Max sat on marks bed in her navy blue shorts with little white buttons and a white stitch shirt, 'It has been three months since the first attack and they have only become more frequent from both Victoria and Nathan. Mark wants to go after him but I don't think it's a good idea. Theatre studies class is going well I'm going to play Ivy. Not gonna lie I'm hella nervous as I haven't sung since I was 12. The showcase is to be at the end of the year just after graduation (they had year 11s in the class so they had made the dates to fit them).' Max closed her dairy and jumped up off the bed. Walking down the curved stairs she heard vigorous typing coming from Marks office. "Still emailing the principal?" Max asked leaning against the doorway. "Yes and because I'm doing it anonymously he isn't taking it seriously." Mark groaned "why can't I just kill them."

"Because then you have a body on your hands and that's a really bad thing to have"

"I know" he groaned rubbing his temples "Don't you have theatre studies rehearsal? the play is in 2 months and a half isn't it?"

"Yeah it is but I'm all done for the time being they are working with Peter and Jason today so… I'm free" Max said walking in and wrapping her arms around Marks broad shoulders.

"Would you like to go down to the dark room and take some photos? It could take your mind off things?" Mark asked a smirk playing on his lips. Max kissed his forehead "sure, no drugs!" she said before walking out the door "ugh you're no fun." he mumbled "we are taking my car" he shouted before grabbing his camera bag and waited for Max. Mark was in a more casual outfit a plain white button up and black slacks hugged to his tall frame. Max came down the stairs in her pink coat and her bag. They got into Mark's car and headed for the dark room.

The car ride was quiet Marks hand rested on Max's knee "So your Ivy right? I was offered to do backstage would you be okay with that?" Mark asked

"As long as you don't peak when I'm changing" max laughed gently

"Can't promise anything" Mark smirked, gently hit him

The car pulled to a halt and Max go out, "Hey I've gotta get stuff from the back do you mind going ahead and turning on the lights and heating?"

"sure, I'll see you insideee" Max turned and started to walk when Mark shouted

"Maxine how many times do I have to tell you gloves before you touch anything" Mark shouted from the car. Max turned on her heel and opened the passenger side door and took two gloves out of a box and put them on. She closed the door again and made her way over, she unlocked the door and went in unlocking in everything.

As soon as she stepped into the white stile room she felt arms wrap around her, she quickly kicked as hard as she could in reflex to the arm, as she knew it wasn't the man she cared for. the figure stumbled it stirred a scream out of Max "MARK!", the door was ajar so he'd be able to hear. She pushed the person and they fall to the white, cold, hard floor. She peered at their face and saw that it was 'Fucking Nathan' "Oh for fuck sake really!?" Max saw red 'I'm so done with this' the metal tray next to her and grabbed one of the needles and stuck him with it. "You have ruined my life enough" Max cried Nathan just laughed mumbling

"It wasn't me who ruined it…." He trailed off.

Mark burst through the door and saw max leaning over a struggling half out of it Nathan. She grabbed another needle and stabbed it into Nathan's half-conscious arm. Then grabbed another "Max no you'll kill him" Mark yelled running for her as she grabbed a forth needle.

"That's the plan" Those words stopped mark in his tracks, He was in shock. This isn't the timid girl that was in his class, she was bloodthirsty. As she jabbed him again her force seemed it would almost shatter the glass needle. She kept jabbing around the same area. Until Nathan went still. Max moved off of him looked at Mark with a blank primal gaze, then she fell and all that she saw was black.

The wind pushed against Max as she once again walked the mountain overlooking the town, her heart broke as everything she saw was grey and black nothing in colour not anymore. A single butterfly with blue wings flapped by and then was gone.

Slowly max opened her eyes and she was once again in Marks bed she heard him talking into the phone on the stairs, she sat up and felt she was in a plain tee and her panties. 'He must have changed me cause he knew those shorts were tight' Max thought to herself "I know so young, and ODing on such a drug. The students will be so shocked" there was a pause "yes yes okay". He clicked the phone off and walked back up, "Maxine you're awake! I thought you… never mind um I fixed the issue of Nathan, he OD. His father contacted me and asked if I knew anything leading up to it. I told him no, he thinks it was all Nathan and he's going to try and get the dealer arrested" Max just sat there and said nothing. Mark continued "You can never bring this up too anyone write it down or anything you know that right?... Max?"

Max sat in the same spot just staring till she tipped her head down and started laughing like she'd never laughed before, quickly the laughter turns to hot tears. Then, well then came the anger she stood and screamed "This is your fault! being around you has made…" she collected her words "Nathan attack me at any point he gets and now… Oh god, I... I" she couldn't finish her sentence she ran at Mark and started hitting him.

Till he grabbed her hands "Maxine just breath…" she quickly cut him off kissing his lips. He was shocked till he melted into the kiss and kissed her back, he matched her roughness. Quickly she grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him over to the bed, that she was resting on moments before. Max pushed him down and straddled him "Max what..?" before he could finish her lips were against his neck leaving a trail of hot kisses. Mark let out a soft growl tilting his head back. Max quickly discarded her tee shirt, Mark grabbed her waist and flipped them so she was under him, "You're messing with fire my little doe, are you sure you want this?" He asked looking at her with a needy look.

"Yes… I need to…" she paused and leaned into his ear "make me feel everything… please" Her eyes shone with so many emotions. He reconnected their lips, her legs moved to wrap around his waist as he continued to roughly kiss her. He unbuttoned his shirt and throw it off the bed, his lips moved down her neck. Mark sat her up and took off the cotton bra that was hiding her perky cream breasts. His mouth attached to her right nipple and gently he sucked and flicked his tongue over. Max's head tilted back and she let out a gasp of pleasure, Mark smirked against her before he kept kissing down her body. He got to her panties and tore them off using nothing but his teeth. Gently he licked up her slit, his caused Max to let out another gasp and moan followed "oh M..Mark" she mumbled into her hand as he continued to pleasure her.

Moving up from between her legs he shuffled around and throw off his pants and boxers. Leaning down he gently kissed her lips, Max's hand went up and grabbed a handful of his hair gently tugging at it. This caused Mark to growl and gently rub his hardness against her.

Max's mouth opened into a gasp, "Are you ready?" he murmured into her ear. He gently tugged on the lobe with his teeth. Quickly she nodded, Mark shifted his position and slowly so that he wouldn't hurt his young lover, slide into Max.

Max gasped and fought back tears Mark gazed over her face and drank all of her in, his eyes seemed to cloud over and get even darker as they were hazed with desire. Mark didn't want to hurt or scare her away so he did not move until she did. Max started to feel a little more than plan discomfort she tried moving her small hips which caused Mark to growl "Fuck Max…" She stopped and mumbled, "did I do something wrong?"

"No, but if you keep moving like that…" He paused and moved to whisper in her ear "I'm going to fuck you into this mattress" He pulled back and saw Max's shocked flushed face. She blinked and then smirked and moved her hips again. He closed his eyes for a brief moment.

"So what's stopping you" she retorted.

As she finished her last word he slowly pulled back and thrust back into her. He continued with a hard but slow pace Max moaning into his ear while grasping his chocolate hair. She rocked her hips into his as he speeds up Max gasped at his change in movement. Her thoughts raced around her mind nothing coherent or totally formed just little thoughts that didn't come together. Marks husky voice broke her trance after a while "Oh god Maxine" he mumbled like a silent prayer that was meant only for her. His hands moved to grips her hips as his pace quickened again. Bliss was quickly approaching the two "Mark… I.." Max couldn't say it

"Yeah, I know me too" He mumbled pulling back quickly kissing her lips before Max broke the kiss letting out a cry of bliss as she came. Max followed suit quickly after, Mark shifted and pulled a sleepy Max into his arms.
