Cat?

Chapter 44

I woke up to a noise I looked at the clock, 5:58 AM...ugh, can't I sleep without someone or something disturbing me?

I sat and rubbed my eyes, I looked out the window and froze in shock, there was a little black, white, and orange-colored cat pressing its paws on the window. It looked so cute and sad.

I opened the window and the cat jumped in meowing. Aww, it curled up in my arms. I looked at its neck to check for a collar, I pet the little cat, I got up with the cat in my arms, I quietly went to Adam's room, the lights were on, I knocked, Adam yanked open the door, "What?"

He looked down at what I was holding, "A-a cat? Where did you get it? Can I hold it?"

I handed him the cat, it opened its eyes meowing, it looked like it was trying to get out of Adam's arms. The cat was rolling around and kicking about.

Adam handed the cat to me, "So, where did you get him?"

Him? I lifted it's leg...okay, it is a boy, "He was making noises outside of my window, so I opened it and he jumped in." I scratched behind his ears, he purred and nuzzled my hand, meowing.

Adam looked down at the cat, "Aww, so cute!"

I smiled, "So, can we keep him?"

Adam looked over at me, who will take care of him while we're at school or away on vacation?" He asked while scratching the cat's chin. The cat meowed.

Aww, I sighed, "Maybe Thomas will agree to take care of it if we beg him?"

Adam shrugged, "Maybe, we'll ask him later, at a reasonable hour."

I nodded, "I'm going back to bed then."

Adam nodded, "Okay, come out when it's time to leave."

I looked at the cat, "Where do we put this little guy?"

Adam took him from my arms, "I'll give him a bath, he needs one, heaven knows where he has been."

Adam proceeded to talk to the cat as if it was a baby, "Oh aren't you just the cutest little thing? Aww, you're so cute. Let's get to the bathroom so we can get you nice and clean."

I smiled, I walked back into my room. I saw my empty suitcase, whoops, I forgot to pack. I opened my closet and grabbed my clothes. I grabbed my underwear, bandages, shorts, a pair of pants, and shirts.

I plugged in my Kindle and phone to charge them, I set the alarm to 9:30 AM.

I crawled back into bed, sighing I fell asleep.

I woke up a few minutes before the alarm rang, stretching and lying lazily on my bed for a few minutes, I sighed, ping ping, someone was texting me.

I rolled off the bad and landed on the floor, I dragged myself to my phone, unplugging it, I unlocked it, I pressed the message.

Texting:

Alex: I'm going to come in 20 minutes to puck you and Avery up.

Me: Okay, see you then.

Alex: Yep.

Not texting:

I put my phone, Kindle, and charger into the suitcase. I got out of my room and found Adam and the cat sitting at the table, the cat was sitting on the table.

I went to the fridge and got my milk. I grabbed cereal from next to the fridge. I grabbed a bowl and a spoon.

Reaching out a hand, I scratched under the cat's chin, "Hey there buddy, how are you doing?"

He meowed and nuzzled my hand before laying down on the table. I poured my milk into the bowl and then put it back in the fridge, "Hey, Adam. We need to think of a name for the little guy."

Adam was petting the cat, "Hm, yeah we do, we also need to make sure he isn't someone else cat. We should put up a flyer."

I nodded, pouring in the cereal, "Yeah, but we need to call him something."

Adam thought for a moment, "How about, Little Buddy?"

I ate a spoon full of cereal before answering, "Yeah, sure. That works."

Adam got up and took a picture of Little Buddy, "I'm going to go make the flyer."

I finished my food and looked at Little Buddy, "Come here, Little Buddy." The cat got up and walked over to me mowed, jumping onto my lap. I pet him gently. He purred, he was so cute.

A few minutes later, Adam came into the kitchen, holding a few pieces of paper, they were probably flyers, "I'm done, I made 5 flyers."

He handed one to me.

Flyer:

We Found A Cat:

Fur Color: White, black, and orange

Eyes: Yellow

Picture of cat here.

Where to get him back: XXXXXXXXXXX

I showed it to Little Buddy, "Do you approve of it?" He stared at me lazily, "Meow." I took that as a yes.

I handed the flyer to Adam, putting Little Buddy on the floor, "Alex says he'll be here in a few minutes to pick us up."

Adam smiled, "Yippee! Oh, I need to call Thomas and ask him about babysitting the cat."

I nodded, "I'll put one of the flyers outside while you're doing that."

After we finished doing that, and Thomas had agreed, I texted Alex to ask him if he could pick up some cat food, a cat food, a cat water bowl, and a cat collar while on the way to pick us up. I promised to pay him back. He said yes, as long as he got to pet the kitty. I, of course, agreed to that.

A few minutes later Alex arrived here with the cat food and collar. He immediately grabbed Little Buddy and started snuggling him and saying how cute and soft he was.

When he finally let him go, I put on Little Buddy's collar for him, he meowed and pawed at it, aww, so cute.

Adam paid him back the money, thanking him for helping us.

Alex smiled, "No problem."

Ding dong, the bell for our apartment rang, Thomas was here to pick up Little Buddy.

I opened the door, "Hey Thomas, Good morning!"

He smiled, "Hello, Mi-, cough cough, young master."

Whoops, I didn't tell him about Alex, "I whispered to him, "Sorry for not telling you."

He patted my arm, "All is fine. Now, where is the little furball?"

Alex walked up to Thomas, "Hello, I'm Alex, and here is the little furball named Little Buddy." He handed Thomas Little Buddy.

Thomas gently took him in his arms, "Hello, I'm Thomas, Avery, and Adam's driver. And now also their cat sitter. I'll take my leave now, nice to meet you, have a nice day, young masters."

I waved, "Bye Thomas, take care of yourself and Little Buddy."

He waved back as much as he could, holding a cat and the cat's things.

Alex said, "Okay if you guys are ready, let's go."

I nodded, "Okay, I'll get my bags." I paused, "What is your band name? I forgot. I'm so sorry!"

Alex shrugged, "Meh, it's fine, were called The Mortal Instruments."

Adam nodded, "Adam? Can you help me with my bags?"

I sighed, "Yeah, sure."

We grabbed our bags and Alex helped Adam with one of them while I carried one of her bags and my own bag.

We put them in the trunk, we got in the car and Alex told his driver to where to go.

After a few minutes, we arrived at Alex's house, we got out, "Thank you for the ride."

Alex ushered us to where the tour bus was at, "Okay, my bandmates are already here, let's got meet them, they want to meet you."

We walked over to the bus, Alex shouted, "Hey, dudes! My friends are here."

They guys turned around, "Finally." They walked over to us.

The tall guy with blonde hair and green eyes smiled, "Hey there, I'm Wade the bassist, nice to meet you." He held out a hand.

I looked over at Adam, he looked like he was about to faint, I smiled, I shook his hand, "Hi, I'm Adam Darkwaters, nice to meet you, right next to me, the frozen still person, is my sister Avery Darkwaters."

I nudged Adam with my elbow, he snapped out of it, 'Hi! It's nice to meet you!" I smiled.

Another guy walked up, he was skinny and a little on the short side, he had black hair and brown eyes, "Hi, I'm Ethan, I play the guitar, nice to meet you, Adam, Avery."

I smiled, "Hi."

Adam nodded, "Hi, nice to meet you!"

The last guy walked up to us, he had brown hair and blue eyes, "Hello, I'm Kit the drummer." He held out his hand to me.

I shook it, "Hi, nice to meet ya."

Adam nodded, smiling, he seemed to be out of his daze, "Hi, nice to meet you. Big fan of you guys."

They all smiled, "Good to hear, now let's go, we need to get this show on the road."

And thus, I met The Mortal Instruments band.
