Date: Same as first chapter, except 3 hours later…
Location: Sedona, AZ
POV: Max
This bed is really uncomfortable.
I hate this bed.
I hope this bed dies.
Die bed, die.
I sighed aloud.
I miss him. I miss Fang.
NO.
I can't think his name or it will ruin my day!
Like it doesn't ruin all your days whether you think of him or not?
Stupid, effing, VOICE!
I always ignored that voice now. It left me alone mainly….except when I thought of…him.
Oh, how I need to see him!
This life that I had been living for almost the past two years was…well, it wasn't really a life actually.
Get up, after NO sleep, try and eat some food (though I rarely managed that challenge), then go flying aimlessly around for hours. I'd then crash someplace, force myself to eat and then got to 'sleep' and repeat the process.
No meaning.
No job.
No world to save.
No boy to love.
Well, I loved him. He just wasn't here to love me back. Like he would even if he were here…yeah right.
I started to sob uncontrollably then. How did it come to this?! How had I allowed myself to be broken this way!?
Fang POV
I arrived at the hotel I knew Max was supposed to be at. I couldn't breath now and my heart was beating out of my chest. I was here.
But would she still be?
I went to the front desk "I'd like to know what room Maximum Ride is staying in please?" I said as calmly as possible. My voice was shaking. So was I actually.
"Room 212." Sighed the bored teenage boy behind the counter.
"Thanks!" I mumbled and ran to the down the hall to the elevator.
Elevators SUCK! They are too slow!
The doors finally opened and I got into the elevator and pushed the '2' button.
TOO SLOW AND THEY SUCK!
-ding-
I ran out of the elevator and jetted off the room 212. There. It's right in front of me.
The door to my love.
My girl.
I was about to knock when I realized that the door was very old and had a manual lock, not a keycard thingy. Maybe it was unlocked…
I reached out a hand and turned the knob, opening the ancient door.
I stepped inside, closing the door behind me and then I heard it.
The most painful sound in the world!
Max was sobbing.
I ran to her, climbing onto the bed behind her. I wrapped my arms around her and turned her around to face me, holding her close.
Max POV
Strong arms enveloped me and interrupted my pity-fest.
I was turned around quickly and…OH MY LORD!
Fang…FANG FANG FANG!
"Fang…?" I whispered in a raspy and unbelieving voice.
He didn't answer. He simply leaned forward and pressed his lips to mine firmly.
Oh gosh, he's real!
And his lips….were amazing.
I was alive again! Breathing and thinking and feeling…good!
I tangled my hands into Fang's hair and pressed against him.
He was here. He had come back for me! He was kissing me! FINALLY!
Fang POV
I pulled my lips from Max's soft ones after the best minute of my life.
"I love you." I whispered firmly.
"I need you….I love you…" She whispered back, happy tears now falling from her amazing eyes.
"I'm so sorry for leaving….Let me be with you forever…?" I begged and nuzzled at her neck with my nose and lips.
"Forever." Max assured in a soft voice and then pulled me into a passionate kiss.
TADA!
