HIII! I'M BACK AGAIN! Sorry for the wait, but i think this is a good make-up chapter! *grin*
Zach: No such thing.
Abby: Can it, meat head. I'll leave it at that! *wink*

"I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top. She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock. It's a matter of time be-"

Half asleep, I heard the sound of a hand slapping an alarm clock. As I presumed to fall back to sleep, I happily squeezed my pillow, ignoring the taunting thought of Paramore telling me to get out of my bed for school.

"Time... for... SCHOOL!" A hundred and thirty pounds of best friend went flying on top of my bed-oh, and me.

"Faaaang! Fa-Fang! Get off of me, you fat lump!" Fang blew up his cheeks in an obese manner, rolled off of me, and curled up next to me, pulling my body close to his. He snuggled his head into my shoulder and started humming to himself.

"We still have to get out of bed, you know." I giggled at him and turned over.

"What are you talking about? You are out of bed!" Fang had barely enough time to look confused when I pushed him off of my comfy mattress and onto the hard, cold floor.

"Thanks, Max. But you forgot one thing." Fang's hand shot up and grabbed at an empty bed, tearing the sheets down. I smirked at him from the opposite side of my bed, standing in my lime green pajamas with cute fluffy looking lambs on them.

"Who's snoozin' and losin' now, eh?" I grinned and maniacaly chuckled and left my room for breakfast.

The school day went by fairly quickly and nothing really important happened. My appetite-or lack thereof-attracted the attention of my friends, considering ordinarily I could eat a sum of food the size of a large pig. When we got home, Fang made me chocolate chip cookies, allowing me to take a nap. I woke up to the warm smell of my all time favorite food. I noticed a note to the right of them and picked it up to read it.

Max- Please eat at least three cookies~ For me. I'm with Ella at the park. Love ya -Fang

I smiled and grabbed a cookie. I took a bite of it, loving the party my tastebuds were having at the taste of delicious, delectable chocolate chip. These could give my mom's a run for their money. I reached for a notebook, wanting to start writing either a part of my book or a song, but dozed off several times, thinking about my life.

That's when Fang came home from the park, soaking wet. And boy did he look... hot. But you did not hear me say that! He was heavily breathing by the time he got to my door, his chest slowly heaving up and down, and he sexily gasped my name. I moved to the end of my bed and stood up.

"Fang, what's up? Why were you gone in the rain? Are you ins-" My question of his sanity was interrupted when his lips came crashing down onto mine. His wet, smooth lips moved with my chapped lips and for a second I forgot about how sick I was. I didn't think about my lips or my hair or the bags under my eyes. there was just him and his lips-and his tongue.

He pulled away, giving me my first kiss-I could cross that off my bucket list. But the next thing I knew, high heels were clacking in the hallway, making horrid, angry noise as the got closer to my door. Fang backed up and linked arms with the skinny red head in my doorway.

Lissa.

She leaned in towards Fang and kissed his lips tenderly.

"Oh, Nick. So glad you said goodbye to this loser." Fang looked guiltily at me before leaning in towards Lissa again. Their lips connected like magnets and their tonges moved together, two dancers in a beautifully agonizing dance. I watched in pain, swallowed up in my hurt, as the boy I loved gave wonderfully passionate kisses to another girl. It was all I could do to not suffocate myself right then and there, although their kisses were doing enough of that on their own.

Tears formed in my eyes but I didn't allow any to fall, so I just sat there, staring. So many painful things shot through my mind then.

Why is he doing this to me? Why does this have to happen to me? I thought things were going to be okay until I died. Why? Why? Why?

Fang pulled away hastily and stepped towards me. He gingerly took my hand and pulled me in to him. I felt a tear stream down my face.

"Sorry, Max. I could never love a freak like you. What a joke." He pushed me away from him and I stood there, awestruck.

Things were steadily getting worse, shooting down into a deep abyss I had hoped I would never plummet to again. Fang pulled Lissa in for another kiss and I just watched as his hands rubbed up and down her slim, perfect bo-

I shot up in a sweat, my hands flailing out to the left and right of me. My left hand came in contact with an arm and I slowly turned around to see my nightmare coming true. Fang sat on the edge of my bed, soaking wet, a concerned look plastered upon his face. Tears hit my eyes and I didn't bother holding them in.

My best friend crawled farther onto my bed and pulled me into his lap. Curled up, I lay crying in his lap for what must have been an hour in complete comfortable silence. I couldn't bring myself to tell him about the dream, though, because that would mean admitting to him that I was horribly and truly in love with him. I kept my mouth shut and just cried.

After about an hour and a half Fang left my room to help mom make dinner. I sat on my bed staring at my ceiling for a while, allowing the dream kiss to haunt me. I could practically feel his warm, sweet lips on my own the more I thought about it. But then I thought about his kiss with Lissa and felt myself collapse inside.

I gasped, grabbed my notebook and began writing yet again.

Hey, everyone! I'm SO incredibly sorry for the long wait! I'm awful! /: I'm going to try my hardest to make updates a tad more frequent because you all deserve it! I hope this was a good chapter, though! I know, it was shocking, but it was inspirational for Max, and therefore crucial to the story. Sorry to leave it off on such a dull note... Don't run after me with flaming socks and Q-tips! *scared face*

Zach: *evil face* do it...
Abby: Do you ever shut up?
Zach: Hey, now, you could always give me back to Ca-
Abby: Oh, would you look at the time? Best be going! Enjoy, lovelies! Review please, I'd love to have feedback! *blows kisses and drags Zach away from readers*

Love and Back Pains,
Abby
