DISCLAIMER: I OWN THIS NOT
Chapter 2
Okay. I get it. Around here, kids aren't allowed out after a certain time, but jeez...you don't have to go and arrest a girl... The officer -who I learned was named Rhys- had brought me in, and told me to sit in one of the many chairs in there waiting room. I was surprised when I saw Jeb standing with two officers, seemingly in an argument. I'm almost positive I heard an "it was an accident" and "-my daughter's been difficult". Now if I were him I wouldn't be going around pointing fingers! The man fuckin' provoked me...Telling me lies about my mom... It was totally uncalled for!
"What's your name girl?" Another fat officer asked me asked me rudely. He looked pretty young, probably never dealt with anyone other than dealing with juvenile delinquents. I also noticed that his boobs where bigger than mine.
"Max Ride..." Okay so i had a different last name than my parents. It was okay with them and honestly I preferred it this way. I mean how good does "Max Batchelder" or "Maxine Martinez" sound? Not that great, right?
"Well Max Ride, you're going to have to tell me your parents names-" I interrupted him.
"My dads over there." I tell him while pointing to Jeb. At that moment Jeb caught sight of me.
"MAX!" Can he get any louder?
"...what?" I replied as I sent him a 'shut-the-fuck-up' look
"Officers, this is my daughter...I'm sorry for all the trouble she's caused-"
"The trouble I caused?" So maybe it was all my fault, but I wasn't about to admit it.
"I will make a phone call to my insurance, and then I'd like to head back home." He just seemed to brush my comment off.
"I'm sorry Mr. Batchelder, but it seems it's a bit more complicated then that." Officer Rhys tells him. How is it more complicated?
"How so?" ...I never should have came down from that dome...then again Mr. Officer man would have called for back up or whatever the hell the police do when they can't get teenage girls down from dome things.
"Well we need to know the the whole story. In detail. From both of you." The officers proceeded by taking me and Jeb to separate rooms where we were interrogated about the nights happenings.
Finally after what seemed to have been hours of sitting and explaining, the officers said that Jeb was allowed to call someone to pick us up. I didn't want to go anywhere with him. I told him this and he just laughed at me. That's all he ever does...
"That's fine Maxine" He had said. I had wanted to hit him right in the face so badly...
"Uncle Jeb?" I heard from the doors of the waiting room. I looked up and saw a kid about my age with strawberry blond hair and clear blue eyes. Was he one of my cousins? The kid spotted us and came over.
"So what happened?" He asked
"Your cousin likes to make a scene."
"Oh...I frown upon you." He says jokingly. Cracking a grin that I couldn't help but grin back at. He seemed pretty damn awesome already.
"I never would've thunk I'd end up meeting my long lost cousin in a jail." I say
"Well that makes two of us. Seriously what happened though?"
"This guy was bugging me."
"Yeah I know what you mean...what's up his butt, right?"
"James! Maxine! I can hear you guys."
"Your names James?" I said at the same time as He said "Your names Maxine?" And then we laughed. I could tell I was going to get along with him.
"Well lets go." Jeb said as he stomped off and out of the building. We quickly fallowed behind him.
"Wait where's your car?" 'James' asks.
"Oh it's totaled" I answer with a small smile, remembering the damage I caused. But then I remembered my reasoning behind it and Jeb's lies...
"Oh okay." He replied. I heard a grunt as I got into the passenger seat. Yeah that's right father, I get shoot gun! I looked back at Jeb who had the most annoyed look on his face. I grabbed my duffel and threw it back to him, making sure to hit him hard in the face in the process.
"Make room for my stuff." I tell him all nonchalant. I heard a satisfying "Ooof" and I grinned to myself.
"When we get to the house i'm going to have a serious talking with you. I asked you to behave."
"Aw c'mon uncle Jeb. That's no way to treat a guest."
"James! This doesn't concern you"
"Sure it does"
"Now James...you are not to tell your aunt about this."
"Quit calling me James!" He whined. Jeb let out a loud sigh.
"Iggy..." He said in a warning tone. Jeb is such a tight-ass...
"Shit, yeah I got it"
"James!"
"Alright sorry!" Iggy lets out in defeat fallowed by a long silence.
"You know it's not healthy to lie to your partner..."I let out
"Please...just." I could tell he was way to exasperated to actually speak in full sentences.
"Okay okay..."
After about 10 minutes we pulled up into a driveway of a good sized house. Not to big. Not to small. But what do you expect in the suburbs.
"Do I get to meet all my cousins now?"
"And your brother, yes." I wasn't this exited earlier. I'd never really had a family to love...
"Your step-mother has cooked diner for all of us. So you could properly meet the whole family."
"Oh." I wasn't used to this sort of thing. And I was probably the furthest thing form proper. I sucked in all my nerves and walked up to the door and rang the door bell with Jeb and Iggy on my tail.
It opened within 3 seconds revealing 3 cute kids.
"Hi Max"
AN: This was more of a filer, so sorry it's so short. I didn't really like where I ended it, but I wanted to have max meet the family in a totally separate chap. I think I know how the next chapter is going to be, but i'm open to any suggestions. They really helped me with this filer.
