CHAPTER 10

The ride in the ambulance was silent except for the sirens, and the constant murmur of the paramedics fiddling with little instruments that were attached to Max. She looked so peaceful probably how she would look when she was asleep. I held her hand so that I hoped she knew I was close to her.

"We will be at the hospital in two minutes uh... sorry what's your name?" asked one of the paramedics

"Fang" I told him keeping my eyes on Max

"How are you two related?"

"Oh no relation... we... we go out." I said quite happy

"Nice, so she seems stable at the moment but they will take her straight into theatre so fix her arm. It's pretty bad mate." He said grimly

"Right ok. She will be ok won't she?" I asked nervously

"We can't promise anything but we'll try our hardest that I can promise you." He replied

"What about the back of her head? I mean it was bleeding when I picked her up." I said showing him my bloodstained fingers.

"The other doctors will look at it while she is in theatre. For now her breathing is stable, there's nothing else we can do now." He told me as we practically flew through the windscreen we braked that hard, Max still made no indication that she was awake. They got her onto one of those bed trolleys (no idea what they are called so they are trolleys now hope no one minds;)) and wheeled her away. I was just left stood in the corridor leading into the theatre, I sat down on one of the uncomfortable, hard and hideously green plastic chairs which were attached to the wall, also green but not as horrible as the chairs. I rested my head in my hands after half an hour as she still hadn't come out of the theatre which sounded like they were doing some sort of show with her as the main character, I thought that would suit Max well as she likes attention, or more like she liked attention as she didn't seem to be coming out of there for a while.

It was a good two hours before she appeared again, I tried to go up to her as they wheeled the bed along but a cute, red head nurse came up, taking off her gloves as she walked up to me, and started talking about Max.

"Well we've pinned her arm, it's been broken in three places, and they've fixed part of her skull that had cracked. She'll wake up in half an hour or so."

"She will wake up won't she?" I asked worriedly, I had seen the hospital soaps – due to my mum being obsessed with them – where someone goes in for an operation and don't wake up after.

"Yes there is no reason why she shouldn't." She reassured leading me to where they were going to put her. They lifted her limp body off of the trolley and onto the bed next to it. I practically ran up her and grabbed hold of her hand.

"Whoa steady on man. She ain't gonna die mate you can calm down." Laughed a Doctor, who was probably the one that operated on her

"Sorry it's just..." I trailed off keeping my eyes firmly on Max whose eyes seem to be flickering although it could have been the light

"Yeah I know it's horrible when you love someone and they end up in a state like that. Once she is awake we will have to ask her a few questions like how she came to be that badly beat up." He said patting me on the back – they seem to be doing that a lot lately – and pulling up a chair for me.

"Thanks." I replied "I know how this happened." My voice barely audible

"Good well we still have to ask her and we'll ask you too. In the mean time rest a bit and get something to drink. It'll be better for both of you if you aren't tired or dehydrated." He said walking off to another bedridden person. I held her hand tightly not wanting to let go, but soon enough I was starting to wish I'd brought something to eat. I looked around and spotted a sign saying 'Cafe this way' with an arrow pointing out of the ward and down some steps. I put my coat over the back of the chair and fished about in my pocket for a pen and a bit of paper which was usually lurking in there somewhere. I found them quite quickly and wrote a note explaining where I was if she woke up and found herself alone just staring at the white walls and ceiling. I got up and walked to the door constantly looking over my shoulder to see if she woke up, I almost crashed into – ironically – the crash team which use them heart thingy machines. I murmured sorry and walked quickly to the door so not to get in anyone's way.

The stairs clanked and creaked as I walked down them fast so that I'd be back to Max quicker. My blood was still boiling, the image of Dylan beating her up clear in my mind, I tried to shake it away but I couldn't... before I knew it I had punched the wall angrily scraping some of the skin off of my knuckles. I just wanted to sit down and cry, I wanted so much – more than the world – to just kick the life out of Dylan bring him so close to death he would be able to touch it. To watch him fall into hell and beg me to take him out of it so I could just laugh and walk away, wipe the memory I ever had a step brother clean out of my mind.

Max P.O.V

I opened one of my eyes, could have been the left one but I wasn't sure I was still a bit drowsy and had a killer headache. I opened it partially letting the bright white walls flood in and make my headache worse. I put my hands over my face; one of my arms seemed a lot warmer than the other and what felt like someone's heavy coat draped over it. This time I opened both of my eyes curiosity getting the most of me as I didn't recognise the walls and I so wanted to know what was up with my arm. I opened my eyes – painfully – to see a row of hospital beds in front of me, and as I tried to get up into a sitting position I found that I couldn't put any weight onto my arm. Once I had struggled for what felt like an hour trying to get up I finally got into position. I looked at my arm to see it in a white cast from the middle of my upper right arm right up to wrist; I was confused to say the least. As I was admiring my arm – and occasionally flicking it 'cause I could (and I was bored) – I noticed a small scrap of paper near my leg. I opened it – as it was folded shut – I instantly noticed Fang's handwriting and my heart skipped a beat, he was here he had come with me! Either that or he just sent the note to me, but I read it to find out. It read;

'Hey Max I've gone to the Cafe cause I'm hungry. Can't bring you back anything sorry, I'll be back soon though. Promise

Xxx

Fang'

So he was here! Those 'kisses' made me feel better except the bit where he couldn't bring me back anything as I suddenly felt really peckish. As I was re-reading the note a young doctor came up to me and asked.

"Hey glad you're awake. How are you feeling?" He face was kind and he had an amazing smile with bright white teeth, his eyes were bright green and friendly.

"Yeah not bad, got a banging headache though" I said wincing as I touched my temples.

"That usually is a side effect of anaesthetic" He replied "Oh has your boyfriend gone to the Cafe? They do wonderful cups of teas down there." He added. I suddenly felt really scared and probably showed it too as he looked really confused, what if Dylan had come too? Did he not get the message when I dumped him before I got knocked out? What did he mean anaesthetic?

"Who?" I croaked out looking at him with a horrified expression on my face, the doctor guy – didn't know his name at all – was looking at me really worriedly.

"The dark haired one, Nick I think he said his name was." I let out a massive sigh of relief "Is everything alright?" He asked concerned

"Oh everything's fine, just fine. God I thought you meant Dylan then" I said then looking confused either he's just looking at the small picture because Fang came with me so he is thinking he is my boyfriend or... I'm not sure. I spaced out a little bit, but was brought back to the real world by the doctor laughing. "What?"

"You don't half space out a lot. Anyway I'll wait till he comes back so I can ask you some questions, see you in a bit. Oh, and if he comes back ask one of the nurses for Dr Keaston, alright?" He said walking off to another person's bed, and I was left waiting for Fang to get back. I lay on my side not wanting to look at a strange man with a stupid long beard, if Fang or Iggy start growing a beard I'm going over to their house and shaving it off!

Fang P.O.V

I ran up the stairs wanting to get back to Max, I had taken longer than I had planned to but the girl behind the till seemed adamant to give me her number and I call her. But I had my girlfriend to get back to, even calling Max that made me feel happier inside. I ran up the last bit of stairs jumping them in two's and even three steps at a time. I fell through the door trying to do the last four steps in one, as I casually fell through the door I felt hundreds of pairs of eyes watching me all hoping I was going to visit them – that I was one of their family coming to see them. My eyes instantly found Max lying on her side looking out of the window; I walked quickly and quietly up to her. I placed my hand on her waist making her jump slightly, and turn over to look at me.

"Hey Max." I said looking into her beautiful deep brown eyes.

"Fang" She said sounding relieved, trying to get up, I helped her up and she just wrapped her arms around my neck and whispered "Just you?"

"Yeah just me" I replied not wanting to let go, Max let go first but still held my hands

"What's this about you being my boyfriend?" She asked smiling at me

"Ah well, it's ok if you don't wanna be but-"

"Don't be daft Fang! Of course I'll go out with you! I've wanted to for ages but never found the right time to ask!" She slightly squealed hugging me again making me go red slightly, when she pulled back from the hug her eyes met mine and we leaned closer together, just as our lips were about to meet, I could feel her warm breath on my face, a doctor came up startling us.

"Hey guys!" He said cheerfully as if he liked breaking people apart when they were having a good moment. "Am I interrupting something?" He asked stupidly

"Yes you were but the moment seems to have passed now!" Snapped Max glaring at him, I felt sorry for the guy but he seemed unfazed by Max's glare.

"Ok guys I need to ask you some questions involving Max's injuries. So how did this happen?" He asked looking from me to Max back to me again.

"Well... Fang's brother he used to go out with me and well before we broke up, which was a few minutes before I arrived here, he kept beating me up. I don't know why he just did. But today it was a lot worse I sang some songs he didn't like which explained the situation and once everyone had left he went crazy. And after that I came here, met you, and you stopped a nice ending to a horrible part of my life I will never get back!" She explained the doctor just nodded all the way through it every so often murmuring 'Oh yeah' and 'Alright'.

"So guys I'll have to go get a form, we need it in writing as with all things and we'll do something about it in the mean time why don't you call your families let them know where you are and that you're safe, yeah?" He said walking off into an office. I looked down at Max who had still been glaring at the doctor; she looked up at me and whispered

"Now where were we?" she grinned, putting her arms around my neck again, as we both leaned closer to each other, I saw the doctor coming back out of the corner of my eye, and without wasting anytime I brought my lips to hers quickly. This time he couldn't interrupt and I saw him walk out of my view in the opposite direction, as I put my arms around her waist and pulled her gently closer to me. I don't know how long we were kissing for but once we stopped I wish we still were.

"Better find a phone." I said sitting myself down next to her on the bed.

"Why?" She asked putting her head on one side, making her eyes get bigger and slightly pull out her bottom lip.

"Because one) Angel will be waiting for you two) I don't want to get in trouble with your mum oh and three) the sooner we phone them the longer we can have kissing yeah?" I replied looking at her sweet face, I couldn't help myself she just looked so cute I leant in and kissed her again. She hadn't seen it coming either and was a little taken a back but still kissed me back.
