Max POV

Previously

"That's Brigit…Lissa's mom!" I just started laughing again from hearing it out loud where Fang on the other hand had a bit of a scared/ disgusted face on, but of course for only a second or to before he replaced it with the same blank expression.

I had to use both my hands to hold on to the branch and not fall and Fang…well he just sat there trying to hide the embarrassment from his eyes and the slight red from his cheeks. Wow, Fang Blushing. That is something I never thought I would see.

After about ten more minutes of laughing, I looked back up at Fang.

"…So," He muttered.

"How's life," I said…you know making conversation and all.

A shrug. Usual Fang answer.

"Have you ever considered speech class? I once had this cousin who was mute, then we took her to this therapist one day, and now she won't shut up. Seriously! She's almost as bad as Nudge,"

His answer to this was an Are-You-Kidding-Me look. The therapist sounds better and better with every word he doesn't say.

Beep!

I reached down to my front pocket to get my phone out.

Nudge: Iggy and I got out like you told us to, so now what…oh and did you get out. What am I saying? I bet you're out.

What? Did you think I sent them in their unprepared? Yeah right.

Flash Back

"Ok guys before I take you to this party there are some things you need to know," I started slamming my pointer stick onto the chalkboard. Everyone except for the little kids gathered around me on the couches looking at me like I was wearing a clown suit and died my hair pink.

"First of all, don't drink anything. No punch, it's spiked. Don't bring drinks and set them down, they will be drugged.

Second, Guys stay away from any girls with red hair and girls stay away from a majority of the guys.

Third, if you hear sirens, get out. And I mean seriously run or else. Igs, you find Nudge head out the side door, if you can. Hide until I call and tell you otherwise. Ella, I went over this with you last year so go the same way and I'll call you. Fang…Well you can either go with Iggy and Nudge, or you can go with Ella…Or I guess you could go by yourself, just get out and I will call you and tell you where to go."

End Flash Back

Yup! Of course I'm out and I found Fang too. Alex also got out, but I'm not sure about Ella. I bet she did. I'll call her. That was my reply to Nudge.

Next I dialed Ella's number while Fang still sat there staring.

"Max! You'll never guess what happened!" She screamed after one ring.

"Oh No, Els. Did you get caught?"

"No but guess who did? Wait, don't guess. I want to tell you. Lissa! Apparently one of the invitations was lying on the ground and the cop found it and of course Lissa's name was all over it. I'm perched in a tree near by so I'll tell you when they're gone."

After laughing… again I told her to call Nudge and we both hung up.

"So, it looks like we are going to be here for a while," I said to Fang as we started to lapse into an awkward silence.

Nudge POV

"Well that party was fun before it…well, before the cops came. I wish we had these kinds of parties back home instead of all the dinner parties my parents drag me to. Do your parents ever drag you to those fancy restaurants where you order like a thirty-dollar meal and you can barely see your entrée it's so small. There was this one pla-" I was cut off by Iggy's hand… for the third time this night.

After debating between licking and biting his hand I decided on licking it.

"Eww. You'd think you would have grown out of that by now," He said wiping it on his shirt. I giggled. That should teach him not to stop me in the middle of rants.

"The party was fun and yes, my parents do drag me to those boring dinner parties where I can't see my meal and end up ordering Thousands of dollars in food," He answered my previous rant and laid back against the tree. "How long do you think we are going to be here?"

"I'm not sure. Ella said she'd call us when the cost was clear," I replied, in return leaning back against my own tree.

Ella POV

So bored. So, so, so, so bored. I sang in my head. Sitting in a tree, watching cops walk in and out and then back in and then back out again wasn't as interesting as it sounds.

I've been out here for hours already and I have also made up fake personalities and life story for all of the cops.

I wonder what everyone else is doing. I bet Nudge and Iggy were up in their tree flirting. Alex was doing who knows what. Max and Fang… I really wonder what they're doing. Max is so clueless Fang likes her and Fang so clueless she likes him back. I wonder if she even knows she likes him.

Max POV

"So how do you like living with Nudge's Family?" I asked trying to break the silence.

"It was hard at first; getting over my parents deaths but now I'm ok. And they are nice," He said. Wow, a full sentence. It was actually kind of creepy.

"I'm sorry about your parents, but you probably don't want my sympathy. I hated it," I replied.

He gave me a questioning look.

"I got in a bad boating accident a couple of years ago and I remember hating it," I answered.

He nodded.

"But one good thing did come from it," I said, keeping the conversation going. "I live in the moment. I never go to bed at night regretting anything,"

He again nodded. His eyes shone understanding.

"What's one thing you're going to go to bed tonight regretting?" I questioned hoping I'd get a verbal answer out of him for once.

"Not getting up the courage to kiss you sooner," he awnsered.

I looked expecting to see a smirk on his face to show he was joking, but was met instead by his dark eyes staring at me as he leaned in closer.

A/N: Sorry I know this is the worst chapter ever but I am really just having one of the worst Christmas yet. My grandfather is in the hospital and my cat is missing.

All I want for Christmas is reviews…well actually I also wanted a pony, but I love Reviews More!
