Chapter three

Max's PoV

I hadn't seen Aaron all day. It was weird and I was worried he might be mad at me. Nothing happened with the new guy but that might not have been what he was told. It was lunchtime. Normal Aaron and Mega sat with us but not today. Today it was just Nudge, Angel, Gazzy, Rachel who plays bass in Iggy's band, her boyfriend Cole, and me. Iggy's band was really popular. Fang was in it too. Both Iggy and Fang had girls all over them. A girl named Lissa was a huge Fang Fan. Tess was a big Iggy lover. She was really nice but Lissa wasn't. She was a bitch who hurt other people for no reason. She seems to think that the less clothes she wears the more likely Fang is to talk to her. Anyway back to the band. Rachel plays bass, Fang plays guitar, Cole plays drums, and Iggy sings and plays guitar sometimes. They played at teen clubs, dances, and stuff like that. They sometimes used have me and Nudge play. If we sang now the lights were so dim you couldn't see who we were.

"Max where do you think they are?" Nudge asked. I saw fear in her eyes. She and Mega started fighting first. She's had more happen because she can't swallow her words. No wait that sounded harsh. I didn't mean it. I had to help Nudge. If she was scared that wasn't good.

"I don't know Nudge." I said and looked at my untouched food. "I'm going to look for Aaron." I said cutting off Rachel. She nodded but I saw Cole tense. Not him too. Fang and Iggy are bad enough. I ran out of the room.

The halls were empty. Till I saw them, Aaron and Mega. Mega smirked a little and hurried down a different hallway. I knew something was wrong. Aaron looked ready to kill. He came right up to me and I saw his hand fly. I tried not to scream.

Fang's PoV

Max got up and left the lunchroom. I waited. Mega came in without Aaron. I jumped up Iggy said "Run Fang." I wanted to tell him I was but there was no time. Mega was glaring at Nudge. Iggy could handle that. Max. I had to keep my promise and what kind of knight lets his princess get hurt?

I turned down the hallway. Then I heard it. A sickening smack that only comes from skin hitting skin. I pushed myself harder. I turned and saw them. Max was on the ground and Aaron speaking lowly to her. I didn't think I just ran right at Aaron.

Max's PoV

His hand came and I closed my eyes. Damn that hurt. He backhanded me. Then hit my back. I fell to the ground.

"Max why did you flirt with him? Why must you keep learning this?" He said. I wait for the next hit but it didn't come. Instead I heard Aaron fall. What the hell?

"What?" I asked. It was Fang. Was he stupid or something? He had knocked Aaron to the ground. Aaron hadn't seen him yet. I glared at him. He got the message. He got up and ran out of sight.

"Max what happened?" I didn't say anything. I never talked to him right after he hit me. I got up and walked back to lunch.

"Max are you okay?" Nudge asked. Her arm looked red as did one side of her face. We were right outside the lunchroom.

"Lets go cover up your marks." I said taking her hand. "What was his reason this time?"

"He said you had it coming. I got mad and he hit me." She sounded like she wanted to start crying.

"Nudge don't worry about me. I don't want to see you getting hurt. If you hadn't begged me not to I would have dealt with him earlier." I said. Mega didn't need to hit Nudge. The fact that he would get mad at her would be enough to make her cry. He didn't need to hit her.

"Max I do worry about you. Mega let something slip. Aaron is starting to suspect Fang is still your friend. He is getting really mad. Max what if he really hurts you?" I understood her fear now. She was scared for me. Aaron could be really violent when he was mad. If he found out about Fang...

"Then we will deal with when it comes. " I don't think Nudge got the fact that I said when not if.

Iggy's PoV

It was after school we were going to Fang's house. Aaron and Mega had attacked today. I didn't know Mega's drive but I knew Aaron's. He thought Max had flirted with Edward. I didn't know how he got that but he did. Fang had almost let Aaron find out about the friendship. That would only make things worse for Max and Nudge. He was so stupid. Every time he almost ran at them. What was his problem? He knew if they found out what would happen to Max and Nudge would be really bad.

"What were you thinking?" I asked. My voice was cold. Thanks to him it was almost worse for Nudge. I mean Nudge and Max. Yeah that's what I meant.

"I don't know. I just saw red Ig. I couldn't help it. I had already been thinking about my promise and how-"

"What promise Fang?" He had never said anything about a promise.

"A promise I made myself." He said a little too quickly. I let it go.

"Whatever Fang. Just remember we need to not be seen." We were at Fang's house. Fang lived in a really nice house. His parents were rich. But his mom had also had him when she was a teenager. She loved him but his dad didn't. Fang was around a lot of fighting. As a kid Max had been his hold. The thing that kept him living. The reason he got up in the morning. She had no idea what she did for him. Then she met Aaron. It was slowly at first. She spent less time with him. Then the marks started showing. Then she cut off the friendship.

"Look Fang I can't do this anymore. I can't deal with you and Aaron fighting. I love him Fang. But you don't so get out of my life." Max said walking away. Nudge had said the same thing to me. But I took it better then Fang. Fang had just lost his everything.

"Lets hurry up to my room. Nick is home so I bet another girl is." Fang said opening the door. Nick was Fang's twin (xD) and he was a total player. He was always trying for Max and Nudge. Right now he was with some girl named Talla. At least at school that was who he was with. But I think he had someone else home. Then we saw him. Nick was waiting for us.

"Aww little Fang is home with pyro Iggy." I glared. So did Fang. Nick laughed. "Oh I'm so scared. Anyway I just wanted to let you know there is a message for you. Some guys named Aaron and Mega. Max and Nudge were mentioned too. How are they?"

"Shut up Nick." I say. He laughs and walks away. Then he stops.

"I'll be at your show tonight." He goes upstairs. Nick had never come to our shows. We shrugged it off and went to practice. Max and Nudge would be over soon with Angel. Angel was going to help Nudge with getting Max ready.

***********

We were back stage. Max and Nudge were ready. Nudge was wearing a black skirt, black glittery tank top, and black heels. Her dark blonde highlighted hair was straightened with her bangs in her eyes. She looked really good but also different. I couldn't stop staring.

Max was wearing dark ripped up jeans and heels like Nudge's. Her shirt was black but looked like it had been paint splattered with purple. Her hair was also like Nudge's. They both had shoulder length hair. The lights would be off when they sang just incase. Nudge also sang a few songs alone. Max was more of a background singer. Nudge and me sang more then Max and Fang.

Fang and I walked on the stage with the rest of the band. Everyone was screaming and clapping. We were very popular. I went to the mic.

"Okay everyone for those of you that don't know I'm Iggy, that's Fang, that's Rachel, and that's Cole and we are The Flock."

A/N: Okay i am going to do the show but I need song ideas. Face down is out because they haven't written it if you have some ideas that is awesome just put them in a review. The amount of ideas I get will decide how soon I update. It can be for Max and Fang, Nudge and Iggy, Max and Aaron, Nudge and Mega, Max and Nudge, anyone and anything. Well I hope you liked it.
