Max's POV

"I'm sorry, but visiting hours are over." Said the nurse.

After the fluffy, touching moment, we just starting talking. About...nothing, really. When he talks, Fang is a very easy person to talk to.

My face fell from the smile the graced apon it (that was rather poetic of me, now wasn't it?).

"I don't want to stay here by myself," I mutter to Fang. He gave me a knowing look, and glanced at the younge nurse.

"Do you have anyone to stay with you, hun?" The nurse said.

"Everyone else went home, didn't they?" I asked, shifting a yawn.

"Well, I suppose he can stay here. Watch over ya'." The nurse smiled. "If you need me, just press that big red botton next to you."

I nodded, and she left the room.

The room was silent, untill I broke the comfortable silence.

"Did she tell you when I was going to get out?"

"She told everyone that you could stay here for about a week or more." He replie

"Crap..." I moaned. I loathed hospitals. Just the smell, lab coats, plastic gloves...No, just no.

My eyes started to droop, but I would open them right up. I really wanted to turn on my side, where I'm most comfortable sleeping, but my body ached when I moved. I still felt light headed.

Fang must have noticed my uncomfort. He stood up, and bent over me. "Do you want to move?"

I nodded, my eyes starting to close again. Fang helped me onto my side, which was, despite the pain that had eventually ebbed awway, was much more comfortable. He pulled the blanket up to my chin. I wasn't so sure how I felt about Fang taking care of me like I was a child. Then I decided that I didn't mind it. If it was from anyone else, I would have hated it.

Fang walked over to the other side of the room, and dimmed the lights so it was darker. The dimmness was a relief. I swore, my eyes were burning because of the lights.

I knew that Fang must be even more uncomfortable then me. We both despise hospitals, and I knew that he was S.A.D. S.A.D stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder, which means the lack of sunlight affects his mood. He told me that he hated artifical light, and almost always has his window open. He gets really irritable in the winter and fall, and gets very anxious in the summer. He just hides it well. Anyway, he needs some natural light or darkness. And this room had zero windows. I didn't want his to spend the whole week here with me.

Before I knew it, my eyes closed on their own, and I was engulfed my darkness.

Stay still...

Don't scream...

Be quiet...

Don't stay put, and I'll hand you ov'r to Daddy...

My eyes flew open, and I almost sat up in shock. My dressing gown stuck to my clammy skin, and my heart was racing a million times an hour. That was, possibly, what woke Fang up. He was sleeping on that plasic chair, his head resting near my hand.

"Max?" He said, his voice sounding sleepy (thinking that over, it sounded hella adorable).

I didn't answer him. I could still see that man, his words echoed in my head. It was like there was nothing in that room besides me and the fast pacing of my heat beat.

I won't be able to get him out of my head. Not today, not tomorow, possibly never. Those events will stick with me forever, and I'll never forget them.

Tears started to run down my face. I felt Fang lean over, and wrap his arms around me. That brought me out of my little "Phycotic Episode" (as I call it), and I burried my face his his chest. As cliche as silly as it sounds, I felt safer, and I slowly started to drift off into sleep.

"No, Fang, you should go." I argued. "There's a big test in Math today, anyways. It's 30% of our grade..."

"I'll take it another day." He said.

"No, go or I'll kick your ass." I said, smirking a little.

He smirked, and kissed my forehead, reconizing defeat.

After he left, I closed my eyes again. It's much to early to wake up. I need a good 14 hours of sleep, and I haven't been getting any of those lately. I'm lucky if I could read 5 hours every night...okay, maybe 14 hours is a bit of a stretch...for normal people. for me, I value my sleep very much.

I was just about to doze off again, untill the nurse opened the door again.

"You have a visitor, hun. you want to see 'em?" She said.

I was tempted to tell her to bugger off, but I wouldn't mind talking to one of my friends. They could go on snack runs so I wouldn't have to get out of bed (not that I can, considering I'm strapped down again).

"Yeah, send them in." I said, opening my eyes yet again.

She nodded, and let a man through.

My blood turned icy, and I felt my skin pale. But I kept my face same as I looked at Robert, walking in like a conserned father figure.

The nurse closed the door, his face changed completely. From sadness to anger faster then you can blink.

He walked closer, and my muscules tensed. "This is rather unluckly." He said quietly.

"For me or for you?" I said, containing the fire that was burning in my chest.

"Hmm...everyone." He said. The words peirced my ears, but this time I was smart enough to know they were not true.

"Why are you here?" I said harshly, studdenly unafraid.

His face turned red, and his hand twitched.

"You won't hurt me. Not in a hospital room with thin walls. Where I can scream, and someone will come in a blink of an eye." I teased. He looked even angerier, and I knew that there was going to be some "fun" when I get home. But I don't care. There isn't much I care for, anymore.

"I want you to know that I'm going on tour of a couple of weeks. I'm going to be gone. But he will still be coming over, so stayed home." He said with malice.

"...Is that all, because I would like to go to sleep."

He snarled, which soon turned into a evil smirk. "I passed you're pretty lil' boyfriend in the hall."

This time, my eyes widened, and fear took ovr my feelings. "What do you mean?" I asked stupidly.

"Don't think I don't know who he is, or where he lives. I see you two outside. Cute." He spat at "cute". "He better not know anything."

"I didn't tell anyone anything. Never will." I muttered. I prayed that Fang kept a straight face, or maybe didn't reconize Robert...wait, I don't think he would. He never saw him, did he? That calmed me down somewhat.

"Good." He said, then turned on his heel, out the door.

I studdenly want to stay here for an extra week.

Riv's POV

"What's God, if not, the Spark that Started Life..."

"Sorry, Jordan, that was a ittle fat. Try again." Mrs. Perez, the chior teacher, told Riv as she stood in the midde of the stage.

Riv nodded, and took in a deep breath. She started over again, from the top.

'We live

In Every

Moment but this one

Why don't

We reconize

The faces loving us so

What's God, if not, the Spark that started life-

Smile of a

Stranger

Sweet Music, Starry Skies-"

The everyone else, besides Iggy, as he has quit the chior class for the lack of single girls, begun to sing, too, with Riv. Riv moved her mouth to the words, but her heart wasn't in it. Her mind was cluttered with all kinds of things. Whenever something "big" happens, everything goes through her mind, and she can hardy focus.

The doors to the theatre opened, and Riv's brother waked through, looking like he really wanted to get out of the building.

"Riv, Dad's picking us up early." He called from across the hall when the students stopped singing.

"Okay," She sighed, relieved that she got to be let out early.

After getting her things and getting into her father's car, she asked "Why are we getting picked up early?"

"We have to go to New York." Her dad said simply as he pulled out of the parking lot.

"What for?" she said, suprised.

"Auction." He said, pulling to the side of the road to text on his iPhone.

Sensing he had other things on his mind, Riv didn't ask anymore questions. She longed to talk to Max...she couldn't handle not knowing.

Thanks, guys ^^ please reveiw!~!~!
