My sleeping, is messed up. At any moment in the day, I could simply lie down and fall asleep. At night, I just can't fall asleep. Then in the morning, I'm not a morning person, yet I can just magically wake up at 6 and not feel like death. One of those magical mornings was today.
The early morning sun was streaming through the blinds right into my face. I found myself very close to Fang. I scootched over so I would completely kill him when I stretched. I reached over the side of the bed and grabbed my long t-shirt from the floor. I sat up and was pulling it over my head when I clunked my hand against the wall. And let me tell you this, that was not a good feeling.
Fang's POV
I could hear Max waking up. Goodness, she needed to stop waking me up this early. The sun light coming into the room was in my eyes and making me feel like death. stupid sun... Then there was loud thunk and Max started cursing under her breath. Yes people, even at 7 in the freakin' morning, she still had the mouth of a sailor. I rolled over, and peered up at her through my half closed eyes. She was sitting there in her adorably baggy t-shirt, rubbing her knuckles and sending the wall to hell.
"Max, it's a wall. Do you want the apartment above to crash on top of ours?" I asked, yawning and trying to wake up.
"The freakin' wall nearly broke my hand!" I held my finger to her lips, getting her to be quiet as I rolled over onto my back and tried to wake up. Dang it, Max. I had been having a good dream to. (Shut up you perverts.) It was my dad and I at the little pond where we always fished. We were exploring around the woods and the trees were blue and the water was purple. Pretty weird dream...but my dad was in it so that made it better. And why was I dreaming about blue trees? I don't have a stinkin' clue. I looked over at Max and slipped my arm around her, pulling her into my arms.
"Sorry I woke you up." I just shrugged and attempted to gently get the knots out from her long dirty blonde hair. I looked down at Max, feeling like I was looking at an angel from heaven instead of a sleepy girl with messy hair. "Did you sleep okay?" I could tell Max wanted to get up and go make coffee and not lie here with me.
"Yep." I let go of her so she could get up. I turned over onto my side and closed my eyes. I felt a light peck on my cheek and the bedroom door open and close.
Max's POV
I left Fang trying to get back to sleep while I went out into the living room. Iggy was sitting there already with a coffee in his hand and the newspaper layed on the table. I smirked and sat down on the couch next to him.
"Hey, you're up early."
"I try." Iggy said, taking a sip from his red mug.
"No, you don't." I grabbed the nearest pillow and tucked it under my chin, hugging it to my chest.
"You're right. I don't. But your mom called all of our phones and I couldn't get back to sleep."
"Did you answer it?" Why in the world would she call at this early?
"Yeah, she was just wondering when Nudge was coming home. She says she wants to see you." I groaned and closed my eyes. I hate going to visit. The first question from my dad is, "Are you still dating that Nick kid?" He isn't a kid, he is 22, 6 months older than me. And the answer is, and will always be yes. I can just imagine my dad's face when I tell him we are getting married at some point. I mean, come on. I have dated him for 5 years. Then there was my mom's "first question" when I walk into the house. This question is NOT one question. This is a whole stream of them with no breaths in between. There for, making a single question.
I sighed loudly at my jumble of thoughts and got up to start breakfast. Might as well get this over with now.
***linelinelinelinelineline!***
"PLEASE COME! PPLLEEAASSEE!" I was following Fang around the house, shaking his arm as I begged for him to come with me to my parents. "I need back up! They are crazy!" I screamed, jumping up and down. Fang just chuckled, amused with my shenanigans.
"Nope. Your dad still hates me. Remember when I got lip piercings? He nearly cut of my head!"
"But you took those out a month later! He doesn't remember that. Just come. Please? Pretty please with chocolate cookies on top?"
"Nope." Fang said again, sitting down to check his emails.
"Fang, please. They are constantly arguing. I can't go alone." Fang shook his head. God, he was annoying. I can't believe I have to do this but...I turned him towards me and kissed him hard on the lips. I pulled back, smiling at his surprised face. "Now will you come?"
"I will drive you guys there. Then I will go say hi to my mom and Angel. Then I will come over for dinner. 'k?" I nodded. Not quite what I had in mind, but at least he was coming at some point to save me.
*****Looky! Another line*******
Nudge stuck the key in and unlocked the door to the house. We stepped inside, the house smelling like some cooking-creation-gone-wrong.
"Home!" Nudge yelled, tossing her shoes in the basket by the door. My mom appeared in the doorway to the kitchen.
"Max! Good to see you!" She ran over and gave me a hug. Then started on the rant of questions. I just rolled my eyes.
"Mom, I can't understand a word you are saying." My mom grabbed my hand and dragged me down the hall towards the kitchen.
"We have just been chatting with-" I stepped inside to see my mom standing there. Yes, people. You read that right. My birth mom. Jenna Ride. My heart nearly stopped. It had been a few years since I last went to visit her. I was engulfed in a tight hug.
"Max, it has been so long!" I suddenly felt like everyone was talking to me at once. My dad came in and immediately (as predicted) started asking about Fang.
"EVERYBODY QUIET! PLEASE!" All the mouths in the room closed. "Thank you! For cryin' out loud just send an email or maybe call me once in a while! Mom, school is great. My job is amazing. Dad, Fang and I are still dating. We need to tell you something when he get's here. Jenna, good to see you again. Okay, now can we just eat lunch already?" I smiled, giving them a thumbs up and walked into the living room. I pulled out my phone.
me: SOS! SOS! 2 much talking! Help!
Fang: Im sure your fine.
me: No! I had to scream shut up so they wouldn't kill me.
Fang: exaggerate much?
me: *sighs angrily* just get here ASAP. We are eating lunch soon so bring the fam. Fang didn't respond but I knew he was coming at some point. Jenna, Nudge and my dad joined me at the table and started firing questions.
"So where do you work, Max?" Jenna asked with a smile.
"A coffee shop/bookstore called Roses."
"And are you and Fang still living together?" My dad asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Yep. With Ella and Iggy. The rent is a lot less when we are all paying."
"Awww, you two seem like a really great couple." Jenna sighed, getting a glare from my dad.
"Was Nudge behaved?"
"I'm right here!" Nudge said loudly, looking up from her phone. I sighed.
"You guys really, like really need to stay in touch more. This is ridiculous." I answered a few more of Jenna's questions and ignored my dad's annoying comments about Fang. Fang, Jessie and Angel walked in. I"M SAVED! I hugged Jessie and Angel hello and led them to the dining room. After lunch we all sat back down in the living room and talked. I crossed my legs and bounced my foot. I saw out of the corner of my eye, Fang watching me.
Fang's POV
Max seemed really annoyed after about an hour of talking. I put my arm around her shoulders, hoping to calm her down. I glanced over at my mom who was smiling at us. I met her new boyfriend today. Well not New exactly. I mean, he already moved in and stuff... I could tell they were both in love and all that bleck. Don't get me wrong, the guy was actually really nice. It's just, I feel like it's too soon to have my dad replaced. Luckily I didn't live at home and would never have to call him 'dad'. I still feel empty. Even with Max next to me everyday, making me smile. I can't help but remind myself that my dad will never meet her. Will never call her is daughter-in-law. Or will never see our kids. I can't help but remind myself that my dad will never get to see me again. And me, never seeing him.
I was broken out of my slightly morbid thoughts when Max's dad asked me a question.
"So, Nick, you do go by that now, instead of that silly nickname, right?" I just nodded, not going to admit that the moment my dad first called me Fang, that I swore almost never to go back. "What do you do for a living? I mean, if you two are going to get married, I want to know that there is going to be money in the bank."
"Uh...I'm a writer. I actually just got one of my books published." His eyes narrowed into a glare but a fake smile was plastered on his face. I could feel Max tense against me.
"You saying that both of you are going to live off of a teacher's paycheck and what money you may bring in with the books?" I glanced at Max, who nodded.
"The publishing company expects the book will be really popular..." I looked around the room, my mom and Max's mom's eyes were looking nervously at Jeb and Jenna was sitting there smiling, not really knowing what was going on. I caught Angel's eye, she drew a line slowly across her throat and nodded over to Jeb.
"You don't really think I'm going to let you and Max get married right? I mean a writer and a teacher? And I bet you two want children to." Jeb laughed.
"And this my friends, is why I try to avoid coming home, as much as possible." Max stood up suddenly and grabbed her phone and keys from the table. She grabbed her purse and slammed the door behind her. The room was quiet. Then chaos erupted. Max's parents started yelling at each other and Jenna joined in. My mom actually joined the argument to. Angel and Nudge both ran for the stairs. I grabbed my phone and slipped out the door. I started down the sidewalk. Knowing exactly where Max ran off to.
There you go! Chapter 10! Let's face it fanfictioners, Jeb is a butthead. I will try to update soon. Probably not today though. And I think that chapter 12 will be the last. I know, it's a short fanfic. But I have an idea for another one with Fax. Oh and my story 'Flying', I'm really not into it anymore. So after New years I'm going to remove it. So yeah...that's all!
Byezzzz! Oh and don't forget to review! They make me SMILE! :D
