CHAPTER #2

DO YOU REMEMBER?

So... ever since Jeb left I have been in charge, With(Angel:"breathe Max I think you're forgetting that")*Sighs* …..Fang at my side. And guess what! He -mindless idiot-still doesn't have a clue! It's been a year since he left.

Stretching, I extend my arms out in front of me running my fingers through my impossible bramble of an excuse called hair. Yawning, I stand. Stretching my legs from their hibernation.

"UGH! Come lay back down! No one else in the flock is up yet Max! Plus you're really warm and I am super cold. " A sleepy deep male voice tells me. WAIT! THIS IS MY ROOM NO ONE ELSE'S BUT MINE! And that sleepy voice could only belong to one guy judging on how my heart went into overdrive and my mind went momentarily blank.

FANG

Fang?Fang?Fang?Fang?holy mother of shit fuck damn fuckass damn shit!Before turning back to face him I wipe my face clean of the emotions running over it. I turn around to see Fang, shirtless(holy Hades he's hot!), hair in a cute ruffled skater boy flipped style, and my favorite smirk on his face.

"Might I ask you what exactly,"I begin deceitfully calm then I yell "Are you doing in my bed?"

Fang was full blown grinning " I got cold and lonesome, your warm and beautiful," D-did h-he just say that!? "also Angel and Nudge told me something about you," Oh hell no no no "A secret." please Zeus no no no no! "one that you've been keeping for they say a year now but they suspect that you've been keeping from everyone- especially- me." Okay, it's settled they're dead.

"I have no clue what you are talking about Fang." I say setting my hands on my hips. Yes I have no clue, I have the exact answer.

Fang gets up. Towering over me by about 6 inches (5'7-6'3), he looks down at me. He was standing so close I could feel his warm breath. Fang was leaning down slowly,slowly enough to aggravate the hell out of me. When our faces were just inches apart, he whispered "no idea?" he asks.

I shake my head 'no'. Still grinning, Fang suddenly grabbed me by the waist carefully not genteelly but swiftly, hard. He pulled me to him pressing me against his bare chest. My heart was racing.

" Still, no idea?" he asked

I gulped "not a one." I say but it was obvious he knew I was lying.

"Maybe this will help you remember..." Fang says leaning into me further, his face was so close to mine.

Suddenly, before I had known I even moved, I was kissing him fiercely, I had made the move. Fang gathered me in his arms and pulled me on to the bed on top of him his hands were around my neck, mine were tangled in his soft, dark black hair.

After awhile we calmed down. I was still lying on his chest. "I remember now. I really like-like you." that is the lame response my mind could come up with after being numbed by Fang and I's kiss. Oh hell I'm an idiot.

"I thought you would remember". Fang said grinning.

Then I hear a huge '!CRASH!'then shortly followed by a

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! Maxxx! She's gonna kill me! Help me Max!" from Gazzy.

Next was a screech "don't go cryin' to Max! Stand up and face me!COWARD!"Nudge was growling.

"He'd better stop them before they kill each other ." I tell Fang

"Hold on I want to hear how this ends out."then he looked at me "Three guesses to what Gazzy did."

"Too easy." I say "By the way she's yelling, he must have committed the ultimate offense..."

"Ruined one of her outfits." Fang and I finish together. I laughed.

Then there was a blood curtailing scream "You broke it! You broke my arm! Oh! That hurts ooh that hurts really really bad!"Gazzy yells

"It's not broken you little wimp!" then Nudge pauses "...Oh...Maybe it is."

"OH GOD! IT'S BRRRRROOOOKKKKEEEEENNNNN! Max!"

Sighing, I do a back flip off of Fang. "Show off!" he accuses. I smile at him as I race to the door. Fang was right behind me. A little too close for comfort, well, I was perfectly comfortable, it-he- just made it so hard to think strait.

We race down the long corridor, to the sound of Gazzy's pitiful wails of pain. Dylan was laughing like a madman, his golden hair tumbling over his eyes, which held tears from laughter. Angel, the cute 5 year old, was still asleep, though how she could through this noise is amazing, sad at the same time. Iggy was slowly shaking his head. Now Nudge was practically steaming, and on her mink tutu, had a chocolate milk stain on the fabric, and not even a major one! Gazzy was screaming bloody murder, his arm bent in an impossible angle, it was painful just looking at it.

"Gazzy, let me look at it." I say walking up to him. He shows me his damaged mangled arm, " Good news It's a clean brake, It'll heal faster. Wow you did some serious damage here Nudge. You need to be more careful. Do you two understand me?" I say and set his arm.

Gazzy winces, grinding his teeth. "Yes, Max." Gazzy says through clenched teeth.

" Yes, Max." Nudge replies sounding non-too upset about braking Gazzy's arm, she almost sounded triumphant, knowing that she could.

"All...right. Your arm should be healed within the hour Gazzy." (did I mention that we heal super fast?-well, we do.).

That was when all hell broke lose and we had our first of too many battles on our hands.
