Memory

Chapter 5

"The next day, she showed up. But damn, I did not expect her to look the way she did."

"MAI OPEN THE DAMN DOOR RIGHT THIS MOMENT!!!!" I wake up to pounding on my door. I groan as I sit up and fling back the covers. I walk sluggishly to the door, removing the chair and unlocking it. It slings open and standing there is a very mad Liv.
"Sorry." I yawn.
"Hurry up and get dressed. Louis will be waiting down the street with a carriage in 20 minutes!"
"Okay okay I'm going. What should I wear?" I look at Liv and she's in a black colored sundress that ends mid thigh. The dress clings to her thin body and to her makes her curves look absolutely perfect. She has her long brown hair straightened and her bangs clipped back with a black bow. To complete her outfit she has a pair of black sandals on her feet.
"I don't know! Just hurry up!"
"Okay I'm going!" I rush into the bathroom and brush my hair and pull it up into a bun. I put in a pair of teal heart earrings and finish applying the small amount of make-up I always do. Next, I slip into my teal sundress and slip on a pair of white sandals. And grab a white handbag and exit the bathroom.
"You clean up nicely." Liv comments.
"I know."
"Alright. Lets go." She walks over to the window and opens it up. My room is located on the side of the mansion and has vines crawling up to the balcony. The vines wrap themselves around this garden like crate thing that's stationed on just below my balcony.
"Liv, what are you doing?"
"Well, considering that there's no way we could make it outside through the front or back doors without being noticed, we're climbing out the window."
"O...kay." We climb down the side of the house and sneak out of the yard, walking down the street and to the waiting carriage.

Sting's POV

Rogue and I are waiting in town for the girls. I know Mai said she had a friend who could help her get out, but I just hope that they didn't get caught.
"Where are they?!" I ask agitated.
"I'm sure they're on their way." Sting says.
Just as he said that, a carriage pulled up and two girls jump out. I recognize one as Mai.
"Mai! Over here!" I wave to them. She sees me waving and they make their way over to us.
I look at Rogue. He's staring at her friend, mouth wide open as well as his eyes.
"Hey, shut your mouth. You're gonna catch flies!" I laugh. He shakes is head and regains his posture. His face emotionless as ever.
"Hey!" Mai says.
"Well, don't you look lovely."
"Why thank you!"
"Is this your friend?"
"Yes. She's my best friend. Liv, this is Sting. Sting this Liv."
"Well, nice to meet you." I say politely. "Allow me to introduce you to my brother, Rogue." I say.
"Um hello." she says.
"Hello." He says politely. He smiles.
HE SMILED?!?! Rogue, an emotionless person, SMILED?!?!
"Alright buddy. Who are you and what have you done with the REAL Rogue?!" I say.
"Sting, what are you talking about?!" Mai asks worriedly.
"Rogue smiled."
"What's so wrong with that?"
"HE NEVER SMILES!"
She starts laughing, as well as her friend.
"Hey, what's so funny?!" I ask.
"Nothing. It's nothing." They calm down.
"Shall we go?" I ask, extending my hand to Mai.
"We shall."
