Dead by the Hour

Chapter 2

Madison's P.O.V.

After arguing on what kind of pizza to get we finally agreed on what kind.

"Hey, guys. The pizza is here!" exclaimed Alanna.

"Yas!" I yelled. I went to grab the money to give to the delivery man and realized it wasn't there.

"Okay who took the money? I mean come one we don't get pizza till we pay for it. You guys do know that right?" I asked starting to get really annoyed.

"Dangit! I was hoping you would flip the frick out," yelled Avery disappointed that she didn't get the reaction out of me she wanted.

"Yeah well be happy I didn't. Okay now give me the money." I replied over this conversation.

"And if I don't then will you flip out?"Asked Avery trying to set me off and to be honest it was starting to work.

"Please give her the money Avery. I'm hungry and would like to eat some pizza." Jordyn stated calmly trying not to make the situation worse instead of better.

"Listen to your sister, please Avery." Latrell tried to reason with her.

"Yeah, okay fine. I am kinda hungry too." Avery said finally giving in to our friend's requests.

"Thank you," I replied as sarcastic as ever.

After finally paying for the pizza. We sat down and decided to find a movie to watch together. In the middle of looking for a movie, Madi face timed us.

'Hey what up?' Madi questioned over the phone call.

"You know nothing much. Just celebrating after successfully raping up our last case. When do you think you gonna be back? We miss you." I responded.

'Soon I hope. I miss you guys too.' Madi answered.

"How is London?" Avery questioned.

'It's good. Guess who I found?' Madi replied.

"Who?" we all inquired together.

'Hey!' Cadence responded as the answer. Cadence. She went on a trip to Europe vacation about two months ago. Nobody heard from her after she left and if we're being completely honest we all kind of assumed she was dead.

"Is that Cadence?" Latrell asked.

"I thought you were dead," Alanna interjected.

"Sameeeee!" I shouted.

"Okay, you don't have to yell, "Alanna remarked.

"She always yells. You can't get it to stop." Avery fired back.

" True." agreed Alanna.

'Okay, we are going to stop arguing and talk about the fact that Cadence is coming home with me.' Madi replied officially defusing the situation and starting a new topic.

"Wait really. Yes, I can't wait to see you after two months off nothingness." I replied emphasizing the two months.

'I'm sorry guys. I was just enjoying my time here. It's not like any of you tried to reach out either' Cadence retorted back with a fiery attitude.

Looks like those two months away really assisted in developing more of an attitude, I thought.

'Where are your parents?' Madi questioned. I don't know how she knew they weren't there.

"They're here. Why?" I replied making it a little more obvious that I was lying then I would have liked.

'Come on. Don't even try to play this off. It's obvious they're not there. Look at the place. Trash every where, not to mention you're not wearing a shirt.' Cadence retorted accusingly.

"Hey it was hot in here. Besides this is not the first time ya'll have seen me shirtless. And as for my parents they are out of town." I responded back slightly hurt by her tone of voice.

'Your parents left you home alone?' Cadence grilled me.

She just really couldn't get over the fact that my parents left me unattended. If we we're being truthful I found it kind of rude she found it that hard to believe, but I wasn't about to get in a fight over it so I simply said, "I'm sixteen dude. We all are and not to mention they are all staying with me. So no I am not alone."

"It's true. We are all staying here." Avery said coming to my defence.

"Do you know when you are coming back?" Latrell asked.

'Yeah we should be back in a few days, so maybe on Thursday.' Madi responded.

"A few days. I think you mean more like a week. Today is Saturday. That's five days till you come back."Avery threw back with attitude.

"That is a long time to wait." Jordyn joined in the conversation.

We continued to talk for hours. We talked about nothing and everything. Just enjoying the fact that we finally managed to call at the right time for both receivers. Completely disregarding the movie we were going to watch.

"Well we really should be getting to bed. It's getting late and we have plans tomorrow." Alanna said.

'Okay byeeee! See you guys later.' Cadence exclaimed.

"Bye! See you later." we all yelled back together.
