More Specifically, Me Maxine
Waiting for You
Maxine’s POV
“Now she's got a boyfriend and I've got a rock band ‘cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned.Yeah, she's on the west coast and I'm on some back road driving to this city and then who knows 'cause that's all she wrote "I wish that I could turn this car around" But she's got a boyfriend now” We all sing at one in the morning at the top of our lungs as we’ve been in the car for five hours, now barely reaching Delaware, Razor still driving as she can stay up for days on end.
“Guys I’m gonna go to bed now, its late and I still run on sleep, not gasoline.” Justin says to us.
“Night Justin.” Razor and I say, letting Justin sleep for about half an hour before I get a strange message.
To: Maxine
From: Unknown Number
You're on your way to look for me aren’t you? Keep looking. I won’t bother you for the rest of the night though. Goodnight Maxine.
“Find a rest stop, pull the car over and Justin get your ass up.” I say, freaked out about the text.
“What’s going on? We still have three fourths of a tank of gas left and I’m still tired.” Justin grumbles as I awake him from his sleep.
“I got a strange text message. Look!” I say as we park into a Target parking lot.
I show them the text message, they look at in shock for a little bit and Razor is the first to speak up.
“Do you think it’s your dad?” She says.
“Can’t be I just got a cell phone freshman year, my dad was long gone by then.” I reply to her.
“Maybe you have a stalker?” Justin says.
“But we’re looking for my dad.”
“Maxine for all we know your dad is a stalker and I don’t really know how to respond anymore. You get some sleep and lets just get back on the highway to meet Martin, its another five hours to Boston.” Razor says.
“Fine but lets find a Wendy’s or something, I need something not sugary-sweet.” I say.
“You’re lucky Wendy’s is right over there.” Razor says, driving to the other side of the parking lot where the fast food restaurant is.
“What does everyone want?” My blue haired friend says to Justin and I.
“I want sleep, fries and a diet Coke.” My grumpy twenty year old friend says.
“Can I have a two chicken sandwiches, large fries with both, a Sprite and a large Frosty?” I ask, starving to death.
“Child how hungry are you?” Razor says, surprised on my hunger as I’m not normally this hungry.
“Very, and I’m not the child! I’m older than you!” I say to her, pouting as she orders all the food.
“Yeah, sure you are.” Razor says, rolling her eyes and pulling up to the next window.
“Your total is $23.67, please pull up to the next window.” The worker at the Wendy’s says as Razor gives her the credit card.
We roll up to the next window and collect our food, then pull into a parking spot to get the food sorted out.
“Diet Coke, fries and sleep for Justin.” Razor says, giving Justin his food. “And this nasty crap for Max.” My best friend says since she hates chicken after a video in a class she took in seventh grade.
“This isn’t crap, plus chocolate and fries taste good. More for me then.” I say, taking my food and acting like a snooty bitch jokingly.
“Bug you're weird, but you don’t need to act bitchingly weird.” My twenty year old friend says.
“I’m going to say this once and once only. Justin you ordered sleep, so go to bed. Max eat your damn food. I’m going to get on the highway and turn on the CD my dad gave me. So shut up and don’t complain.” Razor says, mad as hell.
I zip my lips and eat my food while Justin sleeps in the back.
“Thank you, I need to drive. I don’t know Justin’s driving and I’m not ready to die yet so Maxine, you're not driving at all this trip.” The blue haired girl says, calming down and turning the CD to the first track, When I Come Around by Green Day.
I much on my food and look out the window, wondering what my dad is doing right now and not knowing what our journey will take us towards.
Mystery POV
“Do you really need to text her this early in the morning?” The dark haired man said to me.
“She needs to know that I know she’s coming, it doesn’t matter when.” I respond to him.
I text her, knowing she won’t respond back, that’s okay though, I knew from the start she wouldn’t.
“I think we should get to bed, we should be waiting for her appearance soon.” I say, putting my arm around my dark haired friend.
“It may be weeks though cutie.” He said to me.
“She’s apart of me, and I’m apart of her, I’ll wait as long as I have to.”
We get to the bed we share and I snuggle up to my husband, him being the big spoon and myself being the little spoon.
“Goodnight sweetheart, we have a big tour coming up next week. Lets hope she finds us when we’re on tour so she can hear us play. I love you.” My raven haired husband says.
“I love you too, and I hope so too.” I say as I fall asleep into a world of dreams.
