"You can take away all my love
What do I need it for?
You can take away all these words
There's no meaning anymore
You can take away everything
Leave me lying on the floor
All those 'sorry's
we can't go back to the start I wanna run away from love
You can't fix me, I'm torn apart
This time I have had enough
Every time I feel your touch, I'm broken
Shattered all the pieces apart
Never thought I'd fall so hard
Putting back together my heart, It's broken"*
"Why are we even doing this?" I asked sleepily. Me, Iggy and Angel were sitting on the balcony outside, gathered around Angel's laptop. It was past midnight and I was having severe withdrawal symptoms over what they were trying to make me do. Angle turned around and gripped my shoulders firmly.
"You, Max are in love with Fang. Don't even try to deny it. We, Angel and Iggy, are helping you find him. Because that's okay now, Max. You're just about done saving the world. Well, everything is in place, we just have to keep advertising it and stuff. You have nothing to do anymore Max. Except think about Fang. And, again, don't even try to deny it." Her grip on me slackened, and she turned back to the screen, murmuring to Iggy.
"Okay" I sighed, and she smiled at me over Iggy's head. I craned my neck and peered at the screen. They both leaned back and looked at me intently.
"The plan," Iggy announced "first, we send Nudge and Dylan off to Nudge's shoot once Ella arrives with Total. It's better to have them out of the way, and that gives us the perfect cover. Now that Nudge is done, we don't need her here. She'll just get suspicious."
"You let Nudge help?"
"Well…you know we can combine our powers…? Well, I just made sure that Fang was extra extra missing you. Through his blog. Thanks to Nudge. And he has no idea!"
"And, thanks to your scary brainwashing, I bet Nudge doesn't either!"
Angel smiled mischievously.
"Hmph. And…Nudge and Dylan…?" I asked.
"Ahh…good point Max" Angel muttered. Iggy frowned and opened his mouth.
"Breakfast? Did you miss that whole performance?" I asked before he had a chance to speak. His expression told me not. Angle leaned towards him and looked into his eyes.
"Oh." He muttered after a minute of Angel sending the memory to his brain.
"Exactly." She said, straightening up. "Maybe we should send Gazzy with them? But won't he get so bored? And he's really not so much of a problem here…"
"Got it!" exclaimed Iggy, clicking his fingers. "Total!"
"Total?"
"Yeah! He'd love it, and it'd take his mind off Akila! And he's sensible…to an extent. Perfect!" I had to admit, he was right.
"Umm…I guess"
"Okay," Said Angel, getting businesslike. "We send off Dylan, Nudge and Total. Ella can help Gaz with the bomb stuff whilst Dylan's gone. Ig, you can help too. That should keep him occupied. Max, you are going to fly to- by plane, you're to conspicuous otherwise, and we don't you turning round half way there- to Jackson, Mississippi. Which is where Fang will be." I gazed at her, willing what she said to be true, but knowing it couldn't.
"But- what if he's not, how do you know? And where in Jackson? It's all so vague!"
"Calm down Max," Angle said slowly. "And keep it down, you'll wake the others. Fang is scheduled to be at some tour thing there in two days. And besides, we know exactly where he'll be. From Dylan's vision."
And just like that, I saw.
Angel is sitting, curled up in a ball, looking out at the canyon, the sky, the world. She hears the footsteps behind her, but ignores them. It's Dylan. She knows that by the way he walks…kind of clumsy.
"Angel? What are you doing here?" She sighs. She was hoping he wouldn't see her. She turns to him slowly.
"What are you doing here?" She demands right back. He looks taken aback.
"I couldn't sleep." He sighs loudly and walks forewards and sits next to her. She groans inwardly. This means he's staying. No more Angel time, then.
"Can I tell you something?" She nods, staring ahead, focusing on a star. " It's just...it's not personal, I just don't know how I feel about it…"
Well, this conversation is going places! She looks into his mind, looking for something to stop him bumbling.
"You had a dream? A vision?" She whispers. He nods.
"About Max." He says, finally meeting her eyes. "And Fang." Angel's ears prick up at that (not literally).
"What about them?"
"I don't even know" he sounds exasperated. "It's just Fang, sitting outside this café, called, like, the 'Wild Bean' or something. But he's not by himself. There's somebody else with him, just not with him at that moment. He looks bored. And then he just looks up. And there is Max. Then it stopped. The dream, I mean." He looks frustrated. Angel pats his back comfortingly.
"Do you know where…?" She asks, trying not to annoy him more.
"Jackson. Wherever the hell that is." Angel sighs. The geography lessons had failed slightly, she supposed.
"Mississippi."
Dylan smiles slightly.
"I don't even know how to spell that."
Angel laughs lightly, then looks at him again.
"Go back to sleep, Dylan. Don't worry about it." She watches him walk away, and with every step he takes, he loses a little of that particular memory. By the time he's back in bed, it's gone.
Because Angel has a plan.
"And now I'm going there?" I asked Angel. She smiled at my cooperation and nodded.
"Don't follow the vision. Just do whatever you feel like doing. Fang will come to you." She smiled, a tired, worried smile.
"What next?" I needed to know. I didn't know what I was going to do then. She shook her head slowly.
"That, Max, is up to you. We can't decide that for you."
Well, crap.
Helllooooo!
Dontcha just love Dudge! I, personally, don't know why that whole idea wasn't obvious from the start! I mean, why bother with the girl who is perfect for you when you can have moody, hostile Max??? Who already has a little soul-mate person?? Jeezum people. And, also Dudge gets Dylan out of the way so Fang can't get all jealous.
I'm guessing if you're reading this you've read Fang? Opinions? Any more members of the We Hate JP club? *looks hopefully at the screen*
Please R&R!!! Muchos appreciation! :D
