Anyways, enjoy seeing as this is my first try at a fanfiction, so please try to be nice J this is what I think should have happened in the corridor at Anne's house.
EDIT: really sorry about the mass coding in the middle of this text last time, I've fixed it now though, so thanks for the comments telling me otherwise i would have never noticed. I'm thinking of writing more What should have happend's, but I'm not sur eabout it. Anyone got any favourite scenes they want me to rewrite?
I was sat silently on my bed at Anne's house. Earlier I had seen Fang kissing some Red-Haired wonder. I had just been walking off to find him, to tell him the information I'd found out, when I saw him in an empty classroom. I was about to step in, when that girl appeared, and shoved herself up against him like static. After that I had run away from him.
I hadn't spoken to him for the rest of the evening. I glanced over to the clock on my bedside table and decided it was time to tuck the kids in. I went to Gazzy first, before popping my head round the door to Iggy.
"Hey Igs. Going to bed?" I asked. I couldn't necessarily tell him to go to bed, since he was my age! He turned his sightless eyes away from where he was staring towards me.
"Yeah, sure Max" he said slowly. I was about to leave the room, before he called after me softly.
"Hey Max?" he asked and I came back in to look at him.
"What Iggy?" I said tiredly. I'd had enough of today, and I was ready for it to just go away after a nights sleep.
"Are you alright? You've seemed a little off all night" he spoke quietly. Well, I guess I haven't been acting myself, but I suppose fighting off erasers after school and looking after avian kids did that to a person.
"Yeah, I'm alright" I lied. I think he knew I was lying, because he bit his lip for a moment before nodding slowly, turning his eyes away to the spot he was staring at earlier.
"Night, Max" he whispered.
"Night"
With that, I left him and walked along the corridor to Angel's room. Anne was just coming out, and she nodded at me, before heading along the corridor. I entered Angel's room and went over to her bed, heaving Total on next to her. Anne kept telling us not to let Total onto the beds, but we always let him. There was just something about a shivering dog that makes you want to help him, whether he is an annoying talking dog or not!
"You okay?" I asked angel.
"Yeah, I hate seeing erasers. Especially Ari!" she said with a little shudder rocking through her fragile frame.
"Me too! What do you pick up from Ari then?" I asked slowly, and her brow furrowed in concentration.
"Angriness, Dark, He pretty much hates us..." she paused, before looking at me strangely. "And he loves you, he loves you a lot!"
"Well..." I couldn't think of anything to say to that, so I gave Angel a quick kiss on her forehead. "Just sleep Angel, we can figure more things out when we aren't so tired." Angel nodded up at me and I retreated to the door.
That didn't make sense. Ari didn't love me! He had tried to kill me so many different times, so why would he love me. Angel must have got her thoughts crossed with someone else. At least that's what I wanted myself to think. My brain was throbbing as I closed Angel's door and backed outside. It was there I bumped into the person I had been avoiding all day, Fang.
"They asleep?" he asked as I nodded back.
Anne came out of nudges room and waved a 'goodnight' to us, before heading downstairs. As I thought of Nudge, Anne being the last person for her to see, my eyes tightened and my jaw twitched.
"Let them enjoy it!" Fang said, reading me like a book, as per usual.
"She's taking my place" I muttered without even thinking about it.
"You're a fighter, not their mother" he said and I looked shocked.
"What! Is it because I'm not girly enough!? Not like that Red-Haired Wonder you were stuck to like glue this afternoon!" I said rather loudly back, before shoving him backwards. And, being Fang, he shoved me back, so I almost banged into the wall. I couldn't believe I was fighting against my best friend, all because he had kissed another girl. I felt like a jealous idiot, when I had no right to be jealous in the first place. I bowed my head down, my cheeks glowing bright red, as I waited for Fang to begin tormenting me. He stepped forwards until he was almost on top of me, before staring down on me.
"You're girly enough, as I remember" he said, and my cheeks flushed a different colour of pink, remembering when I'd kissed him on the beach. "And you're a great mum, but you shouldn't have to be yet..." he paused and an evil grin spread across his face. I bowed my head down before he started on me.
"So, you saw Lissa today, huh?" he asked. I kept my gaze on the floor and simply nodded. He leaned his head closer and whispered in my ear, "You were jealous."
Again, I brought my hands up and shoved him, but he was ready this time and only fell back a half step. "I was not jealous of that Red-Headed freak!" I whispered/yelled.
"Why are you annoyed with me for kissing her then?" he whispered again, stepping that half step closer again.
"I just... I don't know" I said back, dumbfounded. I tried to step away from him, but his hands came up holding the tops of my arms, keeping me held against the wall.
He came close and put his head right before mine. "Like I said, you're girly enough. There's no reason in hell, for you to be jealous."
And with that, he leaned in and kissed me, still holding me against the wall. I was so surprised at first, I couldn't move. But after a moment, his soft kiss seemed to revive me, and I kissed him back, surprising us both. We carried on kissing for a few more minutes, before Fang pulled back, and I almost groaned when we parted away from each other.
"I guess I'm telling Lissa we aren't together anymore" he said mockingly and pulled me towards him. I laughed softly and wrapped my arms around his waist.
"I think that would be best..." I whispered, my voice showing my smugness.
