6 minutes in heaven 11

I pulled away from the kiss and smiled at Fang. He actually looked . . . happy.

Trying to resist the urge to blush – and failing – I sat back down next to Sam, still grinning like an idiot. She nudged me and giggled when I didn't make eye contact with her.

After a couple more rounds of spin the bottle, everyone agreed on playing truth or dare. Still, this wasn't exactly a game that I was fond of. If I picked truth, that meant letting someone know something about me. It would mean letting someone inside the barrier that I shield myself with.

So, when Dylan asked me "Truth or Dare?" I already knew my answer.

Dylan gave me a thoughtful look as he decided his dare. "Uhm . . . I dare you to . . . run down the hall and bang on all the dorm room doors."

Damn.

I didn't want to do that . . . but, I guess it was my fault that I picked dare, right?

I got up from the ground and cocked my head to the side at everyone that was still sitting down, acting as if this was no big deal.

Spinning around on my heels, and opened the door and walked out into the hallway. I skipped down the hall and stopped at the end of the corner.

Everyone was peeking their heads out of the dorm room, Sam staring at me like I was crazy. I laughed.

Once, twice, three times, my fist hit the dorm room doors as I strutted down the building. I could hear a small amount of commotion erupting from inside each room. A couple guys came out, their faces furious – and then their lips turned up into a devious smile when they saw me. I shrugged at them. "Sorry, guys. It was just a dare that my friends had me do. No, biggie, right?"

I turned from them, and speed-walked back to Fangs dorm. I could feel their eyes starring holes into my back as I closed the door behind me and gasped, "Never ask me to do something like that again."

Everyone laughed, and then it was my turn. "Okay, Sam, Truth or Dare?"

Sam crossed her arms. "Uhm . . . truth."

I narrowed my eyes at her. "Is there a guy here in this room that you might like? More than a friend?"

A slight tint of a blush rushed to Sam's cheeks. "Yes," she said in a small voice.

I was slightly aware of Jamal smiling.

Sami turned away from me, and to Fang. She had an evil grin playing on her lips as she took one glance from me and then back to Fang. "Truth or Dare?"

Fang sighed. "I guess I'll take a chance. I've already done all Dare. So, Truth."

She had a look in her eyes like she knew exactly what she was going to say next. "Do you love Max?"

Both my eyes and Fang's widened to the size of dinner plates. Next thing Sam knew was the my hand was slamming into the side of her arm.

"Ow!" Sam gasped at me. "Jeez, Max."

I gave her an exasperated look.

Then, everyone turned to Fang – who had a nervous look on his face.

He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. He looks at me and gives a small crooked smile. "I–"

But he didn't have time to finish. There was a loud booming and then . . . I don't know what happened next.

I looked outside the window but the world was shattering. The sky was on fire and debris and rain were showering.

Heat. I remember heat rushing into the room and then the walls were blazing. Smoke filled the room and I couldn't even see my hand which was two inches in front of my face. My heart was racing.

Our base camp was being bombed, I realized slowly.

Everything seemed to be going in slow motion. Some of the smoke dispersed just as I saw a blank of wood breaking free from the ceiling above me. I watched as it fell on top of me – everything still seeming like it was all a dream.

I heard someone yell my name in horror – Sam? No, it was Fang, I think.

A sticky liquid streamed down my face and cheeks – it was red.

I tried pulling myself out from under the blank of wood but it was no use.

I vaguely remember Fang rushing towards me, panic written all over his face. His face was ablaze with the light from the flames around him and me. It flickered off his cheek bones, casting shadows on his angular jaw and cheek structure. I smiled in a daze at his effortless handsomeness.

"Max!" He cried one more time as he lunged for me. His voice broke.

I looked around myself. Evan was lying unconscious next to me on the floor, blood seeping through his white cotton shirt. I looked at him in confusion.

Then it hit me what was happening.

My heart started racing again and adrenaline pumped through my veins.

No. This couldn't be happening.

I glanced back over at Fang to see him trying to make his way over to me – but there was a wall of fire separating us two. I screamed his name, and then everything was going at a normal speed again. Everything was happening at once.

"Max!" I heard Fang yell again.

"Get out of the fire, you idiot!" I screamed at him. I noticed he was close to the door and I saw people rushing by it, trying to get out of the building.

He gave me a crazed look. "I'm not leaving you, Max!"

That was the last thing I heard before the other window shattered and everything went black.

Hmmmmm so what do you think? Please R&R and make sure you read the new 6 minutes in hell! I'm updating it right after this one!
