ok sorry it took so long but i have been busy so srry but here is chapter 7. enjoy!
Fang's P.O.V.
So after the little incident at Target with Kristi and Jessica, we all went home. As soon as we got home I grabbed my stuff, clothes and supplies (including Max's binder) and ran upstairs into my room.
I set my bags down on the familiar black bedspread and sat down at my black desk opening my black laptop. Notice a pattern? The only thing not black in my room are the doors and the walls.
Dr. M. wouldn't let me paint the walls black so they are grey, and the doors are brown obviously. Most doors are.
I pulled up the picture file on my laptop and scrolled through them. I got Max a white binder and am going to decorate it with pictures of the flock. I chose the newest one that Max knows about, which was the one of the flock, Ella, Max's mom and Jeb.
We are standing in front of our new house. The cars are in the background and you can see the trees and cacti in the yard and along the drive. It was taken on the first day that we moved into our house.
I saved it to a new file I named "Max's Binder." The next picture was of Iggy and Gazzy holding their first bomb. They were in the kitchen of the "E" shaped house. I remember Max yelling at them to go outside.
She said they could blow it up only because she didn't want it to explode in the house, but only I know that she was secretly proud of them. I saved it and the one following.
The third picture was still of Gazzy and Iggy, but this one was of them after the bomb blew up. They were covered head to toe in soot, but they didn't care. They were just happy the bomb worked.
Ever since they still have that tiny thrill each time one of their bombs work. I smirked and pulled up some Nudge photos.
There were a lot of them. Every time I put my camera down she would take it and take repeated photos of herself. I never could delete them, because I felt like I was deleting a part of her childhood.
I never knew when that childhood might end, so I wanted to keep every part I could. Plus now I don't have to worry about that because Itex is defeated.
I chose one of Nudge modeling one of her countless outfits. Then one of her covered in flour. I remember that because it was one of the few times the whole flock had seen me laugh.
She had been trying to make dough and the bag of flour exploded on her. It was very funny, though Nudge hit me in the arm for laughing at her. It kind of hurt, but don't tell her that.
I saw one of Angel sleeping and even though I am in the picture I had to put it in. Angel is so adorable when she is asleep and I knew that Max would love it. The next was of Angel when she was really little.
She was holding a stuffed dog and sucking her thumb. Her big blue eyes and blonde curls made her look cute.
The next picture actually make me chuckle right then and there. It was of Angel and Total in New York. We were staying at a hotel and Angel was painting Total's nails bright pink and they were talking.
Then I found one. It was by far my favorite. Max and I were covered in mud, with our arms around each other.
It had been raining for forever, and our seven year old selves went out to explore, but we mostly got muddy.
I saved that as the last picture and checked my email before going downstairs for some of Max's mom's chocolate cookies. They are the best! I have fourteen new messages.
I scrolled through them and saw one from Max it said,
Fang! What is wrong with you!? Why couldn't you just tell me you wanted to go to school? I wouldn't have been mad…that mad anyway. And get out of your room!!! Seriously Mom is done baking cookies! ~Max
I smirked at the message and shut my computer and walked downstairs to get some cookies before Max eats them all. When I walked into the kitchen, Max was holding a cookie, sitting in a chair with her legs propped up.
"Hey," she said with her mouth full. I smirked and grabbed a cookie off of the rack. Then I sat down next to her and bit into the cookie.
"Good," I commented.
"Mhmm," Max replied grabbing another cookie. I smiled to myself, leaned over and snatched her cookie. She looked at her hand in surprise, then she growled.
I chuckled and she turned to glare at me, I took one look at her and got up and walked to the door. Max ran in front of me and shut the door with her foot.
She reached up to grab the cookie so I raised my hand up higher. Max's hand only came up to my forearm. So she tried to pull my arm down so she could reach her cookie, but she couldn't.
Max doesn't like to dwell on the fact that I am now taller, and stronger than she is. I think that irritates her. I waited to see what Max would do because with her you never know.
"Ow! What was that for?" I yelled surprised and shocked that she actually bit me.
"You stole my cookie!" she replied mad, "Now give it back!" And because I figure she's already mad at me I took a huge bite out of it.
"Do you want it now?" I asked with my mouth full. She looked at me…then the cookie. Then she grabbed the cookie out of my hand and put it in her mouth.
"Ha!" She said and then we heard giggles. I turned along with Max to see the kids looking at us.
I guess we might have looked a little weird. I had one hand on Max's waist so she wouldn't fall over (she tends to do that), the other was on her arm. She was pressed up against me and holding on to my arm.
The silence was broken by Gazzy who said, "EW! You ate after Fang!" I tried really hard not to start laughing. Gazzy is such a kid sometimes. It was just a cookie…that I ate off of…right before Max. Ok lets not dwell on the obvious.
"It's just Fang," Max said and I didn't know whether to be offended or what.
"Yeah well don't girls think that guys have cooties? Because I think that girls have cooties." Gazzy said confused. I smirked and let go of Max.
She went over and ruffled his hair before walking up to her room. Ella and Nudge followed.
"Hey dude what was that all about?" Iggy asked.
"It was just a cookie," I replied.
"Yeah but Max ate after it after you did. She likes you dude! Everyone knows it, just like you like her."
"Max would do that to anyone,"
"No she wouldn't. Only to you, because she likes you. That was major flirting. Big time. You are in denial bad and you need to tell her you like her before someone at school does. Max is pretty and the guys are going to be all over her…maybe some girls too." Iggy lectured.
I sighed as much as I wanted him to be wrong, he was right. Max is beautiful and guys are apt to like her. It's just a fact of life, and I don't think I could take her dating some other guy.
"Ok I'll tell her this week,"
"It's all I ask," Iggy replied.
"Hey talk to Nudge," I commanded, then smirked as his face turned a light pink.
"Um…I got to go," then he ran out of the kitchen. My smirk grew and I ran up the stair and into my room to finish Max's binder.
I printed the pictures off of my computer and got some light blue paper, (blue is Max's favorite color.) I glued everything together, but there were some blank spots so I downloaded some pictures off the internet, then printed them off.
There was some wings, a dog and some cookies, because we all know how much Max likes her cookies. I finished the binder and went to go get Max.
"Hey come here, I want to show you something," I said when I got her attention.
"Is it what you have been doing in your room all day?" she asked looking at me.
"Why does it matter? Shouldn't you come anyway?"
"I'm just curious," she replied.
"Curiosity killed the cat," I chanted.
"I'm a bird, not a cat!" she said mockingly hurt. I smirked and motioned for her to get up. She walked over to me and I told her to close her eyes.
"It's a surprise," I told her. She closed her eyes and I walked around her and put my hands over her eyes so she couldn't peek. I heard her silently exhale her breath. I know her too well.
I moved forward and led her to my room. I felt her cheeks heat up at the closeness of our bodies and chuckled.
"Ok, keep your eyes closed." I let go of her face and went over to pick up the binder sitting on my bed.
"K open your eyes," I commanded and she did. Her eyes settled on the binder in my hands and she took it slowly. I saw her studying it, then some tears streaked her face.
"Oh my gosh!" She looked up and wiped the tears away. "I love it! It's so sweet." the she reached over and hugged me.
I was in shock I mean Max is hugging me! I realized I wasn't reacting so I hugged her back. She leaned her head on my shoulder so I laid my head on the top of her head.
After a bit she pulled away. I won't pretend I wasn't disappointed, because I was. I mean Max made the first move not me this time. I wanted to kiss her so bad, but I didn't want her to leave so I decided to wait, since we are on good terms right now.
Because everyday is a new day. A fresh clean start.
"That was one of the sweetest things anyone has ever done for me," she said looking me straight in the eyes. I felt my cheeks heat up before I said,
"Open it up," she looked at me confused, but opened the binder before squealing,
"No way! OMG! Fang!" I grinned and pulled the black I-pod classic out of my back pocket. When I hadn't been working on her binder I had downloaded I-tunes.
"Where," she asked.
"When you girls were getting your hair done, Jeb got an I-pod for you, me and Iggy."
"Which…" she started, but I cut her off saying,
"Green nano," she smiled at me so I grabbed her hand and led her into her room.
I walked over to her desk and grabbed the laptop off of the top. I turned around and Max was sitting on one side of her bed so I sat on the other side.
Then I showed her how to download I-tunes, music and more.
These are the times when I know why Max is my best friend and not someone else. How could anyone else make an afternoon on I-tunes as entertaining as Max? Did I mention I love her?
