Maggie's Pov
Home at last I'm home I raced up stairs and set out all the equipment for Liz's and my make over, I got the curler, straightener, shampoo, hair spray, clips, ties everything that we could need. I ran out of my bathroom and grabbed my phone. I scrolled down and found Mom.
"Mom hey it's me" "Maggie are you okay?" "Yeah well I'm trying to help Liz with guys and well I was wondering if you could pick some stuff up for me after work?" "OH guy fun oh yeah sure hon what do you need" "Well….." I told her a list of everything we needed. "Ah ok I'll be home soon so I'll drop everything off, but then I have to go back to work ok love you" "love you too mom" "bye" we both said together.
Next was Fang. I knocked on Liz's door
"Hey it's me open up" "What I'm kinda busy" "Yeah whatever I need your window and keep it open ok thanks love you" I said scurrying out her window across the tree and knocked on the window.
"Fang it's me open up…. Fang hello is anybody ther-" I said falling through the window.
"Ouch" "What the hell are you doing here if you've come to apologize for your sister forget it mate" said Iggy
"No I haven't come to apologize where is Fang ?"
"Argh downstairs ironing his shirt" "Oh ok well are your parents' home" Iggy looked down at the ground then back up
"Argh I think you should talk to Fang. Head downstairs turn left into the lounge room then there are three doors the middle one is the laundry room okay" "Yeah thanks Iggy now get ready"
"BLAH!" he said, ok weird I followed down the stairs and turned left.
The lounge room was absolutely huge wow and that's when I saw Fang sitting in the Laundry room crying so I ran over to him
"Fang what's wrong?" he just turned and cried into my shoulder I pulled his towards me and hugged him until he looked up at me "I'm sorry Maggie you didn't need to see that" "Fang I don't care what I saw if you want me to forget I'll forget it but what was that?"
"Well I just found out that our dad just died yesterday in the war and I've only met him twice and then I was too younger to remember anything important about him." He said and leaned back into my shoulder I just held him there. I wanted to say something but well what can you say to someone who just lost a love one, "Fang I know what you're going through"
"What?" he said in a hoarse voice "This isn't like losing a pet Maggie it's someone I actually cared and loved ok you have no idea how this feels" he said storming off up the stairs.
"Fang please come back and I'll tell you about Lilly my little sister the one I lost" he didn't come back straight away I walked into his room to find him on his bed crying and with Iggy just sitting on his starring at the wall.
"Fang I know how to lose someone you love I lost my littlest sister that's why we came here so mom wouldn't have to deal with any of it" Fang looked up and Iggy was looking at me
"You have Rose and Liz there your little sisters" "No I had another it was a week before we moved here our mother gave birth to a little girl we named her Lilly she was the most beautiful thing I had ever saw. I was there when she was born I help mother through because our father left us after he found out about her. Mother held her and just talked to her she looked perfectly healthy, then she asked me if I wanted to hold her I held her and she starred up at me and smiled that's when her eyes rolled back and her heart stopped beating I felt it stop I called for the nurse the tried to revive her but she didn't Fang so yes I know how it feels to lose someone and only mom, liz and I know this so you mustn't tell anybody" I said jumping out the window onto the tree straight across to Liz's window I opened, climbed through, shut it and walked straight to my room locked all doors so that nobody could get in and cried.

Stupid Maggie. Stupid Iggy. Stupid…. Ok I ran out of stupid people.
"Maggie!" I yelled. I had heard her come back in and go to her room.
It felt nice to yell. Rose and Devin were at Nudge's and mum always said I wasn't allowed to yell in the house. I got no reply.
"Maggie!" I called again heading for her door. I opened it and saw Maggie lying on her bed faced down, crying.
"Oh, sweetie what happened?" I asked. "Fang…. Lil-l-ly" she sobbed. Dam him and his…. Evil something ways.
I got up and went back into my room then climbed through the window.
Fang and Iggy were sitting on their beds both looking at the floor.
"What did you do?" I asked/sighed at Fang. He looked up at me, and I was grateful that I had asked nicely because by the look of his face, it didn't look like he could take much yelling.
His face was tear stricken and I went and sat next to him. I had no idea of what I should say. I saw another tear fall out, so I put my arm around him and he put his head on my shoulder.
I felt Iggy's stare, but I ignored him. After a while Fang had cleaned himself up and was alright to talk. He told me about his father and how Maggie had told him about Lilly.
He went into the bathroom, then came out looking like a completely different guy. "When Maggie told me about Lilly it made me think, my father was a good man, but not the best father. So I've grieved him, and now I have some work to do."
He told me, handing me a note. "Please give this to Maggie" he told me and I nodded, then I left. That was weird. He completely changed. I guess it was a guy thing. Maggie had stopped crying and had cleaned herself up to. I handed her the note and she looked at it and smiled.
"Ok. Go take a shower." She ordered me. "Why?" "Because I can see the tear marks, which are probably half sweat" she said pointing at my shirt from where Fang had wet it with his tears.
"We still have a dinner tonight. So get ready. I'm helping with everything because I don't want you to screw it up" she told me. "Thanks" I said heading for the bathroom.
