Ok...you guys are REALLY mad at me aren't you??? I swear, I am explaining everything in this chapter. Which is why it's a little shorter than any of them have been in a while. Hope you like!! (P.S. this is all leading up to a MAJOR plot, so I'm doing all this for a good reason).
Disclaimer: Did you guys get my last one? It was in reverse, just a hint! I don't own Max.
Chapter 38: Gotta Get Away From Here
Fang POV
I punched the doorframe nearby. Why did she have to be so ignorant? And stubborn? And stupid?
Unfortunately, all I got was bleeding knuckles. I concentrated and they healed up right away. But my anger didn't leave. Max had no way of knowing what had happened. That witch had cornered me! Next thing I knew, she was kissing me! I was about to push her off when Max came out.
But no! Max couldn't believe me! Only Max could be right. Only Max knew what had happened. I was not kissing Lissa back. Max's eyes were playing tricks on her.
Now I was pretty much stuck going to that stupid movie tomorrow. If I don't Max will think I gave up. And there's no way I was letting that happen.
Lissa POV
Ah-ha! Daddy will be so proud of me! I skipped down the road in glee. That was too easy! Max is so sensitive, I hardly had to try at all! Plus I got that thingy on the back of Fang's neck.
I am SO good. Or so bad, depending on how you look a it. Too bad I still have to go to that stupid movie tomorrow night. I think Daddy said I had to check to make sure that chip-thing is working. If it's not, then Experiment2012-12 won't be able to move in! At least I got Fang out of the way. And I get a shopping spree as a reward! I love my life.
Max POV
I don't know how long or how far I flew. I might have even made it to New York, seriously. I know at one point, the thought of the flock (not Fang) hit me and I turned around. I was probably gone for about three hours.
I got home and flew in my own window (the porch would have been, um, annoying). I decided that if Fang was going to betray me like that, I didn't need to talk to him. For now, anyway. I might have no choice later on. The only thing I knew was that we were only staying here one more day. Then we were blowing this popsicle stand and never, ever, coming back.
I plopped down on my bed and before I knew it, I was almost asleep. The only thing that stopped me from going out completely was the bright red color that appeared behind my eyelids every time I shut them.
Fang tossed and turned in his bed, cringing every time he moved. His hands clawed at the back of his neck, but he couldn't stop the pain.
After a while, it completely stopped. But something had happened, even if Fang wasn't aware of it.
