Thanks for the reviews. They are awesome3:D I'm updating today!
The first thing I sense when I wake up is that I am in a hospital; the smell, the quietness, the everything. So naturally, my first thought was 'Get me the hell out of here!'
I thought back about last night and what had happened. Someone must have found me (Lucky old me) and gave me a ride here...but who?
"Your awake," a relieved Fang walked through the door to the room I was staying in. His dark eyes looked surprisingly...warm. "I was worried."
But I hadn't forgotten anything about last night. I still remembered Fang ditching me for Lissa, breaking my heart into pieces. Then again, he did save my life.
"That gash in your leg was huge. You almost bled to death. I was so angry, I called Dylan. He didn't answer." Fang's knuckles were white, rolled up tight.
"Well, I'm fine now." I say, gesturing to my leg. It was carefully tended to my doctors, and looked like there was nothing but a small injury there. "Did you stay over night? What about my dad-and Angel?"
"Nudge took Angel to the waiting room to see you. I talked to your dad and he said to make sure you were alright, and um...Ya, I stayed here through the night."
I want to ask him why, why he 'cared' at all. I'd tried to make this straight forward. "Fang, your with Lissa. You should be with her, not me."
"Actually," Fang said, grinning at me, "I broke up with her last night."
Now it might've looked pathetic, but I couldn't help it when my lips turned up into a small smile. "You did?'
"I did," Fang stepped closer. "Now I better go tell Angel your awake and alright. She was worried sick."
"Ok."
Angel walked into the room, blond curls bouncing, her bright eyes lit up in excitement. "Max!" she yelled, running into my arms happily. "I was so so scared for you!" her lips came up to my ear as she whispered softly, "I think daddy was to."
'Daddy was not worried. Daddy is mad and is gong to kill me all over again.' I think mentally, but instead tell Angel, "I'm glad your here."
Giving her one last hug, I turn to Fang. He's looking at us intently, at the bruises on my arms. When Angel goes out the door to find Nudge, who was apparently in the bathroom, Fang speaks up again. "I told the doctors you must have gotten bruised up bad due to Dylan's driving, since that's what I figured. But I know there's another reason."
I fidgeted with the hospital sheets. I owe him an explanation, but I can't bring myself to tell him right now. "I'll talk to you later about this. Now when can I get out of here?"
TIME SKIP
On the drive home I thank Fang for everything, and even feel a little more hopeful for our friendship. I'm still angry about how he kissed me while with Lissa, and I know I'll have to talk with him later on that. Nudge Is as perky as ever, and made me call Iggy to first tell him that I was alright, and then rub last night in his face.
Yes, poor Iggy.
And then were back at my house. Angel and I step out of the car and wave goodbye to our friends, and then turn toward the house. Nothing has changed.
"Ok," I say carefully to Angel, leading her up the porch steps. "You need to go right upstairs. I don't know how mad dad will be, nor house much he has drank. Did Nudge feed you tonight already?"
"Yes." Angel nods her head happily, "We went to Dairy Queen. I got a milk shake, chicken nuggets, and a toy!"
"Good." I say, giving my little sister a smile. Inside I'm reminded that I owe Nudge some money for taking care of little Angel. I'd pay her tomorrow, for sure.
I open the door and watch as Angel runs up the stairs and into her bedroom, probably setting up barbies and playing with them. It was time for me to face my father.
"Your OK." my dad steps out of the shadows. His eyes are surprisingly sober. The house is picked up, and there is old frozen left overs sitting on the table. It takes a moment for me to process it all. Then my father is closer, and I take a step forward, ready for any punishment he see's fit.
And that's when he hugs me.
There you go! Not the most exciting chapter, but this will be the start of some interesting new things that are going to happen. I hope you guys liked it! I want to see what you think, so please review and tell me! Thanks:)
