Here In Your Arms
Chapter 4: Trusting
Disclaimer- ok guys I am getting tired of these since I have nothing new to post…as always I do not own anything but Luke Sam and Ryan. I am not going to post a disclaimer again unless this changes!
MAX'S POV
They have wings. Just. Like. Us. I know I had my mouth open and I quickly shut it again. I did sooo not want to look stupid in front of these guys. I stared at Fang and could tell he was just as surprised. I stepped around them and banged on the two doors across the hall from us. I knew they would come out soon. I turned back toward the guys. "Well, that explains a lot actually." I was at a loss of words. I didn't know why they were here or anything. But as if reading my mind…could he maybe? Ryan answered my question for me. "We are here because you guys are the only mutants we know that have successfully escaped the school…besides us that is. We were kind of hoping that we would be able to hang out with you guys. We have no idea how to do anything really." By this time the kids were out and staring at the guys kind of frightened. I watched Angel for any signs of danger in them. She seemed to be concentrating on them hard. "Um...right…well…guys? Umm…how bout we talk about it. Excuse us." I shut the door in their faces and fell onto the bed. Oh. My. Gosh. That's a lot to deal with.
They all stared at me. The younger kids not really knowing what was going on. I knew the guys were right outside the door so I started whispering. "Ok guys. We need a vote. Do we want to help them out for a couple of weeks so they can get the hang of everything? Or should we dump them right now. Angel were you picking up anything?" I sat down on the on the edge of the bed by Fang.
"All I could get were visions of a stone room that was really cold, and violent images, and…it was awful Max! The white coats…the pain…" She trailed off and stared into the distance. Nudge grabbed her and hugged her.
"Guys I think they could really use the help. I know I hate it when people tag along with us…but after what Angel just said, it sounds like they have been through a lot. Just be careful of what you say around them. I'm not sure if we can trust them yet. Angel if you hear anything let us know ok?" She nodded and I looked at Fang. He nodded and I knew he was ok with my choice.
We all stood up and walked toward the door. I opened it and just as I had expected they were standing their waiting for us. I smiled at them. "We would be happy to have you guys hang out with us for a couple of weeks." I hoped I was doing the right thing.
"Thank you so much Max. We won't let you down." They all smiled at us and I noticed Angel and Nudge glance at each other and blush a little. "Umm we only have three rooms. But I don't think we will be staying here that long anyways…" I glanced around and Iggy spoke up. "Me and Gassy can move in with Nudge and Angel for the rest of the day and you three can take over our room." I swear I could have hugged him when he said that. That meant that me and Fang were still alone together.
Luke's POV
The plan was working perfectly. We had stood close to the door while they had talked it over. We heard everything. We smiled to ourselves. Not much longer till we would be free from Max and the white coats, and everyone. We smiled when they told came out and told that we could stay with them and take over the guys room. Perfect. Now the hard part came. Getting them to trust us. The kids decided to go downstairs to the pool and I told Max and Fang I would watch them since I could tell something was happening between them. Not a good thing for me, but I could deal with it. After the twirps, and my friends were in their bathing suits with bath towels wrapped around them we headed downstairs. Angel Nudge Gassy and Iggy. I could remember that. No problem. Ryan instantly started hanging out with Angel talking to her and making her laugh. That's my boy. As soon as Sam saw Ryan doing that he instantly went over to Iggy and Nudge and started talking. Gaining trust, they had told us this would be the hardest part. I was beginning to think otherwise. So far it had been pretty easy. I laughed to myself as I thought about what was going on upstairs.
Max's POV
I was so excited when Luke had told us he would watch the kids. Fang and I had a lot to talk about. The kiss…what it meant…everything. As soon as we heard them run down the stairs we sat down on the bed together and stared at each other. "Fang…I love you." I looked into his eyes and noticed a flicker of something pass through them quickly. "I love you to Max. I have for a very long time." He leaned and kissed me. My favorite song played on the radio by the TV. Here in my arms by Hellogoodbye.
I like where we are
When we drive in your car.
I like where we are…here.
I pulled back from the kiss loving every second of it. Me and Fang were finally together. How long had I been waiting for this day? We stood up and walked into the hall down to the pool. The kids were all in the pool and Luke was sitting at a table staring at them looking half asleep. I walked past him and jumped gracefully into the pool swimming quickly toward Angel. This was the perfect day. Nothing could go wrong I just knew it. We must have swum in that pool for about five hours before we got tired and our wings were so soaked and heavy we didn't think we would ever be able to fly again. I know this sounds weird but I totally trusted the new guys. I knew Fang didn't like them. I could tell every time we got around them he got tense. But for some reason…and I had noticed this in Nudge and Angel to…I was perfectly calm around them nothing was ever wrong. It was peaceful. That was why I set Luke on first watch that night. So he could prove his trust to us.
LUKE'S POV
I knew they would trust me. Only about two weeks now and the plan could finally take place. But first I had to get past tonight. The first test. Ari would be here any moment now I knew he would. I leaned against the wall in the hall way and put on my head phones. Leaning back my head I listened to Chemical Romance's Welcome to the black parade.
When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band…
BANG. The door at the end of the hall that led from the stairs flew up. I hopped up and hid in a hall leading off the main one that was dark. I crouched low and listened for Ari and the group to go into Max's room which I had left unlocked. Ari met my eyes before walking through the door. Three…Two…One. I hopped up and ran toward the room where I heard Max Scream and saw Fang taking on about three Erasers on his own. Ryan and Sam were spending the night in the other kids rooms so I knew they would make sure everyone was asleep. Max was being cornered by Ari and another Eraser. Separated from Fang. Max saw me in the doorway Luke help! Ari grabbed her and pulled a bag over her head. I rushed him and pulled his wings tight against his back. He screamed and collapsed then jumped back up and punched at me. I ducked and saw Max take care of the other Eraser then run to help Fang. Good. All was going like planned then. I hit Ari hard on the back of the head and he stumbled back. Looking at the rest of his team which was about two people including him left he whistled and ran out the door with the other two at his heels. "I'll be back." He screamed at us.
Max was breathing fast hugging Fang and he was staring at me. "I thought you were on watch." He said coldly.
"I was. I was in Sam's room because he called for me. We have bad dreams sometimes, surely you can understand that." I glared back at him. He shut up and crossed his arms over his chest.
Max stared at me. "Thanks Luke." I figured that was all I was going to get out of her so I walked out of the room and sat back down in the hallway.
