Okay, I'm sorry but this is another musical one-shot. I don't know why I like doing one-shots with music but I think it's fun. I'm weird that way. Anyway, here it is. Song: What Hurts The Most by CASCADA.
************************************************************************
He's gone…He's really gone. Fang left me again, after he promised he wouldn't. I knew he didn't sound like himself when he said it but he did say it and he never goes back on his promises.
I heard a knock on my window. I turned toward it. My breath escaped me and didn't return for several minutes. I finally started to breathe again and I ran over to my window.
It was true…What I thought I saw- what I had been hallucinating for weeks- was right outside my window: it was Fang. I glared at him and willed the tears to not spill out of my eyes. He left me! He had broken his promise!
I turned around to leave the room when I felt warm, strong arms engulf me in a hug.
"I'm sorry," Fang's voice rang in my ear.
The rain outside had become more clamorous. Fang had opened the window and had not shut it. I shrugged his arms off me. I faced him; the rain was being blown in the room by the roaring wind. My face was getting soaked. (The window was as tall as the wall- it was like a door in a way…) I stared at him.
"You think…you can just waltz back into my life after you left me? After you promised me you wouldn't ever leave me again?" My voice was steely and emotionless.
"I did it for a good reason!" He tried to argue.
I shook my head. "You have no idea how much you hurt me," My voice shook. Fang looked sincere and sad that he made me feel this way. "You promised, Fang…you promised!" My voice raised two octaves and cracked.
"I'm sorry, Max. I'm really, really sorry. It couldn't have hurt that bad…could it?" He put a hand on my arm in a comforting manner; it didn't help.
"I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house, that don't bother meI can take a few tears now and then and just let them outI'm not afraid to cryEvery once in a while even though goin' on with you gone still upsets meThere are daysEvery now and again I pretend I'm OK but that's not what gets me[Chorus:]What hurts the most, was being so closeAnd having so much to sayAnd watching you walk awayNever knowing, what could have beenAnd not seeing that loving youIs what I was trying to doIt's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I goBut I'm doing itIt's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm aloneStill harder getting up, getting' dressed, living with this regretBut I know if I could do it overI would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart that I left unspokenWhat hurts the most, was being so closeAnd having so much to sayAnd watching you walk awayNever knowing, what could have beenAnd not seeing that loving youIs what I was trying to doI'm not afraid to cryEvery once in a while even though goin' on with you gone still upsets meThere are daysEvery now and again I pretend I'm OK but that's not what gets meWhat hurts the most, was being so closeAnd having so much to sayAnd watching you walk awayNever knowing, what could have beenAnd not seeing that loving youIs what I was trying to do
What hurts the most, was being so closeAnd having so much to sayAnd watching you walk awayNever knowing, what could have beenAnd not seeing that loving youIs what I was trying to do"
I walked out of the room after I sang the song; I made sure Fang didn't see the tears coming out of my eyes as I left.
Of course, as everyone else, crying blurs your vision so I couldn't see where I was going. I couldn't run out of the house so I had to stop in the hallway. I heard my bedroom door open and saw Fang's shadow. I ignored him.
He bent down next to me and pulled me into his arms, keeping me there no matter how much I struggled.
"Fang…" I was about to yell at him to let go.
I felt him shake his head. "No…I'm not letting go. Hopefully this proves to you that I will never leave you ever again,"
"Why did you leave in the first place?"
"I thought you didn't want me around anymore," He whispered.
"I'll always want you around. You're my right hand man." I looked up at him and smiled a weak smile.
He brushed away my tears. He smiled at me and kissed me. It felt so right to have him kiss me. I turned around in his arms so I was facing him.
I kneeled in front of him and, without breaking the kiss, laid my hands on his shoulders. He put a hand on my cheek. I tilted my head to deepen the kiss and I raised myself up a bit. Now I was a little higher off the ground than he was. I broke away from him to breathe.
I smiled at him and I heard a door open. I looked to my left. There, in the doorway across the hall from my room, was a little girl named Cathy. She had dark brown hair, chocolate milk eyes and stunning facial features. She was three years old and was wearing Winnie the Pooh pajamas. Her half open eyes looked from me to Fang slowly.
Recognition dawned upon her and her eyes widened in happiness. A giant smile broke out on her beautiful face.
"Daddy!" She ran to Fang and he hugged her to him in a protective manner. I smiled. "Mommy! Mommy, look! He's back; Daddy's back!" She was bouncing up and down in Fang's arms, staring at me with glee shining brightly from her. I smiled at her; at the sight.
"Cathy, please, go back to bed. It's late," I told her gently. She looked from me to her father worriedly. "Honey, Daddy won't leave." I looked at Fang telling him that no way in hell was he leaving his family again.
Fang nodded and carried Cathy to bed. He finished with that and came back out to me. "Now…how are those hormones treating you?" He said with a smirk.
I rolled my eyes. I got up carefully off of the ground. "It's not my fault; you're the one who got me this way."
He held his hand out for me to grab and I took it. We walked back into my room- basically it was ours but with him gone it was only mine- and we sat down on the bed.
"How many more months now?" He asked.
"Two. I hate two things about being pregnant; the crazy hormones and being huge." My stomach was peeking out from underneath my pajama top. "I'm tired; let's sleep."
Fang nodded and made room for me on the bed. I laid down and he put his arm around me in a loving manner. I fell asleep with a smile on my face.

Bet you didn't see that coming, did you? I made it so vague at the beginning so no one would figure it out right away. Tell me what you think; did you think it'd be in the future when they're married? Did you guess Max was pregnant? Did you guess that the little girl was their daughter? Let me know what you think? I think the vagueness went well with the story. Did you? Answer these questions so I can make it better!
