Maximus:
Of course, Emmet came in like a hero. I should have known, he had planned the whole trip. He had taken everything into consideration. He had placed cameras near the edges of the decks so that he could monitor any unfortunate activity, or at least have evidence if something like this ever happened. And in this case, it worked.
"Wait, you pushed me?" Lamar stepped in, pointing at Lucy.
My eyes kept drifting toward Helanie. I knew she wasn't very happy with us. We had all let her down, especially after she found out I had hidden the truth about Emmet from her. I could tell she wasn't pleased. She didn't complain again, but I knew she was still upset.
I didn't really have an excuse for myself, except that I couldn't bring myself to say something like that about my brother. Even though I always argue with Emmet, it's mostly one-sided. Because I want his attention. Because I want my brother to care. I want us to be close again.
