Chapter 14

Max P.O.V

I am pleased to announce that the Cullens's house remained in tact while I was starring in my own little fashion parade. (I know,yay me). When I walked through the back door and into the lounge room, it seemed that everyone had been standing around waiting for Alice, Bella and me. Angel's face lit up and a smile spread across her face as she saw me, Nudge was her mirror image. Gazzy's face seemed to say about time. Esme came over and gave me a hug, reminding me so much of my mother-Dr. Martinez- it wasn't funny. Carlisle smiled impressively at Alice. Jasper and Edward looked confused. Emmett rolled his eyes. But of all the reactions this one shocked me the most. Fang stood dead in his tracks, mouth slightly agape, eyes wide.

Eventually Iggy got frustrated trying to work out what was going on, but before he could complain, Emmett broke the silence. "Nice job, sis." He said to Alice as he walked into the room. "WHAT'S GOING ON?!" Iggy cried desperately. Angel must have given him a mental image because soon he was as stunned as everyone else.

Nudge was the first to recover. "Max! can we please go shopping with the Cullens?! Please, please, please! We haven't gone shopping in ages!! And Angel promises not to use her mind control to make an old lady buy her a teddy bear again….that was so much fun!! We have got to go back to N.Y.C sometime soon so we can- Iggy stopped her there.

HaHa. Shopping. That'll be interesting considering we are flat broke. "Angel, we don't have"- All of a sudden I felt a strong urge to go shopping. Ugh. Little girls and mind control. "Angel! What have I said about controlling minds?!" I said sternly. Then I heard a quiet chuckle from behind me. No one had noticed that Fang had moved. Probably kind of expected considering he is invisible-sometimes. "Fine. Ask Fang." I said pointedly.

He looked at Angel, then Nudge and said "Let's go." I looked at Fang "Pushover." I said and rolled my eyes. He smiled slightly, still in shock. "I don't look that different, do i?" I asked. "No, not at all." Fang said sarcastically.

Not sure if I mentioned it, but the Flock hates confined spaces, after growing up in a cage and all. So you could guess we weren't exactly overjoyed about the car trip to the shops. Sadly, we all couldn't fit in one car, so Nudge, Gazzy and Iggy went in Emmett's Jeep with Alice and Emmett. Angel, Fang and I were in Edward's silver Volvo with Bella and Edward. Jasper didn't mine taking the Porsche on his own. Angel sat in the middle bouncing with excitement. I hadn't noticed until then but Alice or Bella must have braided her hair. It definitely put my version to shame. It looked so tight and precise. It went from one side of her head to the other. I should learn to do that, maybe in between my 8:30 Eraser attack and my 12 o'clock world- saving.

Jeez, this Edward guy drove really fast, I mean really fast. We weren't in that much of a hurry, were we? Then I saw Emmett's Jeep right next to us. So it wasn't just him?? I don't know. Must be a vampire thing.

*15 minutes later*

We walked through the automatic doors to hell on earth, unveiling a huge set of stairs and a fountain in front of a café which smelt like burnt cheese. Teenagers walked past with their friends, chatting like normal kids. Lucky them.

"Do you want us to take the little ones?" Bella asked. "Do you have a phone?" Alice asked. Then I remembered, yes, I do. Mom and Jeb gave me a phone to contact them if we needed to. I had totally forgotten about it until now. Fang grabbed it out of his pocket and Alice dialled in her number. How did he get it?? Probably when I was knocked out.

About five minutes after Angel, Nudge and Gazzy walked off with the Cullens I realized they didn't have any money. Even though money was normally the least of our worries,(because we are hardly left alone long enough to use it, not because we had a lot of it), but it still didn't feel right for the Cullens to be buying us stuff as well as letting us stay in their house.

In the mean time, Iggy, Fang and I were stuck in a mall for God knows how long, what were we supposed to do? We didn't have any money and we had no idea where anything was. Fanfreakingtastic.

"Can we sit down somewhere?" Iggy asked, looking really stressed. "Yeah, sorry Ig. We'll go to that café over there." I said , Iggy grabbed onto the back of my shirt discreetly, no one would even know that he can't see a thing. "Be there in a sec." Fang said and turned to walk into a shop. Okay…

Iggy and I went over to the café and sat down at the edge of the tables, incase we needed a quick escape. Oh yeah, even on a shopping trip I had been on alert the whole time. There's no rest for the wicked, so there's no rest for us either.

Iggy seemed to relax a bit, being out of the crowds. "What do you think Fang's doing?" he asked. "We don't have any money, so I don't know." I said. Iggy chuckled. "Window shopping?" he asked. I laughed. I missed that. Just being able to hang out with my family, no cares in the world, to be free. This was a little taste, but I knew it wasn't over yet. It would never be the same like it was with Jeb in our cosy house in the mountains. So much had changed since then.

To wake me up from my little walk down memory lane, a headache hit. Crap. If this turned out to be a brain attack we would be sunk. Fang was out in some random shop, with the phone and it's not like Iggy would ever be able to find him. But I shoved that thought aside. Everything was going to be okay.

Fang appeared out of nowhere(literally) in a new black(ofcourse) and gold Henleys shirt. I must admit, it looked great on him. "Where exactly did you get the money?" I asked. "The Cullens." He said as he sat down. A new pair of jeans, too? They looked expensive. Iggy reached out and touched Fang's shirt with amazing accuracy. "Black and gold?" He asked. "He got jeans,too. Expensive ones." I said pointedly. "What about me? You two lovebirds got new outfits and what do I get?" Iggy said. "Are not!" I said defensively. "Oh come on, I saw you two last night- well, technically I didn't see it, duh. But I have my ways of knowing what's happening. For example, Fang is clenching his jaw, all angry at me and Max, you're blushing and have your head in your hands. And besides, don't you love him thiiiiiiiis much???" Iggy asked as he held out his hands wide. "You found out about that?!" I asked angrily, then turned to Fang, only to see him smiling one of his rare brightens up my whole day smiles and I calmed down a bit.

Then a girl who was about 5 foot two with blond highlighted hair approached us. "Hi I'm Amy and I'm your server for today." She said in an odd accent. It sounded like Australian/Scottish or something. But the thing was, it was like she was only talking to Fang. She batted her eyelids of mascara and eyeliner and twirled her hair like a school girl. Wait, she probably was.

Fang's P.O.V

Our waitress –Amy apparently- came up to take our order. She seemed to be paying me some special attention. And clearly, she was the freaking queen of subtlety. Note sarcasm. She couldn't have been more obvious. Not to sound up myself or anything, but this had happened a couple times before. Not only that, but it is rude to ignore people *coughcough*Iggy and Max*coughcough*. Because nothing says I'm not interested as well as I'm taken, I made a split second decision, I put on my best death glare and put my arm around Max as casually as I could .

Max's P.O.V

At first I was in a state of shock, then Fang whispered "play along." In my ear in a way that would have looked very lovey-dovey indeed. So I played along as I was told and giggled, for some reason, relieved that he wasn't smiling back at Amy who was looking a bit disappointed and jealous at the moment. "I'll get an iced chocolate." I said. For the girl's sake, I didn't order according to my appetite for once.

"I'll get the same." Fang said. This seemed to sadden her further. Iggy got a coke. When Amy was gone, all three of us cracked up laughing. Freakishly somehow knowing what was going on, "Told you" Iggy said. I rolled my eyes. "I'm rolling my eyes, Iggy." I said, remembering he couldn't see. Pretty important thing to forget, I know, but he makes it easy sometimes, let me tell you.
