Chapter 9

Max's POV

"Can someone please get this brat off of me?" I groaned. Angel was still hitting me and it was get annoying. I mean, a girl can only take so much, you know?

Fang stepped up and pulled Angel off of me. Pft, she started kicking and punching the air to get down and punch me some more. As if.

"Let me at her, Fang!" She screamed like a crazy person.

"No can do." He smirked.

"Because of you, I have to go buy new clothes!" I screamed in her face.

"Well, because of you I have to buy new stuffed animals." She sniffled.

"Not my problem," I waved her off. "We're in this mess because of you!" I spat at her face.

"Well, it's not my fault your such a dumb perfect sister." She scowled back at me.

I froze and everyone looked at her confused. Me? A perfect sister? Since when? And why was I not informed about this?

"Angel," I sighed, feeling a little bad. "I'm not perfect. Dumb, yes. But not perfect." I said gently. I kind of knew how she felt. Compared to me, Maya was always doing everything perfect. When we went to school, guys were always looking at her, she got straight A's, and she dressed nicer than me. I was the complete opposite. I was the tomboy, one of the guys, and I got maybe B's and C's. Never above a 90 in any class, besides Gym.

Fang put her down at that point when Angel stopped struggling, and she looked up at me with innocent eyes.

"Really?" She said in disbelief. I nodded and gave her a small smile.

She smiled back and hugged me tightly. I hugged her back and everyone was like, 'aww.' Then Angel pulled back and said, "I'm sorry, Max." so quietly that I barely heard her at all.

"How about this," I started. "How about we all go to the mall, buy me new clothes, and buy Angel more stuffed animals." Then I leaned down in front of Angel, and whispered in her ear, "When we come back, put on some old clothes and we'll save your stuffed animals from that puddle."

She beamed at me and I went down to the basement because lucky for me, I had clothes in the dryer that I forgot about when I went to school the morning before.

I pulled out some jeans and a random t-shirt and put them on, right there in the basement. I put my shoes back on, fixed my hair and went back upstairs.

I went into the kitchen for breakfast but instead I froze. My mom, Jeb and Gazzy were in the kitchen. Gazzy was like, what the heck is going on, my mom was staring at the mess of foul smelling clothes, and Jeb had a disapproving look on his face.

I slowly backed out of the kitchen and rushed to the living room. Angel was ready, Fang was sitting on the couch next to Angel and Nudge and J.J. were talking amongst themselves.

"Guys," I whispered. They turned to me. "Mom, Jeb and Gazzy are awake. We have to leave before they see us." I said inching towards the door. Fang and Angel got up from the couch and slowly crept towards the door. Nudge and J.J. were the closest to the door, so they were out first. Next was Fang, Angel and then me. I shut the door just before I heard footsteps walking toward the living room. We ran down the walkway and into Fang's unlocked car.

"That was fun. I felt like a spy, or a convict." Angel beamed.

"Get used to it, kiddo. That feeling comes around a lot when you're near me." I said patting her head from the front seat.

When we got to the mall, my phone started ringing. I looked at the screen. Mom.

Oh boy.

A/N: Thanks for all the reviews, it means a lot and I got one review where someone was confused about what happened in the last chapter.

Heres what happened: Max and Fang were at the Warehouse when she got a text from Angel. The text had a picture of an empty closet which means that Angel stole her clothes, Max went to the house as fast as she could and Angel was there in the kitchen with Max's clothes. Angel poured a whole bunch of stuff on Max's clothes and to get even, Max threw Angel's stuffed animals in a mud puddle outside of Angel's bedroom. Angel got so mad at Max that she started hitting her and that's where it ended.

Does that clear everything up?

Right, well Review! :)
