Heyo I'm back from camp. I had a lot of fun but I missed writing for yall. I know this is overdue but here ya go!
Gazzy POV
"You're moving?!" I whispered loudly.
Oh! Hey there. I wasn't expecting you to hear that. Incase you have forgotten who I am I'm Gazzy. I'm older than Max but younger than Iggy. I like to build bombs with my brother and I'm known for my explosive gas. Yeah. It's a gift.
Anyway back to reality. Iggy has just gotten home from the hospital and he went to go take a nap. I went to the bathroom and Max made her way downstairs where she saw her best friend Ella. Like all stereotypical girls in the 21st century, they fought, cried, then made up. You're probably thinking Gazzy, how do you know this? Well my dear friend, I was spying on them the whole time. Max is my baby sister and she won't get hurt under my watch. As soon as I heard Ella and her suspicious assumptions, I had to take charge. I walked into the kitchen and sat down. That shut Ella up. Then Iggy, being the stupid boy he is, tried getting down the stairs by himself. Max led him to the kitchen and sat him down. I then zoned out for a couple minutes and once I saw the PDA between Iggy and Ella I was thought nope and hurried upstairs.
Now I'm on the phone with our good friend Fang who just called to tell me that he's moving! I just heard Max scream "You're moving?!" too. I hope it's not because Nudge or Angel is giving her the same phone call.
"What do you mean you're moving?" I asked Fang.
His answer was muffled but I clearly understood it. "I mean we leave after Christmas break."
"But y'all just moved here!" I exclaimed. They couldn't leave! I felt like they were the only ones who understood us Ride's.
"I don't have a choice. When Dad says we're going to do something that means it's going to happen."
I was silent for a moment. They just couldn't leave.
"Hey Gazzy I gotta go. Can you please not tell anyone yet? I just needed to get this off of my chest and I trust you. Bye."
I was still sitting there in shock for another 5 minutes. I turned my phone into sleep mode and sat there. My mind was racing and wasn't going to stop anytime soon.
What the hell?! How is Max going to take this? She'll be devastated. I saw the connection between her and Fang. They clearly like each other. The signs are everywhere. The "meet up" at the local burger place last weekend, him driving her to the hospital, and when we played hide and seek and she was all over him.
Wait.
What am I doing?
Here I am sitting in my dark bedroom thinking about my younger sisters love life when one of my best friends is moving in two months!
I have to do something to stop this I thought.
I grabbed a white sheet of paper and pushed everything off of my desk like they do in the movies. I slammed the paper down and started sketching my plans. It was perfect. I looked at the paper and read: Step 1: Talk.
I folded the paper 3 times and shoved it into my back pocket. I then rushed downstairs and crashed into Max almost knocking her down. One look at her face and I knew she knew they were moving.
I have to act clueless I thought.
I muttered a "Sorry" and ran outside. Being the athlete I am I sprinted to the Walker household which was just around the block. When I arrived I stood in the front yard and observed their house for a while. I noticed that Nudge and Fang's car was gone and the light was on in Mr. Walker's office. There was a patch of dead grass under the big oak tree and flower pots lined the front porch. The rocking chair swayed slightly due to the wind and the pine trees were dropping pine needles.
I walked up there driveway and rang the doorbell. I listened as the bells filled the house. I heard a handle turn and watched as the white door opened and standing at it was Mr. Walker.
"The kids aren't here Gazzy." He said and started to shut the door.
With my ninja reflexes I set my foot in between the door and the wall to prevent it from closing.
"Actually sir, I was here to talk to you."
He looked me up and down as if he were trying to find something wrong with me. I had on light brown khakis and a black button down from school yesterday. Shit. I never changed my clothes. I probably smell bad too I thought.
"About what?" He asked with a questioning look.
"Rumors." I replied, "About your family."
"My office." He said and walked off.
I entered the Walker household and shut the door behind me.
I slipped my muddy Nike shoes off at the front door. The Walkers had a strict no shoes in the house rule. I learned that the hard way. Let's just say having Mr. Walker scream in your face for half an hour and being kicked out of the house isn't how you want to spend your Saturday.
I followed Mr. Walker through the oddly super clean house. Being careful not to break anything, I entered his office.
"Have a seat."
I took a seat.
"Now Gazzy, may I ask what kind of rumors you've been hearing?" He asked also taking a seat.
"Terrible ones. So terrible that it doesn't seem true." I answered crossing my arms over my chest.
"What about the terrible rumors and my family should I know about?" He said with an eyebrow raise.
"According to people at school, y'all are moving."
His jaw clenched and he made a fist.
"And according to those people it's because y'all have a secret you refuse to tell." I said, baiting him into admitting the real reason they were moving.
"Who the hell told you?" He demanded with his anger rising.
If it was a normal day I would've backed up and gotten my ass out of there. But today was no ordinary day. I felt more confident in myself.
"Doesn't matter. What matters is my friends are moving again. I did the liberty in searching up where y'all have lived and for how long."
"You didn't." He threatened.
"Oh I did." I told him even though I actually didn't. I read a while back when you want to blackmail someone you have to pretend that you actually know what you're doing. So I'm pretending I know all of the Walker family secrets.
"Get out." He said pointing towards the door.
"I know y'all moved because someone kept finding out your secret. What are y'all? Vampires? Zombies? Werewolves? Hmm?" I said mockingly. "Animal and people hybrids? Bigfoot? Murders? Thieves?"
Mr. Walker sat there staring at a pile of papers in the corner of the room.
"Get the hell out of my house!" He screamed.
"There it is! More proof that y'all don't belong. You say house when this town with these people should be your home. There is a difference ya know."
"Get out!" He bellowed.
"Nice talking with you." I told him as I made my way towards the door.
I walked to the front door and slipped my muddy shoes on. Then I stomped around the house a bit. I hurried outside before I was caught and sprinted back to my street.
Well I didn't prove anything I thought. I just got him angry again.
I sighed and took my time walking home.
Why am I such a loser? I have no life and barely any friends. You may be thinking that I one of the most popular guys in the school so I must have tons of friends right? Wrong. Those people just like me for my looks or the fact that I am good at sports. Max actually has true friends. Iggy has Ella. I have nothing. Max can fly super fast and Iggy is an amazing cook. I just do impressions that people at school think are ridiculous. I just want to make a difference in the world. I want to feel special and have people remember me.
I walked into the house and the first thing I saw was Iggy still making out with Ella.
"Get a room." I growled.
They didn't look up as I stomped upstairs. As I flopped down onto my bed my phone rang. I reached over and saw it was Fang.
I picked up the phone and said, "Hello?".
"What the hell man?" He asked. "What did you do to my dad?"
I didn't want to deal with anyone with the last name Walker right now. I decided to give Fang a bit of his own medicine. One to three sentence answers.
"Nothing."
"Well obviously you did something! He locked himself in his office and refuses to talk."
"Why do you assume it's me?"
"Because you're the only one I told that we were moving."
"So?"
"The Gazzy I know wouldn't just sit there and do nothing. He would try to make a difference."
"What if it was me? Are you going to stop being my friend? You're leaving anyway."
"No. I just want to tell you to let me handle it."
I didn't say anything.
"I'll try to convince him to get us to stay but it might take a while. If I need your help I'll tell you." Fang continued.
"Okay."
"And by the way Gazzy, thanks for making our living room all muddy."
"No problem." I told him.
"Before you hang up I have one more thing to say."
"Yes?"
"Thanks Gazzy." Fang said. I hung up and flopped back onto my bed.
Dear God what did I just do? I probably won't be welcome to the Walker household for a while. I pulled the paper out of my back pocket and unfolded it into its original rectangle shape.
Step 2:, the paper read, Search. By search it means to search for answers and clues to why they could be moving. Search for ways to stop the move.
I know Fang told me to stay out of it but if Fang truly new who and what I am he would know that I am incapable of staying out of things I'm already apart of.
Hope yall liked that. Can we please get at least 5 reviews for this chapter? It would mean the world to me!
