SO SINCE IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO FIGURE OUT LINE BREAKS, IT'S OBVIOUS IM NOT JP. HE'S SMARTER THAN THAT :P
LOL ANYWAYS
MAX POV
It's probably like 1 in the morning now. Still sitting in a tree. Mind is still racing. Still wondering why i screwed that up.
I screw everything up.
I decide to stop sitting here like a wuss and fly back. Maybe Fang was still there and i could fix it all.
He wasnt.
I knock on the door to his balcony. No answer. I give up and go into my room. I put all my stuff away, strip the many layers of clothes Nudge put on me, and got in the shower. Maybe the warm water and the lack of gunk on my face will help me think more clearly.
I will fix this later.
My alarm wakes me up not long after I went to bed. I forgot about school. I probably got around five hours of sleep. Doesn't matter I need to go find Fang.
I run out of my room and next door to Fang's. I start pounding on the door.
"Fang? Fang come one, just talk to me!" Still no answer.
"He already left." Fang's dad spoke up from aroud the corner. "Said he wanted to get t school early or something. Everything okay?"
"Peachy." i think I said that kind of coldly. So i for once apologize. "Sorry "
"It's fine, and call me Jeb!" he says in a weird voice and dissappeared. Jeb huh? Interesting name.
I run into my room and put on some clothes. I have a long sleeve black shirt with thumb holes, black skinny jeans with silver splatter paint on it (I actually like these), and the boots from yesterday. I put on some make-up that Nudge forced on me but make it simple. Silver eyeliner and mascara. Then I pull my hair into a ponytail and leave.
Why am I wearing this? I have no clue...
I make it to school in record time. Usually we get there right when homeroom starts, but today I am 30min early. I run into the theatre where everyone waits and start to search for Fang.
I scan the area and I see him in the back corner with Iggy. I walk over there in a hurry.
"We need to talk" I say. Might as well cut to the chase.
"Nice to see you too" Iggy says.
"Not you, Fang!" I bark.
"There's nothing to talk about" Fang says cooly.
"Yes, there is."
"No there isnt, just forget it. Forget it all" These words were cold and hurtful. I just wanted to run. So I did.
FANG POV
Max runs up to Iggy and I saying we need to talk. Great.
"There's nothing to talk about" I say, since there really isn't. I screwed up and she doesn't feel anything.
"Yes there is"
"No there isnt, just forget it. Forget it all." She ran off. It's better this way.
But it's not the way I want it to be.
MAX POV
I spent the night at Nudge's with Angel since homecoming is today. They all wanted to get ready together so I just complied.
Fang and I havnt spoken really in the last two weeks. Whenever we make eye contact I see pain in his eyes but it is just as quickly hidden with a blank stare. I really screwed up.
It's 5 o'clock and the boys should be here at 6. Nudge and Angel are all ready and now I'm in the chair while they work on my hair.
"Cheer up Max, it'll be fun still!" Angel said.
"Easy for you to say. You didnt run off when Iggy kissed you and are now ignored by him. In fact it's the opposite! You guys are going to homecoming together!"
"Yeah well you and Fang will work it out."
"Right Max. If anyone can work through something like this it is you two. You've guys been through things bigger than this before" Nudge joined in.
"Itex big" Angel added.
"I hope you two are right." I feel them start to pin my hair with bobby pin. "I don't even get why I'm still going. You two have dates and I dont."
"First of all, Gazzy and I are going as friends nothing more. Secondly it's homecoming! We only get four of them in our lives, you'll regret not going later in life." Nudge says.
"Yeah yeah yeah" Is all I could come up with. The doorbell rang and the girls squeal.
"Just in time! We'll go get the guys while you take a look a yourself and put the finishing touches on. You look gorgeous!" Nudge says and the girls are out the door.
I grab these inch long dangling earrings that are silver with gemstones cascading down on each chain. I sit on Nudge's bed and put on the heels. I've been practing how to walk in them all week.
I stand up and look in the mirror.
I'm not going to lie, but I was surprised at what I saw. My long blonde hair was curled and pinned so it only came down on my right shoulder, I had a silver heart locket Nudge lent me along with the earrings. As i am taking this all in I hear Angel call for me.
"Max! Get down here!"
"I'm coming, chillax!" i take one final look and head out of the bedroom.
So I dont fall, I make my way slowly down the stairs. Like that cliche walk you see in movies. As I go down the stairs I hear a bunch of chatting, and when I make it into view there is silence as everyone turns and looks at me. Amongst them is a face I didn't think I'd see.
Fang.
I paused at the sight and our eyes meet. I saw no pain, no anger, just Fang.
FANG POV
Iggy, Gazzy, and I are in the car to Nudge's. We are all in our tuxes with corsages for the girls. I hope their plan is going to work.
See Iggy and Angel have been hanging out more. It's obvious they like each other. So I told Ig what happened and apparently he talked to Angel about it. The girls planned Max getting ready there and me coming with the guys. Probably the reason why Nudge and Gazzy are going together.
We go inside and we are all talking and laughing.
"Max! Get down here!" Angel calls to her.
"I'm coming, chillax!" I hear her call from upstairs.
Then I see her walking down the stairs. She looks over and our eyes meet. She looks stunning, I can't believe this is the Max who could take Ig down in one punch. She is beautiful.
I start to make my way to her as she reaches the bottom of the stairs.
"You look...wow." Is all I could say.
"Fang, I'm so sorry."
"It's fine just forget it happened."
"No I need to tell y-"
"Stop, it never happened." I didn't want to know what she wanted to say. My best option is to just go back to the way things were before.
"But fang, I-"
"Stop." I think i said it too coldly. "I got this for you" I held out the corsage and grabbed her wrist. I put it on her and let go. It went perfect.
"But I don't have a boutinere for you."
"Yes you do" Nudge said and walked over with a little box with a flower in it.
"Thanks" Max said and started to pin it on me. She only pricked me once, but it's fine. I'm just glad we're talking again.
"Now, let's go" I say.
"We still have to tak" she says. She never gives up.
"Mhmm" I brush it off and we leave.
