Chapter 13: Fang's POV

Well.

Before I jump right into the present, why don't I catch you up?

It's been 6 months since Max and I got back together. And let me tell it's been the best 6 months ever. That girl has me under some spell. Sorry we have been updating guys, but we have been um busy….

Don't judge.

We had to catch up! And let me tell you, I'm never leaving this girl. Nope. Never again. She is way too perfect to lose again. Even if I did again….. Anyways!

Lissa wasn't giving up, that's for sure. And damn that's girl has got persistence. Or stupidity, I think the line gets blurry with her. But she has to learn how to take a hint. Over time she has made up lies of Max cheating on me, which I knew wasn't true because half the time I was with Max. And vice versa. She has tried to kiss me, and let me tell you, those did not end well.

Max packs one hell of a punch! That's why, my readers, Lissa has a broken nose and a black and blue body. It was pretty HOT seeing my girlfriend beat my ex- girlfriend, not even going to try to hide it.

Max was just perfect. She had a badass personality with a sweet, protective side of the ones she loves. Her warm brown eyes were always alive, swirling with emotion. Her long wavy brown hair with sun kissed streaks hung down to her waist. Her ability to kick my butt in football, and soccer was super-HOT. And her cheerleading body was just plain awesome. She could perform backflips, flips, back handsprings, cartwheels, turning cartwheels, handstands, and round offs effortlessly. I needed a cold shower after THAT. Her smile light up my world, her laughter was music to my ears and her lips were soft and sweet.

And that my friends leads up to now. Probably the worst situation ever. A grinning Lissa with me, in an abandoned classroom. When I meeting Max in 2 minutes, and if I didn't show up. She was going to come look for me…

Oh god. I knew where this was going. And Max…

"Hey Fangie" Lissa purred. Even though it sounded like a croaking frog. Oh god if Max walked in here…

"Lissa, I have to go" I said coldly, heading to the door. She gripped my shoulder, her fingernails digging into my shoulder.

1) OUCH

2) Crap.

"Fangie- poo, why don't you stay here with me? I'm way better than Max. And I know you're just playing hard to get." Lissa said in a flirty voice that sounded like a dying cat. Geez, lord help me.

Max should be looking for me by now, if I can just hold out for 5 more minutes, then maybe Max can bail me out. I would never hit a girl. Even if that girl is Lissa. Or Max, because I know she can take it and probably dish out more than equal pain. I still have that bruise from-

And my thoughts were interrupted by a pair of warm lips.

And these weren't Max's. Crap.

It took me a second to remember everything. I may have zoned out on Lissa during my mental rant.

Oh right. Lissa is kissing me, again, and Max might be coming any second. But I'm still a gentleman, I would never push a girl off. But Max was coming. I quickly grabbed Lissa's waist to try to push her away. But she took it the wrong way, and wrapped her arms around my neck harder. Man is this girl strong!

With a final tug, I ripped Lissa off of me. I stood there and glared at her, while her face tuened into one of furry.

"Why did you pull me off?" She asked, truly confused and angry. This just ticked me off more. I have a girlfriend!

"Lissa I have a girlfriend! And she isn't you! Get it through your head. We. Are. Through. I don't care about you, never did. So just leave me alone. I don't give a damn about you, except when you keep trying to end my relationship!" I yelled at her.

"Why the fuck is wrong with you?!" she shrieked at me. "I'm the hottest girl in this school and can have any guy I want. And that includes you Fang! So why are you immune to me?!"

"I'm in love and it's not with you" I said simply, walking out. "And I'm not interested Lissa, you can have any other guy but me. My girlfriend already has my heart." I walked out, leaving a pissed Lissa. I wonder where Max is. She should have found me by now….

I stopped dead in my tracks. It hit me. Hard and I almost fell down.

She saw me and Lissa kissing. But she didn't stop us. She's broken again and I got to find her and explain everything. I can't lose her again. Never again, I promised myself.

I started running. I knew where she would be. The same place where it happened the first time.

The Treehouse.

Ella is going to kill me.

Crap.

I quickened my already sprint.

Max's POV

Huh.

I wonder where Fang is. He said he would meet me here 5 minutes ago. Hmmm might as well go look for me. I started walking into school. I knew Fang had English last with me so might as well start there. I walked by several classrooms. Then I saw a flash of red hair in an abandoned classroom.

No….not again.

I quickly and quietly looked into the classroom. What I saw made me sick. Lissa's arms were around Fang's neck and his arms were on her waist. And they were kissing.

Déjà vu much?

I couldn't believe he did this again. But I can't believe I fell for it again. It was exactly like last time though. Only this time I allowed one tear to drop. The first tear since my mother had passed away.

He cheated on me again.

And I fell for it again.

Even when I promised myself I would never get hurt again. Never again.

I felt myself back away and I sprinted. This had to be the fastest I ever ran. I ran away again. Away from my problems. Away from them. And I went to the only place I knew I could.

The treehouse.

When I got there I just sat up in my spot, surrounded by multiple pillows. I didn't cry. I didn't yell. I didn't throw anything.

I just emptied myself. From emotions. From feelings. From memories. From pain. From trust.

I was empty. My heart was shattered and under lock and key. The only key belong to me. I had trusted again. How could he do this to me?! Why did he want to hurt – no. stop right there. I told myself

I will not dwell on this. It was his decision. If he thinks I don't need him, then fine show him. Time to blend in again. No.

I will not. I will walk in there with my head held high and confidence in my walk. No pain or sadness. I will refuse to show weakness.

I am Maximum Ride. I don't need anybody.

I quickly texted my friends. Iggy was ticked at Fang but he wanted to talk to him. Ella was ready to murder him. And Nudge was murderous. Even Angel was pretty mad. I had to tell Gazzy in order for him to calm a raging Nudge. I swear those 2 would be perfect for each other. But I don't think Nudge wants to risk their friendship. Like me and Fan- stop.

No. I will not dwell on that.

I was just about to text them back when I heard the door open to the treehouse. I wondered who it was. Wait. I didn't hear them coming up.

Fang. And I turned my head after walking to the edge of my shelf to come face to face to the one person I never wanted to see again. Just my luck, huh?

Fang was right here and by the look in eyes he knew that I knew. But he looked determined. Oh. He was determined to keep me. Ok let the games begin.

One thing first: I never lose unless I want to

And I refuse to lose this battle.

Ohhhh cliffy! Hope you enjoyed!
