Okay, this is my second chapter! Enjoy and pleaaaase review? Magic cookie's for those that do!

So this was all just so flaming great! I'd just completely humiliated myself in front of Fang, and I know he will never ever let this go! Okay, so I was getting my chip out of my arm, with the help of Doctor Martinez. She said she had to give me Valium, so I wouldn't feel anything. But I think she may have given me way too much, because I sort of...accidently told Fang...I loved him!

I couldn't believe it, but I just couldn't stop saying it! I was even holding his hand and trying to stretch my own to show how much I loved him. I know what you might be thinking, they're like brother and sister, of course they love each other, but I didn't say it in that way. I was saying it in that mad, passionate way others do, and all Fang could say was 'Oh Boy!'

Anyways, after the operating it turned out I've temporarily lost the use of my arm, so it just hangs there, limp beside me, day and night, never useful! Dr. Martinez kept on apologizing, so I had to keep comforting her.

"It's not you're fault. I wanted this, whether I've lost the use of my arm for a little while is my problem," she still seemed to look a bit worried, so I tagged on an "I'll be fine!"

It was the afternoon, and we were all sat inside with milk and cookies on the table. I'd missed these cookies sooo much on my first week away from here, I've never had such delicious cookies in my life than this fabulous woman makes!

Every now and then when we were all talking, I could feel Fang's eyes on me. It wasn't just an occasional glance either, they were long lasting stares, long enough to make me want to scream up to the heavens that what I had said was just because of the Valium, and that he shouldn't make anything from it.

"We thought we might have a barbeque tonight. What do you think, Max?" Ella asked as she brought me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah, that sounds okay" I smiled at her.

Ella was great. She was a really nice person, and she was letting me sleep on the floor of her bedroom. She treated me like a sister, and was absolutely overjoyed when she found out I was back, even if it was only for a few days. At first when she saw me she wouldn't let me go, hugging me so tight I could barely breathe, and we have extra air sacks as well!

Ella and Dr. Martinez went out of the room and into the garden to set up the barbeque, when I could feel Fang's gaze on me once again, so I turned towards him and glowered.

"What I said yesterday didn't mean anything. I love all the flock, and, it was the Valium talking, not me!" I scowled at him. He smiled very smugly back and sat with his hands behind his head, resting back against the sofa.

"You keep telling yourself that" he winked, "I know you love me really."

I practically shrieked in rage and tried to swing at him, but jarred my arm, and he caught it in his hands and laughed.

"Pick a tree, I'll go carve out initials into it" he said again, and I scowled angrily trying to jerk my useless arm free, but his grip tightened and he smiled.

He got up from his seat and started dragging me towards the door. I was still angry, but very curious.

"Where are we going?" I asked, anger still in my voice, but masked by my curiosity.

"You'll see" Fang said in a sing song voice.

When we got to the door Fang yanked it open and wrapped his arms around my waist, before leaping into the sky, unfolding his wings and taking off, holding me still.

"Fang, Get off! I've lost the use of my hands, not my wings!" I yelled, but I heard him chuckle and he brought me tighter against him.



"Shut up, you know you love it really" he whispered, nuzzling his head against the back of my neck. It sent shivers down my spine and my face flushed bright pink. I was actually glad at this point he couldn't see my face; otherwise I would have been mocked for that as well!

I settled down slightly instead of squirming, knowing if I continued I'd be dropped out of the sky. We flew for quite a long while, before we ended up over the top of a forest. Fang zoomed upwards towards all the clouds. We went through one and got drenched. I yelled again, the water seeming through my clothes and making me shriek, whilst fang laughed and flicked his hair about to get it out, before nose-diving down towards the forest.

I clung to his arms, totally frightened about when he would stop, as we were approaching the trees at a terrifying speed. He just gripped me tighter but carried on right down, until we almost touched the trees. He swooped down and went through them slowly, looking at each one with interest. He didn't speak for ages, as we swooped around, until I started getting impatient.

"What are you doing?" I asked, getting more bored by the second.

"Waiting for you to choose a tree" he spoke simply, and I turned so I could face him. His face remained blank and his eyes widened a slight bit with innocence. "What?"

"You're serious?" I asked in alarm. He grinned and swooped down so my feet touched the forest floor. He unravelled his arms from my waist and looked around.

"Am I ever not serious? Now come on, pick a tree!" he said, as I threw him a disbelieving look. He just looked at me, leaning against a tree. I rolled my eyes, and decided to play along, by looking around. I saw loads of boring tall ones, but none seemed like one that should be carved. Then I saw one, a beautiful oak tree, sat right in the middle.

"Alright. That one" I pointed at the oak and Fang smiled slightly before pulling a pocket knife out and walking to the oak tree, bending down and worked on it. I leaned back against the tree he was leaning on earlier and waited for him to finish this ridiculous joke. He turned back to me and grinned and point down to it.

A sweet little heart was set on the outside, with the letters: M.R + F inside. I smiled at this, Fang hadn't given himself a last name, and I looked up at him and raised an eyebrow.

"Are you finished making fun of me yet" I asked cynically and he shook his head.

"I don't think so..." he said, and quickly leaned down and kissed me hard on the lips. I was too stunned for a moment, before I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him back. His hands slid around my waist, and mine up to his neck. We stayed like this for a long time, until we both broke apart, gasping for air.

"Max?" Fang whispered, so quietly I thought he hadn't said a thing.

"Mmm?" I muttered back, just as quiet.

"I love you" he whispered and kissed my nose. "I love you sooo much!"
