***Fang P.O.V. (Starting from early Saturday morning)***
Tossing and turning, tossing and turning, that was the only thing I could do at the moment. Currently I was trying to sleep but my mind was apparently not getting the message. Rolling over I looked at my bedside table, on it was my phone which was charging and a small clock. The clock read 2:44a.m. I sighed. "Really?" I said out load, aggravated I ran a hand through my dark black hair.
Like I said I couldn't sleep because my brain was to busy working. What was it working on you may ask? The answer is simple actually... Max. Maximum Lavina Martinez was all I could think about, and truthfully all I wanted to think about. The question that kept popping in my head is why did I want to think about your ex-girlfriend/baby mama comes up. Although the answer to this question is completely simple, I am completely in love with her.
She is just so.. so unique. I have known her, her whole life. But now it feels as if we were complete strangers, who I just meet, every time we were together. I hated it, there was a time when we would tell each other anything and everything. Although now I can't remember the last time we just talked. It was always either small chat (for Ari's sake) or serious talk (about Ari), but nothing else.
Not being able to sleep, I realized that I was a bit hungry. "Might as will do something." I thought, throwing my covers off and heading silently out of my bedroom. I walked down the hallway not making a sound, even when I went down the stairs. As i turned to go into the kitchen I saw that a small light was on, "That's odd?" I mumbled. I peeked around the corner, not exactly sure what I was expecting to find in my kitchen. "Fang," my mom said in her sweet voice, "it's just me dear." I could hear the small smirk and her voice. Sighing I walked around the corner, slightly happy that she was awake.
My mom and I have a good relationship, I can always go to her whenever I need advice or someone to vent too. She would always be there to help me with open arms. "What's got you up Fang?" She asked looking at me concerned. "I could ask you the same." I replied with a small smile. She gave me an amused smirk with pointed look. I sighed but complied, "Fine... it's Max." Her face changed to worry than sympathy, "What's got you thinking about Max?" she asked. I just shrugged and went over to the pantry to grab some chips. Hey! I said I was hungry. "Come on Fang you can tell me." she urged. I ran my fingers through my hair thinking. "It's just I don't know she confuses me." I muttered out. "You two used were the best of friends and even once boyfriend girlfriend." She said. I knew she was right, hell I always knew she was right.
"Yeah but ever since Ari then breaking up a couple of months after he was born. Now we have to deal with the dueling custody... I feel like I don't even know her." I said, looking from my mom's face to the ground. "Well honey not everything will always be sun shine and rainbows. Also you were not the best boyfriend or dad when Ari was first-born. If I was Max I would have done the same thing to you." ,She said looking me in the eye and even though I wanted to deny everything she had said, I couldn't because it was all true. When Ari was first-born I was scared of being a failure, unsure, and so immature I basically abandoned Max with a newborn to handle all on her own. Now I regretted that decision, because now I realize that when I was so un-involved that really hurt Max were truthfully I thought I was getting out of her way.
Now I was trying to make up for that time with Ari and even with Max. "Honey it's late. Why don't you go to bed because you have "bonding day" with Ari and Max, and you need your sleep." She stated. "Ok night mom.", I said walking over to her and kissed her on the check. As I trudged back up the stairs in my head all I could picture was Max holding, playing, being, hugging, doing everything with Ari.
I walked into my bathroom which was right next to my room and splashed cold water on my face. "Baby Mama issues?" ,a voice asked from our of no were. Although I didn't jump, I was the one that scared people with my stealth, not the one who gets scared. I turned glaring daggers at my brother (twin to be exact), "Since when do you give two shits about my personal problems?" I shot back completely ignoring his question. He gave a half-hearted snort and tilted his head down at me, "Fangals I've always cared about your fine ass baby mama." My eyes narrowed and my back stiffened. "Watch your fucking mouth before I break it!", I told him. He smirked at me and leaned against the door frame,"Well I'm just sayin' bro, if Max ever needs a good lay I wouldn't hesitate to tap the ass!"
Once those words left his mouth my mind blanked and rage spread through me from his comments about Max. I had always known that Derek had a thing for Max. But then again, I think almost all the male population at school did. Max was gorgeous, even if she didn't believe it herself, guys wanted her and girls despised her. That was one of our relationships many issues was that I felt as if I always needed to be on guard, to keep other guys hands away from her. Although I think at one point she said she felt the same towards me, obviously it was the women she was trying to keep away. But I knew Derek was bad news and in the end he would just use Max, then hurt her, and I was going to do everything I can to not make that happen.
"Wouldn't I like to fuck that." I heard him mutter, trying to make it so low I wouldn't hear him but he failed. In the next second I spun around and grabbed a hand full of his shirt, lifting him slightly off the ground, and slammed him against the wall. "Keep your disgusting eyes, hands, and everything away from Max." I sneered at him, seeing red. "We'll see about that." He sneered at me, raising his lip slightly, showing me his teeth as if he were a mad dog. A low growl rose from the depths of my throat, and subconsciously tightened my grip on his shirt, forcing him harder against the bathroom wall. As I lifted my fist to punch him another voice stopped me, "Boys stop it now and go to bed!" My mom said, appearing in the bathrooms doorway. Only a small light in the hallway on casting dark shadows across her face making her look exhausted. I let go of my brother glaring at him the entire time, "Next time you won't be lucky." I all but spat at him. "What was Fangals going to be a big shot?" He snickered at me. As I was about to grab him again mom stepped if front of me, blocking my path to Derek. "That is enough! Derek stop egging him on, and Fang stop letting him get to you. Now it is late and unless you want to deal with your father I suggest you two go to bed now." She said firmly.
Turning away from Derek and my mom I walked into my bedroom and shut the door. Feeling as if I was going to rip the door off of its hinges, I flopped on my bed sighing. Rolling over I looked at the ceiling and took about 5 deep breaths, trying to calm myself down. Eventually my eyes closed and I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
***Around 11:00a.m. in the morning still Fang's P.O.V.***
A faint ringing noise filled into my head, a groaned moving my pillow over my head trying to drift back asleep. The noise continued though, "Shut upppp!?" I yell to the mysterious noise. "You're the one yelling idiot!" Derek yells from his bedroom. Where was the noise you ask? I don't have a damn clue, but I'm not really a morning person so could you blame me. Realizing I was not going to be getting anymore sleep I lazily got up. Shuffling to my door I opened it scratching my head, which had a serious case of bed-head and made my way to the stairs. After nearly killing myself while trying to go down the stairs (Note to Self: When yawning on stairs, especially in the morning, stop trying to go down stairs and yawn at same time. Because you close your eyes and your foot only hits the edge of the stair. Then you give yourself a mini heart attack trying to save yourself before you face plant.)
I walked to the living room were I saw my mom sitting on the coach. "Mornin' mom" I said giving her a slight smile. She gave me a small smile, then something changed on her face. She looked at me again but this time with that "Mother look", the one that instantly make you feel self-conscious or even guilty when you haven't done anything wrong. "Wha.?" I muttered out yawning yet again, still standing but now looking down at her. "Fang," she sighed, "it's 11:00a.m. on a Saturday." I stared at her for about a minute or two trying to process what she was getting at. Slowly my brain came to life and realization of what she meant dawned on me, "OH DAMMIT I'M IN FOR IT TODAY!?" I thought while I spun around yelling,"Shit!" As I ran as fast as I could up back to the stairs and sprinted up them, not caring if anyone else was still sleeping. Rushing into my room I saw my phone lighting up, on its charger. I grabbed it seeing that my alarm was the mysterious ringing noise and that Max sent me a text saying: "Hey, today is Saturday. What are we doing?" I quickly replied back with: "Hey... Uhhmmm how about we just dirt bike some? Haven't done that in a while." I gave a lame laugh wow that was terrible but I was already screwed so whatever. She replied a few minutes later with: "That's fine be here in like 30-45 minutes to load up my bike. Good? And I have Ari's helmet here." I quickly replied with: "Sounds good. Be there shortly". Sighing I walked to the shower thinking of ways I could fix today which I seemed to have already severely damaged.
After my shower I quickly got dressed in my usual attire of all black (I'm not goth just like the color black best, and I look good in it.). As I finished putting me shoes on I grabbed one of my winter jackets and rushed down the stairs. "I'll be back later. Love ya." I yelled to my mom, who was still in the living room watching television. "Love you too, be careful and tell Max I said hey.", she yelled back. "Ok" I said, walking out of the front door with my truck keys in hand. I hopped in my truck and backed it up to the garage to quickly load up the bikes and my helmet. After securing them in I got back into my truck and drove to Max's house which was only about 8 to 10 minutes away. Thanks to the small town we lived in, as I pulled up to her houses gate, I hit the "Call" button. "Hello, may I ask who this is?" I heard Marcie say, I smirked I had always liked Marcie. She practically has been Max's mom figure her whole life. "It's Fang." I replied. "Oh, hello Fang I'll buss you right in." She sweetly said. "Thanks Marc," I replied using the nickname Max gave her. As I pulled up the front door opened, Max and Ari both stepped out. Max had both her helmet and Ari's in her hand, and I could see her mouth forming words to Ari. Probably telling him he had to wait until the car (well truck in this case but you get the point) had come to a complete stop and he was sure I wasn't going to move the truck again. He pouted slightly but whipped it off right away, back to his anxious self. I backed the truck up the separated garage like I did at my house, so I could load Max's bike on to the back with Ari's and mine.
Killing the engine I hopped out and started walking towards them. Ari looked at Max silently asking her for permission, she gave him a small smile and nodded. "YAY.!", he screamed and began running towards me shouting, "Daddy..Daddy!" Once he reached me I quickly picked him up and tossed him a little into the air. He laughed and smiled at me lovingly, "I missed you, daddy." He said hugging my neck and burying his small head into my neck. "I missed you too, buddy.", I said back to him but in sort of whisper. Max slowly made her way to us, obviously a little uncomfortable about the situation but understanding. "Hey.", she said once she was about a couple of feet away. "Hey, umm I'm sorry about not replying right away. I couldn't really sleep last night and then ended up sleeping through my alarm." I said sheepish, giving a small smile (to try to ease the tension). "Ok." was her reply. I could tell she was still upset about it but was going to let it slide for now. "Well lets not waste anymore of our time for the day." I said, trying to get going. "Ok, I'll put Ari and the helmets in the truck. You can load my bike up, you know where it is." She said taking charge of the situation. That was one thing I loved about her was she had a very stubborn and as some people say bossy personality, but I thought it showed determination and strength in her character. After I locked in her bike I hopped back into the drives set, to find Max and Ari already buckled in. "Ready?" I asked. "Yep. Lets goo." Max said smirking slightly. I chuckled lightly not being able to shake off the butterflies in my stomach, and with that I put the truck in gear heading back down her drive way. Once we were out of the gate I started heading to the highway, the area we went to was my uncle's property. He had about 4 acres of land that we all had permission to use to motorbike on, when ever we wanted, he even put a track out there specifically for us. It was only about 15 minutes away, so as I pulled on to the highway I couldn't help but wonder how the rest of today was going to play out.
