Chapter Ten
Max POV
"I'll see you two later ok?" Maya told me. I nodded, and she followed Angel and Nudge out of the nurse's office. Since the nurse was currently dealing with another kid, I helped Fang sit on the couch and pulled up a chair to sit beside him.
"You don't have to stay here with me. I'll be ok," he said weakly. I could tell he was trying to stay awake.
"I kinda do. 1) Maya told me to stay. And 2) I want to." He blushed lightly and I took his hand in mine. "Fang, don't worry about anything except being ok, alright? The nurse, the band, and I will handle the rest."
"I can take care of myself." That stung, but I didn't show it. Besides, he probably didn't know what he was saying.
"I want to help you. I just want you to understand that." He nodded and looked up into my eyes.
"Hello, Max dear. I didn't expect to see you here," the nurse said suddenly. I jumped back and looked at her. I hadn't realized I was leaning forward towards Fang until now.
"Hi. There's something wrong with Fang. He fell to his knees in pain this morning after Lissa touched him, and I don't know why."
"How are you feeling, Mr. Walker?"
"Kinda woozy. My back hurts a lot, and so does my chest."
"Could you lift up your shirt for me please?"
He did as she asked, and I gasped: there were scars all over his chest. I covered my mouth with my hand when I saw a long scar going down the middle of his chest.
"Fang, what happened to you?" He only shook his head. I bit my lip and looked away as the nurse started to treat him.
"Max, would you mind stepping out while I ask Fang a few questions?" I nodded and walked out of the office. I sighed and leaned back on the wall.
"Max?" I looked up and saw a girl looking at me. I took in her dark hair and brown eyes then ginned.
"Hey there, Ivy. How's it going?" Ivy is a friend of me and Maya's. We met before we started up MENAM. She's an A student along with my twin and I.
"Pretty good. Why are you here in front of the nurse's office?"
"Fang got hurt pretty bad. He has so many scars…." My voice trailed off, thinking about his cuts.
"Max, do you have a crush on Lissa's boyfriend?" she asked slowly. I looked down at my hands, blushing.
"Maybe. I don't know." She put a hand on my shoulder.
"Relax, it's alright. Maybe if he knew, he'll finally dump the ho." I laughed, the tension easing from my shoulders.
"Thanks, Ivy. You always know how to make me feel better."
"Hey, what are friends for? Look, I gotta go to class. I'll catch you later?" I nodded, and she jogged off.
Yay, new character is in! FAX will begin momentarily.
Max: yah, like in the next chapter.
Me: MAAAAAAAAAAAAAX! You weren't supposed to say anything! That's it missy. In the corner for a time out.
Max: you can't make me.
Me: I'll make Lissa beat you up if you don't.
Max: I'm going, I'm going. (stands in the corner, muttering bad words)
Me: if you're good, I'll give you a dozen chocolate chip cookies.
Max: made by my mom?
Me: duh.
Max: yay! (stays quiet)
Me: oh boy, now I have to call her mom. Please review while I get Max's cookies.
