MAYAPOV

Lissa dropped me off at the corner of my street. Mom didn't know that I had snuck out to go to a 21+ club with Lissa and the other cheerleaders. It was so much fun. I had a bunch of guys all over me. It was the best day-er night EVER! I hope we could do it again. But I'd have to sneak out so mom wouldn't find out.

I walked up the street to my house, but I saw yellow do-not-cross tape around the perimeter. Our house was in ashes. I ran over to Fang's house and knocked on the door really hard. Max opened the door. What was she doing at my boyfriend's house!

"What the hell are you doing at my man's house?" I screeched at her. She glared at me and sucked in a breath to yell at me.

"WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING? WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN DOING! IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED OUR HOUSE IS BURNT DOWN! WHERE WERE YOU WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENED?" She growled at me. Ugh, she does not tell me what to do.

"You don't need to know. Now, tell me, why the hell are you at my boyfriend's house and not in our house?" I demanded. She laughed bitterly.

"Our house? Our house? If you haven't noticed, It's a big ass pile of ashes. Instead of worrying about me being in your 'boyfriend's' house, you should be worrying about where mom is." Her eyes got teary when she said mom.

"I did notice, why do you think I'm here? And where is mom, then?" I questioned her, angry that she was taking her anger out on me.

"Just...Just get in here," She opened the door wider. I stepped in and followed her to the living room. Everyone was huddled in blankets or hugging each other. Ella glared at Max, and Ari ran into her arms. She picked him up and hugged him. "We need to talk, so sit down, Maya." Max sat down on the pile of pillows and blankets and sat Ari in her lap. He snuggled in closer to her and lied his head in the crook of her neck.

"There-There was a fire at our house. I don't know how it started, but I was asleep. The house was in flames but I tried to escape. The house was also flooded with water. Someone got in and jammed the drains and let the water flood out. I was trying to find a way out, but then mom came in. She started choking on the smoke and passed out into a pile of scorching wood. I tried to save her-" I cut her off.

"Tried? What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means that I tried to save her, but I-I couldn't. Mom...She-" She was cut off again, but this time, Ella cut her off.

"You didn't try to save her. If you did, she would still be alive!" Ella hissed acidly at her.

"Shut up! I did try! I didn't see you jump into the flames to save her did you! NO! All you did was cry! I bet you didn't even pray that we would come out alive! You say it as if I didn't care about mom! What the hell is your problem! Why don't you just shut the hell up and quit blaming me!" Max shouted at her, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Why should I pray for a monster like you to live! All you did was take my mom's life, and I bet you don't even regret it!" Ella screamed at her. Her eyes were gushing streams of tears. I walked over to her and pulled her into me. "I bet Maya would have saved her, right?" She looked up at me.

I ignored her and looked up at Max. "You...You let her die? H-How could you?" She shook her head.

"I didn't let her die. I tried to save her." She hugged Ari tighter into her.

Nudge, Fang, and everyone else was staring at us. "Then why isn't she here?"

"...I'm not a damn super hero, Maya. I can't save everyone that I love from a fire when I was practically inhaling smoke as if it were oxygen. If I didn't try, she wouldn't have made it out before I was. If I didn't try, then the house would have been collapsed on her and not me. I did try. I tried my best to save her life while trying to live myself."

"Well I guess you accomplished that," I growled at her, "You lived but she didn't. Shows a lot of effort, sis." I hissed "sis" sarcastically.

"Why are you blaming it on me! YOU WERE THE ONE WHO WASN'T EVEN HOME OR AROUND TO HELP AT ALL! I DIDN'T SEE YOU IN THE CROWD OUTSIDE OUR HOUSE TRYING TO GET PAST THE POLICE TO SEE IF SHE WAS EVEN ALRIGHT!" She raised her voice at me.

"DON'T YOU YELL AT ME! IF I WERE THERE, I WOULD HAVE SAVED HER. YOU KNOW I WOULD HAVE!"

"...No, You wouldn't have. I bet you that you wouldn't even try to help her. If you were there and saw what happen, you'd probably faint and die when the house collapsed. You didn't see how she just ran into the house and automatically collapse into a pile of burning wood. You didn't hear her cries for help. You weren't even there to see to see it happen." She whispered the rest, voice cracking when she remembered what happened.

"No...No, I wasn't there but you should have put her before you. You didn't try hard enough if you're still here." I looked at the ground, "I'm ashamed of you."

She didn't say anything at first. Then, "Ha, ashamed of me? You should be ashamed of yourself. You weren't at the hospital when they were operating on her. You weren't at her funeral to say good-bye at least."

"I didn't know what happened!" I shrieked at her and threw my arms in the air.

"And who's fault is that?" She countered. Her eyes were blazing.

"Stop." A fragile voice begged. "Stop it! We're a family. Family's don't fight. Stop it!" Ari was crying and covering his ears. He hopped out of Max's lap and took off out the back door.

"Look what you did, Monster. You're scaring everyone away aren't you? You...You freak! You ruined our family with your...your idiotic actions!" Ella screeched at her. Max ignored her and sprinted into the back yard to chase down Ari.

MAXPOV

Ari had climbed up the old rickety tree house in Fang's backyard. He jammed the door with a piece of wood to make sure I couldn't get in.

"Ari...please, let me in." I begged him.

"No, you kept fighting. I don't want you guys to fight. We only have each other. We need to treat each other like family." He sobbed. I felt so bad. He was the one sitting there and listening to the fight, not having his say in anything. He was the only one that felt alone more than anyone else in the whole room. Everyone was ignoring him.

"I'm sorry. I promise I wont fight anymore. Please, please, come down. Please?" I hoped he would crawl down. I heard shuffling above me and the piece of wood removed. He climbed down and hugged my waist.

"Promise me you'll stop."

"I promise, Ari."

"No, I want to know that you'll stop fighting. And that we'll all be a happy family again. I want you to promise me that we'll be a family that loves each other again. Promise me that you'll protect me and the family from anything, no matter what. Promise me you'll always love us and always wants us to be happy." He wiped his eyes and looked down at his feet. I lifted his chin with my hand and bent down to his level.

"Ari, I will stop fighting. We will be a happy family again. I know we will be a loving family. I will never let anyone or anything hurt you. Or Ella, even if she hates me now. Or Maya, even if she hates me even more than before. I promise you that I will never stop loving you, even when I die. And I guaruntee that I'll do anything to keep you guys happy."

"Will you protect us all from anything?" He stared at me with innocent eyes. I nodded and pulled him into a hug.

"You know it." He sniffled into my shoulder as I picked him up and walked back into the house.

"Ella says she never wants to talk to you again. She wants you out of her life." Maya stepped into the light as I walked through the door.

"...It's her choice. I don't want to fight anymore. I promised Ari we wouldn't fight anymore. I'm gonna keep that promise. And if that's what Ella wants, and it makes her happy, then consider it done. I'll stop trying to talk to her. But if she ever needs me, I'll happily help her. And Maya?"

She looked up at me. "Yeah?"

"I'm sorry for whatever I did to make you angry and hate me. I just want you to know that I love you with all my heart even if you hate me."

Her eyes softened a bit before turning hard again, "I will never forgive you for killing my mom. Don't expect me to fall for your trap. You're lying. You would never come out and apologize like that. I don't like you, let alone love you. You maybe my twin, but you are not my sister." She spat and walked away to the room she and Ella were sharing.

"Thanks, Maxi." Ari murmured into my shoulder again. I kissed the top of his head.

"I promised you, buddy. I never break my promises, and I wont be breaking this one anytime soon, either." I carried him up to my room and tucked him into the bed. I changed out of my clothes and sllid under the covers next to him, pulling him into me.

"I love you, Maxi. Thank you." He whispered before kissing my cheek and snuggling in closer to sleep. I kissed the top of his head and whispered:

"I love you too, Ari, don't you ever forget it."
