THAT'S ALL I CAN TELL YOU

MAX'S P.O.V

2:30 Saturday Afternoon

Okay so time is passing so freaking slow right now. After what feels like forever of staring at the clock it finally changes 2:31!

"Max, would you mind telling be why you are staring at the clock?" Phil says in a formal tone of which he only uses with me.

"Actually I would mind telling you, so on that note I won't tell you." I mutter going up to my room where I can mean mug the clock in peace.

3:00

Oh My Gosh! I am getting ready to punch this clock! It is seriously messing with me! I have been sitting here for an hour but the clock only says it has been 30minutes. I am seriously going to start going by my own mental clock!

3:29

Come Onn! I mean really it feels like time just froze! If the clock doesn't change right now I will shove my foot up its battery slo- 3:30. Remind me again why I have been so anxious for this time to come. As I walked out of my front door and towards the park, where Fang was waiting, I felt like I was about to piss myself.

"Hey" Fang says as I approach him

"Hey" I say sitting on the swing next to him. I can feel his gaze on me but I just keep staring at the burgundy mulch under my feet.

"Max you don't have to tell me if you aren't ready." He whispers caringly.

I take a deep breath before I speak "No I want to tell you, I feel like I need to tell someone" A few silent minutes pass before I begin my story.

"Okay so when I was about seven years old my mom decided she didn't want to be in our family anymore so she left me, my father and my twin brother, Ari. My father, Jeb, was a successful scientist, most of his work was seeing how animals like birds related to humans. He would bring home big books full of pictures of millions of birds, we used to sit on the living room couch for hours just looking at them. To tell the truth that was my favorite part of the day, sure the bonding with my father was cool but I really enjoyed seeing all the different kinds of birds. Well, I enjoyed it up until Jeb produced this obsession, after a few months of our bonding over birds he started getting this weird smile on his face when he looked at the pictures. What hurt me most is the father that I knew and loved started to wear away, and in his place was this man who would sit at the kitchen table all night just looking through a book full of pictures." I stopped for a minute to wipe tears off my face. I made sure not to look at Fang though I couldn't bear to see his reaction.

"One day he came back from work early and he had this crazed look on his face. Ari and I were sitting on the couch watching Tom and Jerry, when he came in he grabbed Ari by the wrist and pulled him off the couch.

"Come on Boy, you are coming to work with me!" He said cheerily pulling Ari out of the door before he was out of the door Ari turned and looked at me. We had this twin telepathy thing so he sent a message into my head Max help me! Don't let him take me! I nodded Don't worry Ari I won't! A tear falling from my cheek Promise? It is then I realize that he too was crying I promise and with that my twin brother was gone. That day I didn't know that would be the last time I saw my brother. By the time I called the police and told them the location of Jeb's lab Ari was dead. His funeral had to be closed casket because he was so deformed. Ari and I didn't know that for months Jeb had been experimenting mixing human and bird DNA. I….I let him down…I broke my promise…I told him no I promised him I wouldn't let Jeb take and hurt him! It's my fault that he isn't here right now!" I can't continue because my sobs are getting more violent.

"It's okay Max." Fang whispers soothingly as I take a deep breath

"Jeb was found guilty of murdering his own son and was sentenced to life in prison. So I was an eleven year old girl with no parents in foster care. No one wanted me said I came from a rotten family and was probably a bad seed. That is until Nancy and Phil came along once they saw me the first time they knew that I was a good kid but, just had a bad past. So now I'm living with them but they quickly realized that I like being by myself and don't like help, so we don't talk much. When I first moved in with them I ate when I was sad, I ate when I was lonely (which was all the time because I pushed Nancy and Phil away) you don't have to be a genius to figure that I got a fat ass. I quickly became best friends with a girl who lived a few houses down A.K.A Bridget. I trusted her and told her all my secrets and she told me hers, we were best friends. About a year or so ago I was looking for Bridget and I couldn't find her so I went looking at her house. All those years of being friends with her and I had never been in her house, we always either met up somewhere or she would come over my house. When I got there the door was ajar "Bridgid?" I scream "Bridgid are you there?" I say "Bridgid?" I say once more but it came out more like a whimper. "Hello, Maximum" a husky voice said. The voice I don't know why but it sent an unwanted chill down my spine." I pause for a second to finally look at Fang's reaction. He is clutching the swing tightly and has an unreadable expression on his face.

"Bridget's father wasn't physically abusive but, he was emotionally. As you probably know I wasn't the skinniest girl or for that fact I am still not the prettiest. He used that against me called me all different names and talked about how my mother didn't even want he was just a mean man! I was emotionally scarred. When I finally told Bridget about how her dad treated me she told me she understood and would tell her mom. A week went by and I hadn't heard from Bridget she totally avoided me. In that week my attitude changed I decided to lose weight which was a lot harder than I thought! Especially when you have an obsession with chocolate chip cookies, but I came to school and saw Bridget had joined Lissa's posy, which we both hated, and I decided I was done with her. That's kind of hard though when she knows all of my secrets and could tell the whole school within two damn seconds." I finish my story looking down at my lap. We sit in silence for a few minutes before Fang surprisingly speaks first.

"You're wrong you know." He says lowly, I look up a little confused

"Huh?" I say stupidly

"You were wrong when you said you weren't and still aren't the prettiest girl." He says and pauses hesitantly "You are beautiful" he mutters and before I can reply his lips are on mine.
