(Max POV)
Fang pulled me to the bed room I think. My eyes were filled with tears. We sat on the bed and Fang just watched me. I tried to calm down and eventually did. A few minutes later Fang broke the silence.
"Are you okay?" He said. I just nodded. "Can I ask you something?" Again I nodded. "Death-" I flinched remembering, Fang noticed but continued anyway, "seems like a touchy subject. Why?"
"A month ago, before I came here, I had a fairly normal life, a mom, sister, home. One night that all changed..." I closed my eyes and my eyelids dissolved and were replaced with my memories.
"It was raining... the doctor was back. Only difference this time, he was rushed over. Mom stopped breathing tonight. I called the doctor around 6 pm and stood by my mom until 7 when to Doctor arrived. It's 12 now. Ella is in her room staring at me from across the room. I sat at the foot of my bed, faced the wall and cried. Eventually the doctor showed up at my door and looked down.
I jumped up from my bed and ran from the room. No... No... NO! He was too late. I know it was going to happen eventually. Mom has been ill for months now, but you can't blame me for wishing she'd be fine.
I ran into my mom's room and stopped at the foot of her bed. The two nurses that came with the doctor finished putting a sheet over mom. I just watched, eventually falling to my knees. I heard a shriek and running before Ella ran past me. I grabbed her before she hit the bed and held her to me. She sobbed in my shirt and clung to me. Eventually she calmed down to the point where we could go to her room. She laid down and I pulled her blanket over her as she slipped to sleep. I kissed her head before I moved to my room. As I crossed the hall I saw a figure at the end of the hall. It was Jeb... my step-father. I ran to my room as he moved forward. He chased me to my room and stopped my door as I tried to close it. I ran my nails down his face as he reached for my shirt. He let go of me to touch the cuts on his face. He glared at me before looking over his shoulder where Ella stood in her door way. Jeb pushed me into my room and slammed the door before locking it.
I looked out the keyhole and watched as he advanced on Ella. I ran to my window and jumped out into the rain running to the front door. I got inside the house and went to Jeb's office and looked around for a gun -knowing he had one. I ran into hall and neither Ella or Jeb were in the hall by my room. I turned the corner and saw them down the next hall. Jeb was standing in front of the closet trying to kick in the door. He succeeded before looking at me. I raised the gun and Jeb froze. I moved down the hall so I was across from him and the closet. I saw Ella on the ground, watching me.
Jeb raised his arms in surrender before advancing on me. I pulled the trigger and hit Jeb's wrist and the lightbulb behind him. Jeb moved to the side and I ran into the closet, I turned Ella over, who had ended up face down. I felt something stick and wet on my fingers. I moved my hand and saw red. I screamed. Ella... I had killed my own sister. I picked up the gun again and ran out to where Jeb sat on the floor on the phone. I pointed the gun one more time and the phone slipped. I looked at him tears flowing before throwing the gun down and running out of the house.
I made my way through the pouring rain and to the side of the house. There was a rock inside a bush that me, Ella and Mom had designed over the summer. I looked at the rock as rain pelted me. Eventually the areas around me illuminated in light. I turned around and saw men with white jackets on. The grabbed me and stuck me with a needle. I instantly passed out..."
"W-when I woke up I was in Jeb's car... pulling up to the building here." I had tears following again. Fang reached out and pulled me to him again.
"Max... I never would have guessed."
"Please don't tell the others."
"I won't."
"Fang..."
"Yeah?"
"I'm scared... but I feel safe... here near you."
"I won't let anything happen to you, Max. I won't let anything happen to anyone."
I smiled and wrapped my arms around him while he held me. Fang eventually picked me up and laid me on my bed and pulled the blanket over me before making his way to the door. I soon heard the others coming in and asking questions. Fang just stayed silent and sat on the foot of my bed as if protecting me.
The last thing I remember is Fang whispering "I help her."
CHAPTER TWO! :D RNR! Not much to write now.
