Chapter 1

Black Sheep by Gin Wigmore

The thing about planes was, they were small.

They were stuffy, and there was always some annoying little kid kicking the back of her seat. It didn't matter if she'd only been on one 4 times in her life, it was enough for her to build a natural resentment towards them.

Adelaide was going back home. No one knew of her return yet, well no one but her best friend. Everyone else was completely clueless, even her own mother. She was actually a bit terrified of her mother's reaction, seeing as she was the one who sent her to New York.

It was only natural for her to be a little restless. Excitement, impatience, and boredom all coursed through her being as she sat in the plane, playing Temple Run and listening to Kurt Cobain's beautiful voice through the small speaker of her earbuds, three days before school started.

Leaving New York, now that was something she was a little upset about. She loved New York, she did, even though sometimes she got a little impatient and almost always ended up shouting at those who wouldn't get out of her way, it was still a blast. What she didn't love, however, was her father and his never ending stream of girlfriends.

The back of her seat suddenly jolted as she thought about the girlfriend that sent her flying back to Beacon Hills as soon as Adelaide heard her screeching voice, and she closed her eyes praying for the patience to not smack a bitch.

It was the same kid that had been using her seat as a kickball for the last four times she'd been on a plane. It had to be, and she swore that kid was definitely Satan's spawn.

She decided it didn't matter after one particular blow sent her phone flying across the isle.

Her face was red with anger and her fists were clenched as she turned to give the kid a piece of her mind.

"Listen here you little shit, I have had enough of your kicking and crying. I am tired, annoyed, and very close to punching you in the face. Stop kicking my fucking seat." the boy looked to be about 10 years old, and terrified.

Thankfully, the lady next to him, his mother she presumed, was in a deep slumber. If she would have heard Adelaide screaming at her kid...well, that would've been awkward.

Unfortunately, the rest of the plane, was not. Most of those around her looked at her with disapproving glances that she ignored completely. It wasn't like they were the ones getting kicked, assholes.

She turned back in her seat and resumed her previous position.

When her earbuds were once again plugged in, she tried to get as comfortable as possible. The more she thought about it, the more she hated what was bringing her back home. Time seemed to fly by as she thought about what happened in the last 4 months.

New York was a great time, one of the best, but that wasn't all it was. It was also pretty fucking horrible. There were bad people that did bad things and hurt good people that did bad things for a good reason. It was a big mess and definitely not something worth repeating. Especially when-

Adelaide was jolted out of her thoughts when she heard the voice of a flight attendant echo throughout the plane.

"The plane will be landing in approximately 5 minutes. Everyone, please remain seated until further notice. Thank you."

She blew out a sigh of relief.

"Finally."

.

As soon as she was out of the plane and in the actual airport she checked her phone. Just as she suspected she had 1 message.

Her piercing blue eyes scanned the text message lazily.

Asshole Bestfriend: Hey, I'm here, where the hell are you?

She managed to roll her eyes before texting back: Calm your tits, I just got out. Better yet, where the hell are you?

Although her face was void of any make up, and her strawberry blonde hair was pulled into a high pony tail she still managed to ooze confidence.

Her denim shorts and marvel muscle tank wasn't enough to keep her cool, and small beads of sweat started at the base of her neck. She was just standing there with her suitcases behind her just as many others were.

When she decided she wanted to sit down, she passed the kid that had been kicking her seat for almost the whole flight back. He turned around and caught sight of her familiar face, he immediately cowered behind his mothers taller figure.

Yeah, that's right, hide behind mommy...dickwad.

The satisfaction that came with his reaction was a little mean, but whatever. It wasn't that she liked having people fear her...or maybe it was, but she only got along with one kid, and that little shit was definitely not it.

After she waited for 5 minutes, she decided to call him. There was no reason for him to be taking so god damn long to simply text back.

She put the phone to her ear after punching in his number. After 3 rings, his baritone voice reached her ears.

"What?" she could tell she was distracted.

"What do you mean, what? I've been waiting for you for the last million hours, asshat. Where are you?" She crossed one leg over the other and her converse clad foot bounced with impatience.

"I've run into some minor complications." as soon as she heard those words, she knew what he meant, and she was not happy.

He just left her hanging, all because he saw a cute guy.

That little shit.

"Alexander Devereux, you get your ass here right this instant or I swear to god I will send everyone the picture." when the words left her lips all she heard was the sound of his small gasp. He knew exactly what she was talking about.

"You're not the only one with the incriminating photos, babe." she could basically hear the smirk on his lips as he said it and she rolled her eyes. Well, that didn't work.

"Aleex." she nearly whined into the phone, "I'm hungry, and I've been sitting in a plane for a billion hours with some annoying ass kid kicking the back of my seat, and-"

"Oh my god, shut up." Alex cut her off and she could already see the roll of his eyes and the quirk of his lips. "I'll be there in a second."

She hung up with her lips curving into a small grin. She missed him so much.

Whenever she'd find herself in some new, wild adventure in New York she couldn't help but wish that her best friend was with her. How he'd react to the beauty of New York, what he would do to make it more fun, or what he would have told her father's girlfriends. He, just like her sister, was always forcing his way into her mind.

She finally spotted him, pushing people out of his way to get to her. His sandy blonde hair was in its usual mess, he claimed it looked sexy, and it kinda did, not that she'd every tell him that.

He'd changed since the last time she saw him, he was taller, his skin was tanner, and he was more muscular.

When he looked up, he finally spotted her. A big smile flew across her face as he literally shoved someone out of his way to get to her.

She was pretty sure she was grinning like a complete idiot; she even dropped her bags and held her arms out for him.

Sure enough, when he was close enough he pulled her too him in a bone crushing hug that she returned with the same amount of enthusiasm. She always loved his hugs the most; he was warm, and fluffy, and he didn't do those half-assed hugs. She closed her eyes, nuzzled into his familiar warmth and sighed contentedly. His familiar scent flooded her senses and she only hugged him tighter. A familiar calm settled over her as she nuzzled deeper into him. She had missed him so much more than she thought.

"You smell like sweat" he whispered into her ear as they clung to one another, effectively ruining the moment.

Adelaide let go of him and looked up at him with a small glare that held more amusement than it should have.

She punched his arm playfully.

"Shut up," she paused for a second before adding, "Now feed me."

.

After they'd gotten Adelaide bags and everything else settled, they hurried to the nearest Jack in the Box.

It may not have been as good as Tomy's Burgers, a burger joint in her hometown, but it was enough to settle Adelaide's mood.

"So, now that the beast has been tamed, are you going to tell me how New York was?" Alex asked as soon as she took her last bite of a huge burger. How someone so small could consume something so big, was beyond him.

He was excited to learn about her adventures in New York. He'd always wanted to go, in fact, he even made plans to live there with Adelaide when they were older. It was all a part of their little life plan. When he found out that she was going, he was a little jealous, but then he learned the reasons. She got to go to New York, while he had to stay in a boring, small town.

"Are the guys as pleasing to the eye as they say?" he added. The knowing smirk on her face told her what he really wanted to know. Yes, yes they are.

"New York was everything they said it was. Overwhelmingly crowded, fun, adventurous, and filled with amazing shit. I mean there was some pretty bad shit too, but overall it was fun."

"That's it? I mean...no summer fling? No clubs? Come on, you know that that's not all there was." he winked, "I want all of the details, babe." his eyebrows waggled in a suggestive manner.

Adelaide's secretive smirk made him halt in his movements. He knew that look.

"So there was a fling?" he leaned forward in anticipation. "Do tell."

"Come on, Alex, you know I don't kiss and tell." her smug eyes told a whole different story as she regarded him with amusement.

"I have a feeling it was more than just kissing Ads." his eyes were twinkling as he kept talking, "Did you luuurve him?"

"No, definitely not. Besides, it was a one time thing."

"Ooooh, scandalous."

Adelaide rolled her eyes and smiled at her best friend.

They were finally on their way back home, which was only 30 minutes away from where they were before.

15 minutes had already passed, and all they'd done was talk about what happened while they were away from one another.

Some people actually assumed they were together, which in turn made them both laugh in their faces. It was rather hilarious to think that someone that was like a brother to you, would be considered a love interest.

By the time they were 2 blocks away from Adelaide's home, Alex questioned her on what really mattered in that moment.

"Well you're going to be home in like 2 seconds...your mom's going to be pretty surprised." he glanced at her from the corner of his eye, only to find her bored expression.

"So?"

"So...you should probably call her. Like now. Just - you know - a suggestion."

"How about no?"

"Your mom's pretty scary when she's mad, Ads, actually all of you are. But especially your mom. She's like...the lady hulk when she's mad. And I don't know about you, but that shit's scary."

They'd finally pulled into her driveway when she threw him a smirk.

"I'm Adelaide Martin, sweetheart. Us Martin girls don't do fear"
