Prisoner- Chapter 62

I stepped out of the shower and wrapped myself in a towel after I had just taken a nice relaxing steamy shower. It always felt so nice feeling the warm water rinse away the dirt that hid the real color of my pale skin. I reached one hand out to the mirror on the wall and created a medium sized hole of steam free mirror for me to examine myself in.

As I laid my eyes on what or who was in the mirror, I screamed. When I came to my senses I clasped a hand over my mouth.

I was seeing eraser Max again. My face felt smooth and normal and I brought my hand down to examine it, normal also.

"Max." Fang tapped on the bathroom door.

"You okay?" He asked sounding worried. "I heard you scream."

I looked into the mirror again, still eraser Max.

"Fang…" My voice quivered.

He obviously noticed because he jiggled the door handle.

"Max, let me in."

I looked over at the doorknob jiggling furiously.

"Max, what's going on?"

I took a deep breath and slowly opened the door, afraid of what he'd see when he saw me. I avoided his eyes, studying the ground with great interest.

"Max…"

"Do I look normal?" I whispered.

"Wha…"

"Do I look normal?" I repeated looking up at him.

"Apart from looking freaked out… yeah." He said trying to meet my eyes with his, but I was avoiding the contact. I always felt so ashamed and distant when I saw myself as an eraser. It really freaked me out and right now I could really use some time to think.

I turned and looked in the mirror again to see a normal me, not a disgusting hairy me. I sighed with a bit of relief, but this was far from over.

"Max." Fang said laying his hand on my shoulder.

I turned to look at him, finally bringing myself to meet his eyes. He looked concerned and confused, I felt the same way.

"What happened?"

I looked away ashamed and answered, "I saw an eraser version of me in the mirror again."

He pulled me to him.

I decided to keep silent and just be held for a few sweet minutes. Once those few minutes were over Fang placed a kiss onto my wet hair then released me and walked out of the bathroom so I could get dressed.

When I walked out of the bathroom now clothed I felt like an idiot for looking so pathetic and weak in the bathroom in front of Fang. Fang was sitting on the bed we shared waiting for me and I immediately took a deep breath and immediately put on a brave face.

"Feeling better?" He asked raising a dark eyebrow.

"Yeah." I said with a nod.

"Not lying are you?"

"Never." I scoffed.

He smirked.

"I better go say goodnight to the others." I said motioning toward the door.

Fang stood and followed me out of our room. We walked into the hall and decided to go into Gazzy and Iggy's room first which was to the right.

"Hey." I said walking in and over to the bed.

Iggy was on the closer side and Gazzy was on the far. I walked to Ig's side and me and the three boys stacked fists.

"Goodnight guys." I said with a smile as I headed out of the room.

"Night." They replied in unison.

Next and last stop was Angel and Nudge's room just across the hall. I walked in to see them talking to each other and giggling.

"Bedtime." I said putting my fist out on Nudge's side of the bed, the closer side. The four of us stacked up and finished up routinely.

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight Max." Nudge said laying down. "Goodnight Fang."

I saw Angel lye down seconds later and say, "Goodnight."

I smiled up at Fang as I shut their door.

He and I walked back to our room and stacked fists just before lying down in our bed.

"Goodnight Fang." I said with my back to him.

"Night Max."

I began to drift off to sleep.
