We pulled up to Max's house after having a great show. Everyone had loved us and Aaron and Mega didn't show up once. Max and I had been able to forget about the bruises we hid so well. At least we could until we pulled up to the house. Aaron and Mega were sitting in a car in front of Max's house. Did they know?

"Angel." Max said quietly. Her first thought was of course about her sister, who was alone in the house.

"She'll be fine Max. They wouldn't go that fair." Fang said looking at the other car. I pulled out my cell.

"Max, I'll call Angel and tell her to come out and get in the car. We'll get hell tomorrow maybe but for tonight we can relax." I said. "Can we crash at your place?" I asked.

"Yeah, anytime Nudge." Iggy said smiling at me. I called Angel.

"Angel, don't freak out but I need you to come out and get into the back of Fang's car. Don't ask questions just do it please." I said quickly.

"Nudge?" Angel asked. "What's going-"

"Angel, please." I said. Angel sighed but agreed. I hung up and two minuets later she came outside.

Aaron and Mega got out of their car. Angel stopped in the front yard looking between them and the car.

Third person PoV (To hard to do from Nudge's or anyone's PoV)

Angel couldn't explain the need to run to the car. As Aaron and Mega came closer to her she tried to make herself move. They moved closer and Angel took a step back. They stopped coming closer.

"Angel, where's Max?" Aaron asked his voice cold. Angel stood her ground but didn't speak. She didn't know what to think or say so she didn't say anything.

"Where is Max?" Aaron asked again going forward quickly and getting in Angel's face. In the car Fang and Iggy were holding Max and Nudge back so they wouldn't run outside. They all loved Angel but Nudge and Max were their top priority.

Angel still wouldn't answer him. She glared up at him not saying a word. Suddenly he shoved Angel. Hard. She flew down letting out a surprised shriek. Not even Fang could stop Max now. She pushed open the door and stalked over to Aaron. "Get away from my little sister!" She yelled. Aaron turned to face her Nudge not far behind. Mega walked over to Nudge grabbing her. Nudge couldn't get any closer when Mega was holding her back like this.

"Bitch." Aaron spat at Max. He slapped her across the face. Her head whipped to the side and Angel screamed her name. Max's face burned and was bright red. She looked at Aaron not speaking. "You little fucking slut." He spat again he hit her again and this time Max fell to the ground. Nudge was trying to get away from Mega and Angel was in shock. No one saw Fang and Iggy getting out of the car.

"You can't really hurt me." She said softly from the ground. Everyone froze. What was she talking about? Max had tears going down her face but she was saying he couldn't hurt her.

"Really?" Aaron asked coldly and then grabbed her hair throwing her to the side. He bent down to her level. "Didn't I just hurt you?" he asked his voice taunting.

"No." Max said still not getting up. "Pain is just a message, you can choose to never open it." She said and slowly got up. "We're done Aaron. You can't hurt me and we're done." Max said glaring. Aaron's face hardened and he suddenly grabbed Angel's blond hair lifting her from the ground by it.

"Does this hurt?" He asked Angel. Max was frozen staring at her sister. Angel pulled at his hand and nodded. She had tears in her eyes even though she had them squeezed shut.

"Max, do you really want to say that again?" Aaron asked. He shook Angel by the hair for good measure. Max shook her head no.

"Put Angel down. I was kidding, we're not breaking up." Max said slowly. Fang walked forward and Aaron's eyes flashed. His gripe on Angel tightened and she whimpered.

"Just go Fang. Please just go." Max said softly her eyes closed. She'd given up. Aaron was holding all the cards now. It wasn't her life anymore it was his. Fang started to reach out to Max but Aaron yanked Angel's hair. "Just go!" Max yelled at him. Fang and Iggy backed up and bit-by-bit Aaron loosened his grip. When Fang and Iggy drove away Aaron dropped her to the ground.

"Angel!" Max exclaimed gathering her sister into her arms. Aaron looked down on the two with cold satisfaction. Angel was sobbing and Max was trying to calm her.

"Tomorrow I will be back. You better be ready." Aaron said before motioning to Mega. He and Nudge had had a confrontation of their own and it had ended much in the same way. Mega released Nudge and she ran to Max and Angel.

"You're sick you know that." Nudge called to the boys. They didn't reply just got into their car and drove away

A/N: Okay I finally updated even though it was short! I know there might be some mistakes in the chapter but I'm too lazy to have someone check for them and I really wanted to move past this part of the story so please review and tell me what you think.
