My Hero[Discontinued]

Chapter 5

"I'm scared."

"What of, Maggie?"

Adam being pissed off with me or Max." 

"Why would he be?"

"Last year.."

"Oh, you remember!"

"Yeah... I think we should let Adam back in. He's been out there for a while."  

"Adam!" Alesa yells, loud enough to have him hear, but quiet enough so not everyone in the building hears her. 

-Time skip to a week and a half later-

"I'm finally out of that stupid hospital!"

"I know, Mag." Adam says, driving me to my apartment. "Just so I know you'll be safe, want to stay at my house for a few weeks?"

"Sure, Adam. I'm terrified anyway." We park and Adam comes up with me. 

"Just grab some clothes, I'll stay in the living room. And I would change outfits if we're meeting the guys."

"Oh, right! Okay, be back in a few." 

I throw on an outfit(the one below) and pack a ton of clothes in my suit case.

"A beanie, really?"

"Ey, I like them."

"Reminds me of someone I know.."

"Adam, that was last year and we're just friends. Please trust me."

"Fine.. Wait, you remember him, now?"

"Yeah... Alesa kinda... helped."

"How?"

"Pictures."

"Of course.... Alright, let's go." He grabs my suit case and brings it down to the car. 

"You know, I could've grabbed that." 

"I know, I'm just being nice. You just got out of the hospital an hour ago, and you're probably still hurting."

"Yeah, my ribs still hurt, but...." "Never mind, thank you, Adam."

He sets the suit case in the trunk and hugs me, avoiding my rib, and kisses my forehead(like a brother would). We get in the car and Adam drives us to his house to pick up Alesa and Mason, and drop off my stuff. Adam texts Alesa and I go up to the door and knock. At the first knock, Alesa opens the door. "Hey, Maggie."

"Hey I'm assuming Adam told you?"

"That you're staying over? Of course, come on in." I roll my suit case in as Alesa runs around the house, trying to get ready with Mason.

"Alesa? Want me to watch Mason while you get ready?"

"If you don't mind?"

"Sure, let me drop off my suit case."

"Okay, your room's the first door on the right, upstairs, but just leave the case at the bottom of the stairs. Adam doesn't want you hurting yourself dragging it up."

"Fine, mom..." We laugh and Alesa hands me Mason. After about ten minutes, Alesa's finally ready and grabs Mason from me and I pick up my phone from the couch. We walk out the door and see Adam and Max arguing. What in the Hell is Max doing here? "Adam, what's going on?"

They both turn towards me and Max steps back. "Nothing." He clenches his fist, glaring at Max.

"Adam, can I speak with you for a moment, please?" He walks towards me and we walk in the house. "What are you doing, Adam?"

"What do you mean, Mag?"

"Arguing with Max, what was all that about?"

"Nothing, Margaret. Please leave it alone. I want this to be a happy time where we go see the others."

"Fine, as long as you two don't throw punches, it's fine.... I guess." I look at the carpet. 

"Maggie, are you okay?"

"Other than you used my full first name, yeah, I'm fine."

"Shit, I'm so sorry. I'm just pissed off and upset." I hug him, tightly, ignoring my pain, and we walk out the door. "You two don't mind sitting in the back, on either side of Mason, do you?" He looks at Max and I.

"No, I don't mind." We say in unison. Ahh, the memories. I feel my cheeks getting hot. We get in the car and I start texting Alesa.

M-Maggie(you) A-Alesa

M- I don't know what to do.

A- What are you talking about?

M- I want to tell Max I like him, but I don't know how or when the best time is.

A- Oh. Sorry to be the least helpful person, but I can't exactly help. I don't know what's going through both of your minds, well, for the most part.

M- ?

A- I'll tell you later.

M- Fine.

-You both stop texting and put your phones down at the exact same time-

"You guys okay?" Adam asks. 

"Yeah." Alesa and I say in unison.

Damn, what is up with me and everyone saying things at the same time?  We finally get to the parking lot and walk inside. "I'll hide in the bathroom. Text me when they're here." I say as they get seated. I walk to the bathroom and hideout.
