I drank the rest of my coffee as a tall ravenette walked past our table. Ella smiled and giggled a bit.
"That's Ratchet, he works here. He's nice but I've heard he's a wild ride." Ella winked and sipped her cappuccino.
"I'd like to take little ride on him." I mumbled as I watched him as he took a cup to a man reading a newspaper.
I looked away as he turned back to go to the register. Ella nudged my foot and I looked up to see Ratchet standing at our table.
"Hey Ella, who's your friend?" Ratchet winked at me and my cheeks grew warm.
"Ratchet, this is Max," Ella smiled and stood up. "I'll be right back." Ella winked at me before left.
Ratchet sat where Ella had been sitting and I took in his spectrum piercing, his blue eyes, and his sort of spiked hair.
"I know we just met but I was wondering if you were doing anything this Friday." He asked me suddenly.
"Well I'm working until 2, but other than that I'm free."
"Then would you like to go on a date with me Friday night?"
"Sure, I guess we could do that," I smiled as Ratchet stood up and handed me his number.
"I better get to work, text me your address and I'll pick you up at seven." Ratchet winked before walking back to the counter.
Ella came back and smiled at me.
"Well?" She held out the word and I set the napkin down a slid it across the table. Ella squealed a little and bounced in her chair. I hadn't even told her about the date yet! What was she going to do when I told her about it?
"We're going out this Friday at seven; do you and Nudge want to help me get ready?" I smiled but then remembered they were both extreme fashonistas and will possibly murder my face with makeup…
"Yes!" Ella squealed and bounced more, "I'll call Nudge right now! Oh we can go shopping right now it'll be great!"

Fang POV
"Fang! Man, what brings you here?" Michael, my old band mate, asks as we do our handshake. (A/N: You know how guys stack fists -one fist- then knuckle bump, then bro-hug? No, well that's what they did.)
"What? I can't come down to see my old band mates?" I smirk and bro-hugged Ray.
"Nah, there's always a reason. Parents meeting the new girl? She the one? Do we get to meet her?" I move over to bro-hug the local British Idiot, but he just so happens to be one of my best friends.
"Gavin, I see you still have that weird ass accent that every girl loves. Ray you promised me you'd have that fixed by the next time I came back!" I smirked.
"Michael didn't smack him enough I guess. Also he needs to learn English before we can work on the accent." Ray laughed as I looked around our old practice room.
"But uh seriously, any girls you need to tell us about?" Michael asked wiggling his eyebrows at me like Iggy always does.
"Well Ella and Iggy have a new neighbor."
"You bang her yet?" Gavin asked causing me to smack him upside the head, "Fine, fine… You want to get to know her better?"
"I might want to know better… but I doubt it will happen seeing as what I just I did." I looked down at my feet wondering how I was going to tell them. Or Iggy. Or Ella. Or my mom. Hell everybody that's in my damn fucked up family! I ran a hand through my hair and looked back up.
"Fang, what'd ya do?" Ray looked at me and I looked off to the black and red electric Fender guitar that I always played at our quote 'gigs'.
I sighed and ran my hand back through my hair.
"I-" Screams. Blood curdling screams came from the house. Michael jumped up and sprinted out the door of the garage, Ray, Gavin and I in tow.
"Lindsay?! Lindsay where are you?!" Michael yelled as the four of us ran around his house looking for his fiancé.
I ran to the stairs and find Lindsay lying on the floor on her side shaking slightly.
"Lindsay, what happened? Are you okay?" I wait for a second and she shakes her head,
"Michael! I found her! Call 911!"
Michael ran into the room and kneeled in front of her while handing me the already ringing phone.
Location: San Antonio Community Hospital
Michael was pacing in the hospital waiting room; Ray, Gavin, and I stopped trying to calm him down a while ago, after finding out that only made him more stressed, which in turn made him lash out with rage. Which Michael being the 'Rage Quit' guy meant a shit ton of swearing and there little children around now…
A doctor had come out earlier saying she had managed to crack a few ribs while breaking and dislocated a bone in her arm that they had to do surgery on to fix it.
"Michael Jones?" A doctor in blue scrubs came out and Michael quickly walked over to him.
"Mr. Jones, your fiancé is now in recovery, but I would like to ask you a few questions." Michael followed the doctor into his office.
"Well this has been interesting…" I sighed and closed my eyes, leaning my head against the wall behind me.
Location: Max's Apartment
Date: June 7, 2013
Max POV
I unlocked my apartment door and walked in, turning the lights on with Nudge and Ella following close behind.
"Alright Max, go shower and we'll get things ready." I nodded and headed to the bathroom.
I walked out of the bathroom into my room, a towel wrapped tightly around me.
"Max change into your dress." Nudge handed me the dress bag and pushed me back in the bathroom. I unwrapped the towel and stepped into the dress.
"Ahh!"I fell to the floor and struggled to get up.
"Max, you alright?" Ella asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm fine just tripped on air." Ella and Nudge laughed.
I walked out of the bathroom and saw Nudge looking at my belly button rings.
"Uh, you weren't supposed to see that…" I went to grab the rings.
"No, it's fine. You're putting the rose in though!" Nudge handed me the ring and I went into the closet closing the door behind me. I pulled the dress down to my hips and took the heart pendent out and replaced it with the rose.
I pulled the dress back up and looked in the mirror hanging on the wall in the closet.
The dress was red, semi-formfitting, it has black roses, bows in the design, and bows where the straps attached to the top of the dress.
When I exited the closet (Not saying I'm lesbian!) Nudge handed me red heels that had a black bow on the toe.
I sat down on the bed and Ella put an Eiffel Tower necklace that had a heart next to the tower pendent that read "Le Taime", meaning "I love".
Nudge came over to me: she and Ella started applying makeup. Ella applied silver eye shadow and black eyeliner applying the liner to my waterline. Nudge put mascara on my top lashes and then put red lipstick on my lips.
"Done!" Ella and Nudge smiled at me and helped me up.
"I hate these shoes," I sighed and looked in the mirror.
"You look beautiful." There was a knock on the door. "Wait Max, I need a picture." I turned back to face Ella and she and Nudge took pictures on their phone.
"Okay now you can go. We'll be next door."
Ella and Nudge left as I locked the apartment up and followed Ratchet to his car.
10 PM
"Goodnight," Ratchet smiled at me and took my hand, when I started to reach for my keys.
"Goodnight," I smiled back and Ratchet leaned closer tilting his head a little and wrapping his arms around my waist to pull me closer.
I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him.
There weren't any fireworks like they say in stories, but this is the real world here.
We pulled back and Ratchet watched me enter my apartment before he left.

Earlier
'I threw a wish in the well, Don't ask me I'll never tell, I looked to you as it fell, And now you're in my way.'
"Damn it, Ella," Lindsay laughed at my aggravation at my new ringtone.
I downloaded the picture Ella had sent me and my eyes widened a little.
Max's outfit for her date tonight!
I texted Ella back asking her who Max had went out with, but didn't get a response.
"Who texted you?" Michael asked looking at our two best friends asleep in the same chair.
Mind you the chair is meant for one person but somehow they both sat in it and managed to fall asleep. It wasn't hard to believe Ray would fall asleep seeing as he could be walking down the sidewalk and fall asleep. Gavin looked a bit squished in the chair but somehow he fell asleep; both their heads back against the wall.
"Ella," I answered, "I'm going to head home."
"Alright, thanks for staying this long Fang," Lindsay smiled.
I got up and left the hospital driving home to try and tell my family.

I'm sure that's her. I'm sure she's the one who ruined my family. She was going to pay for what she's done…
Location: Fang's House- San Antonio
Fang POV
I told my mom and siblings and they cried. Angel had thrown herself on me, holding onto me as she cried. Gazzy tried not to and be strong like Dad had told him to be before he left overseas, but afterward when I was carrying Angel to her bed, I heard Gazzy crying in his room.
I laid Angel in her bed and pulled the covers over her. I kissed her forehead and headed to Gazzy's room.
I knocked on the door lightly and entered his room.
"Gaz, I'm sorry. I'm doing this for all of us. For Dad. You know I'm trying to protect all of us. Dad told me I was to protect you guys if something were to happen to him." I sighed and sat next to him on the edge of his bed.
"I know but I don't want you to go! You might get hurt or die like Dad did!" Gazzy wiped his eyes.
"I know, but I'll do my best to not let that happen to me." Gazzy nodded.
"I'm going to go to bed."
"Goodnight Bud," I got off his bed and left, going to my room.
"How did Dad do that?!" I flopped onto my bed on my stomach.
I grabbed my iPod and started blaring Skillet's song Cycle Down in my ears.
"Crashing, covered with debris, Dwelling in my own pity, Cry like I have not, Dig like I had not, I start the claw, Gotta get outta here, I've got to, Gotta get out." I sing along with the song and soon the songs over and another one of my favorite songs by them start to play and I start singing along.
"Despite the lies that you're making, Your love is mine for the taking, My love is, Just waiting, To turn your tears to roses." I had flipped over to lie on my back to be able to sing better.
"Fang?" My door opened and I pulled my earbuds out still being able to hear the music coming out of them. "I'm sorry to interrupt but, I'm proud of your decision."
"Thanks," I grabbed my iPod and I paused the song.
My mom left and I went back to singing different songs until my throat hurt and I went to sleep, still listening to music.
