Chapter 29: Climbing down windows? What? Never!

"Won't that make them ship us more?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" Ezra asked.

"I mean- actually never mind. Lets just go to the porch." I said

Ezra started walking to the door.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"To the front door, to get to the porch." Ezra said.

"Who says were going that way?" I asked.

"What do you mean? Where else could we... Wait. No Maudie , I'm not climbing down the window to get to the porch." Ezra said.

"Its non negotiable." I said as i grabbed his hand and pulled him to the room's window.

"I can't believe I'm about to do this..." Ezra said.

"I can." I cheekily smiled as i opened the window.

"I don't know how to do this...." Ezra said.

"Just trust me and listen to me carefully." I said.

"Fine, I trust you." Ezra said.

Ezra POV

"Good, and on second thought, just follow what i do." Maudie said.

I nodded.

I did exactly what she did.

I admit i am really scared.

But i can do it.

I think.

We were on the roof and i clung to the window sill tightly.

It was really windy.

"Are you sure i can do this Mauds?" I asked.

"Yes. Take my hand." Maudie said reaching out for my hand.

I took it and grabbed it tight.

"This may be scary but i need you to let go of the window sill now."

"WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY?" I said.

"Do you trust me or not?" Maudie asked.

"Fine.." I said.

I gulped and took my hand off the window sill

Maudie and I started sliding down the roof.

I could feel myself gripping Maudie's hand tighter

"NONONONONONO." I shouted as we were slowly reaching the end of the roof.

I closed my eyes.

Hoping i don't die.

Suddenly, we landed on a crash pad.

Of course.

Maudie had put a crash pad.

"How was it?" Maudie said with a big smile on her face.

"YOU DIDN'T TELL ME THERE WAS A CRASH PAD!" I exclaimed.

"You should have already known that i would have though." Maudie said.

"Where did you even get this crash mat from?" I asked.

"I found it Aunt Rosita's basement this morning and i thought of putting it here in case of emergencies." Maudie said.

"Did you ask for her permission?" I asked.

"No, she won't even notice." Maudie said.

"Wow, Maudie Miller has a dark side." I joked.

"I guess i do." Maudie smiled.
