I woke up in an unfamiliar room. I did a 360, and, seeing no one, I crept to the door, then down the hallway. I still had no clue where I was.

Just then, I heard footsteps. I opened the nearest door and rushed in. After a few seconds, the light turned on. I could hear someone breathing right behind me.

"Max?" I had been asleep when my door was opened and someone creeped inside. It took most of my self control not to attack the unknown intruder. She whirled around. "Fang?" Understanding flashed in her eyes. "Oh! I woke up and didn't know where I was. Then I heard footstepsl"

I couldn't help myself. I took a few steps over to her and lifted her chin up so I could kiss her. She shocked me by kissing me back…

Happiness is an understatement.

I broke the kiss, remembering something. "Sorry. I know you're in love with someone." Crap! How could I have been so stupid? Now things would be awkward between us.

"I guess I'll have to tell him I kissed you," she said, no emotion showing on her face.

"Sorry again."

A flicker of a smile crossed her face. "Fang, I just kissed you."

"I know." She laughed at my cluelessness.

"I just told him, so we're good." I still didn't get it. Could she talk with her mind now? How could he know?
Then she did the unexpected. She leaned in and kissed me lightly on the mouth. "I love you," she said as she pulled away.

Wha? Ii smiled, the first real smile I've smiled since she was taken. "I love you too," I told her, happy to say it at last.

If I would have died then, I would have died happy. He loved me back.

He put his hands on my waist and leaned in- to kiss me? Then my brain exploded.

FPOV

Right as I leaned in to kiss her (I know, third time in two minutes? Oh well. I was greedy.) she fell to the ground. My first thought was, Am I really that bad of a kisser? Then she screamed in pain.

Gasp! I am so mean!
