Okay so yeah I noticed chapter 8 was repeated…..oops. If you want me to rewrite it ….review.

Sorry this is another short chapter.

Disclaimer- I don't own maximum ride for this whole story

Fang cares about me. For some reason that makes my insides do the happy dance. I would never tell anyone that. I felt to warm and comfortable at Fangs side. It almost seems that this is where I belong. Fang has always been like a brother to me. He has always been there, unlike Ari. Fangs lips kissed my forehead. Butterflies flooded my stomach and. Then it hit me. Fang was always like this with me. Caring.

Flashback 3 years ago

"FANG!" I screamed. Ow, ow, ow! Ok I will try to get up on 3

1…..ow

2…ow

3…OW!

There's no way I can get up or walk on my own. It's getting late and I am in the middle of the wood, that's it, I'm dead.

"NICK!" I tried once more. There was movement in the bushes and then out came my next door neighbor, Nick. I was so happy to see his face. He looked at me blankly then realized I was hurt.

"Oh max, what did you do now?" he asked comely

"My mom sent me some of her homemade cookies, you know my favorite ones, and I went to eat them in the park after school today and this boy, I think his name was Dylan, wanted some but I wouldn't let him so he chased me out of the park and tackled my here in the woods near your house. I hurt my ankle and he gave me a wet Willy, and then ate all my cookies!" I said, a tear rolled down my cheek. "It really hurts Fang."

Fang walked up to me and pulled out his pocket knife and cut the branch the made me trip, and then helped my ankle out of the hole. He brushed his thumb over my cheek so the tear was gone. My face tingled from his touch. I shivered and helped me up and gave me a piggy back ride home. Ella's nanny put my ankle in place.

The next day at school Fang walked up to Dylan and gave him a black eye and spat at him "Don't. Hurt Max.' and "You better go buy her some cookies and not any kind, the only ones she eats that's not her mom's is the little bakery on the corner. Or else your other eye will match this one." Dylan gaped to how much Fang talked, Fang carried me home that day.

End of flash back

Do I like him? I started to wonder. Between my thoughts and Fangs warmth, I fell asleep.

Please review what you think!
