Check Yes,Juliet (5SOS Fanfiction)

Chapter 5

Within the next two hours,we were all piled in Lukes car and quietly pulling up outside our apartment,head lights off,and radio turned to static;for effect,acording to Ashton.

"If anything happens,call us."Ashton said in a dark,over-dramatic tone,"The fate of the tour rests on your shoulders.Agent pink,and Agent blue,we are counting on you too pull the requieted items out of the clutches of--"

"This is serious,Ash!"Michael cut him off with a smack to the back of the head.You could practically hear the record needle scratch on his personal backgronud music in his head,"We're not playing cops and robbers,here!"

"It was actually Ninjas and Masterminds,but I'll give it to you."

I sighed,resting my hand on the car door,with Amitys hand on my shoulder.This was it.Show time.

I yanked the door back quietly and set my converse on the pavement,not making so much as a squeek. Amity was next;her combat boots light behind me,and together,we walked to the fire escape,hand-in-hand. We stood there for a moment,looking up at the dark metal spiraling up to my window,lightly aglow from my night light we had left on before we left the first time,two hours ago.

One-by-one we climbed up,trying our hardest to minimise the clanks of the metal and creaking of the bolts,ducking here and there to keep our heads from getting brused until we reached my window and slowly raised the glass again.

Amity was first to crawl through,leaving me to turn around and give one more look at the car parked below before I followed my sister.

By the time I was fully in the room,she was already at the door,turning the knob and tip toing across the hall to her room,turning the knob there as well.

I sighed,worrying for her,but I crossed the room and closed my door behind her before going over to my closet and pulling out my neon pink duffle bag from the top shelf.Not exactly discreat,but it was something. I set it on my bed and proceeded to pull random articles of clothing down from their racks and tossing them into the bag with no perticular neatness or order. Once packed for about a week with clothes,I moved on to stuffing my make-up case into the bottom of it,then my teddy bear,then only two pairs of shoes.

After five mintues of doing so,I thought we were practically home free.Amity was probably about as close to done as I was,and we would be back to the car before even a mouse knew we had stepped foot on the property.

That was,before I heard a high-pitched scream from the room over.

My head snapped to the door and my eyes went wide.I ran over,flinging my door wide open and practically busting Amitys door open.

I found her standing there,clutching her chest,a picture frame shattered at her feet,glass scattered around the floor in various places.

"Amity!"I yelled in a hushed tone,my hands balling into fists at my sides.

"I didn't--I didn't mean to!"She dropped to her knees,glass imbedding its self into her jeans.After a closer look,I realized the picture was off our dad holding us both on his lap on our 7th birthday. The last picture we had of him before he got sick. No wonder she had screamed when it shattered...

I could hear the springs screetch in a bed in the room over;she was waking up.

"Amity...Amity we have to go.."

She picked the picture frame up off the florr gingerly before standing up,glass still clinging to her legs.As if almost in a trance,she moved over to her bed where her duffle was and layed the picture atop her poka-dotted blanket she had laying over the rest of her things.

"Is someone out there?"I could hear my mums sleep-ridden voice come through her closed door.

"Amity..Amity now!"

Her eyes suddenly went wide in realization as she zipped up her duffel and swung the strap over her shoulder. We shot across the hall and into my room,slamming the door behind me.I leaned against it,locking it quickly once I heard her door open.

"Juliet?Amity?Is that you;why you up at this hour?"I shut my eyes tight,not wanting to move an inch,"Why is there glass on the floor?Girls!" She banged her fist on the door,hard enough to make it move.

Amity grabbed my duffle and tossed it over her other shoulder and ran them over to the window,setting them both on the metal fire escape below.

I could hear the lock turn,and her key clank against the knob. Curse her for having a key to every fucking door in the apartment.

"Juliet!"Amity yelled from the window.

"I cant!"I cried,"She'll get in!"

"She's not a dragon,just run!" I stayed where I stood for a moment, before pushing myself off the wood and ran to my sisters arms and pushed the window open wider.

"Girls!"Mum screamed,opening the door,"What do you think you're doing?"

"Getting the fuck out of here,"Amity said sharply,helping me through the window."We'll keep in touch."

You could practically see the smoke pouring out of her ears as Amity crawled through the window behind me and slaming the glass pane down so hard,a tiny crack ran through it.

Mum ran to it,fumbling to lift the glass,but by the time she even had it half of the way open,the two of us were already half way down the escape.

Amity waved at the boys to start the engine and we watched as the car came to life as we reached the bottom of the stairs.

Amity was first in the car,me right behind her,our bags taken by Calum and tossed in the floor board.

"Oh shit,"Amity said,looking down at her knees,where a small blood stain was already forming.

"What happened?!"Luke yelled,looking at her in the rear-veiw mirror as he pulled away from the apartment complex.

"I'm fine,just got a little glass in my knee."

"Yeah,we got out with no broken bones but with a psychotic mother on our tails,"I said in an overly-cheerful way,"Lucky us."

"But look on the bright side;you've got us now."Calum said with a smile,"Now,who's up for slushies?"
