Maggie Valley

Going down the highway with the wind blowing in my hair and listening to some old country music is an amazing feeling. I feel so free. Free from everything. It's currently two in the afternoon and I decided to give my brother, Matthew a call and let him know what's going on and that I was on the way there. Picking up my phone I click on the contact 'Big bro' and press the call button. And like always he answers on the third ring. It's something I love about him. He rarely misses a call. "Hey sis. How's your day been?" "Hey Matty. It's been okay. I'm actually calling for a reason though." "Okay, what's the reason?" "I... um. I'm on the way to Maggie Valley." There was a short pause before he replied. "Any special reason? I mean I'm always happy to see you but you always call like a week ahead." "Yeah, I know I do but something happened and I need you. I really don't want to talk about it while I'm driving but it's about Mark. I'm about an hour away so can we talk when I get there or in the morning. I barely slept last night." "He better not have done something to you. Please tell me he didn't." "He only hit me that one day before we broke up. But I'll tell you the rest when I get there. Love you." "Ok. Love you. Be careful."  Then he hung up. I'm so glad he didn't try and force me to talk to him about it now. I probably would've hung up on him. I just know I'll get too emotional and I don't want to risk getting emotional while driving. ___________________________________________________________________________ Pulling up to my brother's house was one of the best things because I really need to get out of this truck and stretch all my muscles. It always sucked to have to drive so far to see Matthew but now I'm thankful since I'm so far from my toxic ex. I had to park in the road in front of the house because there are about five motorcycles in the driveway and none of them are Matt's unless he bought a new one. Getting out of the truck, I grab my phone and purse and lock the doors. I walk up the drive to the front door where I hear loud talking and laughter. I knock on the door and wait. After about three minutes of just standing there, I ring the door bell. What the hell is taking him so long. He knows I was almost here. Finally I hear the door unlock and the front door opens. I look up and scream 'MATTY' and then I tackle him to the ground. You can hear him groan from the impact and fall and then you hear loud footsteps approaching. But you don't care and you continue to smother your big brother. "Emma, get up. Damn why do you do that every time I see you." Matthew says. "It's because I love and miss you so damn much Matty." I tell him while getting up. Once he's standing he wraps me in a huge bear hug. "I missed you too Em." Someone clears their throat and I look up and I see four huge guys just looking between us. Probably trying to figure out who I am but I have never seen these people before and they're huge and scary looking so as of right now I'm just going to stay quiet. "So Matty, who is this?" one of the guys says in a rough sounding voice. "Stop calling me that. Guys this is my sister, Emma." They're all looking at me. And it's very uncomfortable. "uh..hey." I spoke quietly after a few minutes of them just looking at me. "Hey cutie, I'm Bear. This is Mouse, Killer, and Smiles." The one with the dark blue eyes says, then points to everyone after saying their name. "Nice to meet yall." I said at the same time, Matt says "She's off limits guys. I mean it." They all laugh while holding their hands up. "Okay well I'm going to go lay down for a nap. Wake me up for dinner will ya?" I look at Matt "Okay but when you wake up we're having that talk about what happened." He tells me looking at me so serious. "I know but this is a private matter so it should only be us. love ya." I tell him then kiss his cheek and look over at the guys and tell them it was nice meeting them before I go up to the guest room before anyone can say anything. Once in the room, I sit my things on the dresser and go into the washroom and get ready for a nap. Right when I hit the pillow I'm out.
