I'm so sorry for the lack of updates! And I have no excuses for this! Well, except exams. But I am officially on holidays so I can update more for you dedicated readers!
Again, so sorry!
I hope this long as wait for updating doesn't stop you from reviewing, I lose faith in this story if I get no feedback on how to make changes or new ideas that you would like to throw Max and Fang into more adventures and dangers!
Ok, on with the story!

It had become winter which seemed to come so, so quickly. It's not my favourite time of year, but it can be really beautiful...sometimes.
I'm standing at my locker, fiddling through it trying to avoid going out into the cold, frigid air. The hallways were emptying; no doubt I could be locked in here if I don't move any faster. I hardly like staying here for six hours, there is no way I will be staying here over night.
I sighed and closed my locker door, slowly walking to the double door leading me into horrific cold and no doubly wet clothes and messy rain swept hair. I pulled my lame Eskimo looking jacket tightly around me, and scuttled out into the rain. I could feel my cheeks become painful and hot as the coldness bit my face in taunt. What seemed like perpetuity, I finally reached the front door of my car, and making me feel ever so grateful I actually took gym and had the stamina to run far enough. I fiddled through my pockets, searching for my car keys.

My heart started to pound when I realised my car keys weren't in my pocket. I'm quite ashamed to say I actually did start to cry...although; it was hard to tell since the rain was running down my face as well.
I leaned against the door and I looked up into the sky in anger. "Are you happy now?" I screamed to no one in particular, just taking my frustration out to the world.
"Does my misery make you happy?"
I was suddenly pushed forward, stumbling slightly away from the car. I whisked around and found Fang grinning happily in the front seat.
"Very much so." he snickered.
I pursed my lips in ager. "Out of the driver's seat now. I'm driving."
He sighed. "Well, seeing as you are so irritated at the moment, I think its best that I drive so, you know, we actually live?"
He saw the heat in my face and shut the door hastily. I took a deep breath to calm myself down before walking to the other side of the car and clambered into the passenger's seat.
Shutting the door behind me, I reached over and turned the heater on while holding my hair in front of it, hoping it will dry before I get home.
"You know what I've been thinking, Max?"
I looked over at Fang through the curtain of my hair. "Absolutely nothing."
He looked over at me with a solid glare. "Oh you are so funny!" He sighed before continuing.
"Do you find it strange that nothing has happened?"
I pulled my eyebrows down in confusion. "How do you mean?"
"Well, nothing life threatening and baffling dilemmas have happened in a while."
I looked over at him in confusion."Well, I don't know about you but I find that as a total blessing."
He rolled his eyes. "Of course it's brilliant, but, I just find it weird you know? I have a feeling something bad may happen soon."
Now I rolled my eyes. "Need I remind you that you also thought a brothel was some kind of soup."

He pursed his lips. "We made a promise we would never speak of that again."
I laughed. "Come on, it was pretty funny."
"Yes, I realised that when you laughed hysterically throughout the week."
I grinned up at him and let out a small chuckle.
"Please don't start again!" He begged quietly. My shoulders slumped forward. God damn, now I feel bad, I hate it when he does that.
"Well then, if you really feel like something is going to happen, what do you propose we do?"
I watched as he thought for a moment, scrunching up his face in contemplation. "I'm not really sure, I guess the only thing we can do is watch our backs. He shrugged.
I bit my lip and slipped deeper into my chair, trying to slip away from this discussion of potential danger. "Please, can we just end this conversation? I don't want to talk about this. At all."
"But Max, we need to talk about this just in case something may happ-"
"Nothing is going to happen," I cut in, overshadowing his voice," end of story."
He shook his head. "Whatever Max." He pierced his eyes on the road, avoiding me just as much as I was avoiding him. No one spoke as we drove down the road, the rain hitting the car like thunder.

It was a long drive home.

As soon as we reached the drive way I swung my bag over my shoulder and fumbled out of the car, quickly trying to avoid the rain I rushed to the door and swung it open, slamming it behind me.
I walked over to the kitchen and dropped my bag on the kitchen chair. "Hi mum, I'm home."
She walked into the kitchen with a bundle of sheets in her arms. "How was school?"
I started to walk up the stairs leading to my room. "Tiring, I'm going to take a nap."
She smiled and nodded her head before walking towards the linen closet.
I slowly sauntered up the stairs before opening the door to my room. I swung the door open and collapsed onto my bed. Sighing happily as my eyes began to close.

My eyes fluttered open when there was a soft tap at my closed window. I rolled off of the bed and walked over to the window. Standing there was Fang being hit with the rain. He silently made the words of 'please let me in'. I looked down at him before pulling the curtain over the window. I walked away from the window and sat down on my computer seat, facing the window in humour.

"Max! Please let me in!" he whimpered.
"No! This is revenge from today."
"Damn, this is a fantastic time to be human again." He mumbled. I smiled.
I sighed and hopped off the chair walking over to the chair. I polled the curtain back and opened the window with ease. Fang stumbled his way into the room, dripping water all over my carpet. Dammit.
I sighed and grabbed a towel, handing it to fang while creating a distance between us.
"Thank you." He took the towel and grinned. He shook his hair in front of my face, his hair spraying water all over me.
"Fang!" I squealed defending myself with my hands. He laughed at me in amusement which annoyingly made me crack a smile.
"You're so mean." I lowered my hands and tried very hard to glare at him which made him laugh even more. I huffed and turned away but was pulled back by his strong and sturdy arm.
"Oh I'm sorry Max," he pulled me in closer "But you know what they say, when boys are mean to girls, it means they like you." He winked to which I raised my eyebrows.
"How old are you? That saying is for children."
"It has exceptions." He pulled me closer and tilted his head towards my lips. I did the same. Our lips were almost touching when there was a loud bang and the shattering of my window. We both jumped apart from one another and our eyes flickered to the window.
Hmm, I guess Fang was right.
