Chapter 22

I watched as the flock slept in my car. I honestly had no idea where I was driving. Ugh. Voice? If you can hear me, I need to know where to go. I waited to see if it would respond; I concentrated on the road.

There is a villa in California that Jeb has rented for you. It's called Casa Tortuga. The Voice gave me directions and I could already tell that this was going to be a long night.

"Max, Max, Max! Where are we going? Can we go back to Europe? Or hey maybe we could go to Nevada or Oregon!" Nudge babbled. I was very, very close to slamming my head against the steering wheel.

"I think we should go to a beach, remember the beach bunnies, Fang?" Iggy said dreamily.

Fang looked at me. "No Iggy, I don't remember."

"I think we should go to Europe because we didn't get to go to Europe when you guys went," Gazzy explained.

"Guys! I've already got a place and I'm headed to it now. So cool your jets," I scolded.

"Where is it?" Angel asked sweetly.

"California," I stated as I rubbed my temples.

Iggy threw his fist in the air. "Yes! Beach bunnies here I come!"

"I don't think many beach bunnies care, Ig. They're too busy soaking up the sun and deciding which bikini to get," Nudge stated with a smirk.

Iggy looked at her. "Oh really Nudge? Ya really think that about the beach bunnies? Well I'm excited because I can at least see one now. Instead of Fang describing them to me," he said pointly.

I looked back at all of them. Fang was blushing. Iggy was looking up saying thank you. Nudge was looking out the window, with a little pout. Angel and Gazzy were talking to Total. It felt good to have the flock back but I was still hurt on the inside. These guys hadn't wanted me but now they accepted me with arms open. I sighed and turned back to the road.

The rest of the ride all the way of to California was pretty quiet.

Chapter 23

"Oh my god Fang. Look at the brunette!" Iggy shouted as he had his nose up against the car window. I sighed. He was still a sexist pig.

"I see her Iggy, nothing special," Fang replied with a roll of the eyes. When I looked at him, he did look clearly uninterested.

That's because he loves you Max Angel's voice rang out in my head.

Angel, stay out of my head I replied.

Ok but I'm just sayin'… And then her voice was gone. I put my attention back on the road. I had no idea if I was just suppose to go to the villa or go somewhere to check. Ugh! This was too confusing.

Calm down Max. Just go straight to the villa. Your mom already checked you in.

I smiled. My mom always wanted to help out, no matter what. I wonder if she's still in New York. "Max. You should slow down," Gazzy said quietly. I looked in the rearview mirror at him and noticed he was a slight green color.

"Don't puke Gasser. We're almost there," I cooed as I slowed down from 60 to 30.

"Where exactly are we going? To a hotel? Or a little beach house? Or maybe we're going on a boat!" Nudge babbled.

"Nudge," I warned. "We're just going to a villa that's kinda hidden."

"Sweettttttttt," Nudge whispered to Angel, who was sitting next to her.

I looked at them all. Angel was babbling with Nudge now about what they should do at the villa. Total was giving Gazzy a history lesson of the state of California. Iggy had his face plastered to the window and Fang… he was watching me.

I turned to look back at the road. His gaze had made me tremble with excitement.

I looked for the road that I was suppose to turn on and I was surprised how far back our villa was. I think I had been following the same road for about a half an hour till we actually got to the front gates {these made me paranoid} but when the gates shut I was super close to putting the car in reverse and leaving. The Voice began to soothe my nerves and telling me that I was overreacting and blah blah blah.

I parked the car and then looked at the villa.

I swear my eyes must've gotten huge and my mouth is probably somewhere by my feet. The villa was pure white and had a few windows and a few balconies. I hadn't even noticed all of the palm trees that surrounded the driveway or the house.

"If our Colorado house had been California-sized. It was totally look like this," Nudge stated with her mouth wide open. It was true though. The villa did have an E shaped to it and it was a two story house. Everyone ooed and awed as we stepped out of the car and just stood in the driveway.

You deserve a little vacation. Go relax. The Voice stated and I could practically feel it smiling.

"Well… let's go on in," I suggested as I started walking towards the front door, with the flock right on my heels.

VA Note: Shortest thing I've ever written probably. I feel like a door just slammed shut in my mind. Seriously people… I need some help.
