Thud! I angrily launched a rock over the edge of cliff and heard the small thud it did as it collided with the unseen ground. I paced around the cliff's edge and muttered senseless curses under my breath.

Biting my inside cheek so as to not scream in frustration, I finally sat down crossing my legs. I've never had a fight with mom. Ever. So it was pretty frustrating to fight with the one person you thought you could count on, well besides Fang that is. Anybody who saw me right now would have probably thought I was being over dramatic with the whole thing, but let me tell you that having no family you can rely on, is pretty upsetting.

So here I was being all melodramatic, venting my anger by throwing rocks!! How lame can I get? Not only that, but I was having a dramatic breakdown in front of…Fang. Kill me now!

He had been quietly sitting down, while I threw a fit about how mom wasn't the boss of me and how she was all fake smiles. I'd told him how mom had really changed and how I used to miss her, until I saw the new side of her.

I told him everything I felt. I vented everything that came to my mind, because he understood. That's why, because he didn't ask questions, he just understood. And that was all I needed from him, his understanding.

From up here in this cliff, you could see the beautiful sky closer than ever. Fang had once told me the sky always made him feel at peace. Looking at it now, I realized what he said was true. It looked so peaceful, that I relaxed and set aside my worries.

I laid down facing the blue sky and marveled at how big and wide it was. Fang was quietly watching me, I guess to see if I was done with my temper tantrum. I turned my head and motioned for him to lie down next to me. After a few moments of hesitation, he did so. The moment he laid down, as if on instinct I grabbed his hand and he pulled me closer to him, comforting me with a simple gesture.

We stayed like that for a while, none of us saying anything, which was not surprising at all. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence though, it was calming and consoling.

When Fang saw I was completely calm again he said, "Max, she's just here 'till tomorrow, then she'll leave."

"I know," was all I said. He was referring to mom. She was going to be gone for I don't know how long and now that I just fought with her; she'll be gone for even a longer time. I ignored that, concentrating on his hands, the one that I was holding.

His hand was soft and warm, but that wasn't what caught my attention. I noticed he had several scars. They weren't everyday scars though, some of them looked like long scratches and some looked like dog bites. I could tell the dogs who bit him, must've been very big, because this bites were pretty wide.

I slowly sat up and grabbed his other hand, inspecting it. It surprised me when I saw long scratches there as well. One of his hands had a scratch that stretched from his hand to his forearm.

Fang was looking at me warily, waiting for me to say something about them. But instead I started tracing his scar with my index finger, all the way from his hand to his upper arm and back again. I looked up at him and noticed he had a guarded expression, but I couldn't figure out why, I mean everyone had scars.

At least I had lots of them and in multiple parts of my body too. So I can say that the bad thing about them is that they don't heal fast, but all in all, Fang's scars looked recently sealed.

The weird thing about the whole thing was that it should have taken scars like that at least a week and a half to heal completely, but I know he didn't have any of those scars during the week, or else I would have noticed. So how come he healed so fast? And where did he get them anyway?

I wasn't going to ask him any of those questions. I had decided that I was going to get those answers by myself. I was determined to figure him out and I was going to do it, without his help.

He still had a guarded expression on when I met his eyes, but when I didn't say anything he raised an eyebrow.

"What no twenty questions?" His voice had that frustrating cocky tone he often used, and just like the last time he used it, it drove me crazy.

I shook my head and pursed my lips, "Are you going to answer them, if I ask them?"

He was hiding a grin by now, "Nope, not likely." His cocky voice was back and it took a lot of willpower not to smack him at that instant.

I inhaled heavily and rolled my eyes at him, my lips still pressed together. "Then there's no point in asking them," I said sounding way less irritated than I felt.

"I suppose," he said, shrugging and looking almost amused by my reactions.

I glared at him and turned around, giving him my back. Yup, that's Fang, one moment he's all understanding and comforting and the next he's all cocky and arrogant. I guess guys are just confusing, overall I mean.

I didn't mind him not sharing stuff with me, I mean he wasn't a big sharer, but the least he could do was hint them. You know like, when you don't want someone to find out something but you throw hints at them, well why couldn't he do that?

I gritted my teeth and heaved out a long sigh. My life was full of question marks and no answers.

I looked up and saw that the sun was setting. Fewer birds were flying around and the sky didn't look as bright as earlier. With a groan I realized it was time to go to the hell hole I called home.

Fang looked at me sideways and when he saw my expression he nodded reluctantly and stood up, helping me up with him.

We got home before it got completely dark, stopping just in front of the porch. I asked him with my eyes if he was going to come in, hoping once again his answer was yes and at the same time no. I wanted him to stay with me, but I didn't want him to take a look at what my life was like.

His eyes didn't tell me anything and he looked like he was having an internal struggle with himself. Fang shook his head, as if to clear it and having his resolve, he took a step closer to me.

My breath hitched and I waited for him to say something, anything. But instead he placed his hand on my cheek and traced his fingers from my cheeks, to finally my lips. I usually didn't like the touchy feely emotional crap, but with Fang it was different.

Seeing him all hesitant and unsure made feel weird, all tingly and stupid. I didn't care though and at that moment I leaned into his hand and placed mine on top of his. Slowly his other hand came and grabbed my waist, bringing me closer to him.

He slowly brought his face closer to mine and my heart beat double time when his nose started skimming my neck. His face was mere inches from mine and his nose wandered all the way down to my collar bone and up again. I didn't know what to do since this was all new and weird to me, but ignoring my stupid thoughts, I relaxed against his melting touch.

He pulled back to study my face, searching for something in my expression. What he found must've been reassuring 'cause the next thing I knew his lips were on mine, his arms going around me, holding me against him.

I was so shocked I didn't react at first, but when I realized what was happening, I melted into him. His lips were soft and tender against mine. His hands firm around me, rooting me to place. I placed my hands around his neck and lost myself to the feeling of his tender kiss.

His mouth was warm and inviting as our lips moved in perfect synchronization. Something inside me stirred and the next thing I knew, I grabbed his shirt and pressed my lips more firmly against his. He responded immediately his mouth getting rougher on mine, sending sparks trough my whole body.

My hands tangled themselves in Fang's black, midnight hair and all I could feel was Fang and all I could hear was our uneven breathing. His tongue traced my bottom lip and I shivered, opening my mouth to him. I slanted my face this way and that to get closer to him, making him shiver.

Soon I was running out of breath and with a wild gasp, I tore my mouth from his. I was breathing heavily and my heart was thumping loudly against my chest. I drew deep gasping breaths and if it wasn't for the fact that Fang was breathing just like me, I would have been extremely embarrassed.

I looked up to see Fang's beautiful eyes, bright and soft-looking for the first time ever. A slight smile grazed his swollen lips and my heart squeezed. I probably sounded so stupid and girly but right now I couldn't really care at all.

It was just Fang and me, nothing else mattered. The only person who truly meant something to me was him. The little things I knew about him, made me realize no one would probably made me feel like this and right now gazing into his dark obsidian eyes, I realized how close to him I had gotten in this past week and all it took him was, his understanding.
