Seth: I'm gonna supervise while Jordan's taking a nap.
Ari: Fine.
Seth: We are not JP, we don't own it.
APOV
Fang and Max had started a nasty habit of arguing like an old couple.
Except this time the kids got involved.
Nudge was crying in the corner.
Gaz was under Iggy's arm crying.
And Angel was under mine.
"I don't understand why you're supposed to save the world, all you do is bitch and moan about having to do stuff! Well news flash for you sister, you don't deal with half of the shit around here!" We could hear him yelling even though we were all in mine and Iggy's room.
"Ari I need to talk to you." Iggy whispered.
"Now?"
"I think so." Well, his sense of timing was usually spot on.
"You guys huddle together, it's gonna be okay." I said as I left the room.
As we were walking down the hall I wondered what Iggy wanted to talk about.
"I know."
Sweat trickled across my forehead. "About."
"You and Fang. I don't know the details but I know what happened."
"Oh." I had come to terms with the situation at the house when Fang had stopped being violent with me.
"I yelled at him. Screamed is more like it. He's not going to be violent anymore, and in fact I think he's becoming more receptive to the idea of you."
"Thanks Igs." I gave him a big hug. "But we should get back to the kids."
"I can't deal with you when you're getting all PMS!" I heard Fang yell as he crashed out of the door.
"Go Ari, I'll stay with them." Iggy looked at me with those pale eyes, and for once I felt like I could be seen; not just by him; by anyone.
I ran out the door and followed fang at a distance so he didn't notice me.
He eventually settled with his legs hanging off of the cliff.
I hid behind a rock as he popped in his mp3 player to some speakers.
That was the thing about Fang, he never listened to his music on shuffle, he would always listen to one song repeating until he got tired.
I heard Chris Daughtry pop on the speakers and he started to sing along. I thought he was singing "Sorry" for Max.
But on the end of the third time around, I heard him say one word before the song started again.
"Ari."
That's when I knew what to do.
He started singing.
Will you listen to my story?
It'll just be a minute
How can I explain?
What ever happened here
Never meant to hurt you
How could I cause you so much pain?
When I say I'm sorry
Will you believe me?
Listen to my story
Say you won't leave me
When I say I'm sorry
Can you forgive me?
When I say I'll always be there
Will you believe
Will you believe me?
I came out from my hiding place and began to sing with him.
All the words that I come up with
They're like gasoline on flames
There's no excuse
No explanation
Believe me
If I could I'd undo what I did wrong
I'd give away all that I own
He stood up and we began to walk closer with each phrase.
When I say I'm sorry
Will you believe me?
Listen to my story
Say you wont leave me
When I say I'm sorry
Can you forgive me?
When I say I'll always be there
Will you believe
Will you believe me?
I stayed silent for the next part as he sang with pleading eyes.
If I told you
I've been cleaning my soul
And if I promised you
I'll regain control
Will you open your door
And let me in?
Take me for who I am
And not for who I've been?
Who I've been...
When I say I'm sorry
Will you believe me?
Listen to my story
Say you wont leave me
When I say I'm sorry
Can you forgive me?
When I say I'll always be there
Will you believe?
We were face to face now and our hands were clasped together.
When I say I'm sorry
(When I say I'm sorry)
When I say I'm sorry
(When I say I'm sorry)
When I say I'm sorry
Can you forgive me?
When I say I'll always be there
Will you believe?
With those last words, our lips were seconds apart, but I pulled back.
"Fang, if you want me back." I paused. "We need to take some time."
"Okay. I'll." He took a minute. "I'll wait forever Ari. Just please forgive me."
"It's okay." He smiled at me as a tear fell down his cheek.
I grabbed his hand again and smiled.
"So, does this mean we're back?" He asked me.
I thought for a second. "Let's see how this goes."
He smiled and gave me a hug.
And I never thought it would happen again, but I hugged back.
Seth: So he's awake now, good job all. You've got this covered. Later.
Ari: Phew.(Puts out a small fire.)
Fang: As always, review.
Wishing you Black skies and Clearwater.
