Chapter 16

A/N: Ok, here is a chapter to make up for all of the boring ones. Well, I like it, anyway. Ok, here it is.


The rest of the day was pretty boring. Iggy got his cast off, Ella went to school, I attempted to talk to Fang on the phone... Yeah. Really boring. Nothing really exciting until Ella came home with her new friend.

"Mom, this is the one I told you about, the one who just moved here." Ella said when she had walked through the door. I woke up from my short nap and pulled in my wings, not wanting her visitor to see them.

I walked into the kitchen with curiosity, then froze. Ella's visitor had stopped talking and was now staring at me.

'Uh, hi Sam." I said, now looking at my feet.

"Max," He said, sounding as nervous as I did.

"You know each other?" Ella asked, looking confused.

"Uh, kinda. Yeah." Sam said. There was a long silence. I realized that they were both carrying wet umbrellas.

"Is it raining out there?" I asked, trying to start a normal conversation.

"Yeah, it's raining pretty hard." Sam replied.

"Really hard." Ella added. Just then, the front door slammed open to reveal a soaked, injured Fang. He shook out his wings, getting the water out of them. Then he saw Sam.

"Crap," I heard him say under his breath. He quickly pulled in his wings. Sam just stared at Fang with his mouth wide open.

"What happened?" Iggy asked from the couch.

"Er, well..." I didn't know what to say. Fang stared at Sam for a long time, then he walked to the bathroom to get the first aid kit, dripping down the hall.

"Here, do you want some help?" Dr. Martinez offered after Fang came back. I knew he wouldn't let her touch him in a million years.

Fang bandaged his wounds and then sat on the couch. Sam was still staring at Fang. Fang looked at me, not knowing what to do about Sam. The truth was, I didn't either. Sam had seen Fang's wings, so what now? I had no idea what to do, so I just sat on the couch next to Fang. Iggy looked like he was going to explode, not knowing what was happening. Angel sat on the floor, staring at Fang. Probably reading his mind. When Fang looked at Angel, his eyes widened a bit. She titled her head to the side questioningly. Fang swallowed, then looked at me, then Sam, then back at Angel. The Gasman was now telling Iggy what had happened and what was happening.

"Dinner!" Dr. Martinez yelled from the kitchen. Fang crossed his arms over his chest. I knew he was starving, so I pulled him into the kitchen, making him sit down at the table. He scowled at me.

"So F-" I glanced at Sam. "Nick. How was your, um, trip?" Iggy snickered across the table.

"Fnick," He muttered.

"Fine," Fang said.

"Where were you?" Ella asked, curious. Fang looked at her for a long time, then just kept eating. When he was finished he walked to the living room. He came back and tossed a pink vibrating cell phone to Ella.

"Amanda," He muttered, and then he walked back to the living room.
