Disclaimer: I don't own MR...yet hahaha
I woke up the next morning with my eyes feeling puffy and Iggy nowhere to be seen. (No pun intended) I walked out of his room it was already 7:45 oh well good time to start the day. I knocked on the door to the bathroom no answer. I looked all around the house and couldn't find him. Finally I got tired and stood in the middle of the living room and yelled at the top of my lungs.
"MARCO!"
"Polo" I hear faintly
"The basement always the basement why does he even go down there." I talk to myself as I head towards Iggy.
"Hey Max what's this?"
"Old stuff from the house some papers maybe a spider or two."
"Max there better not be spiders!"
"There's not why are you down here anyway?" I asked sitting near him on the ground.
"Don't know I just wandered down there hey is this our last family picture." He handed me a tarnished picture frame with the last picture we ever took as a family. Literally because everything happened 2 weeks after the picture was taken.
"Yeah it's the one." I say after a while.
"Describe it to me please Max." He somehow looked at me with his sad eyes.
"Why Iggy I always describe it. Why keep going back to the past it's worthless."
He suddenly became angry just like our dad used to. "Maximum Maya Ride don't you ever speak like that this is your family not all our childhood was crap and they loved us if you ever talk like that about mom and dad I'll never talk to you again."
"We didn't know what was happening half the time so technically it was all crap Igs."
"Look fine you could have just said no!" He snatched the picture out of my hand and stomped out of the basement.
I got up and ran after him. "Iggy wait come Igs please today was supposed to be the day we hang out!"
"I don't want to forget them Max I love them and I...I...I just miss them to much and yesterday when you came in crying it hurt to think that's all you remember about them. I want you to remember good things about them okay when we were happy." He said on the verg of tears.
"I remember good things Iggy I remember you drawing me when you could still see. I remember mom making pancakes for us every Saturday. I remember dad picking me up and carrying me home from school when I got sick." I smiled at him. " Igs I remember a lot about them I know they loved us just we were really dis functional."
He was silent for a while then he hugged me. "I'm glad you remember all those things."
"Yeah yeah mushy gushy blah blah blah lets have fun. Please" I said since I hate all this sob fest stuff. (You out there better not be crying...jk cry your eyes out)
We spent the rest of the day causing trouble around town. Beating our old record by sneaking into 6 movies at the movie theater before the manager realized what was going on.
After that we got some food at this amazing dinner. We eat more than a sumo wrestler and hungry panda AND an elephant combined. Then ask for dessert 5minutes later but that's us.(don't try it at home you'll puke you guts out)
"So what's next Max."
"Where do u wanna go it's your turn."
"Let's see...not a word Max... Okay let's go to to to to to... Starbucks!"
I was so shocked that the car swerved along the road. "What?! You hate Starbucks why do you wanna go there?"
"I met this girl Ella I want you to meet her tell me what you think okay?"
"Fine but your buying me a coffee cuz your girlfriend might give it to you free."
"She's not my girlfriend ...yet."
"Haha fine so tell me what's she like? How'd you meet her?"
"She's nice and kinda loud I met her when the day I broke up with Amber."
"Wait that's why you broke up with Amber! Igs your a douche!"
"No it's not like that! Just I wanted to break up with her for a long time! Plus she dumped coffee on me!"
"Fine let me go in first 5 minutes after you go in got it?"
"Yeah yeah okay just drive."
When we got to the Starbucks were Ella worked God kill me. As much as I hated the snobs that work and buy coffee there you gotta admit that the coffee is to dye for. (Tell anyone I said that and you'll be buying me the stuff everyday for the rest of your life.) Okay so I walked in there she was I could tell it was her because she was the only one wearing black besides me. She looked like Iggy's type of girl so I walked up to her.
"Excuse me but are you Ella?"
"Yes that's me how can I help you."
"Oh um well a friend of mine says you make a amazing frappé can I get one please?" I said quickly making up a story.
"Oh sure ok one frappé will that be carmel or chocolate?"
"Can it be both?"
"Yeah sure" she said with a nice smile. "That's just how I like mine."
"No way!" I said a little to loudly people turned to stare
"Got a problem? Get back to your coffe people!" She yelled at them and everyone quickly turned around. "You look like this guy how comes in every now and then he's cute."
"Let me guess tall strawberry blonde hair blind but doesn't act like it?"
"Yes! Do you know him? Is he faking the whole blind thing?"
"He's my brother and yeah he's blind as can be."
"Cool! Is is he with you?"
"Yeah he's here with me he'll be in in about 3 minutes?"
"Ok I'll have your coffe out by then!" She hugged me and sprinted away. I sat at the table in the back and sure enough Iggy came in 3 minutes later. I tapped the table loud enough for him to hear and he make his way over.
"So did you meet her?" That first thing he asked before he sat down.
"Yeah she seems nice and tough haha basically your dating an older version of me."
"Ewwww oh God Max how dare you give me that mental image."
"Hey it was just a thought geez don't throw a bitch fit."
"I can and I will-"
"Awwww I thought I'd have it done before he came in."
"H-h-hey Ella" Iggy said sounding like a love sick goof.
"Hey Iggy here are the frappés for you and Max." She set both of the cold beverages on the table. I started to sip mine. "Omg this tastes amazing!" "Yeah it's great!" Iggy said as he sipped his also
Ella blushed deeply "awww thanks you guys glad you like them."
"Like it I love it I could drink this everyday for the rest of my life!" Me and Iggy said in a creepy twin like way.
"Sure thing! Hey can I join you guys my shift is over?"
"Yeah of course" Iggy said said with too much excitement.
"Max what time is it?"
"Um 8:00 why?"
"Holy shit Ari is gonna be at the house soon we gotta go now!"
"But Ella she's gonna hang with us."
"What about me?" Ella says from behind us Iggy waltzed toward her and stood a inch away from her face. Poor her she didn't know whether to slap him or just stand there. *sigh* the perks of being a blind guy.
"Look Ella I'm super sorry we have to go but before we do...do you want to go out with me?"
"Um uh uh uh yeah." She said in disbelief and happiness
"Thanks" then he did the unexpected he kissed her! Like a full on get her to the bedroom kiss.(disgusting I know...what why are you awwing dam what are you guys into these days?)
We ran out and drove like a bat out of hell to get home I even left my coffee behind! Oh he may be blind but he's getting his ass kicked later (hahaha jk...maybe)
IGGY'S POV
We got home just in time I could tell Ari was there because I could smell cigarette smoke and cologne? Must have been Dylan haha I could tell that kid was gonna be in a work of pain. Hope you weren't counting on any kids Dylan.
"Hey Iggy nice to see you and Max how you been?" Ari greeted us as soon as we came out of the car.
"Hey Ari been good hey Dylan you look nice." Max replied sweetly. What's this girl up to?
"H-h-hey Max you look hot. I mean you look really pretty. Not that you don't look hot because you do look hot. Um uh uh uh I'll shut up now." Dylan blabbered on about Max (note to self scare Dylan shitless when u get back.)
"Um thanks Dylan...Iggy he sounds like you around Ella." Max laughed.
"Who's Ella?" Ari said surprised I was interested in another girl.
"No one uh hey let's go inside and hang out before we gotta go."
TIME LAPSE
After 2 hours and Dylan getting kicked in the nuts about 13 times it was time for us to get a move on.
"Bye Igs be careful okay don't get into to much trouble alright I love you big bro." Max said as we hugged each other tight outside of the house.
"I promise and I'll bring you back something like I always do alright bye little sis I love you." I said. I know it sounds like a goodbye forever thing but in my line of business you never know if you'll come back or end up in a ditch never to be seen again.
Ari and I got in the car and drove off. Something was wrong tho we usually joked nonstop on these car rides, but this time it was different there's was a strange silence even as we drove out of the city. I decided to try and make conversation.
"So what am I transporting this time Ari?"
"Some high paying scientist are looking for a new lab rat."
"Lab rat? Hahaha didn't know we were a pet store now nice nice at least we get paid. So how much are they paying for one little rat?"
"Well it's not exactly a rat in fact it's a person." Ari said slowly.
"What?! A person Ari you've gone to far! Where are they in the trunk? What's wrong with you Ari! Turn back now!" I yelled.
"Iggy the new lab rat is you. I'm so sorry alright I'll make sure Max is taken care of. I'll give her money and a job and make sure she goes to school,"
"You're crazy you son of a bitch! Let me out of this dam car!" As I reached for the door handle my head was smashed again the window. I began to lose consciousness.
"I'm sorry little sister I'll find my way back to you somehow."
When I woke up all I could smell was chemicals and rubbing alcohol. I began to thrash around some needles came loose from my arm I could feel the blood running down my limbs. Someone walked in writing on a clipboard I think.
"Nice to see your awake I'll have someone clean you up in a second then we can begin to run some tests." The stranger said with such calmness.
"Ha you're crazy if you think I'll do anything you say." I spat at him.
"Your just like my son...Maybe that's why when I saw how you beat him up I knew you would be perfect for my next test subject."
"Wait son?...Jeb?!...Jeb Martinez?!."
"Yes yours truly now I will return shortly to begin testing." He said with a small laugh.
"I'll kill you for this you fucken asshole you hear me I'll kill you and your dam son I'll kill everyone you love!"
