CHAPTER 6

Max P.O.V

I opened my eyes feeling wide awake, it was dark and I was in my own bed so I'm guessing it was Saturday night or early Sunday morning. The party had finished what seemed like only a couple of hours ago, but there was no chance that had happened I couldn't even remember how I got in my bed, I must have been completely out of it – sleep wise. And I might have been drunk I wouldn't know I have very light hang over's much to Brad's envy it's funny in the morning when I'm all bright and breezy and he's got a banging headache.

As I woke myself up even more I started realising something was resting on my side, it felt like a hand or a monkeys foot they're like hands aren't they? Yes Max a monkey is in your bedroom – idiot! I twisted my head trying to see but my neck was stopping me – why oh why can't I be like an owl? So I turned fully onto my other side, whatever it was stayed in the same position but switched to my other side when I turned over. As I opened my eyes from turning over I was met with Fang's face close to mine, I could feel his almost silent breathing hitting my face softly. I turned away quickly before I started moving towards him, I swore under my breath then I heard Fang stir behind me. I heard him groan and move his hand away slightly hesitantly, I sighed and turned over so we were looking at each other.

"What time is it?"

"What happened?"

"Well done answer a question with a question!" I whispered yelled as quietly as I could, as I was suddenly aware of Verity, Zsa Zsa, Hannah, and Rainy (Where did she come from? I might have called her while I was drunk if I was!) (Sorry I forgot about her lol well she's here now we can all rest in peace!) Even Iggy and Nudge were asleep on the floor on pull out beds. I rolled my eyes and grabbed his hand dragging him out to the steps that lead down from my door. I shut the door behind us so that we could talk properly rather than whisper yelling.

"Which question first?" I asked sitting on one of the steps putting my feet up on the bottom door and put my hands behind my head and leaned back on the steps. Fang sat next to me, which was when I realised we were still wearing our clothes, he was even wearing his shoes, god knows where mine had gone – I'll look for them in the morning, unless it is the morning then I'll find them when I'm not busy.

"Mine" Suggested Fang

"Well I have no clue whatsoever, I can't actually remember what happened past the point where Me, Verity, Zsa, Nudge, Hannah and Brad were stood on one of the long table doing the cancan. And I fell off the table" I answered thinking hard, Fang chuckled beside me

"That was actually quite funny"

"Oi I could have had a concussion!" I complained punching him lightly on his shoulder

"It was still funny!"

"It might have been but... What happened after that?" I gave him a worried look and he returned the glance, I sighed and took my feet down off of the door and opened it. "I'm hungry" I smiled running out to the stairs, I sat on the banister and started sliding down it. It just so funny going down them, Fang sat next to me going down together. Once we made it to the bottom of the stairs I jumped off and ran into the kitchen, I knew there would be some cookies somewhere in one of the cupboards. The lights were all off – well they would be its night god you are thick tonight Max! – I crashed into the island and almost fell on the floor but crashed into the wall instead. Fang was stood in the door way leant up against wall his arms crossed looking very hot! I don't know whether he saw me staring at him but he looked down at the floor then back at me and smiled.

"Cookies!" I remembered breaking the looks that were being exchanged between us then looking to where the cupboards hopefully were. I fumbled around opening the cupboards and leaving the doors open, no cookies in there. I opened the fridge – still no cookies – where the hell was those cookies? I turned to Fang and put my hands on my hips, scowling and said

"No cookies!" He smiled at me and I was so glad it was dark; he walked up to me and hugged me. I wrapped my arms around his neck; we didn't hug each other like best friends anymore we had gotten closer, I had noticed that he had even started spending more time with me than Lissa. Sure he still went out with her and kissed her and stuff, but we were closer, it felt like we had known each other a life time rather than a week. Well he had known me longer but I had only known him a week. I released my grip slightly on him and looked into his black eyes – well what I could see of them! Even though it was dark he still looked so irresistible.

"Thanks" I whispered not taking my gaze from his eyes, I wanted to, I so, so, so wanted to kiss him right here right now. Ooh that's a song! Right here Right now by Fatboy Slim I loved that song! I started nodding my head the words flooding into my mind. Fang started chuckling at me "What?" I asked hitting him gently around his head; he looked at me shocked and returned the hit.

"Max where's the aspirin in this house?" Sighed the familiar voice of a hung-over Brad

"Third cupboard on the left, in here" I answered letting go of Fang and pulled myself onto the work top of the island

"Cheers" He said walking in and putting the light on, he winced at the light "Hey Max" His words were slightly slurred probably still that little bit drunk "Hey tooth!" He patted Fang on his back, I let a giggle slip past my lips and I was killing myself laughing at Fang's face at being called 'Tooth'.

"It's Fang Brad." I gasped through laughs

"Yeah yeah whatev... your mum's sat in the living room wanting to talk to you" He told me looking in the cupboards

"Great... did Ella come back?"

"Apparently not or she wouldn't want to be talking to you"

"I suppose, but you know what they say lighting doesn't strike twice so I don't think Ella or Michael are coming back" I sighed jumping off of the island and walked to the door "Wish me luck, Fang would you wait outside the living room? For me please?" I asked he nodded and Brad shook his head and smirked

"What did I say about your girly crushes?"

"Not much from what I remember" I replied dragging Fang behind with me as I walked slowly to the room, I stopped just before the door hesitating to open the handle then I realised Fang and I were holding hands. My hand was tingling like he was sending sparks up my arm; I squeezed it tightly before letting go and walked through into the battlefield.

She was sat in the middle of the L-shaped, blue, leather sofa staring at the blank TV screen. My TV, it was mine I bought it so it's mine; it had to be the same size of the longest wall take a few inches off the sides.

"Well?" I asked like nothing had happened

"Your sister didn't come home yesterday"

"I heard. What time is it?"

"It's half two Sunday morning, she still hasn't come back"

"Her choice" I replied simply she didn't have to go with him she could have stayed

"You made her"

"ME? I made her? Mum even when she has gone it's my fault! I want to be noticed for once that's why I went to that audition and became a singer! So that I got noticed!" I shouted I didn't care that I woke everyone up, I was so angry she wasn't even here and I was getting the blame!

"Max you're my eldest of course I noticed you!"

"Oh no you didn't! Once dad left and Nudge arrived with Harris then I got shoved to the bottom of the pile! Then along came the girl that could do no wrong! NO MATTER WHAT SHE DID NO MATTER HOW SMALL. IT WAS ME! ME WHO GOT THE BLAME! Thirteen years of 'Max look what you've done now!' and 'Why did you do that Max you've made her cry!" Oh boo fucking hoo!" Now I was really mad I only swore when I got to my boiling point.

"Don't you swear at me young lady!"

"Too late I already have!"

"What's happened to you Maximum?"

"I have gotten so fed up of being the one who gets shouted at. The one that does everything wrong, the one that can't do anything right in this house. Look at me mum! Look at me like you actually care, not with a fake smile on your face!" I shouted she looked hurt but I didn't care this was all going to come out anyway

"Do you remember that day when I came in and told you I had reached number one in the charts? Do you remember that?" I asked quietly she nodded "But do you remember that smile you put on? And once Ella came in and started doing that dance she was going to do for that audition all attention turned to her. We didn't celebrate, you didn't congratulate me, and we didn't do anything. It was my first number 1 and you acted like you couldn't care less! Oh and what happened when Ella's dad left? Hmm? Oh yeah I remember clearly you spent all of your time with her, but what happened when my dad left us? I got told that that was life and I should get used to it and not get my hopes up at anything life throws at me." I was close to tears at this point and I could see outside the door a little congregation of my friends that I had left sleeping in my room, Nudge was stood at the front.

"Max... I..."

"Save your breath mum, you've already done your damage." I sighed walking to them and Nudge hugged me hard so I could hardly breathe "Let's go to my room" I said battling with my tears as I got hugged from every direction, everyone except Fang and me went up the stairs we were stood at the bottom looking at each other. I could feel the heat of tears building up in my eyes; I hugged him hard crying slightly into his shoulder, he stroked my hair and whispered softly.

"It's going to be ok" Before picking me up and carrying me up the stairs, I hadn't got the strength to fight back, it was like there were sparks flying about us because as he picked me up I was sure I got a tingling sensation up my arm where we touched each other. My breathing was slightly raspy and I had the hiccups from the tears that I was unable to control and were pouring down my face.

Fang P.O.V

Max came out of the living room looking considerably upset, Nudge and the girls pretty much launched on her hugging her so that all me and Iggy could see was a mass of hair. One by one they let go until it was just Max and Nudge.

"Let's go to my room" Max said before getting hugged again, they let go and the girls, Iggy and Nudge started making their way up the stairs, Max and I were stood at the bottom of the stairs looking at each other. I could see her eyes starting to shimmer as the light bounced off of the tears that hadn't yet escaped. She hugged me and I could feel tears seeping through my shirt, I whispered into her hair.

"It's going to be ok" Then I put my head on hers and noticed the group had stopped at the top and were looking down at us, as I looked around with my eyes I noticed Brad was watching us from the kitchen with a few others. I sighed and picked Max up slightly bridal style and made my way carefully up to our friends, Nudge was smiling with Iggy stood behind, hugging her and Max's girl mates were making 'Aaaww' faces at me. Max though had buried her face in my chest and had started crying again, I kept her close to me as her breathing was getting jagged and she had started hiccupping which was quite sweet. But given the circumstance I had to put my feelings for her aside and be a supportive friend, of course friends have feelings for each other but, I actually love her. I know it now I made a HUGE mistake staying with Lissa this long, been almost a year and I've stupidly stayed with her through the countless rumours of her going behind my back with lads from my best mate to the very guy I hate yes there has been a rumour that she had been with her own brother! That was clearly a lie but still I'm not sure about the others and I naively carried on with the relationship thinking... I don't know what I was thinking. Of course I fancied Max all the lads did... how could you not? And now I knew her, knew her properly and she was laid in my arms crying silently into my shirt as I carried her up the stairs. I nodded my head to the little gathering at the top to go into her room; they smirked at me and rolled their eyes before wandering off to her room. I rounded the corner and put Max down as she had started wiggling about, and I didn't want to drop her. She wiped her eyes with her sleeves and looked up into my eyes like she was a little kid again, the sides of her mouth twitching, her eyes holding back more tears. I held her close to me as she squeezed her eyes shut a dribble of tears running down her face.

"I never wanted this to happen" She choked out burying her face in my shirt again

"You'll be fine, you've got us" I whispered into the top of her head, she moved her head out of my shirt and looked up at me her head resting on my chest. I looked down deep into her brown eyes; I could feel myself leaning down to her, the gap separating us gradually closing until she put her arms around my neck. Our noses were touching we couldn't have been more than a few millimetres away from actually coming together.
