(A/N I got some nice ideas. Thank you peoples soooooooo much!)
Iggys PoV
I waited on the street corner. I admit it, I was nervous. I hadn't expected him to wreak the havoc he had on the house. Sure, he said he was looking for Max, to quote, "Make her pay," and I had gladly told him. But the other kids were freaking out, Fang had told them what had happened to Max, and Dr. M was pissed at the damage he had done.
I had left a couple of minutes ago. He had called me and told me to meet him here.
"Ah, you came." Came the cold voice. "Of course," I replied, turning to meet the burly figure. He stepped out of the shadows. "I do apologize for the mess in the living room." He said, sounding not in the least apologetic. I laughed ruefully. "Yeah, Dr. M is pretty pissed." He smiled. "That's what I would think." He said.
"So," I shifted nervously. This guy was seriously creepy. "What is it you wanted?" "I need you to tell me something." "What?" I demanded, getting impatient, "What is so damn important?" He gave an unsettling smile. "I need you to tell me if Max has anyone that could possibly care enough about her to rat on me." He said.
"Oh, yeah." I said. "We have another foster kid. Fang. Hes her age and they're, er, involved." "Involved how?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "Involved as in practically eating each other whenever the opportunity arises." I said in disgust.
He grinned coldly.
Fangs PoV
I woke just as the sun was setting. I watched Max through the darkness. She was so beautiful. I brushed Maxs hair out of her face. Without opening her eyes, she snuggled closer (If that was possible) and murmured, "Sing?" I smiled to myself as I let the beat rush through my mind.
I dreamed I was missing, you were so scared
But no one would listen, cause no one else cared
After my dreaming, I woke with this fear
What am I leaving when Im done here?
So if your asking me I want you to know
When my time comes forget the wrong that ive done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me, and when your feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest x2
Don't be afraid
Ive taken my beating
Ive shared what ive made
Im strong on the surface, not all the way through
Ive never been perfect, but neither have you
So if your asking me I want you to know
When my time comes forget the wrong that ive done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me and when your feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest x2
Forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending, someone else can come and save me from myself
I cant be who you are
When my time comes, forget the wrong that ive done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me and when your feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest x2
Forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I cant be who you are x2
Max frowned and finally opened her eyes, looking up at me with her chocolate orbs. 'What do you mean?" she asked. "How is it that you can always tell it isn't just a song?" I murmured as I stroked her dirty blonde tresses. She looked at me solemnly. "Fang…" I sighed. "Which part first?" "Let me explain some points first." She said. I nodded, still running my fingers through her hair. "A. You are not dying anytime soon. B. I will always remember you, no matter what. C. I could never resent you. D. You have plenty of reason to be missed. E. You've done nothing wrong." She said matter of factly. "Ok." I murmured. "Now, explain the rest of it."
"Ok," I said with another sigh. "Which part first?" She considered. "How about… the part where its 'Forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well.'" She didn't say it, she sang the lyrics. Perfectly, I might add. I looked straight into her eyes. "Max, I know you still hurt from everything that people have done to you." She winced a little and looked away. I caught her chin and turned her face back to mine.
" But I love you anyway." I said. Her eyes lit up, but she continued with the questions. "Now… 'I cant be who you are.'" I sighed again. "Your just… so strong." I murmured softly. "And im not." My mind guiltily wandered to the cuts that I haven't done for a while, forgetting that Max was also a cutter. "Not as strong as you think." She whispered. Before I could ask what she meant, she abruptly started with the questions again.
"'Im strong on the surface, not all the way through.'" I just looked at her. Finally I said, "Pretty much what it says." "Oh, Fang." She sighed sadly. "Next question." "Last one… 'Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself'" I averted my eyes from hers. "Fang…" Finally I relented.
"I… cut myself…" I said it slowly, not looking at her. "But, I haven't since we've been together." I still wasn't looking at her. Until she put two fingers under my chin and tilted it up, making me look at her. "I did the same thing." She said seriously. "And the same thing stopped me."
Then her lips were on mine, and I forgot everything else.
Maxs PoV
The kiss was originally a comforting one, meant to ease the pain swirling in his black irises. But it quickly heated up, and I rolled so that I was laying on top of him. As our tongues wrestled, I thought about what he'd said, "'But I love you anyway'". I quickly decided that it was the best thing Ive ever heard, including when the judge pronounced Jeb guilty.
I was yanked back to the present by the fact that my hands, of their own accord, had begun to pull Fangs shirt off. I immediately relaxed and let them. The shirt was tossed to the floor next to the bed. His hands slid to the hem of my shirt… and hesitated. "Come on." I whispered, continuing to kiss him.
"You sure?" he whispered back. I just shoved my tongue into his mouth with greater impatience. He took it as a yes and pulled my shirt over my head. He then flipped us so that he hovered over me. He kissed down my neck to my shoulder, down my stomach (gently, being careful of my bruised ribs), back up and across my jaw before finally settling on a spot on the other side of my neck.
My fists clenched as he bit at the skin there. I yanked on his hair, and he let out a muffled groan. He bit my neck harder, and I too moaned. He let his tongue lick my neck slightly, and I arched my back. He quickly slipped his hands under. There was no hesitation as he unclipped it and tossed it away from us.
His hands wandered across my now bare torso as he brought his lips back up to mine. I reached for the button on his jeans…
(A/N CLIFFY! What will happen? Will Max and Fang be interrupted, or will they go farther? And what does Jeb have planned for Fang and Max? REVIEW TO FIND OUT!)
