I was wondering what you guys thought. Should I keep my story sweet and sappy OR add some rough edges. I'm leaning towards the rough edges. (Insert evil face here).
Don't get me wrong I love some good fax but…I need suspense. No kidnapping though for some reason I just hate kidnappings.
Disclaimer: nope.
Wednesday, October 29, 2013. Two days before the Halloween Dance.
Why? Why me?! I love my sister. Very much actually, but when her and her best friend drag me from my boyfriend and force me to go dress shopping with them? And he watched, amused? I cross the line!
I mean it's better than me and JJ having to listen to Tom and Fang doing that 'hump day' shit. I mean, who knew they were those type of guys? They're supposed to be calm and quiet! Both of them!
"Max! What about this one?!" Nudge came bouncing out of the dressing room wearing an angel costume it reached her knees and it kinda looked like a Greek toga thing. The wings were small her halo perfectly sticking up. She had white elbow gloves and strappy gold sandals.
"Sure." I nodded and she squealed. I rolled my eyes.
"Did Ella come out yet?" She asked.
"No. What's she trying on anyways?" I asked.
"We're matching, she's gonna do Dark Angel." I nodded.
Just then, Ella stepped out the bathroom with an unsure face. Ella's not really a dressy person, just like me! Except her clothes aren't really dark, like mine.
Her halo was black and titled to the side. She had fingerless black gloves and her dress was also knee-length. The top was like a corset and the skirt looked ripped and tattered up. The wings were also small and black but looked ripped in some places. She had black converse.
"Ella! You took totally fantabulous!" Ella's smiled at Nudge and turned to me.
"Max?"
I nodded. "I've taught you well."
She laughed. "Yeah. When you disappeared and I got big enough, I started wearing your clothes." She smiled and wiped her eye a little bit.
"Hey! No crying! This is happy stuff! Let's go buy the costumes!" Nudge yelled.
I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone in midnight
Been trying hard not to get int—
"You're interrupting nap-time!"
"Hey." Fang. As usual.
"No! Don't come calling me up! I'm mad at you!"
I knew he was smirking! Jerk. "Why would you be mad, Maxie dear?"
I rolled my eyes. "You let Ella and Nudge take me away! They didn't even feed me! I need to be fed. Especially when I'm forced to go costume shopping for a dance I'm not even going too! Ugh! You're so annoying."
"I think that's what you like about me."
"You wish." I joked
"Hey Max. Look out your window."
What? "Fang. I don't have windows. I live in the basement!"
More smirking! I can feel it. "No I mean those really high windows where all you can see is like grass.
I looked around until I saw these "windows" and I walked up to them. I got on my tippy-toes and looked up. "What am I looking at, Fang?" I asked confused.
"The other one." I slowly moved against the wall, off my toes to the other "window." When I got on my toes again I see Fang. Laying on his stomach in the grass on the side of my house!
I stared and the window and when I figured out how to open it I yanked it open and slapped him upside the head. "What is wrong with you?!"
He just laughed quietly. "Can I come in?"
I rolled my eyes. "If I say no, will you come in anyways?" He looked deep in thought and then retorted,
"Probably." And before I could answer he slipped in through the small windows.
"You know it's like 6:00 already, do you plan on going home?"
"We'll see."
Ladies and gentlemen, Fang: never giving a straight forward answer!
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever. What do you wanna do?"
He shrugged and stepped closer to me. He kept stepping closer until we were face to face.
"I have an idea." He whispered. My eyes widened. As I was not protesting Fang watched me carefully as he leaned in and when were millimeters apart, just millimeters, I broke the space.
Fang's arms encircled around my waist, mine around his neck. I stood on my toes so I could reach him better. My hands glided through his thick black hair and his stayed flat on my back. We've shared short kisses and pecks but this was something different. Fang's mouth opened and I panicked. I didn't know what I was doing, or what he was doing for that matter. I calmed down a bit because he just bit my lip. No biggie, if he wanted to French I would've been a goner. Should I bite his lip now? Nah, I'll save that for later.
"Miss Max, your mother asks th—Oh dear!" Argh! We always get interrupted. I released Fang and turned my attention to Mary.
"Yes, Mary?" I sighed.
"Your mother asks that you come upstairs, she has to tell you all something." I nodded and released myself from Fang's grasp.
As I passed Mary on my way up he stairs she whispered, "Your secret is safe with me, my dear." I smiled at her.
As I stepped into the hall that led from my stairs to the living room I looked at the pictures passing by, pictures that didn't include me. I sighed and continued on.
"Max." My mom stood up as I entered the room.
"We have news." My father stated also standing up.
I rolled my eyes. "I've been told."
My mom opened her mouth to speak but my dad cut her off. "We don't need a speech, Valencia. I am going away on business for three weeks and while I am away your mother will also be away doing her art business. Iggy is in charge of cooking. That is all, and no parties of course."
The last sentence caught my attention. "I'm having friends over on Friday. I already asked you." I directed my comment to mom.
"Oh yes that is completely fine, just no parties. And if you do have one Mary will notify us, I am sure." My dad addressed me. I nodded and turned back to the hall. "Kay." I said as I walked away.
I'm so tired and I'm just done.
Sorry if there are errors I didn't edit yet. I'll work on it.
