CHAPTER 6

APOV

I was walking with Warren in the park. I can honestly say that he is the sweetest guy ever. Him being tough wasn't an act. He really is. But around me I see different sides of him. It's crazy cause I've only known him for a week! Well...anyways we were holding hands and he was taking me somewhere in the park. He said he wanted me to see something he remembered from when he was younger. His mom would take him there before she passed. We were talking about random things.

"So can you do anything else with your power?" I asked.

"Umm....I can make shapes with it but that's about it. No other powers or anything. What about you?" he asked.

"Well I can calm people down if I want want by touching them. And I'm a wizard." I replied.

"Wizard?"

"Yup."

"Like bipidy bopidy boo?" he asked and I burst out laughing.

"Okay I was definitely not expecting you to say that. And yea somewhat like that." I said after my laughter reduced to giggles. He just smiled and pulled me between some bushes. There was a small clearing.

"Th-" he cut me off by pressing his finger to my lips.

"Wait for it. If it's still like I remember it, than it should happen soon." he said.

I was about to ask him what he was talking about when I saw it. It seemed like hundreds of fireflies came out at once. They flew everywhere, adding beauty to the plain clearing. The small pond was illuminated by the fireflies' light. The sight was breathtaking.

"It's beautiful." I whispered.

"Yea...it is." Warren replied. I hadn't noticed that he was looking at me when he said it.

I had put my hair up in a ponytail while we were walking so the fireflies swirled around my neck and formed a necklace. It was amazing. Then it started raining. I loved rain. I laughed and started to dance around, spinning and twirling in the small clearing. Warren just laughed because the fireflies would swirl around me. Then I caught eye contact with him and stopped. I walked towards him, unsure of what I was doing, but I kept doing it because my body knew it was right for me to be doing this. He held out a hand and I took it. He slowly lifted it over my head and spun me in a slow circle. I faced him again and placed my hand on his shoulder at the same time he placed his free hand on my waist. I stepped closer to him so I could rest my head on his chest, right on his heart. He held my hand between my chest and his. We started to slow dance and I noticed that our rhythm wasn't to music but to his beating heart. It was beating fast but slow at the same time. I was so relaxed and everything that had happened to me recently was out of my mind at that moment. I knew I was meant to be here. Not in Maxville, not at Sky High, but here, with Warren Peace. Resident Bad Boy. I don't know how I knew but I knew.

WPOV

I saw the fireflies come out. Her face went from confused to amazed. The light coming from them illuminated the small clearing.

"It's beautiful." she whispered. I couldn't help but look at her and think the same thing.

"Yea...it is." I answered.

The fireflies surrounded her neck and formed a necklace. I was so caught up in the beauty that is Alex that I didn't realize that it started raining. She laughed and started running around and spinning and twirling. She was so graceful with all the fireflies swirling and dancing with her. I simply laughed. Suddenly she stopped and we got eye contact. She started walking towards me. Almost as an immediate reaction I held out my hand for her to take it. She took it with no hesitation. I spun her in a slow circle without thinking. When she faced me again, she placed her hand on my shoulder and stepped closer to me, resting her head above my heart as I placed my free hand on her waist. I put both our hands between our chests. The back of mine was pressed above her heart and I could feel the steady beating of her heart. We started to slow dance with the beat to it. In that moment I realized that I wasn't put here to be just Warren Peace. Son of a villain and a hero or the badass of Sky High. Or even to become a hero or villain myself. I was put here for her. For this amazing, beautiful, independent girl. She's the only one person who hasn't been intimidated by me. I feel I can be me around her without being judged. I was falling for her...and hard.

APOV

I looked up at him and he was staring at me. The look in his eyes was that of a man that has seen light for the first time after being blind for so long. I knew I was looking at him with that same expression. He started to lean towards me and I closed my eyes and waited. His warm lips pressed against mine for the sweetest of kisses. I had forgotten about everything. Riley, my family, what day month or year it was, school, my friends. Hell even my name!! All that was left in the world was me and Warren. I opened my eye slightly and noticed that some fireflies formed a heart and some swirled around us. I closed my eyes and my hands twisted in his hair pulling him closer. His hands found the small of my back and pulled me towards him, bounding our bodies so close together that we might as well been a single person.

I reluctantly pulled away and gasped for air. His lips never left me. He kissed my jawline then my neck and made his way back to my mouth. I felt him nip my bottom lip, asking for an entrance. I happily obliged. Our tongues fought for dominance. He pulled away to breathe and then leaned down and gave me another sweet kiss. One word. Perfect.

MaxPOV

I was sitting in the kitchen eating my special To The Max. Justin was in the living room watching some educational crap on PBS or something. Suddenly Alex's cell phone started ringing. She must've forgotten it. Well duh if it's here. Unless she intentionally left it?....Okay my head hurts. I pick it up since it's a blocked number.

"Hello?" I said.

"Max?" the other end said. I knew that voice. Riley.

"What the hell do you want Riley? Alex broke up with you. Leave her alone." I snarled.

"What can you do about it?" More than you'll ever know.

"Stop calling this number. She's on a date. With someone who isn't an asswipe."Ok so technically I didn't meet Warren but Justin said he was cool.

"Such language for a little boy." I could hear his smirk.

"Fuck you."

"That's messed up to fuck a member of the family then another one. Don't you think?" huh?

"What are you talking about?" I asked...well...demanded.

"Let's just say Alex is more....experienced." what? Oh. OH!!

"You didn't!!" I yelled.

"I did. And I loved every minute of it. Alex...well, Alex wasn't completely okay with it. But hey. Do I care?" he said.

"YOU FUCKING PIG!!! THAT'S MY SISTER!! I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND BEAT YOUR ASS TILL YOU CAN'T WALK!!" I yelled into the receiver. He laughed and hung up. I was fuming when Justin came into the kitchen.

"Max what's wrong?" he asked.

"Riley." was all I managed to say. Justin's face darkened.

"What about him?" he got tense.

"He. Raped. Alex." I said through clenched teeth.

"HE WHAT?!?!?!"
