Poor drunk girl in need of saving." I answered getting the boxers out of the bag and Fang's old shirt, meh, he won't mind, I walked into the bathroom and changed leaving my hair in its style.
"She would-" I cut him off sitting on the bed.
"She would've been raped or whatever Fang...C'mon, at least let me help people in need of it." I said. Fang huffed and slipped his shirt on then looked at me.
"Thats my shirt." he said. Damnit.
"Yeah so?" I asked nonchalantly.
"You're wearing it." He went on.
"Oooh, someone's being a little obvious." I smirked. He laughed sarcastically. "I have nothing else to sleep in. Unless you want to see me in a black lace bra again."
Shit! I didn't think before I said that. Silence was now in the room. And I'll add, 'Awkward Silence' one of the worst silences to be in with Fang. Worst I tell you.
I wonder whats going through his mind...He's staring into space at the floor, his hands still on the hem of his shirt.
Picturing you in a bra and boxers.
"Night Fang." I said trying to hide my major blush and lay down.
I heard the door close and released my breath.
Excuse while I repeat swearwords.
