"Can we talk?" Madison was tucked into a navy blue hoodie, with denim skinnies also tucked into her black Ugg boots.
"Oh, hey Madison! What's up?" I opened the door wider, and she stepped in. This got the attention of the flock; even the ones I thought were sleeping.
You see, we never really had visitors, sure we all had tons of friends, but we just never went the extra mile to invite them over.
"Alexa, who is that?" Fang's eyes peered intently at Madison. Oh no brother dearest, no dating the teachers. When I looked more closely though, he looked scared, and nervous. I tried to shrug it off.
"Come in Madison, we're just chillin," she let her hair down from the high pony tail and ran her fingers through it.
"Well, I don't want to interrupt anything; I just came by to talk to you Alexa," She stared intently into my eyes, her chocolate brown eyes into my light blue. I got that sense of familiarity again, only it was gut deep this time. I knew her, I just didn't know how. But, it couldn't be…
"No, you aren't interrupting anything Madison, just pop a squat," Nudge waved to her.
'Oh hey Madison! Waddup?" Gazzy had met her at the club.
"Oh hey guys! Monique, Matt," I led her into the living room, and everyone sat up.
"Err…it's nice to meet you…?" She looked to Fang and Iggy.
"Nathanial," Fang had that same look on again. What was his problem?
"Don't scare the guest Nate, I'm Emery, and I'm…" he began to make a joke that we all knew always made some one uncomfortable.
"Blind? Yeah, I noticed," everyone fell silent.
"How did you know?" Emery said disappointed.
"I just knew some one who was blind, a long time ago," she seemed pretty distant when she mentioned that someone.
"Well Alexa, I really need to talk to you, it was nice meeting you Nate and Emery, nice to see you two again too," she smiled at Monique and Matthew.
She seemed almost nervous as she pulled me into the kitchen, and she kept looking around.
"Listen, I know…." Nat walked in and grabbed some orange juice out of the fridge.
"Do you mind Fang?" I huffed.
"Yeah, I kind of do Angel, how well do you know Madison here?" He squinted his eyes.
"Oh for the love of…"
"Wait! Did you just call her Angel?" Madison said hysterically, "I thought your name was Alexa?" Oh shoot.
"It is, Angel is just a pet name," Nate stared coldly at her.
"But she called you…Fang?"
"It's another pet name, for him." I argued. I couldn't believe we slipped up. We had never slipped up.
"You guys, it's me…"
That's when I heard a huge crash, the sound of glass breaking, and Nudge scream for the second time that night.
