Chapter 20
The day before the trip Adam was freaking out, running around, grabbing things he might need, always asking, should I bring this? Do I need this? Why do I have this? How did this get here? Avery, help me choose! Please?
I had already packed 3 days ago, I don't know why Adam didn't listen to me when I told him to start packing then. He is the type of person who takes days to pack, sigh, now he only has half a day.
Sighing, I went into my room to make sure my phone and kindle were charging, I went over to my suitcase, everything I needed was already in there.
I was bored so I grabbed a few books, making sure those books were the books I would want to read for an entire week, I put them into the suitcase.
I grabbed another book, but before I could even open it Adam yelled, "Avery! Help me, please?!"
I sighed getting up from the floor I walked into Adam's room, I paused shocked by the mess. Clothes were thrown every, so were a few of his wigs.
My eyes wandered to Adam, who was sitting on top of a suitcase, "What do you need help with?"
Adam bounced on the suitcase, trying to zip it up, "Can you help me zip this up? I can't do it. Ugh! ZIP UP, ALREADY!" Adam was yanking on the zipper, growling.
I sighed and went over to help him, crouching down, I pulled the zipper as hard as I could, zip, oof, I fell over. I looked at the zipper, sigh, it was only half closed, I got up, grunting and pulled again, sigh, finally, it was closed.
Adam got off of the suitcase, smiling, "Yeah! We did it! Finally."
I raised an eyebrow, "Are you finally done packing? Or do you have more?"
Adam grinned, "Nope, I have 1 more suitcase to go and you're going to help me with it"
I groaned, "No, why me? Do it yourself."
Adam looked at me with a pout, "Please, please, please? Pretty, please? Pwease, Avery?"
5 minutes later, I was helping him pick out outfits and helping him pack.
After a few hours of helping Adam choose his outfits, I was exhausted, collapsing onto the bed, sighing, I rolled over. Closing my eyes I fell asleep.------Dream------
"Avery! Hey, Avery! Wake up!" I opened my eyes, looking at the face of my old friend, Shara, she smiled, "Hey Avery, your awake, you fell asleep at lunch, don't worry there are still 5 minutes left until the bell, anyway, I need your help with something. Can you meet me here after school today? Please? It is really important to me."
I smiled, I would do anything for my only friend, "Of course, Shara."
After school, I walked back over to the spot, I looked around, where is Shara?
Suddenly, ouch, who hit me? I turned around and saw Shara, what? Ow.
I heard Shara say, "I'm sorry Avery, but I never liked you, you were too weird."
I thought to myself, what? Why? I thought she was my friend. I continued to get pummeled.-----End Of Dream-----
I jerked awake, letting out a breath, just a dream, I looked at the clock, 6:58, I thought about the dream, my only 6th-grade friend stabbed me in the back, why did she do it?
Sigh, whatever, I should actually thank her, if she hadn't done that then I wouldn't have gotten into Martial Arts. So some good had come out of what she did.
I got out of bed, grabbing my clothes and taking a shower, I started singing the song Kings & Queens, "If all of the kings had their queens on the throne, We would pop champagne and raise a toast, To all of the queens who are fighting alone, Baby, you're not dancin' on your own."
After I finish showering, I ate breakfast, then I went back to bed, grabbing my books, I read.
Until I heard Adam pounding on my door, "Avery, wake up and eat your breakfast! We're going to be late!"
I rolled off the bed, opening the door, I told Adam, "I already ate, are we leaving now?"
Adam nodded, "Come on let's go!" He dragged me out the door, right as I slipped my shoes on.
The ride to the airport took about an hour when we got, I had barely enough time to waved goodbye to Thomas, after grabbing our bags, before Adam dragged me to the entrance.
After registering for the flight, we went on the plane going to New York.
I slept for the entire 5-hour flight. When we finally go off, we went to the baggage claim area, after grabbing our bags, Adam dragged me to a man holding up the name, ADAM DARKWATERS, on a small sign.
He greeted us, "Hello, Adam and Adam's guest, come with me, sir and miss. The car is this way."
The ride to Adam's family's house was less than 30 minutes long, during which I asked, "Why do your parents let you live alone?"
Adam answered, "I'm not really alone, Thomas lives less than a mile away from us."
I raised my eyebrows, "Really? I didn't know that."
When we got there Adam's family was waiting for us when we got out of the car, all of them were standing there, I stared in shock, they were all so beautiful. It was like looking at a family of models.
Mrs.Darkwaters smiled at us, "Welcome home Adam. Nice to meet you, Avery. Oh my, you look so similar to my Adam, hahaha, I thought you were him for a second, oh dear, how silly of me."
Oh god, even her laugh was elegant and soft.
I smiled, "It is nice to meet you too, Mrs.Darkwaters."
Mrs.Darkwaters replied, "Oh sweetheart, call me Mary, please."
I nodded, "Okay, sure, Mary."
One of the brothers stepped up, "Hello, my name is Ace, the eldest son of the Darkwaters family." He held out a hand.
I shook it, "Hello, I'm Avery Bane, nice to meet you."
Another brother stepped up, "Hello, I'm Aiden, the second oldest in the Darkwaters family." He also offered a hand.
I nodded, shaking his hand, "Hi, I'm Avery, nice to meet you."
The last brother walked over to me, "Hello, names Alec, the third oldest. Nice to meet you, Avery."
I smiled, "Nice to meet you too."
Who I assumed was Alice skipped toward me, "Hi Avery, I'm Alice, nice to meet you." Then she hugged me.
I patted her back, "Hi, Alice, nice to meet you too."
Mr.Darkwaters walked up to me, wow he was tall, "Hello Avery, I and Randel Darkwaters, please call me Randy, nice to meet you." He offered his hand.
I looked up at him, smiling, "Nice to meet you too, uh, Randy."
And thus, I met Adam's family.
