OMG! I'm past a 100 reviews! I am so happy!
Here's the next chapter!
Fang POV
I stared at the hospital doors as they slammed shut.
"Max…" It came out as a barely audible whisper. She had to live. She had too.
This whole day had been confusing. How could her arm have gotten such a bad cut. I looked over at Dylan who was in deep discussion with the police officer. Dylan had a mixture of emotions passing over his face as I watched him. He had sadness, anger, and many others.
I sat down on one of those uncomfortable waiting room chairs. Max kept running through my head. I don't know what it is about her but she infatuates me. I am so confused as to why I'm so attracted to her.
I saw a nurse walking towards me.
"Hi are you a friend of Maximum Ride the girl who was just brought in?"
Her tone was sweet. "Yes I am."
"Ok can you and anybody else with you follow me to a personal waiting room?"
"Sure just give us a minute."
I caught Dylan's eye and nodded at the nurse. Dylan and I plus the police officer followed the nurse to a room near a recovery room.
All we could do was wait.
Max POV
Nothingness. That's all I saw. I couldn't hear anything either. Not even the sound of my heart.
I laid there in the black with images of my life playing through my head. The happy times before Jeb did those awful things to me. The images starting as soon as my earliest memory. Times like when I would go for ice cream with my mom and Jeb or when I learned to ride my bike. Then the bad memories came.
They started with the first time Jeb hit me. That led to the many beatings I had received as I grew up.
Then I felt an electrifying jolt. It passed through me like a wave. Then I felt another one. This jolt was stronger. Then I felt a third jolt. When this jolt came it snapped me out of the darkness and nothingness. I sucked in a breath. It hurt badly. I started breathing normally. The pain slowly fading away. I still couldn't hear much or see much. I could hear a faint beeping and what sounded like things moving around me. The only thing I could really feel was the pain in my arm. Then sleep overcame me and everything faded to a peaceful sense.
Except this time I could hear the thumping of my heart as I usually do.
Fang POV
I knew a lot of time had passed since Max went into surgery. All we knew was that she was in a steady condition but that her arm was still badly hurt. All I could think about was Max.
She was so confusing. She would be fine around me but as soon as I asked her anything personal she shut down and would usually physically hurt me. She intoxicated me though. I would tell myself not to feel anything for her…but she always came back into my mind. I couldn't help but like her.
It was odd though. It didn't feel like a crush that I've had on dozens of girls it felt different and stronger somehow.
I let the curiosity of this feeling fill my dreams as I fell asleep in the hospital chair.
Dylan POV
I looked over at Fang who was asleep in the chair. He had been asleep for almost an hour now and a doctor had come to talk to me.
When they had done the operation to stitch up Max's arm they had noticed bruising all up her arm. With more investigation while she was asleep they discovered bruises all over her body. A nurse was asking me if I knew anything about how she could've gotten so bruised.
"Um…well…Max's father is…um abusive. She didn't want to tell anyone because she thought she could handle it herself. She will be really mad if she knew I told you. I am also the only one who knows." This all came out in a jumble of words.
The doctor stood in front of me nodding as she took all this in.
"Well does Max have any other family she could go to?" The doctor asked.
I shook my head. "Her grandparents are all dead and her mom and dad don't have any siblings."
The doctor nodded once again. "Well we will have to call social service agent they will find a place for Max to stay since she has no close relatives or friends she can stay with."
"She can stay with me." It was Fang who spoke up.
The doctor looked Fang over.
Fang continued "My mom is a foster parent we have room for one more in our house. We live close to Max so she won't have much of a move to make."
The doctor nodded again. His nodding was really annoying me.
"Well when the person from social services comes you can tell her all of this. She will decide if Max can stay with you or not."
A nurse came up to us from behind the doctor. "Max is awake and she's asking for Dylan."
I stepped forward to follow the nurse. She led me past many rooms then opened one of the doors. Inside was Max.
She looked horrible. She was horribly pale. I couldn't even recognize her.
" Hey Max. How you feeling?"
"Horrible" her voice cracked.
I sat on the edge of her bed.
"Max I'm sorry but I had to tell them about Jeb. They found the bruising on your body when you were in surgery. I couldn't lie knowing how badly he hurt you."
"It's fine Dylan maybe everything will be better now…"
Kinda short and not my best I'm sorry but at least shes alive so you can all stop hunting for me!
Next chapter will be better!
