More Specifically, Me Maxine

The World is a Dangerous Place, Maxine

Maxine’s POV

“Max, Max wake up, we’re at Martin’s place.” Razor tries to tell me.

“Fuck off I’m sleeping.” I groan.

I feel someone pick me up and then I get really annoyed so I flail my arms around.

“Put me the hell down I was sleeping.”

“Not happening sweetheart.” A voice says.

“Martin?” I ask.

“That’s me, you’re the famous Maxine who’s looking for her dad aren’t ‘cha?” Martin says, placing me down when we’re inside of the house.

“Yeah, I’m really glad you can help me out.” I respond to the taller man.

“Really this means so much to Max here, she’s been through a lot in the past ten years.” Justin says to Martin.

“Hey it’s no problem, any friend of Razor’s is a friend of mine. Plus something like this is big news to me, I’ve been sitting at home not doing anything for the past few weeks.”

“Guys cut to the chase, we need to get on with finding Maxine’s dad.” Razor says, mad since she hasn’t had sleep in over twenty four hours even though she’s stayed up for five days straight.

“Feisty much?” Martin says. “What’s caught up your ass?”

“Female issues.” The blue haired girl says with gritted teeth.

“Nice one.” I say.

“Well I don’t wanna get Bladesy here anymore mad so lets get to work at.....seven am!” Martin says using a nickname I’ve never heard of before.

“Bladesy?” I question.

“Nickname since she was thirteen. So where do we start?” Martin says.

“I have a letter from my dad if that helps? He said to open it when I was sixteen but I’m seventeen now and still haven’t opened it.”

“Anything else?”

“I have this hoodie I’m wearing, my guitar pick necklace and my guitar from him in the car.”

“We’ll let’s check out the necklace first, it may have some engraving on it.” Martin says and then I hand over my necklace.

He looks over it carefully then seeing if it can open, it does and I never knew that. He sees two pictures inside of it, a man that looks like a younger version of my father and a picture that could be my mother.

“Do you know this man and woman?” He asks.

“I think that the guy could be my dad when he was younger and the woman could be my mom before she turned to alcohol.” I say to him, everyone listening to us.

“They may help later, how about you get that guitar of yours, I can tell the date and everything just by looking at it.” He says and Razor jumps up and runs to the car to get it.

She comes in a few minutes later and then Martin looks at it, turning it every which way possible to define every detail.

“I can definitely tell you this is a Fender Dreadnought Cutaway CD-110CE, but there is one part I can’t tell you what it is, right here.” Martin says, pointing to a portion of the guitar where the fretboard meets the base of the guitar, spot looking like scratch mark or where it was trying to be engraved at.

“I’m not sure, it’s always been there.” I say just as I get a text from the unknown number again. “Hold on, this number is texting me again.”
To:Maxine
From: Unknown Number
Keep thinking silly dreamer, picking up the evidence aren’t ‘cha? Well keep going, I hope to see you soon.


I show the message to everyone, Martin reading over it carefully.

“Has this number been texting you lately?” He asks.

“Only once, early this morning actually.”

“This may be lead to your dad, but I can’t be sure, just let them text and if anything is weird text me. Now back to the evidence, I don’t think the hoodie will do any good so it looks like it’s time to open the letter.”

I’m a little bit scared but I get the letter from my hoodie pocket and hand it over.

“You guys ready? This is a bit nerve racking for me as much as it may be for you.” Martin says to all of us.

“I’m a bit scared but if this helps my Bug here then I’ll be ready to face anything head on.” Justin says.

“Razor whatever the letter says we’ll be there for you okay?” Razor says, out of her grumpy mood and placing her arm around me.

“I guess so.”

Martin opens the envelope to get to the letter and asks if he can read it out loud and I nod.
“Dear my little fairy princess Maxine,

It’s your daddy, Alex. By the time you read this letter you should be about sixteen, unless you get a bit scared and don’t open till way later on in life, which I am perfectly okay with. I know you may be mad at me for leaving you and Mommy but I had to, by now you should know what cheating is and she was with another man named Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy. Now I know I let you listen to that band but there was a reason why I took you out so much when I thought your mother was doing naughty things in the bedroom. I should have broken up with her sooner but I knew I had to stay with you, but once I knew it was official she was cheating on me I knew I had to go. I couldn’t take you since I had been in a band and was touring. I may still be touring by the time you read this, I may not.

I care about you very much darling and hurting you was the worst thing I could have ever done but I had also moved on from your mother by this time. I don’t know who but I know that I have by the time you read this and may be happily married with another man or woman. If you end up looking for me I may already know that you are, I know people. I can only tell you one thing though if you are looking for me, I won’t be in South America or any place farther than Ontario, Canada. Some people may know that you are looking for me and don’t let them know who you are, the world is a dangerous place, Maxine. I also have done some terrible things and people will be out to get you because they know they can’t get me.

Whatever may happen, let it go and let the time pass. You will find me little one. Also if you get any strange messages, don’t be scared and leave them be. Do not respond and just read them, some may have secret messages in them though.
I can’t say anymore princess but I love you.
~AWG”
Martin says, finished reading up the note.

“Okay so now we know that your dad is a rockstar possibly and is oh how do I put this...a criminal!” Razor exclaims.

“I’m just in shock, plus a good question is how the hell does he know we were going to look for him?” I say.

“It gives us an excuse to go to Canada though.” Justin says.

“We also now know that one of your friends was doing something with my mom.”

“I’m trying to get that out of my head thank you very much.” Razor speaks.

“Guys squabbling isn’t going to help.” Martin speaks up.

“You’re right. But the question is, where are we going to next?” I ask.

“Canada!” Justin suggests.

“Yeah, plus Matt and Leda are up there.” My blue haired friend says.

“I haven’t talked to them in ages, mind if I come with?” Martin asks.

“Who the hell are Matt and Leda?” I ask, really getting annoyed about not knowing.

“They’re famou-.” Martin starts to say but Razor puts her hand over his mouth.

“Shut the fuck up before I tell you that you can’t come with.” The mad teenager says.

“Dang woman, feisty much?” Justin says, taking a step back.

“Wait you know I have a good question, shouldn’t we also talk to Pete too?” I ask.

“We will, but knowing my buffoon of a friend I’d like to kick his ass in person.” Razor says, pissed off.

Justin finds Razor’s cell phone and starts going through her contacts.

“Justin what the fuck are you doing with my phone.”

“Shush I’m calling someone.” He says.

“What is our idiot friend doing?” Razor questions.

“I don’t even know anymore on what goes through that hollow head of his.” I reply.

“I thought you told my mom he’s in college.”

“I told you two to shush. Now shut up, he’s picking up.” Justin says.

“What the-?” I say before I get cut off with Justin’s voice.

“Hey is this Pete Wentz?” Justin says, putting the phone on speaker.

“Yeah, what’s it to you and why are you on Razor’s phone?” Pete says.

“You’re an ass and screwed with my best friend’s mom over ten years ago.” Justin says with fury.

“Who are you seriously and where is Razor in all of this.”

“The name’s Justin and she’s right here.”

“Pete you fucker!” Razor screams into the phone.

“What the heck did I do?”

“You know Lisa Gaskarth don’t you? And don’t lie to me because I’m coming after you.” Razor and Justin scream.

“Guys will you calm down?” Martin says, not wanting a huge fight to go on in his house.

“Martin?” Pete says.

“Tell me if you know her Pete or I will come to your house when you are sleeping and trust me, you won’t remember anything after you wake up.” Razor yells loudly.

“Fine I know her, plus why do you want her?” Pete says, not caring about anything.

“I’m best friends with her daughter you big dummy. I’ve told you tons about Maxine.”

“Oh that Maxine, look I didn’t know she had a daughter. The only thing I knew was that by that time Lisa and Alex broke up.” The man on the phone says.

“But my parents didn’t break up till late 2,003.” I say.

“Pete when did Lisa tell you that her and Alex broke up?” Martin says into the iPhone.
“She told me that they broke up in 2,001. I never saw Alex unless we were on tour, but that was long after.”

“Okay, so now we know my mom is a lying whore. Yup nice to know now.” I say, pacing around the room.

“Wait what tour?” Justin asks.

“I was told not to tell you guys what is going on. I’m sorry.”

“Did my dad get in contact with you.” I ask him.

“Yes, but like I said I can’t tell you anything.”

“Pete you know I still am gonna go to your house and yell at you right?” Razor says.
“Oh yeah. I know you Raze, what happens will happen to my face.”

“Well we gotta go Pete, sorry for screaming at you.”

“See you.” Pete says and Justin hangs up the phone.

“So who wants to go to Canada?” Razor says and Martin goes upstairs to get a bag of stuff for long journey.

Notes

I just made my goal today, write one chapter before 6:00pm EST. I plan to do that with all my fics, so for a few days you may get many chapters of this fic or another. I may start up another one just because once I get some different plots down.
Also I'm sorry for making Pete seem like an ass but I had to so I could make it work with the fic and new characters are going to make an appearance to the fic!
Maybe Maxine will stop being a pain to Razor about Matt and Leda. Also now we know that Martin will come along for the ride!
I love this fic so much, even though its nothing like I planned orginally I love the fact that it is going perfectly,
And many thanks for everyone commenting,
Till darkness completes us,
Sarah's Butterflies.
