I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy ...

Chapter 6 - This Is Just A Test

Maddie didn't move when she heard my outburst of 'fire escape'. Instead she waited and took in a deep smile before jumping up and into my arms.

"Patrick, you genius!" She exclaimed wrapping her arms around my neck.

"Well...you know," I said feeling slightly proud of myself. Maddie felt so good in my arms and her usual scent of oranges was making me want to forget the escape right now. Images of us together again on this very bathroom floor were torn away quickly as Maddie stepped out of my arms. She moved over to the window leaving me heated and highly disappointed.

"I'll go first," she said in a commanding voice.

I nodded my head knowing it wouldn't do any good to argue about it. Maddie looked out the window first as if examining her escape more closely. Her fingers tightly grasped the sides of the window making her knuckles turn white. I was watching this so closely I didn't notice her turn to face me.

"Patrick," she said bringing me back. "Will you give me a boost?"

I smiled slightly knowing asking me for help was something she didn't intend to do. I moved over to the window to stand by her and knelt down on one knee.

"Now's not the time to confess your love to me," she said looking down at me with a smirk playing on her lips.

"Oh ha ha," I spoke back. "Just step on my knee, okay," I said feeling very vulnerable that I was at her beck and call.

Maddie gave a smile and hoisted herself on my knee. She grabbed the window seal and scurried through. I told myself I was proving a point when I grabbed her leg and pushed her through faster. I heard her give a screech and a small thud soon after. I couldn't help but let a laugh slip.

"Patrick," I heard her annoyed voice call. "I am carrying your unborn child you know."

My laugh faded. "You couldn't let me enjoy that."

Now it was her turn to laugh. "C'mon then," she said from the outside world.

I huffed and grasped onto the window seal as she had done, but the problem now was I had no one to give me a boost. I tried my footing on the wall but all I received was a slip to the ground. I got up and looked around for anything to help me reach the window.

"Patrick," came Maddie's voice outside clearly miffed why I was taking so long.

"Hang on," I said spotting a hamper close to the door.

I grabbed the hamper as it emitted a stench I had never smelt before. I made a point to turn my head away as I placed it under the window. One step up and one giant pull forward and I was falling out the window and onto the metal floor of the fire escape.

The metal connected with my hands and cheek and I gave a soft 'oof' in frustration. I looked up to see Maddie standing over me with a small grin on her face.

"Do you believe in karma?" She stated simply covering her laugh with her hand.

I just scoffed and brought myself to full height again. "Absolutely not," I stated boldly straightening my cap and clothes.

Maddie shook her head at me yet again that night and tugged on my shirt to follow her down the escape.

I noticed my heavy breathing as we felt pavement finally hit our feet. I clambered after Maddie who made a straight away to her car that was still parked on the street. I saw her give a flip with her keys and the headlights flashed on. She scrambled into the driver's seat and I didn't waste time getting in also. Once the doors were closed we were gone.

"Well that went smoothly," I stated not being able to hold my sarcasm in.

Maddie gave me nothing more than a side glance and kept driving. I had to settle with a little laugh from myself.
