Life with Max and Fang

Chapter 10

"Fang." I heard someone call. "Fang."

"What?" I opened my eyes. Max was on he side, me behind her, holding her to my chest. I turned my head and saw Angel.

"We're all hungry."

"What time is it?" I mumbled.

"Eight."

"Go back to bed."

"But Fang, we're hungry! Besides, don't you and Max have work today?" Angel reasoned.

"No. We're both off and don't plan to get up anytime soon. Tell Ella to make something. There's eggs, cereal, bacon, I'm sure that you can make something!"

"What?" Max opened her eyes. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." I told her. "Ella! Make them food!"

"Why do I have too?" She yelled back.

"Because if you don't, I'll make you all eat Max's cooking. Your choice."

"I'll cook!" She yelled.

I looked at Angel. "Go."

"Fine." She walked out leaving Max and I.

"Think that we should get up?" Max turned in my arms to face me.

"No." I kissed her head. "We're off today. I'm tired so let's sleep for a while."

Max sighed but nodded her head in agreement. "You want me to come and see you on Wednesday?"

I nodded. "Yeah. Can you?"

"I go to work at five so I'll come around three. Okay?"

"Okay. Hey why don't you have work today?"

"I switched days with Nathan so that he could go and visit his mom so now I work Sunday." She snuggled against me. "I love you."

I shrugged. "Your point?"

Max rolled her eyes before closing them. "You're a jerk."

I kissed her forehead. "Go back to sleep."

She yawned and lay still. In a few minutes, she fell back to sleep. I, on the other hand, found it hard. Once I was up, I was up. I gently laid my sleeping girlfriend on the bed and then got up. I grabbed my pair of jeans from yesterday and pulled them on. I grabbed a shirt out of the closet and then walked out of the bedroom, closing the door softly. I saw Nudge and Ella in the kitchen and Angel in the living room, watching my TV. She was watching some cartoon. Notice the word was. I walked over and grabbed the remote.

"Hey!"

"My TV, my choice of what we watch. " I switched the channel to the news station that I watched. "Off my couch!"

Angel stuck her tongue out at me and got up. She went and sat in the chair, arms crossed. I rolled my eyes and laid down on the couch.

"You guys are making me food too right?" I asked.

"We weren't."

"Yeah well you need to start."

"Fang!" Max walked out of the bedroom. "Behave."

"I am." I looked at her. "Go back to sleep."

She ignored me and grabbed the remote. She handed it to Angel. "Watch what you want Ange."

She smiled at me. "Thanks."

"Girls, you don't have to make his food." Max smiled at me. "And if you keep bossing them around, I'll make your food."

"Stupid bitch." I mumbled.

"Max Fang cussed!" Angel ratted me out.

Max walked in front of the couch and hit me in the gut. It hurt but Max is my girlfriend. I'm not going to show that it hurt. I smiled at her.

"Fang, no cussing for the rest of the week." She told me.

"What about when it's just Nudge here?"

She shrugged. "Then I could care less."

She sat down on my stomach.

"Get off!"

"No. You sit up."

I turned my body so the she slipped off of me. "And stay off!"

She reached up to hit me in the stomach but missed and hit somewhere more… sensitive. Damn she can hit hard!

"Damn it Max!" I leaned over in pain as Ella and Nudge burst out laughing.

"Fang I am so sorry!" She stood up and faced me. "Are you okay?"

"Fine." I pushed her hand away as she tried to touch my arm.

"Max he cussed again." Angel pointed out.

"Shut up Angel."

"Fang don't tell her to shut up." Max leaned over and kissed my cheek. "Now sit up."

I complied, mumbling under my breath. Max sat next to me, her head on my shoulder. I tried to watch the cartoon that Angel had it on but it made on sense. There was this kid with magical things. It was the stupidest thing I have ever watched. Max wasn't even paying attention. She had fallen asleep on my shoulder.

"Food Angel!" Ella called from the kitchen. "Max we have your food too.'

"What about me?"

"Max said not to make you food." Nudge said, walking into the living room with a plate of food. Max woke up and smiled at me.

"That's what you get for being a bastar- I mean bad person." She stood up.

"Nice save Max."

"Thank you." She walked into the kitchen and came back with two plates. She handed one to Angel and then sat where she was before. Nudge sat on the floor in front of is and Ella sat next to Max. I crossed my arms. They seriously didn't make me any? Jerks! I finally got up and made cereal. I'll get Max back later.

Max's POV

"Where are you going Fang?" I asked, looking up from the TV. We had eaten breakfast about four hours ago

"Out. It's clear that I have been over run here." Fang said, opening the door and leaving.

Angel, who was next to me on the couch, giggled. I smiled at her before standing up. I went to the kitchen and got a soda. I heard Nudge giggled from her room. Her and Ella were in there doing whatever they do. I think that Angel said that they were calling guys that Ella knows, annoying them probably. Angel and I were watching TV. Well, Angel is. I don't like cartoons but I love spending time with Angel. I grabbed her a soda too and walked back into the living room.

"Max?" Angel asked as I sat next to her.

"Yeah?" I handed her the soda.

"Fang's mad at me."

"About?"

"Iggy."

I took a deep breath. "Angel, you're messing with things that you need to leave alone."

"But Max, Iggy has loved you for a long time. He never dated in high school because he wanted you to get tired of Fang but you didn't."

"Ange, the reason Iggy didn't date was because no one wanted him."

"So? He loves you… more than Fang does."

I stood up. "Tell the girls that I'll be back later."

"Max, he does!" Angel yelled at me as I walked out the door. I went out of the building and into the parking lot. Leaning up against my truck was no other then Fang. He was smoking a cigarette. He looked up when he herd my footsteps.

"Max what's wrong?" He asked, taking one last puff of his cigarette before throwing it to the ground and stomping it with his foot.

"Angel." I mumbled, leaning against his chest.

He wrapped his arms around me. "What she do?"

I shrugged. I was mad at Angel but I didn't want to get her in trouble with Fang. "Stuff."

Fang kissed my head. "Like?"

I shrugged again and he sighed. H let me go and dug him his pocket, revealing my keys. He gave me a small smile.

"Let's go for a ride." He said.

I sighed. "Fine."

I walked around to the passenger side and got in. Normally I wouldn't let Fang drive but I didn't feel like driving today. He got in and started the car. Fang gave me a smile before leaving the parking lot. I closed my eyes, thinking. Fang just drove, the radio playing softly in the background.

"Whatever she said about Iggy-" Fang started but I caught him off.

"I love you not Iggy." I mumbled, fighting the sleep that was starting to over take me.

"Yeah but-"

"But what Fang? I love you and you love me. I'm with you not Iggy. I'll never be with him."

Fang sighed. "Max-"

"Fang you are a lot better at looking hot than you are talking. Let's all do what we do best okay?"

"Fine."

We were quiet again until my cell rang. I pulled it out of my pocket and saw that it was Ella.

"What?" I answered.

"Angel thinks that you hate her."

I sighed. "Right now I am pretty mad at her but I don't hate her."

"Yeah well she thinks you do. What did she say anyways?"

I looked at Fang. "I'll tell you later."

"Okay. What should I tell Angel?"

"That I don't hate her."

"Alright. What are you and Fang doing?"

"Just driving." I smiled at Fang but he didn't notice.

"Oh. Well, when are you coming back?"

"I don't know. Soon I guess."

"Alright bye."

"Bye." I hung up and put my phone back in my pocket. "Let's go home Fang."

He nodded. "Should we pick up food first?"

"You got your wallet?"

"Yeah."

"Fine, let's get burgers."

Fang nodded. "What should we get for the girls?"

I told him what they would want as we pulled up to the drive thru. After we got our food, we headed home. Since the scientist designed us to eat a lot, there were about eight bags of food. We got back to the apartment's parking lot. We got out, Fang carrying the bags, and we went up to our apartment. I unlocked the door and we walked in.

"Girls food!" I called, walking to the couch and sitting down. Fang handed me two bags and then sat the others on the table. He grabbed a bag and started eating as did the girls when came out of the room.

"Max are you mad at me?" Angel asked once we all started eating.

I sighed. "No Angel."

"Yes you are. But you know that I'm right!"

"Right about what?" Fang asked.

"Nothing." I said quickly.

"What did she say?" Fang repeated.

"That Iggy loves her more than you do. It's true!" Angel said.

Fang, who was chewing, stopped. "What?"

"You don't love Max as much as Iggy. He would take a lot better care of her than you would."

Everyone was silent. I sighed, rolling my eyes. Fang sat his food down and stood up. He walked to our bedroom, slamming the door behind him. Nudge glared at Angel.

"I told you to shut up! You need to grow up Angel!" Nudge yelled at the ten year old. "You're not the cute little kid you were. You can't say whatever you want when you want!"

"You think that you're so smart but you can't even pass Spanish. You live with two people who speak it!" Angel countered.

"Shut up you little-"

"Enough!" I yelled standing up. "Nudge go to your room."

"Me? Angel is the one who's talking shi-"

"Come on Nudge." Ella stood up. "Let's finish eating in there."

"Whatever!" Nudge stormed off with Ella right behind her.

Once Nudge slammed her door shut, I looked at Angel. "Angel-"

"Why do you all yell at me? All I do is tell the truth!"

I sighed. "Angel, Nudge is right. I love you and so does Fang but this is our apartment. You can't come here causing problems. I love Fang and I am not going to be with Iggy. It's just not going to happen Ange. I know that you love Iggy and want him to be happy but respect Fang enough to not say things like that."

Angel looked at the ground. "Okay Max."

I gave her a small smile and stood. "I'm going to go talk to Fang."

She nodded as I walked to my bedroom door. I opened it and looked in. The lights were off but I could see Fang lying face down on the bed. I walked in, closing the door behind me. I walked over to the bed and crawled in next to him. He didn't even look up. I ran my hand down his back, soothingly. He groaned and rolled on his side to face me.

"Why do they all hate me?"

I looked at him funny. "They don't hate y-"

"Yes they do! Your mom, Iggy, Gazzy, and now Angel."

"Yeah but you have Nudge, Ella, and Total on your side." I leaned up and kissed him gently. "Most importantly, you have me."

He kissed me. "Yeah, I know."

"You need to finish eating." I started to stand. Fang stopped me by grabbing my arm.

"I love you so much more then him. I don't give a damn what Angel says." He looked me dead in the eye. "You know that right?"

I nodded. "Angel just needs to… well shut up to be blunt."

Fang chuckled. "I know. Let's go finish eating."

"Okay."

Ella's POV

"God I hate her!" Nudge yelled in frustration.

"Nudge why do you care so much?" I asked.

"What?"

"Why do you care that she doesn't want Max and Fang together?"

Nudge took a deep breath. "Because, Fang and Max have always taken care of us. Now, all the others are turning on them. They have a hard enough time with each other. They don't need them straining their relationship too."

I nodded my head. "Still Nudge. You are always going off on Angel. Why?"

She shrugged. "Max has always let Angel get away with what she wants because she's the 'baby'. Then your mom always wanted to make her feel like she was at home. She always let her get out of chores because 'she was too young'. Angel needs a wakeup call and I plan on giving her one."

"I didn't know that you felt so strongly about that." I mumbled.

"Well I do." She sighed. "I'm just… tired of this. The only one who ever does anything for me and only me is Fang. I'm not going to let that little bitch ruin the one thing that's going good in his life."

"Is that why you don't talk to Iggy and Gazzy anymore?"

"Yeah. They all think that Iggy is so innocent. The poor little blind guy being beat up on by the strongest guy in the world. They all want Fang to be unhappy because Iggy is and that's not right. I just- URG! I don't know anymore."

Fang's POV

Max and I walked out of our bedroom and back into the living room. I sat down in the chair, not even looking at Angel. I was trying my hardest not to get mad at her but I was finding it hard. I love her but she needs to stay out of my relationship. Angel sighed and stood up.

"What are you doing Ange?" Max asked.

"Going home." She started for the door but Max stopped her.

"Let me take you." Max looked back at me. "The girls are in the guest- I mean Nudge's room."

I nodded, somewhat sad that Angel was leaving. I was losing everyone but… Max was worth it. Max and Angel walked out the door. The second they did Nudge and Ella came out of Nudge's room. They smiled at me and sat down on my couch. I'll let them though as a reward for staying on my side. I grabbed the remote and changed the channel.

"So she's not coming back?" Ella asked.

"Angel? No." I answered. "You can go home if you want Ella."

"I don't."

I nodded. "What time is it?"

"Three I think." Nudge replied.

"I'm going to go start my home work." Ella stood up.

"You got homework over thanksgiving break?" I was shocked. I didn't remember getting work over break. Then again, I was normally drunk half the time or was to busy with Max to do homework.

"Yeah. I'm in advanced classes so I get more work." Ella headed to Nudge's room.

"You're not in any advanced classes?" I asked Nudge.

She snorted. "No."

"You could be."

"So could have you."

I nodded. "Good point."

Nudge cleared her throat. "Max said that you had some rules for me?"

I nodded again. "No sex, whether it be here or anywhere else. No guys over ever. Homework is to be finished. You have a curfew of two in the morning. You break it, I change it to ten. You break that and well… you never leave this house again. What you do outside here, besides sex, is none of my business. Max and I smoked, drank, tried a few drugs, I really could care less what you try but you bring it here, I will throw you out. Understand?"

"Yeah. So how long can I stay?"

I shrugged. "Forever for all I care. You follow my rules, you never have to leave. Especially the sex rule. Sex is bad."

"You and Max had sex when you were fifteen." Nudge pointed out.

"Yeah and if I had gotten her pregnant, I would still be around. You break up with your boyfriends every two weeks. "

"I would use protection."

I shook my head. "Doesn't always work. Plus, if I ever did find out that you were having sex, I would kill who ever it was with."

"Why do you care so much?"

I shrugged. "Discussion is over."

"Is it going to be like that every time I ask a question you can't answer?"

"Either that or this." I turned up the TV. "Now either shut up or go to your room."

She rolled her eyes but kept her mouth shut. Max came in a few minutes later. She smiled at Nudge and walked towards the chair that I was sitting in. She sat in my lap and I wrapped my arms around her. I kissed her neck, forgetting that Nudge was there. But of course, she had to ruin it by talking.

"Do you guys have to do that in here?"

I sighed, removing my lips from her neck. "New rule. This is Max's and my apartment. We do what we want where we want. The only safe place for you is your room. Stay there and never come out."

Max elbowed me. "Fang's kidding. What happened to Ella?"

"Homework." Nudge answered.

"You don't have any?" Max asked.

"No."

Max did the thing that only she was allowed to do. She took the remote and changed the channel. Bitch. I let her though. Mostly because if I didn't, I would have to hear her complain the rest of the night. She flipped through channel while talking to Nudge. They were really getting on my nerves but again, I did nothing. After about an hour, my cell went off. I dug it out of my pocket.

"What?"

"Fang, you so need to come to Dave's tonight!" I heard Jonny's voice on the other end of the phone.

"Can't."

"Why?"

"Just can't!" Truthfully, I didn't want to hang out with them tonight. Well, Jonny at least. He would bring Cara and then she would want to sit by me, talk to me, lean on me. You know what's weird, out of all the girls that Max is jealous of, she actually likes Cara. She thinks that she's alright. Figures.

"I told the guys you were whipped."

I growled. "I am not whipped."

Max giggled. "Yes you are."

I rolled my eyes, resisting the urge to push her out of my lap. "Look max, I'm busy."

"What if we let Max come?" Jonny offered.

I sighed. "What are we doing?"

"Just watching the game. But guess what? Dave got a new TV. It looks awesome!"

"Hold on." I moved to phone away form my mouth. "You want to go to Dave's tonight?"

Max snorted. "No. You friends are bastards."

"Max-"

"No. You go."

"You won't be mad?"

Max shook her head. "When are you going?"

"Game starts at seven." I told her. "So in two hours."

"Fine.'

I put the phone back towards my face. "I'll be there."

"Max coming?"

"No."

"Good. See ya at seven."

I hung up. "Why don't you want to go?"

"Because she would rather hand out with us. Right Max?" Nudge butted in.

"Nudge, another rule. Max and me will talk and you will shut up until spoken to."

"Nudge another new rule." Max said. "Ignore Fang."

"Does that mean I can have sex?"

"No." Max sighed. "And Fang, Nudge is right. I would rather be with them than you."

I stood, Max in my arms. I turned at sat her down in the chair. "I'm going to take a shower."

I walked into the bedroom and got another pair of jeans and a shirt, the on that I was wearing was starting to smell, and walked into the bathroom.

Max's POV

"What do you guys want to do when Fang leaves?" I asked.

"Can we go to the movies?"

"Yeah if Ella finishes her homework." I agreed. "Want to go see The Proposal?"

"Yeah!" Nudge smiled. "We have two hours though. What should we do now?"

"When Fang gets out of the shower, you should spill a soda on him."

"No! He'll get mad at me. You do it."

"Fine." I got up and got a soda, Nudge giggling. "Shush!"

I started to shake it up and kept shaking it until Fang walked out of the bathroom a few minutes later. I was sitting on the counter, waiting for him.

"Fang. I can't open my soda! Help me."

Fang rolled his eyes and walked over there. "The great Maximum Ride can't open a soda?"

I gave him a smile when he was in front of me. "I think I got it now."

I opened it, pointing it towards him. It sprayed all over him.

"What the fuck Max?" He yelled.

"Did I do that?" I asked innocently.

Fang clenched his fist. "I just took a shower!"

I shrugged. "It was an accident."

"Stupid bitch!" He walked back into the bathroom, slamming the door behind him.

I laughed along with Nudge. I sat on the couch next to her. She giggled, lying her head on my shoulder.

"That killed ten minutes." I said.

"Yeah."

"You never told me what happened between you and David." I said, mentioning her old boyfriend.

She shivered. "He was a creep. We had only been dating for a week and he wanted to have sex."

"Oh. You better not tell Fang." I looked behind me to make sure that he hadn't come out of the bathroom. "But he was a jerk anyways."

"Yeah I know. Yesterday though, I was talking to that guy Kevin and we've got a date on Saturday!"

"Kevin's white. It thought that you wanted someone who was black?"

Nudge and I had talked a lot about the guys that she dates. She always has told me that she wanted a black guy so that her kids aren't mixed. I don't get why it matters but Nudge is… well Nudge. It that's what she wants then that's what she wants.

"I know but I'm just using him to get Demarkis." She explained.

"I thought that you were over him?" Demarkis was her boyfriend about two months ago. They actually lasted about three months, which is a record for Nudge. He broke up with her because he 'found somebody new.' Fang and I never had those problems. I think that we really broke up twice but were back together the second the other mentioned a date with someone else.

"I was but when I dated David, he got mad and now if I date Kevin, he'll get really mad!"

I rolled my eyes. "Does Kevin know that you're using him?"

"No but-"

"Nudge, Kevin has been your friend since you moved her and has had a crush on for just as long. You could ruin your friendship by doing this."

"Max you don't get it! You have Fang and always will. I want Demarkis!"

I sighed. "Nudge every time Demarkis came by the house, he was a jerk. Why do you want him?"

"You just don't get it." Nudge lifted her head off my shoulder and crossed her arms.

"You right. I don't get it!"

"He loves me." She said.

I rolled my eyes. "He told you this?"

"Well, no but-"

"Then how do you know?"

"I just do!" Nudge yelled as Fang walked out of the bathroom. He sat down in the chair, glaring at me.

"What's wrong Fang?" I asked.

"Shut up." He crossed his arms. "You know what's wrong."

I giggled. "You have to admit that that was funny."

Fang said nothing. He just sat there, staring at the TV. Right now, a Bones rerun was on. Fang had already seen it so I know that he wasn't really watching it. Nudge was just sitting there not really watching it either. I think that she was mad that I said that Demarkis was a jerk. He's a loser though! Nudge can do so much better. Truthfully, I would rather see her with Kevin but that will probably never happen. Here's to dreaming!

"Why are you guys being so quiet?" Ella asked an hour later, walking out of Nudge's room.

"Because Max says that Demarkis doesn't love me but she just doesn't like him because she doesn't want me to be happy! She thinks that she so smart but the only guy that she has really ever dated is Fang and well… hate to break it to you Max but it's not that hard to date someone who doesn't talk!"

Fang gave me a questioning glance but I just rolled my eyes and said, "Nudge I said it because he treats you like trash but if you want to be with him, go ahead! I could care less."

"Fine I will." She said.

"Good."

Fang stood. "What time is it?"

"6:45." Ella said.

Fang nodded. "I'm gone. Bye."

He walked over to me and kissed my head and whispered, "You're a bitch," in my ear. I pushed him away, smiling at him. Nudge rolled her eyes but I ignored her. Fang smiled at me and left. Ella sat in the chair he was in seconds ago.

"You finished your homework?" I asked.

"What I was going to do today."

I nodded. "Do you still want to go to the movies Nudge?"

"Yeah."

"What are we going to see?" Ella asked.

"The Proposal. I'll go look up the times on Fang's laptop." I got up and went into my bedroom. Once I found the next closest time, I walked out. "Next one starts at eight."

"One hour." Nudge moaned. "Now what?"

Ella pulled out her cell phone. Nudge glared at her.

"Who are you calling?" I asked, wondering why Nudge was glaring at her.

"Jason." She said smiling.

"Why are you mad Nudge?"

"She's just rubbing it in my face that she has a boyfriend." Nudge said.

I rolled my eyes. Why does everything somebody does have to mean something about Nudge? "I doubt that's what she's doing."

"How do you know? You do the same thing with Fang!"

Ella coughed. "PMS." She coughed again.

"Shut up!" Nudge yelled at her.

I sighed. "Not everyone's out against you Nudge."

"Hi Jas!" Ella said, standing. She started walking to Nudge's room. "No, I'm at my sisters' house. Yeah. What? No I can't. Ew! Shut up. No you shut up. I said you." She closed the door.

"Well that was entertaining." Nudge mumbled.

"Why are you so negative about everyone else? Ever think that you annoy people too?"

Nudge sighed. "Yeah but-"

"Nudge you told Angel to grow up. I think that you need to too. All you do is complain. Do something about it instead of whining. You want a boyfriend that will actually stay with you, then don't go for guys that dump every girl they are with."

Nudge was silent. I guess I was being a little harsh but she was getting on my nerves. All she ever does is bitch and moan about how hard she has it and that everyone else has it easy. I get how she could used to say that when we were on the run or living at the school but now she has Mom, Fang, and me looking after her. What more could she possibly want? After about twenty minutes, Ella walked back in.

She sighed, sitting down in the chair. "Guess what?"

"What?"

"Jason's parents are moving."

"I'm sorry." I said, looking at her. Her and Jason had been going out off and on for the past year. I figured that they would get married when she turned eighteen. Well, mostly because Ella kept hinting at it. He was a pretty nice guy. I think that he's good for Ella. "Where is he moving too?"

"I said his parents are moving. He's eighteen. He said that he refuses to leave. Isn't that great?"

"Um… Where's he going to stay?" Nudge asked.

Ella took a deep breath. "He's buying an apartment and I'm moving in with him."

My mind went blank. What did she just say? Once I got my composure back, I said, "You're sixteen Ella!"

"So? I'm about to be seventeen!"

"You were going out on a limb when Mom let you date him. No way is she going to let you move in with him."

"I don't need her permission."

"Yeah you do." Nudge rolled her eyes. "Besides, I thought that you didn't want to have sex until marriage?"

"Just because we're living together, doesn't mean we're having sex." Ella defended.

I snorted. "Does Jason know that? I mean, he's a nice guy but he's still a man. When you guys move in together, you're basically saying that you can have sex."

"You just don't get it!"

I sucked in a breath. "Why do you both assume that I don't get anything? You don't think that Fang and I had issues? You act like our relationship is perfect. I would give anything to have not moved in with Fang. Now I have no life. So guess what girls, you don't get it!

They were both quiet for a moment before Nudge spoke. "You regret moving in with Fang?"

I sighed. "Yeah."

"Why?" Ella asked.

"Fang and I did a lot of stupid things and I thought that meant that I loved him. Now... I'm not sure."

Nudge gasped. I don't think that I've ever really heard someone do that before. She looked at me for a moment.

"You don't love Iggy do you?" She asked quietly.

"God no!" I can't believe that she thought that! "I'm just… not sure that Fang and I are right for each other."

"Does Fang know that?" Ella asked.

I shrugged. "If I think it, he has to too."

"A-Are you going to leave him?" Nudge asked. She was really upset by this.

I shook my head. "I don't think so. Maybe I do love him. I am pretty sure that I do but sometimes… I don't know."

"You shouldn't stay with Fang if you're not happy." Ella said. "I mean, if you think about it, you guys never really have dated anyone else. Just those kids in Virginia and that one guy from high school. What if you really don't love him? You could end up having his kids but breaking up with him. What then?"

"Shut up Ella!" Nudge said immediately. "Fang loves Max and he takes care of her. You don't know anything!"

I looked at Nudge in confusing. In high school, when ever Fang and I had a fight, Nudge would be the first to try and fix things between us. I thought that she just wanted to be helpful but after yelling at Angel and Ella I don't know. "Nudge, Ella can have her own opinion. Why are you so scared of Fang and me splitting up?"

She shrugged. "I just don't want you guys to leave each other."

I sighed. "I have no reason to leave Fang Ella. And what if I am wrong about loving him but I leave and he moves on? Fang does everything for me. I know that to you guys he seems like a jerk but he cares about me. I can't risk losing him."

"If he really loves you, then he wouldn't move on." Ella insisted.

"I said shut up Ella!" Nudge screamed, standing. "Just shut the fuck up!"

Nudge ran to her room, slamming the door behind her. I looked at Ella who just shrugged. I sighed. What was wrong with Nudge? Why does she want us together so bad? She acts like it'll be the end of the world if we split, which I hope we never do. But if it ever did happen, what would Nudge do?

"What's up with her?" Ella asked. "She flipped out and all I said was that you should look at your options."

I nodded. "I'll go see what's wrong and then we'll leave for the movie."

"Okay."

I stood. "Oh, and Ella?"

"Yeah?"

"You are not moving in with him."

Fang's POV

I closed my eyes. I really didn't want to watch the game. My team was losing so bad that there was no way that they could win. I wonder what Max is doing right now? Probably watching TV. I hope she's as bored as me. Not to sound clingy or anything but I'm bored most of the time with out her. Okay, that did sound clingy. Forget I mentioned it.

"Yeah!" Mark screamed when his team scored. Bastard.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Jonny said, standing.

"And we care because?" Dave asked.

Jonny ignored him and walked out. The second he was gone, Cara, who I was sitting on the couch with, moved towards me. I acted like I didn't notice but she didn't care.

"So why happened to Max? I thought she was coming?" Cara asked.

I shrugged.

"Ooh, silent type. I like that." She said.

I stood up and walked to the kitchen. I grabbed a soda and walked back in. I sat down next to her again but only because there was nowhere else to sit. She moved close to me again so that he leg was touching mine. I ignored her and opened my soda. I opened it and took a sip.

Jonny came back about fifteen minutes later. "I suggest that nobody uses that bathroom for at least an hour."

"Dude, why can't you go home to do that?" Dave yelled at him. "Damn!"

Jonny ignored him and sat on the other side of Cara. "Anybody gonna order pizza?"

"You work at a pizza place." Mark said.

"Yeah but… look it's just a better idea if someone else gets it."

I sighed pulling my cell out. "I'll do it."

"You got money? I thought that Max would have all the money, you know, since she wears the pants in the relationship." Jonny mocked.

"Man shut up." Mark said. "No one thinks you're funny."

Jonny snorted. "Oh yeah cause they all think that you're funny."

I rolled my eyes and ordered three large pizzas. Once I did that, I leaned back trying to block out Jonny and Mark, they were still fighting. I tried to concentrate on the game but it was hard. My team was still losing! I could play better than them.

Max's POV

I walked into Nudge's room and saw her lying face down on her bed. I walked over to the bed and sat down. She didn't even notice me. I sighed.

"Nudge, tell me what's wrong."

She lifted her head. "I don't know what's wrong! Just leave me alone."

I shook my head. "We need to leave for the movie. You want to go?"

"Yeah." She stood.

"Are you mad at me?" I asked.

She shrugged. "Just forget it okay?"

I nodded, though I planned to bring it up later. I couldn't tell Fang though because then he'll ask what we were fighting about and no way am I ever going to tell him. We walked out of her bedroom door and into the living room.

"Ready Ella?" I asked.

"Yeah, let's go."

She got up and we walked out the door. Fang had taken the car so we got in my truck. I decided to let Ella drive since I was thinking about things. We drove in silence, no on having anything to say. We went to the movie. I guess it was good. It was just another love story to me. But Nudge and Ella really liked it.

"That was great! I loved it." Nudge raved as we walked back into the apartment. "Didn't you love it Ella?"

"Yeah. It was good." Ella agreed. "When will Fang get home?"

I shrugged, sitting down on the couch. Ella sat next to me and Nudge sat in the chair. I turned on the TV. About thirty minutes later, Fang walked in. He gave me a smile before walking into our bedroom. I sighed, standing.

"There's sandwich stuff in the fridge or order a pizza or something." I said, standing. I walked into our bedroom.

"Hey bitch." Fang smiled at me. "I start my new job tomorrow. You know the gas station that's like tow blocks from my old one? That's the one. You're going to come see me right?"

"Yeah." I mumbled.

"What's wrong?" Fang asked, as I walked over to him. I leaned against his chest and he held me. "Are you okay Max?"

I shrugged. "I'm just tired."

"It's only ten thirty."

"I just am okay?" I moved out of his arms and laid down on the bed.

"Did you eat?"

"We went and saw a movie so I ate popcorn."

Fang lay down on the bed next to me. "I'll go and make you something if you want."

"No." I turned to face him. "You don't have to."

Fang nodded. "You going to bed?"

"Yeah. The girls are still up though."

Fang nodded again. "What are they going to eat?"

"Sandwiches I guess." I mumbled. "Night Fang."

Fang kissed my head. "Night bitch."

I rolled my eyes before closing them. I knew that Fang was still there. I could hear his breathing. Eventually, I fell asleep.

Fang's POV

After about twenty minutes, Max fell asleep. I wonder what her problem is. She seemed worried about something. I kissed the top of her head gently and got up. I walked out of the bedroom, and into the living room. I saw the girls lounging on the couch.

"Hey, what did you guys do to Max?" I asked.

"Nothing." Nudge said.

"Why do you think that we did something?" Ella asked.

I shrugged. "You guys hungry?"

"We made sandwiches. By the way, you need more… well, more everything." Nudge smiled sheepishly.

I rolled my eyes, sitting down in the chair. "Max and I both have work tomorrow. Are you guys going to stay over here or go home?"

"Stay." They both said at the same time.

I nodded. "Fine but nobody is allowed over here."

"Not even Jason?" Ella asked.

"Defiantly not Jason."

Nudge giggled. "She's moving in with him."

"Nudge!" Ella yelled at her.

"What do you mean?" What were they talking about now?

"Ella says that she's moving in with him." Nudge insisted.

I sighed standing. "As fun as this has been, I'm going to bed."

"Night Fang." They called before resuming their argument about whether or not she could move in with him. I walked into my bedroom and closed the door. Max was still sleeping.

I sighed. She was wearing her jeans still but I didn't feel like waking her up so I decided to let her sleep. I crawled in next to her, set the alarm, and then went to bed.
