Let's live a little bit longer [SET IT OFF]

17

I had saved the shower generously, paired with my clothes to wash. Everyone says, you should save energy and I think you couldn't do better. So I should always do that now. Walking in the rain with a laundry basket and nature will do the work. You have to save somewhere.

"I wouldn't be surprised if we have fever, tomorrow." Cody grinned and stood in front of the bus.
"What do you think? Are they still awake?" It was quiet in the parking lot and even the bus was.
"The light is still on, so ... Probably." He opened the door and the smell of scrambled eggs came to meet me. We arrived in time! Food!

Immediately I went into the bus and saw that all had somehow squeezed in here. Okay not all. Clay drew his muse in the back, as Chloe and Merle talked about something. So only five were in this kitchen area, but we both came to it now and since all seats were already occupied, we were dripping in the hallway. Dan and Zach had taken the table while Jim and Moe were sitting on the sofabank, staring at the flat-screen TV. It was really all occupied, even the kitchen block, which was taken by Maxx.

"Was somewhere a pool party, or why are you guys so wet?" Maxx asked, already in pajama pants sitting on the kitchen block and holding a bowl of cereal in his hand.

"Robin must have had one of her 'brilliant' ideas again," Zach said monotonous, who didn't even consider the worthy ones to look up from his cellphone. If he is already on the phone, then he should better write my brother, otherwise I feel insulted.

"Why couldn't Cody have had a stupid idea, why always me?", I went over to Maxx and made our daily deal. He was my cornflake dealer, so I gave him cookies. That's how you pay on the street.

"Cody also has stupid ideas, but he's a diva," Dan explained, looking up from his laptop and catching an insulted: "Hey", from Cody,
"But you're ... our little nerd." When did the group of nerds become, just me? 

"Why do you all think I'm a diva?", He sighed and walked over to the sleeping benches and fetched two towels.

"I've known you since kindergarten, Carson. You are,was and always will be a diva." Came it from the laptop and I jumped up delighted, pushed Dan aside and sat next to him. Over both ears, June grinned at me and probably had dyed her hair again. Changing her hair color was something of an addiction to her. This time it was neon red to slightly orange. Is she shing in the dark?

"So, that was the reason, why I had to deal with these idiots and not with my favorite Vollpfosten?", She mischievously grinned at me through her blue-green eyes.
"I was the reason! You know I like to steal you, Robin." Cody scrambled into the picture laughing and covered my field of view with a towel. Sure, to make it even clearer that Ican say nothing to this conversation, even though I was the topic.

"Yeah, and I'll never understand your weird relationship.", I put the towel on my head and squeezed under Cody to see her too.
" What can you not understand? He's a hyperactive idiot and I'm just adorable. " At the same time, Dan and Cody punched me on the back of my head. Keep going and I'll get another cranial brain trauma.
"Adorable, of course... I'll get changed." my lock disappeared and I could sit back down to normal.

"Maxx, is he gone? Door closed?", Dan looked questioningly at Maxx, who held his thumb up for confirmation. Do I smell a conspiracy here? Is the band conspiring against the singer because he gets too much attention? Well possible, but what do I have to do with it?

"Okay, Robin, could you explain why he ran out of steam a couple of hours ago?", Zach looked at me questioningly and probably kept this conversation important enough to look up from his cell phone. Nice that I was probably interesting enough now.

"You guys, are his buddies. Why don't you ask him yourself?",
"We will, certainly. Just so you understand us ... It's not often that he is like this.", Maxx jumped down from the kitchen block and pushed Zach a bit to the side on the bench to take his own place.

"The last time he got so mad, Austin was to blame. You can imagine how he was?" June said and Dan pushed her back on the table, so she could see us all. Had already asked myself anyways, where he was.
"Wait ... What happened to Austin?",
"Can we stay with the current topic, please?" Dan groaned and I looked at him in confusion. I would like to know what happened to Austin? For Christ's sake, I didn't even know he was in the band! Do I really have to scour through the Internet to know anything? Is that really necessary?

"So, what happened?", Zach looked questioningly at me and I just sighed in despair.
"You know how he will react, when I tell you guys.". I'm so dead if he finds out.
"We will not tell him. We just want to know in advance what happened," Max sipped the individual pieces of cornflakes out of the milk.

"So it's clear: I'm just giving you a hint and that was it, okay? The rest you clear alone.", All four nodded to me. I just signed my death sentence right? No wonder I don't deal with people. They only cause trouble.

"Casandra is definitely history." everyone groaned, as they heard her name. Nice that I don't have to explain anymore.
"What did this bitch do this time?",
"June!" Maxx looked at her horrified and reap only an unnerved eye rolling.
"Now don't pretend that it's new to you that I used bad words." That's true. Do you know how often she calls me bakka or Pfosten? Sometimes I think my name is just Pfosten.

"And you know, I've never liked her before. She always disgusted me with her badly dyed hydrogen blond." Grunted the expert on tints and color. Sometimes it really surprises me that she didn't open a hair salon.

"What happened between the two?" The only one who was a little calmer in this situation was Dan. So he looked at me and supported his head with his fist.

"Well ... it seems he's not-", let's called luck or just coincidence, but just then the door opened and Cody stepped back into the room, this time with a Philadelphia Eagel's jersey. So I was out as a source of information, for the moment.

"Has the game already started, Moe?", He stood asking and we all tried to be as unobtrusive as we could. What can I say, praying groups doesn't actually fall into the category of unobtrusive, but at least we were quiet.
"Yeah.",
"Shit.", He went over and pushed Jim a bit to the side to sit down.

When the situation was safe again, we looked at each other silently.
"What do you think about a topic change?" Mischievously grinning, I looked at all who tried to silence me with their eyes. I prefer glances, rather than ending like Austin. Whatever happened to him. I probably have to google the shit.

"Your brother  called me to find out if you already have a plan on how to come to me.", said June
"Why doesn't he call me, if he wants to know something?",
"How many times have you lied to your brother, and then you still expect trust?", Dan pronounced the truth about the relationship with my brother.

"In my defense, we're both lying a lot, the only thing I need to know is that he's the father of Finn and that's enough."
"What a harmonious family," mocked Maxx.
 We were just siblings. As long as we save the other's ass, everything is fine.

"Do you have a plan?" Zach looked at me questioningly, whereupon I looked at the ceiling. Did I have a plan? Rather, Germany would have a plan where to go with the coming refugees. I didn't have such a plan, but let's be honest: When did I have a plan for this whole thing that worked?

"Some idiot will take me with the road."
"That jerk could be a rapist, too," Dan told me, and I realized again why June and he got along so well. When it came to me, they always agreed: Must be protected. Is too stupid to breathe alone or to exist. That's what I call trust.

"Even if my muscles have broken down in recent years, I think I'll still get that idiot on the mat." My father only had daughters besides one son, and  was pretty overprotecting his daughters for boys. That worked really good.
 Because he was tall guy and looked a bit scary, but he was more like a big teddy bear.
Typically north German.
So he taught us everything you needed for defense.

"Still, that doesn't sound very safe." Maxx yawned.
"Guys, give up. Robin, will not listen to you anyway. No matter what you say.".
Yup.
