Yay! Thanks for the reviews! Even though I didn't get 8, I decided ya'll deserve this chapter. R&R!
~FANG'S POV~
"What's going on?" I demanded.
Max looked away from my eyes and started walking faster. Not going to take a no for an answer, I quickly followed her. I blocked her path and gripped Max's shoulders.
"Tell me what is going on. Iggy seems to know what happened to you. Just explain why you had this mental breakdown in the middle of the hallway."
Max shuddered and whispered, "Trust me, you don't want to know."
"I want to know."
I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. This is so bad that Max won't even tell me! But I'm going to find out, whether Max wants me to know or not.
~MAX'S POV~
I shuddered just thinking about my past. If I tell anybody, they'll run away from me screaming. I just wanted to live a normal life in Austin! Why couldn't Fang let me do that? I felt my lungs get constricted, and bubbles boiled up inside me.
Hit him
My hands curled into fists.
Is Fang annoying you about your past?
Yes.
Then hit him.
Hit him, I thought.
Fang turned around and half smiled at me with sympathy.
"Are you ok Max? I'm sorry if I'm bothering you, but I deserve to know."
I can't hit him! He's my friend!
Will he stay your friend when he knows who you really are?
I squeezed my eyes shut, don't hit him!
Hit him.
Shut up! I screamed in my head. You ruined my life!
If Fang leaves you after you hit him, then don't tell him about your past. If he doesn't leave you, you can tell him. Isn't that logical? Hit him.
I clamped my hands together, resisting the urge to hit Fang.
"Are you ok Max?" Fang asked worriedly.
I forced a smile and curtly nodded.
Hit him, hit him, hit him, hit him, hit him.
No, no, no, no, and no.
HIT HIM!
My fists flew in the air towards Fang's face. Fang's eyes widened in shock and he gasped.
I can't hit him! I can't hit him. What am I doing?
I tried to slow down the impact and I turned my fist a bit, so it was facing his shoulder.
My fist came in contact with his shoulder. I watched in horror as Fang stumbled back.
I released my clenched hands and screamed.
It's all your fault! I shouted in my head.
Since I was born with the powers, I automatically become stronger too. And since I'm such a freak, I hurt a mere human being!
I dashed over to Fang and kneeled over him.
"F-Fang? I'm sorry."
Fang opened his eyes and smirked,
"I'm fine. But you punched me."
A tear escaped my eye.
"I know. I'll do anything you want me to do."
"Anything?"
I nodded.
"Explain everything to me. After you explain everything, kiss me."
I choked on my own breathing, and blushed. Kissing Fang? Just thinking about that made me turn a deep scarlet red. Fang reached up and touched my cheek.
"You're cute when you blush. Now explain."
My mind whirled, I couldn't possibly tell Fang the truth! But I suppose I could tell him something that won't make him run away from me.
"Since I was a little girl, I always had anger problems. I got angry over every little thing, and I would take out my anger on whoever was around me at the time."
Fang nodded and said,
"So that's why you punched me."
I sighed, "But I got better at it! If I was still as bad as I use to be, I would have hit your face, not your shoulder. Anyways, my mom took me to a therapist. I hated him, and I ended up kicking his balls."
Fang chuckled.
"My dad got really mad at my mom for taking me there, because he said that I needed to know self defense, and that it was ok to get mad. They had a really big fight and they divorced, so now Iggy and I live with my mom. Uhh…and I had a breakdown because…"
I was stumped. I will not tell Fang about the Salvatore family.
"I had a nervous breakdown because when I bumped into Sam, he reminded me of my old boyfriend named Dylan. Dylan was a perfect boyfriend, until…"
I sniffled and tried to wipe away the incoming tears.
"Until I found him cheating on me with a girl."
Fang sat up and wrapped his arms around me. I started bawling for the second time in one day, which must be a record. I cried into his black shirt, soaking it.
"S-s-sorry…" I cried as I tried to get up.
Fang pulled me back down, and I started crying in to his chest again.
*Flashback*
It was the end of a school day. I was going to go home to get ready for me and Dylan's one year anniversary date. I squealed in excitement, I couldn't wait. Dylan was amazing and the guy that I dreamed about since Freshman year. I whistled and skipped along the hall when suddenly I halted.
Behind the lockers, Dylan was kissing Maria.
I screamed and ran to Dylan.
"What are you doing?"
I was hoping that this was all a dare, and Dylan would apologize and start kissing me, but no.
Instead, Dylan just kissed Maria again. He looked at me and said,
"I never loved you Max. How can you be so naive? I only wanted your body. It's so perfect. I also dated you to raise my popularity. Did you really think I ever loved you? Haha, let this be a lesson."
I slapped him and ran off crying.
*End of Flashback*
Fang's finger wiped away my last tear. I smiled shakily and stood up. Fang is such an amazing friend, which is why I can't tell him more about my past, otherwise I would lose Fang.
"So you explained everything?"
I stared at the ground and nodded.
"Ok, now you have to kiss me."
