Chapter 9: He Died
Max POV:
I looked over at Dylan hoping that he would know what to say, but all he did was take a deep breath and run his hand through his hair. So I guessed that meant that I had to handle it and I knew the perfect thing to tell him.
"Iggy the Fangles you know and love is died." I said. Iggy let out a loud gasp and screamed,
"IT CAN'T BE TRUE!" I then walked over to him and put a supporting hand on his shoulder.
"I know that's what I thought too." I sighed, "But it is." Dylan walked over to Iggy and asked,
"Are you going to be okay?"
"I'M I GOING TO BE OKAY? HOW DARE YOU ASK THAT QUESTION WHEN I JUST FOUND OUT THE MAN I LOVE HAS DIED! I HAD SO MANY PLANS FOR THE FUTURE THAT INVOLVED ME AND HIM TOGETHER, BUT NOW WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? GO SEE THE LARGEST BOMB IN THE WORLD BY MYSELF AND BLOW IT UP ALONE?" Iggy yelled. I quickly walked over to Dylan and whispered
"Let me handle this and why not you go find us a spot on the beach and buy Iggy his favorite ice cream."
"Are you sure?" Dylan whispered and threw a worried glance at Iggy's angry form.
"Yeah, I've learned how to handle him over the years." I whispered with a small smile and gave him a reassuring wave while he walked away. I then turned back around to where I thought I left Iggy to find out that he's not there anymore. I let out a frustrated sigh and started to walk down the sidewalk to see where he ran off too, until I heard some girl scream,
"Get away from my boyfriend you freak!" I quickly ran over to where I thought I heard the scream come from and found Iggy fuming at a short girl with blonde hair clutching a tall man's hand who seemed has frightened as the girl was.
"WHY DO YOU GET TO HAVE HAPPINESS AND LOVE WITH THIS MAN, WHEN ALL I SEEM TO GET IS TOUGH LOVE WITH AN EMOTIONLESS WRECK!" Iggy yelled.
"I don't even know what your talking about!" The girl screamed back. I quickly ran over and grabbed Iggy from behind and said to the girl,
"I'm so sorry about him. He's having a hard day." The girl let out a frustrated huff and stomped away with her boyfriend trailing behind.
"YEAH THAT'S RIGHT WALK AWAY FROM THE ONLY PERSON THAT'S EVER PROBABLY TOLD YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE! BUT ALSO FROM PROBABLY THE ONLY PERSON THAT'S GOING TO TELL YOU THAT THOSE JEANS AREN'T WORKING FOR YOU NO MATTER WHAT THAT LOW LIFE TOLD YOU..." Iggy hollered at her retreating form until I quickly put my hand over his mouth and lead him to the nearest bench.
"Iggy why did you bother those two innocent people?" I said softly while making him sit down.
"I don't know." Iggy whispered and turned his head away from me.
"Iggy tell the truth." I whispered calmly and took a seat next to him.
"...Cause the girl didn't have good taste in clothes." Iggy mumbled.
"Iggy..."I warned. Iggy gave me a nervous glance before letting out a long sigh.
"Ugh...Fine...It was mostly because they were the first happy couple I saw." Iggy admitted and put his head in his hands. I gently moved his hands away from his face and made him look at me before saying
"Iggy I know you and Fang were best friends and that you had so many plans for the two of you, but you have to understand that these things happen and it's out of our control."
"I know." Iggy mumbled and nodded his head.
"Also it's not like you lost everyone because you still have me and I would be happy to do some of the those plans with you." I said with a reassuring smile.
"REALLY!" Iggy beamed and jumped off the bench.
"Sure." I laughed. Iggy grabbed my hand and pulled me off the bench and with a loud laugh said,
"Well forget Fang than because you and me Maxie are going to have a ton more fun!" Iggy was practically jumping up and down with excitement while he told me all of his plans while we were heading back towards the beach.
"Then we will jump out of the plane and you'll throw me the hydro bombs, while you carefully take out the feathers and..." Iggy started to explain, but suddenly stopped and froze. I turned in the direction he froze in and let out a loud gasp because Fang, Lissa, Travis, and Greg were under a huge umbrella down the beach. I tried to grab Iggy's hand and lead him to where I saw a smiling Dylan waiting for us, but he just shoved me aside and screamed
"FANGLES YOU ARE ALIVE!"
"Iggy stop!" I said trying to reach him, but he just sprinted down the beach to where a group of confused popular's were sitting and completely ignored my plead. I put my head in my hands when I saw him pounce on Fang with a bone crushing hug and heard him say how he thinks he changed into a hot version of himself for the better. I felt a pair of hands wrap around waist and pull me into there chest. I spun around and saw Dylan's smiling face beaming down at me with reassuring eye's that immediately filled me with warmth. I buried my head in his chest and mumbled,
"What I'm I going to do?"
"I'm not sure." Dylan replied while burying his face in my hair. I had to admit that this was a pretty sweet moment until I heard Iggy scream,
"MAXIE STOP HUGGING DYLAN AND COME OVER HERE AND SEE HOW ALIVE FANGLES IS!" I looked over Dylan's shoulder to see a very happy Iggy clutching a smirking Fang who was watching Lissa, Travis, and Greg carry over a bucket full of sand getting ready to dump on Iggy. I let out a surprised gasp and quickly shoved Dylan aside. I then started to sprint down the beach to where Iggy was and hoping that I would make it in time, but I could tell at the rate I was going it would be a slim chance. I tried to remember the powers Cassie explained to me, but I kept coming short on one. Light, Camouflage, Flight, and...and...and...sp...spe...SPEED! I then felt a rush of wind hit me and I opened my eye's to see everything becoming a blur except for my destination which was Iggy. If I wasn't in a rush I would so be enjoying this and seeing how far I could get, but those thoughts quickly left me when I saw Travis and Greg getting ready to dump the sand on Iggy and Fang shoving Iggy towards it. With one final burst of speed I made it over to Iggy and shoved him out of the way before the sand could hit him, but sadly I wasn't as lucky. My eye's were the first to feel the sand and I couldn't help but cry out at the burning sensation that was happening in them. Iggy let out a surprised gasp when he saw me covered head to toe with sand and quickly ran over to me and asked,"Oh my gosh, Max are you ok?"
"Yeah...I've had worse happen to me." I said while spitting sand out of my mouth and giving him a weak nod.
"I can't believe you would do that for me." Iggy said slightly surprised.
"That's what best friends are for." I laughed. Iggy put me in a gentle hug and gave Fang his best glare over my shoulder.
"Well looks like Maxine is making more pathetic friends." Lissa sneered at me. I was about to open my mouth and say something back, but Iggy quickly stopped me by hissing back,
"Well at least her Daddy doesn't have to buy her fake friends so he doesn't have to put up with her." Lissa let out a loud gasp and ran over to Fang and screamed,
"Do something!"
"Yeah Nicholas, do something." I said while letting go of Iggy. Fang took a few strides over to us and looked over my sand covered form, before hissing
"Why not you freaks leave before I have to do something to make you regret coming over here."
"You mean like you did earlier." I said remembering how he through me against the lockers. Nicholas flinched a little at the memory before changing it to a simple shrug. But Iggy let his eye's go wide and let his mouth become a gaped and looked at him with pure shock.
"I told you the Fang you know and love is died." I whispered sadly.
"I guess you were right." Iggy agreed while walking back towards Dylan. I gave Fang one last glare before going after Iggy and back towards Dylan.
"Oh my gosh are you guy's ok?" Dylan said when he saw a sand covered me and a whimpering Iggy coming up to him.
"Yeah." I whispered.
"I'm so sorry you guy's because the beach was my idea and I just wanted to let you guy's have a fun afternoon together, but I guess it took a turn for the worst." Dylan apologized with a sad face.
"No, Dylan it's okay." I said walking over to him and putting my hand on his shoulder.
"YEAH THERE'S PLENTY OF TIME LEFT AND WE CAN STILL HAVE A FUN FILLED AFTERNOON IN 2 HOURS!" Iggy beamed while throwing his shirt off.
"Really?" Dylan asked while throwing his shirt off too.
"Yeah, but we are going to have to clean Max up first." Iggy said looking me up and down. I gave him a confused look before I felt Dylan remove my jacket while Iggy picked me up and threw me over his shoulder before sprinting towards the water.
"IGGY! NO PUT ME DOWN!" I screamed and started to struggle in his hold.
"Oh I will." Iggy yelled back and that's when I felt his arms release me and my body connect with ice cold water.
