"You? You cut yourself?"

"So?" he mumbled. And all of a sudden, the dried blood on the carpet over at the door made sense.

"Nick, why?" I asked, sitting down on the bed and looking up at him expectantly. He glanced at me uncomfortably before shrugging and sitting down on the bed, close enough that his leg brushed mine as he sat; I bit my lip anxiously, feeling the electricity rush through me with his touch. He glanced at me and tried to cover his smirk. "Shut up and answer the question!" I slapped his arm. His face sobered up and he was back to his usual no emotion face. He shrugged.

"Nick please? Just tell me." I placed my hand on his bicep.

"'Cos I deserve the pain." He stated looking away, at a chest of drawers on the other side of the room. I grabbed his chin and turned his head to face mine.

"Why would you say something like that?" I snapped, looking into his midnight eyes.

"Max..." He took a breath, "Don't sympathize with me. I don't deserve it." He dropped his eyes onto his hands which were resting one on either side of his legs on the bed.

"Don't say that Nick." I sighed.

"Max, stop!" He stood up abruptly making me jump. "I actually don't deserve this! How could you sit there and try to make me feel better? I'm after calling you a whore; you can't actually expect me to believe that you don't care at all!"

"I really don't ..." I started, only stopping when he bent down in front of me and he looked straight into my eyes.

"Max, I am so sorry, I was just mad. I won't say anything like ever, ever again. Please, please forgive me?" He was holding my hand at this stage.

"Yeah, I forgive you." I smiled at him, his face lit up and he smiled. Whoa, he actually smiled! Like, he showed me his teeth.

Fang P.O.V.

She had forgiven me! I felt a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders and I just wished that she had forgiven me before the whole incident – no, I deserved that; I shouldn't have stooped so low.

I was so happy that she had forgiven me, I didn't notice that I had stood up, bent over and was now leaning in to kiss her. She met me halfway and I just about noticed her hands snaking up and wrapping themselves around my neck. I wrapped my arms around her waist and turned my head to get deeper into it. I was already unsteady on my feet so when she pulled my neck pulling me closer to her, I fell. On top of her. I just about managed to get my arms from around her neck and broke my fall with my arms. I held myself over her with my arms. She laughed, "Oops." She said breathily. I went to lean again when I remembered something. I pulled away slightly and frowned. "Nick what's wrong?" She stroked the place where my eyebrows met with her index finger. I relaxed slightly, but I was still frowning.

"I... What about Dylan?" I blurted out. Now, it was her turn to frown.

"Oh." She whispered, "That's right. Sorry Nick."

I stood up, shook my head and picked up a pillow that had fallen in between me and Iggys bed, I hit Max with it before throwing it on the bed and running out of the room, chuckling. I went to turn and go down the stairs when I walked into Iggy. And fell. Onto my ass. In front of Ella. And Max. Great.

"Dude. Ouch." Iggy pouted, "I thought you liked me." I glared at him just as Max reached us, laughing. "How did you fall now? The ice is outside not in here." Iggy continued, bending down with an outstretched hand which I took and pulled myself up. The girls finally stopped laughing and all four of us just stood at the top of the stairs quietly.

"Why'd you guys come up anyways?" Max asked quietly.

"Oh yeah," Ella piped up, "I got bored waiting for you to come downstairs so I turned on the telly in the kitchen. I watched the news so I could check the weather out, and guess what?" She bounced excitedly.

"What?" I asked tilting my head slightly, wondering how she had made it up the stairs in those heels.

"We can't go home! There's a snowstorm coming or happening, and it's too dangerous to be out. YAY!" She squealed, no that isn't nice, only pigs squeal..

"But we have no clothes Els." Max stated. Ella giggled, "What did you do Ella?" She asked cautiously.

"Well, I packed a bags for both of us, just in case Mom got a little tipsy and we now know that she's past tipsy. So I was going to have the bags anyways but then, earlier today I heard that it was going to be snowing heavily so I now had more reason to get them." She tugged Maxs arm, "C'mon help me bring them in."

Max frowned, "Is your uncle still down there?" She turned to Iggy. A look of understanding flashed across his face. What? What's going on between Max, Iggy and my uncle? He nodded. Max took a step away from the stairs and closer to me and Iggy. "Come down with us?" She looked between me and Iggy. Iggy nodded and so did I.

"Wait, it's pointless all four of us going out and getting two bags. No matter how you feel." Iggy said pointedly to Max. "How about me and Els get the bags, and you two set up our sleepover gear?" He suggested. I looked at Max who was biting her lip.

"Fine, but don't let him near Ella." Max sighed eventually. Iggy nodded and went downstairs, quickly followed by Ella.

"What's up with that? What's wrong with Joe?" I asked poking her arm.

"Tell you later. Anyways, what's the 'sleepover gear'?" She asked, turning to face me.

"Do you know when Ella stays here?" I started, she nodded. "Well I try to not be there but when I am there we have like a movie thing where we put a load of blankets and pillows in front of the flat screen and crash there after watching a movie or two."

"Oh, cool!" Her face lit up, "Where are all the pillows and blankets?"

"Just down the hall here. In this closet thing." I led her to the 'Cushion Corner' as Iggy calls it. "Here." I handed her four pillows. "There's already some in my room."

I pulled out two (double bed) blankets and followed her quietly, she was sitting on the bed the pillows laying behind her. I dropped the blankets on the floor and started making a little fort-like thing for us to sleep in.

"Hey Max?" I turned to her, "Pass the pillows, please. Oh yeah and get two more blankets if you can, I can still feel the floor through this one and it's sore to sleep on."

"Kay." She said throwing all the pillows from Iggys bed onto me. "Oops, I slipped." She laughed, exiting the room.

Max P.O.V.

"I'll get you back!" I heard Nick call from the room.

"Whatever!" I called back, laughing quietly. I walked down the hall until I reached the closet with all the blankets and pillows. I picked up two massive blankets and turned to kick the door close. I went to go back into Nick and Iggys room, when I felt a pair of strong hands on my shoulders twisting me to face them. I expected to see Nick or Iggy but I saw myself looking up into the a pair of emerald green eyes.

Joes eyes...

Haha cliffy.

I had a longer chapter but then I managed to delete it... Oops. Sorry. Another chapter is up soon though. Hey, you should be proud! I went ages without updating then I just updated three chapters in one week!

Okay, I got bored and then I noticed that I didn't really do a good job showing you guys what Iggy and Fangs room looked like so I decided to do it on Microsoft word... Here's the best I could do.

It's a huge room okay guys?
