“I’ll never let go,” Rose promised Jack and I started up a fresh new set of tears. This movie got to me every time. It was about 4am but I didn’t care, anytime was Titanic time. After listening to the main song of the movie I just had to watch it. Liam called a few times asking if I was ok. I faked innocence and asked if there was any reason I shouldn’t be. I told him I hung up after the girl came in and figured that they needed some privacy. Then I did the one thing that hurt the most, I asked who she was. He said nobody and hung up swiftly.
“Maggie!” Lissy pounded on the wall between our rooms. “Stop blubbering like a walrus and go to sleep!” She has no sympathy before 9am. I swear I could be like dead or bloody at 8:59 and she wouldn’t care but once the second hand moves, boom she cares.
“Shhh, I'm trying to watch the movie!” I yell back.
“Oh what movie?” she pops her head into my room, looking awake and excited.
“Titanic,” I saw, not turning away from the TV.
“No I hate this part!” she says hiding her head into my shoulder. She couldn’t stand sad love stories, the same way I couldn’t stand scary movie. Like Sweeny Todd, I realize the blood looks like ketchup but its Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean on steroids! Only it’s without Orlando Bloom or Rupert Grint, ah the hot boys. Hot, British, boys. Shit, stop thinking about them Maggie!
“I know, I need a Jack, HES SOOOOO HOOOT!” I complain.
“But you’re not Rose,” she points out running my dream.
“Yeah well then Jack can be named Frank for all I care. I want Leo!” Leonardo DeCaprio, I had a huge crush on him until he turned like 40 and got old. Oh yea, and was in shutter island, again, scary movie. (AN: that movie was filmed in my town at the shutdown hospital! So was this new movie with Kate Winslet, it’s called Labor Day, coming soon to a theater near you in 2013! My bro was a background in the Friendly’s scene!) (NO JOKE!)
“I know girley,” she said petting my head like I was a cat.
“It’s over, you can look,” I joked. I looked out the window at the rays of sun just peeking out from behind the orange and pink clouds. Just then my stomach growled unattractively.
“Mickey Ds time!” Lissy jumped up. “Come on, Brendon slept over, we can go grab some grub and bring it back here.” She said walking out the door of my room.
“Lemme get dressed!” I protested. I was wearing my Jack Wills pink boxers and a grey V-neck. I threw on some sweatpants and my white TOMs, rushing after Lissy who was already out of the apartment.
“Girl, you look awesome,” she said as I raked my fingers through my messy hair. She was wearing a Lifeguard sweatshirt and white athletic shorts with black converse. She looked like an actual lifeguard.
“So do you,” I winked.
“So,” she asked sensitively. “How are you?”
“Well, um, I think I'm ok,” I lied through my teeth.
“No, honey, you aren’t,” she wrapped her arms around me.
“Why do you have to know me so well?” I asked, tears forming in the corners of my eyes.
“Because I am your sole sister,”
“Shit I forgot that,” I rolled my eyes.
“You know what we’re going to do today?”
“What?”
“We are going to sit on the couch with every imaginable junk food and watch every season of Friends.” I loved that show so much; Joey was my favorite because he was so dumb.
“And make fun of Rachel?” I asked. She was my least favorite, the anorexic slut.
“Yea her too,” the elevator I hadn’t realized we got into dinged when we reached the ground floor.
“To the creepy clown place!” since I was 14 I was convinced Ronald McDonald was a pedophile. Don’t ask me why, he just seemed like he was. I mean, look at that big purple dinosaur Barney. Creepy. We walked the block and a half from the block the cabbie dropped us off at to the McDonalds. Our building was more of a dorm building in the outskirts of the city. Since NYU didn’t really have a campus a bunch of students came early in the summer to move into an apartment, like Lissy and I did.
“Come on and go, go. You’re ‘bout to lose control. You gotta know, know. If you’re ready lets go.” I hummed the song I had heard about from Nick. It was this new up and coming Australian band called At Sunset. Their new song This Is Who I Am had been stuck in my head for about a day now.
“You know I call Harrison!” Lissy referred to the main singer of the group.
“You already have an international boy band boyfriend!” Whoa that was a lot of ‘boys’ in that sentence.
“So,” she stuck her tongue out.
“That’s alright, Jae is my favorite,” he kinda reminded me of Zayn a little bit. STOP THINKING ABOUT THEM! I commanded myself. I figured the rest of the boys knew I could’ve been watching but didn’t stop the Skype or break the two up. They didn’t care about me so why should I care about them.
“I thought it was Andrew,” She referred to Harrison’s brother.
“Can’t I have them both?” I asked and she shook her head.
“No, only one Aussie boy for you,” she pouted making me laugh.
“Can I help you,” the tired looking cashier asked.
“Yeah um, three egg McMuffins, ten pancakes, four hash browns and three orange juices.” Lissy ordered.
“Anything else?” he asked.
“Yeah, two small fruit and oatmeal bowls,” I added.
“No problem, that would be $17.85 but for you lovely ladies it’s on the house.” The guy winked and I had to hold in my laughter. He couldn’t have been over 16 and he had something stuck in his braces.
“That’s alright babe, I don’t let boys pay for anything outside the club,” Lissy winked back and I was about to die from holding laughter in. she handed the blushing boy a twenty and he handed back the change in a shaking hand.
‘Thanks babe,” I flirted back. We were probably making his day. Ok did that sound conceded or what? We got our food and began back to the street in search of the cab. Once the door shut behind us we burst out in hysterics.
‘Did you see his face?” Lissy asked between strained breaths.
“Check the receipt,” I was having trouble breathing too.
“Ohmigod!” she laughed when she saw his number scrawled out in red ink.
“I was right!” I jumped around doing a weird for of a happy dance. It was a week morning, around 6:30, and people were just starting to walk to work. I got many side glances and I pretended to dance around as a bird but I didn’t care.
“Common weirdo,” Lissy tugged my hair and walked off in another direction.
“So are you gunna call him?” I winked, knowing her answer.
“No but you should, call him up for a quickie! You know, a little hole in one, make like a fish and bite the rod.” she laughed back and I stopped walking.
“But I choke on small things,” I said seriously and she fell on the dirty street laughing so hard.
‘Oh god is she alright,” a voice came up behind me. I turned to tell him that she was but got lost somewhere in his brown eyes.
“Yeah, um, she’s, just, um, hi,” I said stupidly. He was tall, tan, and blonde. Just my type, or so I was told. He smiled down at me and crouched down to Lissy.
“Are you alright?” he asked, putting out his hand for her.
“Yeah, thanks” she smiled. How come she could act cool around boys and I sounded like Elmo. No joke, my voice went all high and weird.
“I'm Jack by the way,” he smiled at us.
“I'm Lissy and the drooling one over there is Maggie.” She said patting the invisible dirt off of her shorts. Three things occurred to me then, my mouth was open, I was dressed like a slob, and my wish for a Jack was coming true. I noticed he was dressed in running clothes and sneakers.
“Cool, are you girls from around here?” he asked me and I stood like a deer in headlights.
“Yeah were going to NYU in the fall,” Lissy saved me.
“Cool,” he said again. “I'm going back there for second term. I have to run but let me give you my number if you have any questions about the school.” He said with a wink. I smiled and he handed me a piece of paper with his number on it. He waved goodbye and continued his run.
“Aw, he’s so sweet,” Lissy said.
“And hot!” I corrected.
“I do have a boyfriend you know,” she laughed and I rolled my eyes.
“So I get Harrison,” I concluded and ran away from her with the bag of deep-fried heaven.
“Yes, you get Harrison, and Andrew, and Jae, and Jack,” she caught up with me.
“Cool,” I quoted Jack and she laughed. We ended up walking home and opened the door around 7:30. Good exercise to make from for the thousands of calories that awaited us.
“I thought you two were dead,” Brendon said in a calm voice. He was shirtless in his sweatpants and ruffed up hair.
“I can tell,” Lissy said rolling her eyes.
“We have pedophile food!” I announced bringing it over to the couch that turned into a bed for Brendon when he slept over. It was currently in couch formation.
“Maggs, he’s just a clown.” He shook his head.
“Yeah, just a clown” I said in a mockingly deep voice. Someone knocked on the door and Lissy, being the closest, yelled for someone else to get it.
“Helloooooo?” I yelled though the door. I didn’t see anyone in the peephole so I opened the door and a little boy ran right around me into the room
“Hide me!” he yelled and ducked behind the couch. What?
