The Foster Kid (Part 4) (A Foster The People Fan Fiction)

Birthday Surprise

            “Deal!” Pontius agreed.

            Guess what? I lost.

            As I was dragging the bag outside Mark’s house, when a car pulled over. With the scorching sun, I had to squint my eyes to see who it was. Two guys came out of the car. My chest almost exploded from the excitement, relief, and rainbows. I threw the bag at the recyclable box for cans and quickly strode towards the car. He was leaning on the car with his arms widely extended. I was as excited as a little kid, more actually. I ran to him and flung my arms around him, “DENIM MAN! YOU’RE ALIVE!” I rested my chin on his shoulder,

            “Yea, kid.” He chuckled, “I’m alive.”

            “I missed you!”

            “Me too.” He kissed my cheek,

            “Are you okay now?”           

            “I’m okay now.” He pulled away and held me on the arm, “Did you get the note?”

            “Yes.”

            “Did you give it to Mark?”

            “Yea…”

            “Thanks.”

            “So, uh, what did you feel before it happened?”

            “It was beating too fast, which felt really weird.”

            “Oh.” I felt sick,

            “Hey, I’m okay now.” He reassured and I nodded at him.

            “Hey, Ryan.” I shifted towards him,

            He wrapped his arm around my waist and pecked me on the lip, “Hey.”

            Isom grimaced, “Ugh, guys, please. No PDA.”

            I flushed with embarrassment, “Sorry.”

            “How’s Mark?”

            “Did you see what I was getting rid of?”

            “Beer cans.”

            “Oooh.” Ryan made an unpleasant face,

            “I know. Don’t worry, I took care of him.”

            “Did you have to pick the lock?” Isom asked,

            “Yea.”

            “Wait, you know how to pick locks?” Ryan gaped, “And you never told me?”

            “Well, whose lock will you pick?”

            “I don’t know, yours maybe.”

            I rolled my eyes, “Good luck getting it out of me.”

            “ALLY, WHAT’S TAKING YOU SO LONG?” Pontius showed up from the door, “IS THAT WHO I THINK IT IS?”

            I pulled Ryan away from Isom, “Three… Two… One…”

            Pontius, Cubbie, and Sean ran towards Isom at full speed. “About time, man!” Sean pulled him into a bear hug,
