Next chapter. Okay! Here we go! Yeah... Weeeeeeee...
I woke up, feeling terrible. Numb, but with a splitting headache. Everything was blurry, I quickly realized it was because I didn't have my glasses.
I groaned, suddenly my door burst open.
"YO! Rosie-poo, how ya doin buddy?!"
I shoved a pillow in my face and groaned again. Jokingly of course. "Nooooooooo... *cough*"
"Guess what I brought you buddy?!"
I don't like the sound of that at all...
I moved the pillow off my face. "W-what..?"
Ember held up her iPod, I saw an album cover I dreaded to see. Even without my glasses I easily recognized it.
"So i thought because I'm suspended and you're sick, we'd spend all day listening to Lollipop Luxury, while I tell you stories about unicorns and I won't let you play video games!"
If my throat wasn't on the verge of exploding I would have screamed bloody murder.
I rolled out of my bed and tumbled onto my floor, struggling to drag myself through the door, I attempted to flee. Ember grabbed my foot.
"NONONONONONO!" I screamed, or I tried to... It came out more as. "No...no...no..."
I dug my nails into the carpet, leaving a trail as my friend pulled me.
Oliver threw my apartment door open.
"Hello~ I brought cuppycakes for you Rosie~"
Ember released my foot. "NONONONONONONO!" She ran away from me, jumped over the couch and barricaded herself in the band room.
And, now I had a cupcake psychopath on my hands...
I tried to shuffle back into my room.
"Lookie~ I brought a red one just for you~"
Now that might sound harmless. But with Oliver you can be too sure. Was it a red velvet? Or BLOOD?!
"O-oh, thats n-nice of you, b-b-b-ut I plan on g-going back tosleepyakthanksbye!"
I closed the door before he could respond and leaned against it. I pulled out my phone and texted Ember.
We're cornered
I know! Wat do we do?
Idk! Maybe we should wait and see if Luciano and Alexander can bail us out.
Good god I hope they get here soon...
I turned my phone off and held my breath as Oliver walked by my door.
"Just one cupcake Rosie~"
I heard my apartment door fly open again.
"FOR FUCKS SAKE OLIVER!"
Oh thank god it's Alexander!... Finally someone somewhat normal...
As much as I loved my associates to bits, they're all very weird, not that I'm perfect in anyway, but at least I don't scare the crap out of people randomly! Or hit people in the head with bats, or threaten people with the mafia, OR BAKE CUPCAKES MADE OF BLOOD!
I'm surrounded by nutcases...
"Aw~ come on Alie~ I just wanted to give her a cuppy cake!"
"No! Nobody fucking knows what you put in those! And I'm not gonna let you give Rosie food poisoning again!"
"That was years ago!"
"Just look at all the fucks I give!"
I did get food poisoning from a cupcake! That was seven years ago... I can't believe he remembered that.
Ember sometimes forgets when it's Monday, and he remembers when i got food poisoning seven years ago... Quite the difference...
After a long argument over food poisoning and cupcakes, it seem'd like Alexander had won, judging by the dragging noise and the struggling I heard, Alexander had to pull Oliver out.
I pulled my phone out.
I think they're gone.
I'm not coming out till Luciano gets over here with a Tommy-gun!
Hey, how'd you get inside? I thought you guys locked the door last night.
1. I'm a wizard ninja, 2. Your window wasn't locked
But we're on the tenth floor...
And your point is...?
Nvm... I'm gonna get up.
Kay, I'll be campin' in hre.
Please, just type properly.
Plz jst typ prperly.
(¬_¬) whatever...
I had to squint to read that.
I turned my phone off and dragged myself to my dresser.
Rose patterned tank top, and grey sweatpants.
PERFECT!
I glanced at my desk... There was something new there, but I couldn't see it. Around that time, I noticed how... Flowery my room smelled.
I trudged out of my room. Squinting.
Have you seen my glasses?
No, you didn't have them yesterday.
Oh... Crap, I must have lost them when I fainted!
I almost missed the polite knock on my door. I half blindly walked over, and managed to find the door handle.
Alexander's blurry outline appeared before me. I rubbed my eyes, trying to help my head ache and sight.
"H-hi..."
He said nothing and simply placed something in my hands, he turned around.
"I'd love to stick around but I have a Limey psyco to take care of."
I quickly realized that these were my glasses.
I fumbled to put them on, and I called after him as he walked towards the stairs.
"T-thank you!"
"Don't mention it." He replied.
I went back in, and knocked on the band room door, "e-em? Alexander t-took him out..."
"Not until I got my tommy gun!"
I rolled my eyes and stretched.
I walked away from the room and over to my balcony.
Some fresh air will do me some good...
I looked down to the sidewalk below, people watching is pretty fun...
I smiled as I saw some couple walked down the road, holding hands and flowers, I thought it was cute. Until I got a better look at the couple. My smile dropped instantly.
I identified the girl as Marly, she's the only girl I know who would bother to dress that skanky, and still have her hair pinned up in a royal fashion. Not to mention i could hear her screaming about fried chicken from the balcony...
The boy, I very quickly realized was Alexander, I could tell by his jacket.
I slowly backed away from the terrace and back into my cozy home.
...he lied... Oh... Okay... I need some ice cream... Now...
I went into my room to grab my wallet, It should be at my desk.
I found the source of the flowery scent.
Six roses. Six beautiful roses, five red, one white.
I reached out to touch them, to see if they were real. The petals were soft, like velvet, and smooth like silk.
Ice cream...
I left the lovely flowers on the desk, they looked very nice there.
I knocked on the band room door.
"E-em? Wanna g-get some ice cream?"
I jumped away from the door as Ember threw it open, nearly flattening me with it.
"Fudge yeah let's go!"
...
...
... Okay. So she doesn't need a tommy-gun.
"Oh! Dudedudedudedudedudedude! I just had an awesome idea!"
"Hm? W-what would t-that be Em?"
"Get the instruments! We'll play for tips in the park!"
"Y-you just w-want some money t-to spend, don't you?"
"Dawww, you know me so well~"
I sighed and grabbed my bass. It's a pretty rose red color, custom made too! I had to save up a lot of money to get it.
Hard work gets people places!
We walked to the park in the center of our city and set up near a bench. It was about seven pm and couples were walking around.
"W-we'll have a big crowd t-tonight!"
"You sure you can sing with your throat all weird from being sick?" Ember asked, a very rare moment when she's actually concerned.
I nodded. "Y-yeah, I'll be okay."
Ember nodded back and started playing a melody, I set my bass down on the bench and a stood up straight.
I cleared my throat.
"Draw a circle, that's the earth
Draw a circle, that's the earth
Draw a circle, that's the earth
I am hetalia~
Draw a circle, that's the earth
Look more closely, that's the earth
Might that be the earth
I am hetalia~"
I turned to Ember, "See, I-I'm fine, so, scene five?"
Ember nodded, smirking a little, we had already drawn a small crowd.
Ember began strumming the acoustic tune to a sleeping with sirens song.
With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear...
"Ladies and gentleman, if you were a movie, this would be scene five to your soundtrack~" Ember told the audience.
"True friends lie underneath
these witty words I don't believe
I can't believe a damn thing they say, anymore
Lie! Liar you'll pay for your sins
Lie! Lair you'll pay for your sins"
I continued through the whole song.
People were tossing dollars and coins into Embers guitar case, which was opened before us.
Its amazing how I can actually formulate a sentence when I'm singing...
