I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING

Sorry, wrote it but never had time to upload it.

I knew she was lying the second I heard Gazzy tell me that freaked up story about twilight. In fact, just last week, Nudge told me she was threw with twilight and everything it stands for. I know stuff about Nudge that not even Ella knows. I know she still worries about erasers and the school. I know she hates Disney channel and pop music. I know that her favorite color happens to be brown and not hot pink. I know that she loves to smile, because she believes when she smiles, everyone else does too. I know that she would rather give her arm than to see anyone suffer. But what I didn't know, was why ever since I moved next door, she hasn't been over once to see me.

Maya hasn't been the same since our mission has ended. She's getting clingy, and every time someone mentions Nudge or Max's name, she stiffens. It's getting harder and harder to talk to her without comparing her responses to Nudge's. Nudge doesn't curse like a sailor. But Maya does. Nudge may not know how to cook like Iggy, but at least it's edible. Maya's food gave me the stomach virus. Nudge would listen to my music and not say a word, Maya, on the other hand, takes the stereo and throws it out the window. Yes, Nudge is a lot nicer, and sweeter, but Maya is…..she's….got pretty hair. I guess. My thoughts were interrupted by Ella walking in and throwing her arms around Iggy. At any other time, I would've suggested a room, but then Nudge walked in and my breath caught in my throat. She wasn't wearing anything special, just her pajamas, but she made them look good. No makeup and she brushed her hair, and when she smiled, the room just got a little bit brighter.

Maybe I'm conflicted, because that's the exact same thing I thought about Max when she walked in. I stood up to give Nudge her hug, but Gazzy swept in and stole it. Picking her off her feet, twirling her around a few times, then sat her down and kissed her. Right in front of me. Rage blew through me for a few seconds before I calmed myself down by going in the kitchen, making up some lame excuse about getting a drink. I knew they were looking at me, but if I didn't make any separation, Gazzy might wind up with a broken rib…..and an arm….and a leg.

It didn't surprise me that Maya had followed me. "What's wrong baby?" she purred, trying to put her arms around me. After seeing Nudge look all innocent and cute, she seemed cheap and annoying. I wiggled away from her and went to the fridge.

"Nothing." I lied. She threw me a confused look before walking out, passing Nudge on the way. Maya glared at her, and Nudge only smiled. My heart sped up, and I tried my hardest not to throw a smile back at her. I'm Fang, I don't smile.

"Hey," she said softly, ", what's wrong?" I shook my head, and she scowled. "Fang, I've known you for basically all my life. I know when something's bothering you. Would you just tell me?" I sighed, but still wouldn't talk. She got this hurt look on her face, but she wiped it clean before I could even process it. "Is it about Max? And Maya?" she asked. Before I could even answer, she shook her head. "Fang, you have got to move on. You have Maya now; you cannot keep clinging to Max." I shook my head.

"But I'm not." And the moment I said that, it became true. Sure I love Max. I love her a lot. But when I hugged her, I realized I wasn't in love with her. Nudge still looked doubtful, so I grabbed her shoulders and took her chin so she could look at me. "Trust me. I'm not." I was suddenly aware of our position, and a chill ran down my spine. And it was the good kind of the chill. The chill you get when you first start dating someone you really like. The chill you get when you realize everything in your world, in your little universe, is perfect. And at that moment, I wanted nothing more than to close that little distance between us, and kiss her. Nudge! Kiss Nudge for crying out loud! I broke apart, and walked to the fridge, got the jug of milk, and ran out, leaving a confused Nudge, and taking a very confused Fang.

~Angel~

They don't know, but I saw what happened. Fang came out, drinking from a gallon of milk, looking conflicted and scared. When Nudge came back, she looked as if she wanted to cry. Maya wouldn't leave Gazzy alone, and that kind of pissed me off. Max was still trying to convince herself that she still loved Fang, but with Dylan there, making her laugh, she was losing the battle. Before Nudge had come, Fang was doubting his feelings for Maya with Max, but then she walked in, and it's like his thoughts froze, then went into overdrive. Nudge knows that she likes Fang, hates Maya, still favors Max though she envies her, and realizes that she might be leading Gazzy on. Ella can't stop worrying about Nudge, even with Iggy standing right by her. Iggy feels that his whole family is about to split to pieces, and half of Fang's flock (Sam and Kate) are ready to leave, while the others are wanting to stay around to see how the drama is going to pan out. And Gazzy, my poor, hopeless brother, loves Nudge, and thinks that she loves him back. He's prepared to propose in just a week even though they're only kids. And for once in my life, I was absolutely speechless.

"What's wrong Ang?"Max asked. I shook my head, all of their emotions, their doubts and fears pouring into me, rendering me speechless.

"Are you sure?"Nudge asked, coming over to sit next to me. I took her hand, and squeezed lightly.

"I'm fine."I said softly. I wanted to help all of them. I wanted to tell them it would be alright, but these were some serious problems. Problems that I couldn't easily solve by myself. But this was my family, they were my everything, and I was going to try. "I'm fine." I repeated, and looked at her and everyone else. "And soon you will be too."

Whatcha think?
