Shadow Children
Gig Harbor
“Sh! Don’t wake her up! I’ll carry her to the bus…” I heard Jinxx whisper. I was so tired I couldn’t open my eyes or move. It must have been really early in the morning or else I wouldn’t feel like that. I wondered what they were doing. I felt Jinxx’s arms lift me up, still in the sleeping bag.
“Yes we are checking out…” I heard CC say.
“I put all of the bags on the bus, we are ready to go!” I heard Ashley say. I heard Jinxx’s feet going up the stairs to the bus and I was placed in my bunk bed.
“She is like CC. I would never be able to sleep through all of the commotion that went on this morning…” I heard Sammi say.
“Well we tried to let you guys sleep, but Andy had to crash into everything!” Jake said. Wait, what? I didn’t wake up for that?
“Well I’m going back to sleep…” I heard Andy say.
“CC already did that, he’s out cold hanging half way off of his bed…” Ashley said.
“Well guys Merry Christmas, good night… morning, what the fuck. Have a good sleep!” Juliet said. It grew silent and soon enough they were all asleep. Where are we heading? Was all that I could think. I drifted into a deeper sleep. I woke up to the sounds of people snoring and the brightness outside of the windows.
“Holy fucking shit! It’s Christmas!” I yelled.
“Yes, yes it is…” I heard Ashley say.
“What time is it?” I asked.
“7am…” He said
“We are 10 minutes away!” The bus driver yelled. Andy scrambled to get up. And I was blindfolded once again. I ended up spacing out. Someone was clapping in my face, I have no clue who because I have a fucking blindfold on!
“I’m awake and up! So stop clapping in my fucking face!” I yelled.
“Good you aren’t dead!” I heard CC say. I was picked up and carried off of the bus. I heard airplanes, why are we in an airport? We stood on a line for a good half an hour and then the guys had to take off my shoes and put all of my things into the buckets.
“This way Jay…” Matt led me to the machine. The TSA people had to do an additional scanning because apparently you aren’t supposed to go through a metal detector with more than one person!
“Can anybody explain to me where we are going?” I asked/whined.
“Nope, it’s your Christmas gift!” Andy yelled.
“I’m probably going to end up dead trusting you to show me where to walk… OW!” I was walked into a wall as I said that, my point was proven.
“Sorry… sorry… but you can’t see anything!” CC said. Eventually I was sat in a chair, thank god!
“Any body want any food?” Matt asked.
“Can you get me a water and a cheese its?” I asked.
“Sure thing! Anyone else?”
“Whiskey!” I heard Ashley and Andy yell.
“Can you tell me now?” I whined.
“Andy are we sure that Amy didn’t give birth to her?” I heard Jinxx ask.
“Positive, I told you that about a million times!” He said. Matt came back with the food and tossed it to me not noticing that I am unable to catch it due to my lack of sight.
“Fuck you Matt Good, Fuck you!” I yelled.
“Christian Coma party of 9, please make your way up to the flight services table.” I heard coming from the loud speakers. I was picked up and carried to the table.
“Are all nine of you present?” The person asked.
“Yes”
“Yup”
“Mm-hmm!” I heard come from the guy’s mouths.
“Enjoy your flight!” He said. I was carried onto the plane, we had priority boarding so we got to go on before everyone else. That means that I am unable to hear where we are going! I felt a tug at the back of my head once I was seated. The blindfold was ripped off of my face.
“She can see!” CC yelled. Ashley held something up and Andy taped it above me and CC’s heads.
“Ah the old mistletoe!” Juliet and Sammi awed. CC and I looked up.
“You know what that means!” Ashley yelled.
“Ew no PDA on the plane!” Jake yelled. I laughed at his reaction and quickly pulled into CC’s arms. We kissed for what seemed like forever.
“We will be leaving to Seattle in a few minutes…” The flight attendant said into the microphone. I broke away from the kiss and stared at CC. I mouthed thank you.
“I love you Minnie mouse, merry Christmas!” I hugged him and laid on his chest.
“Adorable love fest you guys got going on right there, now can you please stop? I don’t need another reason to puke on this plane…” Jake said. Apparently not only does he not like PDA but he hates small planes. We pulled away from the gate and started our 2 and a half hour flight back home. The guys all pulled out Nintendo DS’ and handed me a nicely wrapped box.
“Open it!” Matt yelled. I ripped it open to find a black and green Nintendo DS with a Mario Kart game, and a merry Christmas card from Andy and Matt.
“Let’s play!” We started playing Mario Kart, it got really intense.
“Take that you fucking toad!” Jake yelled.
“Jake I’m going to kill you!” Jinxx yelled. I was Princess Daisy.
“Suck my dick Princess Daisy!” CC yelled.
“Dude! She’s not legal yet… her birthday is soon though…” Ashley said back to him.
“What the fuck Ash?” CC yelled. I bumped Mario off of the road.
“JAY! I thought we were friends!” Andy yelled. CC was Bowser.
“I make everyone tiny!” CC yelled. I nudged him. Matt won the first round, but since then I was on a winning streak and kicking everyone’s fucking asses!
“Please return your seats into their upright position, we will be landing momentarily. Also the Captain has turned the no electronics sign back on, please turn them off now.” We ended the game just as the flight attendant said the last words.
“How are you so fucking good at that game?” Ashley yelled.
“I really like Mario…” I answered sheepishly.
“But you beat us like 20 times in a row!” Matt yelled. The plane hit the ground and it got really bumpy.
“Thank you for flying with United Airlines, have a nice day…” The flight attendant said as the doors were opened.
“To Gig Harbor!” Andy yelled running out of the plane.
“Hey look! It’s Emo Elmo and her posse of Fucktards!” A guy from my school yelled.
“Can we go?” I tried to hurry the guys.
“Who are you calling a fucktard?” Juliet yelled as she whirled around, “Mainly the question I should be asking is who are you calling Emo Elmo?”
“Guys it’s Juliet Simms from The Voice!” He yelled hitting his friends.
“You better give me a reason to why you call her Emo Elmo in 5 seconds!” Her voice raised higher.
“She’s not half as hot as you…” One of them said.
“No you are wrong about that she is fucking beautiful and if you think you have the right to make fun of her and my friends well then fuck you!” She punched him in the face.
“Didn’t they try out for our competition?” CC asked me. I nodded my head.
“Hey bastards, here’s a surprise for you! Don’t bother showing up to our competition, you’re out.” He yelled as we walked away.
“Fuck you!” Was all that they could yell back.
“You okay?” Juliet asked.
“I’m fine, more importantly what about you?” I asked.
“Perfect!” Ashley grabbed the bags off of the belt and we walked to the bus that was waiting for us. When we got on we whipped out our Nintendos.
“Another round! GO!” CC yelled. We continued playing, I was still kicking everyone’s butts.
“YES! FUCK YES! I WON!” Jinxx yelled. We pulled up to my house and ran out of the bus.
“Ouch!”
“CC, you’re crushing me!”
“Fuck that hurt!”
“OW!” We all yelled as we fell in a pile near my front door. CC helped me up and I unlocked the door.
“Merry Christmas!” We all yelled as we ran inside.
“Justine!” My mom and Dad yelled.
“SISSY!” Blade yelled as he tackled me to the ground. Niki and Jagger jumped on top of us.
“Are you back for good?” Niki asked. I looked at the guys for an answer.
“Yes and we are rooming with you!” They all yelled.
“Did you guys know about this?” I asked my mom and dad.
“Maybe…” My mom smirked, “basement is already set up for you guys, so put your stuff down there and come back up for dinner!”
“Christian can I speak to you, alone?” My dad asked. He was going to give him the “don’t hurt my little girl” speech. I helped the guys and Sammi and Juliet bring their stuff downstairs. When I got upstairs I saw my dad carrying CC’s stuff to my room.
“You’re dad is a really nice man!” CC said. We all looked at him really confused as we sat down for dinner. My mom brought in two plates filled with bacon and cheese.
“Andy, I heard you really like bacon and cheese! So here you go.” She put the plates down and we stuffed our faces.
“Mrs. Westtower I have a question for you. Are Andy and Justine related some how?” Jinxx asked.
“Not that I know of, but I see your point. They act exactly the same!”
“Can you pass me the turkey?” Matt asked. We ate until our stomachs hurt.
“Night mommy!” I said as I kissed my mom’s head, I was tired from all of that eating.
“Night CC!” I said as he kissed me goodnight.
“I think I’m going to sleep also…” Andy said.
“Same here…” Juliet said. Soon enough we all got ready for bed. I lied down in bed for a while. I heard the door open and felt cold hands wrap around me. I rolled over and faced CC.
“I love you…” I said pecking him on the lips.
“I love you more!” He said kissing me back.
“Impossible!” I whisper/shouted.
“Nuh-uh!” He said laying on top of me.
“You’re going to crush me!” I said.
“I refuse to move!” He said back.
“So what did you and my dad talk about?” I asked.
“You, music, you, more music, Disney, he asked if I would ever take advantage of you. I told him that that would be plain crazy. And then we talked about drums. Oh and then he said that he wanted me rooming with you, and I told him that I didn’t have a problem with it.” I snickered. CC smiled.
“Now will you get off of me?” I asked.
“Nope!” He smiled.
“Come on!”
“Never!” I pressed my lips up to his and rolled over so I was on top of him.
“Not fair!” He argued.
“Perfectly fair!” I yelled back as I rolled off of him.
“Good night…” He said.
“Night CC…” And then I was out like a light.
“Yes we are checking out…” I heard CC say.
“I put all of the bags on the bus, we are ready to go!” I heard Ashley say. I heard Jinxx’s feet going up the stairs to the bus and I was placed in my bunk bed.
“She is like CC. I would never be able to sleep through all of the commotion that went on this morning…” I heard Sammi say.
