Arranged
Now that I look at it again, I realize that the previous chapter was strangely intense for my usual chapter style. Any who, here is your next chapter! Also, I probably will not update from the 24th to the 26th of December!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Maximum Ride or any of its characters.
CLAIMER: I do own the plot and self made characters.
I don't know why, but as I climbed into my black corvette and sped away from the Ride estate, my chest tightened and it kind of felt like I was being stabbed in the upper left part of my chest…what was is it called again? Oh right, my heart. Yes, it felt like I was being stabbed in my heart. But I wasn't sure why at the time, in fact I didn't figure out why until much later when I was making out with a random chick I picked up at the bar, trying to get rid of the feeling.
The girl that was currently on top of me is probably underage, and her parents probably don't know where she is. Normally I would've sent her home in a cab, but for some insane reason, I just craved her; every part of her, from the deep brown eyes to the wavy brown hair. I don't know why, since I don't normally go for such simple girls, but then as she looked at me as our lips parted for breath, I instantly knew. She looks like Max. I quickly pushed her off me and stood up. She looked up at me with a pissed expression.
"What the hell was that for?" She asked, still panting.
"Go home; your parents are probably worrying." I say to her over my shoulder as I walk out of the back room we were in. She probably would have chased after me, but I quickly left the bar and walked in a bee line to my car. Once in my car I turned on the Bluetooth and ordered the Bluetooth voice thing to call Iggy on his cell.
"Yo, Fang, what do you need?"
"Where are you and the Howlers?"
"The other Howlers went home but Zach and I are still at the Ride estate talking to the Winders, except for Max. She went and locked herself in her room."
"Alright, I'm heading over there right now. Do whatever it takes to get Max out of her room."
"What? Why?"
"I'll explain later. Just do what I told you to do." I say quickly and then cut off the call. At the moment, I had the feeling that I was going over the speed limit and would probably get shit for it later, but it didn't matter. All that mattered was getting to Max.
I sped through the gates of the estate and I could just imagine the bewildered looks from the guard as I caused his coffee to spill all over him. I laughed to myself silently and skidded to a stop at the front door to the main house. I jumped out of the corvette and pounded across the cobblestone pathway leading to the door, my leather shoes smacking the ground, and just as I was going to tear the door open, the kind old maid, Nina, opened it for me and smiled.
"Your friends are trying to take her door down." She said with a smile as she opens the door wider for me to get in. I grin and charge up the mahogany staircase, headed for Max's room. I could remember how to get there in my mind's eye. Down the hall, a left, and last door on the right.
As I neared the door I could see Zack, Iggy, Jared, and Ari all trying to push the door down; Dylan, Nudge, J.J., Suzan, and Laurel were cheering them on from the side. They all looked at me as I came skidding down the hallway towards them; the guys moved away from the door and I turned towards it. Taking a big breath, I charged with all I had at the door. The grand door burst open and I found Max slinging a leg over her marble balcony.
"What the hell do you think your doing Miss Ride?" I panted, out of breath, trying to have a smirk on my face.
"Nothing much, just running away, nothing better to do." She says with a small smile and drops off the balcony. Or at least she tries to, because just as she swings her other leg over and pushes off, I grab her wrist and hoist her back up into the room.
"I'm sorry Miss Ride, but as your teacher I can't let you do that," I say to her as I catch her eyes with a disapproving face. "I also can't let you do that, seeing as I'm your fiancée and completely and totally in love with you." I say with a grin. Max looks at me shocked, and before she can say anything I kiss her with a passionate fiery need so strong that I even shock myself a bit. At first Max tries to pull back from me, but then it's like our bodies are melting together, or like we are tied together by a silver cord.
"Nice to see that Fang is able to make a move." Iggy teases as Ari pulls Max and me apart.
"Dude, I don't care if you're marrying her. Keep your paws off my almost sister." Ari practically growls to me.
The others laugh, except for Zach who has a clouded and angry face. Suddenly Zach is charging at me and getting ready to throw a punch. I put my arms up in defence, but then Zach changes his mind and tackles me instead. There are gasps all around as Zach begins throwing punches at me as I try to get up.
"Why. Did. You. Have. To. Fall. In. Love. With. My. Max?" He yells as he finally manages to start pounding my face in. Iggy starts trying to pull Zach off, but Zach some how manages to shake him off. I've never seen Zach fight this strong, but as my face is getting cut and bruised, I have the feeling it won't be the last time. Ari and Iggy finally manage to pull Zach off me, and without them forcing him to, he storms out of the estate. Iggy looks at me in confusion.
"Fang, why didn't you beat the crap out of the brat?"
"Because it is something that I would have probably regretted later on," I sigh, getting up and wiping my mouth with the back of my hand. Max looks at Nudge, who rushes away, probably to get a first aid kit.
"Zach is young and confused. Just let it be." Dylan says, putting his hand on Ari's arm as Ari begins to walk out of the room, most likely to kill Zach.
So it was a pretty short chapter… But the FAX has started! And you know, a different side of Fang was sort of seen! Anyways, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, and Merry Christmakah!
