More Specifically, Me Maxine

I'm Not an Open Book, Don't Force the Diary of Me

Maxine’s POV

I end up falling asleep on the couch with myself cuddled close to Martin, he’s warm, a bit too warm actually as I feel his forehead when I wake up.

“Martin. Wake up” I say trying to get out of his grip.

“Go ‘way, sleep.” He says, pulling me close.

“Martin you feel warm, you’re sick.” I tell him.

“Maxine I’m not, please don’t worry.”

“Stop it. You are sick and I need to go tell Kevin because we don’t have cold medicine.”

“Maxine you can’t go out, I’ll do it.” Razor says, walking in on us.

“I haven’t been out since yesterday and I need air. I’m going.” I say, getting out of Martin’s grip and changing into a pair of of red denim jean shorts and a white cami with black studded flip flops.

“Maxine don’t go out that door.” My blue haired friend says.

“Give me three good reasons.” I counter.

“I don’t have one! Just stay here and we can do whatever you want.” Razor says, trying to convince me out of walking off the bus to get the medication and goodies for my lovely fiance.

“Then I’m going and you can’t stop me.” I say, walking out the door with a wristlet with some cash in it.

I walk towards a small Rite Aid near the bus to find some medication for my fiance, if he’s sick I need to take care of him.

Before I get the medication I first try to find soup for him, I don’t know which ones to choose so I just pick the most obvious ones you would get for a sick person. Then heading down the next few aisles I pick up little things like ribbon and construction paper to make Martin a card, sounds childish but I just want to be all cutesy on his sick day.

Finally I reach the medicine aisle to find some Dayquil and Nyquil, pricing out both of options between the separate ones and the double I end up getting the double as that seems more cost efficient, thank you calculators so I don’t have to overspend on things.

Before I grab the medications another hand grabs it before me, I look up to see a tall man with blonde crazy hair, like he hasn’t slept in days due to just being lazy or being a heavy partier, either way he’s sick.

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t see you there.” The man says.

“Hey it’s perfectly fine, no need to apologize.” I say, waving my hand back and forth.

“You don’t look sick, who’s the medication for?”

“Oh, my fiance, he’s sick and is waiting for me to come back to our bus.”

“Bus? Are you on a tour or just own one?” He asks confused.

“My friend knows Kevin Lyman, the founder of the Warped Tour.” I tell him as I walk up to pay for my purchases.

“You know I played on that last year. I had an awesome time.” He tells me.

“Really? That’s so cool! I’d love to actually play it but I don’t think I have talent to be honest with you.” I tell him, then walking out of the store.

“I bet you do have talent, you just seem like the kind of girl who would. What do you do? Sing? Drums? Guitar?”

“Sing and I play guitar, I actually own my dad’s old one before he left me when I was seven.”

“What happened to him? Was he a druggie? Deadbeat?” He asks, concerned of me.

“Just personal reasons, I’d like to keep behind closed doors. Let’s just say I’m on a mission to find him, ten years ago he left.”

“Hey well that’s okay, I’m Kyle by the way, Kyle Burns. I’m the drummer for the band Forever the Sickest Kids, ever heard of us?”

“I’ve listened to a few of your songs, I’m still trying to get into your music though.” I tell Kyle.

“Hey that’s nice. You never told me your name, what is it?”

“Oh I’m Maxine, Maxine Gaskarth!”

“Gaskarth, Gaskarth. Oh Gaskarth! I’ve heard that name before, I toured with his band before. All Time Low! His daughter is named Maxine, he’s been looking for her since he’s been on tour with his husband, Jack.”

“What.” I say, jaw dropping.

“All Time Low?”

“No before that.”

“I toured with his band?”

“No the “He’s been looking for his daughter.” Part, I’ve been looking for my dad. What’s Gaskarth’s first name?” I ask, wondering if that man Gaskarth is my dad.

“Alex...You’re not...No you can’t be. But.. Are you? Maxine are you his daughter?”

“I don’t know Kyle!” I say with tears. “My dad has been gone for ten years and I’ve just been looking for someone who may have forgotten my own existence! I’ve been getting creepy text messages from this dude who I’m guessing is stalking me and I’m just so lost and confused okay!”

“Maxine, it’s okay. I understand.” He says calmly.

“No you don’t! Your dad didn’t leave you with your crazy mom who hurt you! You didn’t have an abusive relationship with a boy who lied about every fucking living thing to your face! You are sure as hell aren’t a teenage girl who is so lost to the point where it secretly brings her to insanity Kyle! You don’t know me and you certainly don’t know my story! I’m not an open book so don’t force the diary of me out of myself! Don’t tell me you understand if you aren’t doing this yourself! ” I scream, storming off back to the bus, not caring about Kyle calling my name.

“Maxine!”

“Screw. You. Kyle.”

“But wait!”

“Go the hell away!”

“Will you listen to what I have to say?”

“No!”

“I know who your dad is Maxine!”

The whole world just stops, my mind freezes and its all like a movie scene. Is this real? Is this a dream? Please tell me it isn’t because is this the news I’ve been dying to hear? I really want this to be true. World if you loved me you would let this be real, so please let this be real.
