Chapter: Anti-what?

Fang's POV

My phone buzzed loudly while my alarm clock screamed at me. I could hear Hannah Montana playing loudly from my sisters room. What a wake up call on Saturday morning. I slammed my fist on the alarm clock and looked at my phone.

1 new message from Iggy. It read. I sighed and opened the message.

Dude! Get off ur lazy butt and get over here! My new sister is going to be here any minute! Oh. Right I forgot about Iggy getting a new step sister today. I quickly text back.

I'm coming im coming! I totally forgot it was today…. don't judge me. I placed my phone back onto my side table and went to my black wardrobe to put on my black t-shirt and my black jeans. And continued to put on my black converse and my blackened dog tags. If you haven't noticed I like black. I grabbed my phone and slid it in my pocket. I went in the other room to get Nudge my adopted sister. She had brown hair and brown skin tone, she also had an obsession of fashion and clothes . . . She was also a chatterbox.

"Nudge! We got to go, remember Ig's getting a new step sister?" Nudge jumped up from her bed and followed me. Leaving her radio on still.

"Do you think she will like shopping? Oh this is going to be fun! We can have sleep overs and make overs! We can do each others nails and talk about boys and how cute they are! Do you think she will like that Sam guy at our school? I sure hope not because he's a piggy jerk! Don't you agree? I mean he IS cute and all bu-" I cut her off with my hand and gave her a glare.

"Try not to yap her head off." I warned.

She nodded with my hand still on her mouth. She licked it. I flinched back and wiped the saliva on my jeans. She smiled a huge smile and took off down the sidewalk. How did we get outside? Oh well. Iggy's house was next to the house across from us and was hidden in the woods. So we had to walk a little bit.

When we finally got there I looked at the familiar house that took me back to child hood memories. This was like a second home to me. It was pure white with green shutters. It had a front porch and a back one. It also had a kinda tower like building on top, that was the new girls room. I was just about to knock when Iggy raked the door open and pulled me and Nudge in.

"What if she doesn't like it here? What if she hates me and Gazzy? Will she love it here? What does she look like? Do you thin-" I cut Iggy's nervous rambling with my hand.

"You hand out with Nudge too much." I said in a mocking tone. Iggy rolled his sightless eyes and licked my hand. I flinched back. What is with people and licking my hands? Just then Dr. M came in and ushered us to the living room.

"She will be here soon and she's brining her little sister, Angel. Now that everyone is here . . . GAZZY! GET DOWN HERE." Dr. M just realized he was still upstairs. He stomped his way down and sat with his arm crossed with a very annoyed look on his face.

The door bell rang loudly in the house and Dr. M went to go get it, already knowing who it was. Iggy looked excited and scared at the same time. I stifled a laugh.

"-over there is the kitchen and in here is the living room." Dr. M led two girls and their agent (I guess) into the living room. The oldest girl (who I guessed was my age) had brown hair with sun streaked highlights. She also had blue highlights mixed in her hair. Her eyes were a deep chocolate brown and her face had no emotion on it. She wore ripped jeans and black converse with blue paint splatters on them. Her t-shirt was covered in paint colors and designs, much like graffiti. She wore a small jean jacket that had ripped off sleeves. On her neck was a necklace with millions of wings on it. Under her shirt you could see a small silver chain that hid well. The smaller girl was about Gazzy's age and had bright blue eyes and blond curls. She wore a pink dress and carried a angel teddy bear in her right hand. Her left hand held the older girls. Their agent spoke up.

"Well, Max and Angel meet the Martinez family." the smallest girl spoke up first.

"Hi! I'm Angel! And this is Max." She pointed at her expressionless sister. Iggy stood up.

"I'm Iggy." Iggy said simply. He was trying not to burst out questions.

"I'm Gazzy!"

"I'm Nudge! But my real name is Monique, but everyone calls me Nudge it's a weird and long story that I will be happy to tell you guys some time after we get to know each other! This is going to be so much fun! I can't wait to go shopping with guys because you really need a new outfit…"

Nudge stopped her after looking into Max's furious eyes. Angel hugged her sister around her legs and beckoned her to come down to her level. Max crouched down and Angel whispered in her ear. Max just nodded and her face lost all traces of emotions. Weird? Yes she talks less than me! Which is hard to pull off. Dr. M looked at their agent and was surprised to see sadness on her face.

"Max hasn't spoken in over 2 years. The only one who can get any emotion out of her is Angel." The agent explained. Wow, 2 years. Wonder why she doesn't talk. I raised an eyebrow.

"Two years? Is that possible?" Iggy asked clearly awed and concerned. Angel nodded.

"She use to talk all the time but after . . ." Angel stopped as Max glared at her.

"Sorry Max." Angel hugged her knees again. Max didn't even respond. Dr. M cleared her throat.

"Iggy, Gazzy and Fang could you take Max's and Angel's stuff up to their new rooms?" She asked kindly. I nodded and made my way over to the car outside. We brought up their bags to the tower building that had two bathrooms connected to the two guest rooms. We re-did the rooms so one was pink and the other was white. I helped with the white room because I couldn't stand the bright pink. Max was already in the white room as I came in. she sat on the window seat not moving. You could barely make out her breathing.

"Do you want me to help unpack?" I asked quietly. She just shrugged and took one of the boxes to the black dresser. Max unpacked slowly and never made a sound. I kept trying to get her to speak but it was no use.

"Max! Max!" Angel screamed as she ran into the room. Max looked ready to fight to the death but calmed down a bit when she saw Angel wasn't hurt. She must love her, Angel is the only family member she has left.

"Max! Nudge want's me to go over her house! Can I go? Please? With a cherry and sugar on top?" Angel gave Max these big eyes and Max sighed. She nodded once but held up her hand before Angel could get excited.

"You can come too, Max. Nudge won't mind." Max hesitated before she finally nodded and began to follow Angel out of the room. I followed knowing I wouldn't unpack by myself. We walked into the living room and Angel told Nudge yes. They jumped out the door and started their way to my house. Max followed silently. I took a step out the door but was stopped by Dr. M.

"Fang could you try to loosen up Max a little bit? I feel bad for the girl. You did it with Nudge and I was hoping you could do it for Max as well." Dr. M asked me kindly and brought back the time when Nudge barely spoke. I liked her better that way.

"Sure Dr. M. I'll try." Short and sweet not a long explanation on what I could do.

"I also put her in all of your classes as well as Iggy's. Watch over her please." Dr. M left me alone to walk back to my house.

When I got there Nudge was giving Angel a make over on the couch and Max was sitting in the far corner. Her face held pity and sadness, I can't help but wonder why. I walk slowly toward her and sit next to her. She's stiff and shows no emotion. She doesn't like it when people are close to her or touch her. I realized. I slowly slid to the other side of the sofa and Max relaxed a little bit.

"So Max. What's your favorite color?" I was going to start simple. Max didn't answer (big surprise) but she simply pointed to the blue paint splatters on her converse.

"Blue?" I asked, just making it clear. Max nodded. Wow movement theirs a first. It was silent, but it was a warm comfortable silence. Angel had pink makeup on her face and looked like a clown. Nudge and Angel burst out laughing and I let a small smile on my lips. Max's eyes held a emotion of happiness.

"Okay, Max your turn." Nudge said threw her giggles. Max shook her head vigorously. Angel walked over and crawled into her lap. Max was stiff for a second but relaxed slowly. Angel and Max stared at each other having a secret inside conversation. Angle looked at Nudge and shook her head.

"Max hates make overs and shopping." Angel said calmly. Max looked like very tired all of a sudden. Angel looked worried. She grabbed Max's hand and dragged her back to their house. What did I do? I followed. They got into their house running at full speed. Once they got into Max's room Angel looked frantically in Max's bag. She pulled out a bottle filled with pills and gave two to Max. Max swallowed them dry. She shook her head as if trying to clear it. Angel still looked worried and rushed into the bathroom. She brought back a glass of water which Max chugged down. I looked at my clock on my phone. It was 12:30 exactly in the afternoon.

"What's wrong?" I asked Angel.

"She needed her pills. For anti-depression or whatever." I nodded. Max looked very tired.

"She forgot to take them last night and it caught up to her. That's why she's all sleepy." Angel whispered the last part.

"How long has she had these?" weren't they suppose to work in a few months at the most. Angel's lips fell into a frown.

"Over a year. She's gotten better though, slowly." Angel looked very said and vulnerable. I felt bad that Max had to be put though whatever she was put through. Iggy came in just as Max went out cold. Angel wrapped the thin blanket around her and didn't move.

"Fang, what's going on?" Iggy whispered. He could hear Max's steady and low breathing.

"Max takes anti-depressant pills and she forgot to take them last night." Angel answered. Iggy made a shocked 'oh' face. Oh god, what is she going do to about school?
