Everything You Want Chapter 2: Chemicals React, a maximum ride fanfic

Disclaimer: Duh, I don't own either the song or the book... sadly.

Okay, originally, this was going to be a one shot, but after some thinking, I decided to continue it. So here is Chapter Two of 'Everything You Want.' By the way, the first song was Everything You Want by Vertical Horizon.

Title

Fang went downstairs to answer the door. He opened it, and there stood Sam in all his glory. 'I hate him,' Fang thought. Fang walked away, leaving the door. Sam peered in, and decided he should come in.

"Is Max home?" he asked. He got no answer from Fang, but as Fang was going up the stairs, a flustered Max came down.

"Hey Sam."

"Hey Max." he said, smiling. "We gotta talk."

Fang, hearing this, paused halfway up the stairs. He knew from various movies that that phrase couldn't mean anything good for Max. He decided to listen in since neither of them could see him. He heard Max say, "Okay, what about?" He could see her standing with one hand on her hip, looking at him expectantly.

"Well, you see, there's a problem. There's this girl that asked me out, and she's more gorgeous than you, so I want to date her. But she won't date me until I ditch you. So, I'll see ya around, 'k?" Fang heard Max move, and he heard a very loud stream of curse words following Max punching Sam in the face.

"Yeah, see ya around." she snarled. As Fang was coming down the stairs, he saw Max run outside and take off into the morning.

Max couldn't believe Sam. How stupid did he think she was? Did he think that she had no feelings, or what? She felt hot tears brimming her eyes. She wiped them away. She looked for a clear space to land, and finding one, went for a hard landing. She hit the ground running and just ran. She didn't know where she was going, or why; she just ran.

Soon, she came to a stop, out of breath and crying silently. "I should have listened to Fang," she said to herself. She sat against a tree. "Why am I such a screw up?"

"You're not." Max turned and looked to her right. And right there stood Fang. He walked to her and sat down next to her. "You're fine the way you are."

Max smiled and sniffled. "Thanks Fang. I think I'm ready to go back now." Max stood up and Fang followed suit. They headed back home.

When they got back, Max asked Fang if she could borrow his laptop. He said yes of course, what's a lovesick teenage mutant bird kid to do?

Fang sat in his room waiting for Max to come back with his laptop. He reviewed his day in his head. After Max had left, he went to Sam and picked him up off the ground by his collar.

"Man, what are you-"

"If you ever come near her again," Fang said in a low, growling tone, "I will personally hunt you down, and get you."

The deadly look in Fang's dark eyes made Sam hastily agree. "Yeah man, of course, I won't-" Fang dropped him and Sam scrambled off the floor and ran for dear life. After Sam left, Fang went to find Max.

Max came into the room, interrupting Fang's thoughts. With a smile, she handed him back the laptop and left. Fang was confused. He shook off his confusion and decided to write in his blog. He opened up his email, and though many came, one had an urgent headline. It was from Max1301. Curious, he opened it. It read,

Fang,

I'm sorry I didn't notice before.

There was a song under it.

You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm walkin' on broken glass
Like my worlds spinnin' in slow motion
And you're movin' too fast

[Chorus]
Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in a moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we jumped, yeah
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
The chemicals react
The chemicals react

You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm drifting out to the sea
Like the tides pullin' me in deeper
Makin' it harder to breathe

We cannot deny, how we feel inside
We cannot deny

Kaleidoscope of colors
Turning hopes on fire, sun is burning
Shining down on both of us
Don't let us lose it (don't let us lose it...)

[Chorus]
Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in a moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we jumped, yeah

We lived
We loved
We hurt
we jumped
We're right
We're wrong
We're weak
We're strong
We lived to love

But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
Watch the chemicals react
And just like that
The chemicals react
(The chemicals react)

That was the end of the message. Fang felt someone looking at him, and he glanced at his door. There stood Max, with a small smile on her face. She walked over to him and took the laptop from him, setting it on the desk. She sat down on the bed and looked into Fang's eyes.

"I'm sorry," she said. Fang didn't say anything; he took her face in his hands and just kissed her with all he had. And this time, he didn't get rejected.

The end.

The song from this one is Chemicals React by Aly and Aj.
