I got quite a few reviews in like two days for my last chappy - thanx! Keep R&Ring and tell me what ya think!!
Chapter 10: Confessions of a Teenage Mutant Freak…
Mia stayed for hours; I just sulked in my room feeling betrayed. I just couldn't sit there and watch Fang drool over her – it was enough to make anyone sick!
This, unfortunately, gave me time to think…
Why did I care so much?! I mean the fact that Fang actually had a girlfriend really peed me off! Why though?!
I hugged my knees. I'm not sure if you've noticed, my faithful reader, but the life of a teenage mutant freak is lonely. I've got the flock, of course, but I'm the leader… so when it comes to the little ones I can't show weakness, me appearing strong is what makes them so strong…
But then there's Fang; Fang my strong, impassive, right-hand man. We both were outcasts, loners… just different I s'pose, which brought us together. I needed him for me to be strong – and until now I had thought he had needed me too!
If he had some girlfriend, then it was just me again… me against the whole friggin' world… and man that sucked!
I felt alone, abandoned.
I wasn't as strong as I made out I was… with out Fang… I couldn't be strong at all…
--
It was ten before I heard the front door finally judder shut as Mia left… and I breathed a deep sigh of relief.
I still refused to show my face though – I mean how could the flock let her stay?! Was I the only person who could see how awful she was?! Was I the only person who actually cared!!
I was disturbed from my dark thoughts by a light knocking on my door. "Come in." I mumbled darkly.
Fang hovered nervously between my room and the door. I raised my eyebrows, "Yes?"
He cleared his throat, "You're annoyed aren't you?" he said finally.
"Well gee no duh!" I muttered harshly, my voice dripping with sarcasm – no doubt my favourite emotion…
"So have you figured out why Sherlock?! Could it possibly be that just when the flock need you most you go off gallivanting and get yourself a flipping girlfriend – a red-head!? Surprise! Surprise! Or maybe it's that, after she's a complete and utter beeyaaatch to Iggy, you just sit there, not even defending him?! Or maybe – just maybe - it's because you said to her that we were a COUPLE!!" I yelled, my voice rising steadily.
My fists clench I breathed deeply.
Fang open and shut his mouth like a fish – yeah not the first time. "I'm not sure if you've noticed Max, but there is really much saving of the world going on here! Or does watching T.V. and stuffing our faces count?! What is it with you and red-heads?!"
I crossed my arms over my chest and narrowed my eyes – a look that's been known to scare the hell out of fully-grown erasers.
Fang carried on quickly, meeting my hard gaze, "And she made a mistake okay?! Anyone would have asked how a blind-kid could bake! He didn't need defending!" Fang said evenly – probably the longest sentence I'd ever heard him utter!
"You know that's bull Fang!" I hissed, "And what the H-E- double tooth-picks did you say about us to your precious girlfriend?!"
Fang gulped, "I just said that we… err… you know… about what happened in the cave and she just assumed…" he trailed off.
"Fang, how could you tell anyone that!? For God's sake next you'll be telling her we have wings!" He blushed scarlet. I widened my eyes, "Fang! You didn't??" I spat venomously.
He looked hurt –actual emotion, shocker hey? "You know I would never tell anyone that! Max?!" he whispered, "How can you say that?! Don't you trust me?!" His crumpled face showed alarm; he'd let his guard down… and it REALLY scared me.
"You know what Fang?" I muttered sadly, "I'm not sure I do anymore…"
I shook my head staring hard at the floor. My eyes filled with tears, blinking them away, I averted my eyes from Fang's penetrating gaze.
"Maybe you should go." I muttered quietly.
"Max…" Fang said haltingly.
"Goodnight Fang." I said quickly, my voice cold and hard as I held open the door. Forlornly he shuffled out of the room.
And I closed the door behind him……….
Awww! Poor Max!... Poor Fang!
