Yesterday, I flew for a lot of time. I was so excited that I could not even keep track of time and went to bed at 1:00am. I was tired but happy. Then I remembered that somebody will wake me up after 2 to 3 hours for training. I thought to call Max and tell him to take a break for a day. Then I got reminded that Max has not yet given me his phone number, moreover tomorrow is Sunday. I believe that I deserve a break for learning to fly in just two days. Max told us that his friend who was a fairy took a lot longer time to learn flying. I am a lot better than her in flying. I can use this as an excuse to convince him to excuse me for today's training so, I decided to go to his room and talk to her.
I got up from the bed and by mistake, I stepped on Eliza's foot. Luckily, she was asleep so she didn't find out about this. I am quite clummsy and I know that. I quitely went to Max's room and without thinking, I opened the door of his room and said, " Max I.... " and I could not utter a single word on seeing Max. He was only wearing a towel and just came out of the shower. He was about to scream and me too. I said, " Oh, I am sorry." and then I shut the door of his room with my back facing the door. I said from outside only, " I am sorry, Max. I should not have opened the door like that..... " Max interrupted me and said, " No problem. You can now come inside. I am fully clothed now." I entered the room and again said, " I am sorry. I am not used to a guy living in my house. Only Taylor spends nights here and we share bathrooms. Again, I am sorry. "
Max smiled and said, " Its Okay Laura. It was an accident caused by ignorance of both of us. I should also have locked my door but I didn't."
I asked, " But why were you taking a bath at this time."
" I can't sleep before taking a bath. I sleep only and only after taking a nice shower. By the way, why are you here , at this time."
I said, " Oh, I wanted to ask you.. Uh... That... wa... Uh... I forgot. " I forgot what I wanted to say to Max after seeing him like that. " Right, I remember now. So... I was thinking that now it is quite late and tomorrow is Sunday so, can we take a break, just for a day. I am very tired. I trained in the morning and then at the night. I don't think I can't handle this much pressure. I also need a break and I believe you will also need some rest after training me for such a long time. Please."
He said, " Ok fine. You don't need to give me so many excuses just to avoid training. Tell me you are tired and I will think if you deserve a break or not, depending on your training."
" Thank you so much and don't let anyone wake me up in the morning", I said and left his room.
The moment I hit my head on the pillow, I was asleep. I was so exhausted that in the morning when Eliza tried to wake me up, I did not even open my eyes even though I heard Eliza's voice.
I got up amd found out that Lydia, Eliza, Taylor were whispering. I said, " Where is Max and what are you three doing? "
Eliza said, " Max is in the kitchen, helping your mother in preparation of lunch. You missed breakfast. We are going to play a game and we are discussing about that."
I, suddenly felt an urge of anger and said, " All day you guys are playing games and I am the only one who is working hard. I am training hard but you all keep on playing. Lydia, don't you have any studies to do? Are you planning to fail in your midterm exams? "
Eliza said, " Calm down. Lydia will study and we can help her. Why are you so edgy today? "
Max came out of the kitchen with Mom and gave me a weird drink. He said, " Laura, drink this. It will calm you down and reduce your anger. " I took the drink and drank it.
" I am sorry, Eliza and Lydia. I don't know why I felt so angry over a petty thing. ", I said after relaxing.
Eliza said, " Its alright, Laura. Max already told us that when you will wake up, you will be angry. I asked you the reason of your anger just to remind you that you don't have any reason to be angry."
I said, "Max, what does that mean? Why was I so angry all of a sudden and How did you know I will be upset? "
He replied, " This is the side effect of pushing yourself too hard to train. You will feel anger and sorrow from time to time until you rest properly. I saw sorrow in your eyes, when you came to my room. That is the reason, I agreed to give you a day off from training. You can enjoy today and we will resume training from tomorrow. I also prepared this liquid with your mother. This will calm you down."
" Thank you, Max. I will not push myself anymore.", I said.
" It is alright, sis. We all know that you are working very hard and we are of no help to you. The least we can do is handle your outbursts."
I hugged Lydia and said, " I am sorry Lydia for my outburst and thank you for understanding it."
I thought and then said, " What if we all go out and enjoy ourselves tonight. Our vacations are going on abd we are doing nothing enjoyable. Let's go and enjoy tonight."
Lydia, Eliza and Taylor agreed but Max and Mom refused. They believe that I should rest at home. I said, " How can I rest by being at home? I will rest by going for karaoke and lunch."
Eliza also said, " I have also noticed that Max wears same clothes everyday. We can also go shopping for Max. "
Max refused as expected.
Then, Taylor said, " Both of my best friends are girls and they love shopping. I always have to go for shopping with them otherwise they will kill me. Max, let's go shopping. Today you will also carry bags with me. Why must I only suffer with them."
"Oh, no Eliza. I am satisfied with my clothes and did you forget that I am a werewolf."
" Werewolf or not. You are also a guy. Don't you like wearing new clothes, going for shopping and things like that? ", Eliza said.
" No. I don't. ", Max replied.
Mom also insisted, " Yes Max. You are also a child. Go and enjoy like a child. Stop trying so hard to do everything on your own Try to loosen up a bit and enjoy your life. Alright, you all go and enjoy today. Lydia, you will stay at home and complete your holiday homework."
Max said, " I am alright. I don't like shopping and wasting my time." Mom said, " It is not waste of time, honey. You are 18 years old. You should learn to enjoy life. If you don't want to go shopping,you can go for movies. Now go and get ready. "
On Mom's insistance, Max agreed and Taylor was on cloud nine to have a guy in our group. He pulled Max to get him ready for shopping and Eliza pulled me to get me ready. I smiled and went in my room with Eliza to get ready.
