Chapter 10

Max POV

I spent the day at the hospital with Iggy and blew off school. I sat at his bed side my head resting on the edge of his bed. I was talking to him, pretending like he could hear me. I would tell him stories and just pretend he was listening. It was just me and him in the room right now.

"At least this rooms kind of nice" I said softly, "Ya know there's a window with a nice view. And were in the back of the building so no one will bother us" That was how the talking to him started then it escalated a bit around 11pm.

"Hey Ig. Your going to be ok. I'm going to make sure of it. I'm meeting Fang tonight behind the gas station we go to for smokes. He's going to tell me why he did this to you. I know hes a cruel monster and you really don't approve of me going to check this out alone. I think I can handle it." I Sighed and paused then continued.

"I need to know Iggy. I need to know why this happened. If someone is out to get you I want to know. Trust me big brother I'm going to figure everything out and your going to be ok. I just need you to wake up for me ok?"

"Next time I come here I want you to wake up and be ok. I know your stronger than this. I love you big brother. I need you to stay alive for me" I kissed his forehead, "I'm going now. I'll know why this happened tomorrow. At least I hope."

Midnight rolled around pretty quickly and I was on my feet fast. The twins had agreed for me to stay at the motel with them so I didn't have to stay at my house alone.

Right now both of them were snoring loudly at there sleeping spots. I slipped on my shoes and was out the door without even making a sound. I started walking down the road.

I knew my way to that gas station and it wasn't far. There weren't many street lights from here to the gas station, but I wasn't afraid of the dark or this city. It was more like the people in the city. I rounded a corner when I heard the loud engine of a motorcycle. Ducking back into a bush alongside the road I waited for the motorcycle to pass. When it was gone I continued on my way.

I came up to the gas station and walked around back. Expecting the entire Ghost gang, I was surprised to only see Fang. His bike was parked right by him and he was leaning against the wall smoking a cigarette. Instead of being in his usual gang outfit I was surprised to see him in normal jeans and a red shirt.

"Fang?" I said slowly. He took a drag off his cigar and blew out a smoke ring before turning to me.

"I see you showed up." He flicked his cigar to the ground as I walked towards him stopping inn front of him.

"I want to know why you hurt my brother so badly" I said crossing my arms. He pulled out another cigar and lit it, then held out one for me. I took it and he lit it with his lighter.

"It wasn't my intention." He said slowly, "Didn't mean for him to go to the hospital." I leaned against the wall.

"Then whose intention was it? Were you paid off?" He looked up at the sky before nodding.

"Yeah I was. Ashley paid me off to get rid of him." I stared at him. Ashley? No she loves Iggy, why would she want him dead! "She's trying to destroy your family."

"You didn't have to listen to her. How much did she pay you?" I blew out a smoke ring and sighed. He gave a dry laugh and looked over at me.

"Have your eyes always been brown?" I frowned as I looked over at him. He was giving a horrible smile, his cigar half out of his mouth.

"Yes they have, now answer me. Why does she want to destroy my family?" He laughed again and looked back up at the sky. His face suddenly became focused as he turned towards me.

"She hates you Max. She hates everything about you." I knew Ashley hated me. She's always hated me. Ever since the day she met me, because if I told Iggy to break up with her, he just might. That and she want to be the only girl in a gang so she can get everyone's attention.

"I know she hates me, but she hates me enough to have someone kill her boyfriend?" He sighed as if he was trying to think of an explanation.

"She doesn't love Iggy. She never has, she used him to get into the gang and gain his trust." I realized then how suddenly she joined the gang. It was like one day she was suddenly hanging around with us, then the next she was a member. It was so strange.

"Your dad was a cop right?" I looked up at him and nodded.

"Yeah, chief, why?" He sighed.

"Chief Ride caught both of her parents for having drugs, both of them were killed in a gun fire between them. Your dad made the final shot which killed her mom then her dad"

I stared up at him. It was my dad's job to protect the peace and stop bad people from doing bad things. At least he did when he was alive. My dad was the best police officer I have ever known. He could track down a criminal across several states and be home in time for dinner. He knew how to handle a lot of guns and even taught me and Iggy how to shoot.

"Then they deserved what they got!" I exclaimed.

"That's exactly what Ashley told me when I agreed to do this." He looked over to me, "Its really cold out here. Let's head over to Thirsty's bar for a drink and we'll continue this alright?" I sighed rubbing my cold arms. It was November so it was getting cold. Not to cold but cold.

"You can ride on my bike." He walked over to his bike and got on turning it on. I slowly walked forward and got on the back. He only had one helmet so he gave it to me. I strapped it on and climbed on behind him. He revved the engine and started to go. I gripped his waist tighter as we sped down the road.

I was riding down the road, on a motorcycle, with an enemy gang leader at 1 in the morning. I was so badass.
