Voices
I walked downstairs to be greeted by 5 teenagers, about my age. A mocha colored girl stepped forward. She had big chocolate brown eyes and even darker curly hair.
"Hi! I'm Monique. All my friends call me Nudge though. Hey what does Max stand for? Mackayla? Maxine? Mac-," someone clapped his hand over her mouth. He was so pale, like, picture the Cullens. That was his skin. He had strawberry blond hair that slightly hung over his eyes. He towered over me, and that's saying something. I'm about 5 5" so he had to be about 6 1".
"I'm sorry about her," he said, "She gets a little... talkative. Hi I'm Iggy." He held out his hand and I shook it. Next, a girl with long brown hair and matching eyes came forward. She held out a tan hand and I took it. She pulled me into a hug.
"Hi! It's sooo nice to meet you! I'm Ella. I can tell we're going to be great friends!" I was a bit taken aback by this. Friends? I've never had friends. Not since the accident. More on that later I guess. When Ella backed away, a girl with long platinum blond hair and clear blue eyes.
"Hey! I'm Ariel, but everyone calls me Angel. It's so great to meet you." she said stepping away. I looked from face to face trying to memorize everyone. 'Nudge, Iggy,Ella, Angel...' Then I saw him. He had olive skin and black hair that completely covered one eye. He had black eyes that held my gaze until he stepped towards me.
"Hi," he said in his smooth low voice. "I'm Fang." He made no move to shake my hand so we all just stood there awkwardly.
"Um..." Ella said "Who wants to go to my house?"
"Sure." We all mumbled. Fang, though, stayed quiet. While we walked out the house, I noticed him staring at me. Huh.
FANG POV
When she walked down the stairs, I was paralyzed. Her sun tanned face dusted with freckles and framed by brown hair with blond streaks. She looked adorable with a pout on her lips. Wait, did I just think that? Forget about that, now. Everyone introduced themselves to Max while I just stood there and took in her beauty. After a while there was a silence. I took one step towards her, but I guess my arms were still frozen.
"Hi," I muttered. "I'm Fang." There was an awkward silence once again until Ella suggested that we all go to our house. We all muttered our agreements except me, who was still in awe of Max. We walked out the door and Max glanced up at me and held my gaze until she walked out the door.
We hung out in my basement and talked about random things. Teachers, school dances, life in general, then we got to the topic of parents.
"My parents are way to over protective." Nudge said "I mean, i cant even go to the mall without telling them what mall, what time I'm leaving, and what time I'll be back. It's ridiculous!" She threw her hands up in frustration.
"You think that's bad? I still have to go to the mall with my dad!" Ella shot back.
"What about you, Max? Anything suckish?" Iggy asked looking at her.
Her face turned red and I saw the tears in her eyes that she didn't want to show. I could tell we hit a topic that would not soon be talked about.
"Excuse me," she said through her teeth and ran into the bathroom.
"Aw, well now I feel bad." Iggy said.
Right then I was about ready to punch him in the face.
"You idiot, dude! You should have known something should have happened where she had to be adopted. Christ!" I yelled, exasperated. Everyone looked at me from my outburst.
"Oh. Now I see. FANG HAS A CRUSH! FANG HAS A CRUSH!" Iggy sang. I got up and actually punched him in the face, then sat back in my seat. Nudge burst out laughing.
"Ella, go check on Max she's been there for like 30 minutes." With that, Ella disappeared around the corner.
MAX POV
I ran into the bathroom on the verge of tears. A couple of months ago, my mother, father and I were driving to Florida. Of course I was being my annoying little self, asking 'Are we there yet?' My dad i guess got annoyed while we were on a bridge and looked back at me.
"Max," He said sternly, "We are not there yet." He looked back at the road to see a car switch lanes. He swerved off the bridge. The car flipped over and over. I remember the feeling of being on a roller coaster. And then we hit the water. I can still clearly see the water filling the car, my dad trying to break out the window. Mom looked down, the water was right at my throat.
"Hold your breath, sweetie. I love you." she said with tears on her eyes. A smile on her face.
"I love you mommy. I love you daddy." he gave up on the window. I took my last breath. Then everything was black. Then I woke up. I asked the nurse where my parents were. I wanted them, I needed them.
"Honey, someone will be here to talk to you soon." she said sadly.
"NO! WHERE ARE MY PARENTS?!" I screamed at her.
"Do you remember what happened?" she asked.
"Yes. The car crash?" I said "What about it?"
"They-" she stopped.
"They what?" I said raising my voice.
"They died in the crash, honey." The nurse quickly said.
That's when the voices started, and they were louder then ever now.
"It's all your fault."
"You should have never been born."
"You killed your parents."
I then heard a knock at the door.
"Max? Are you okay?" It was Ella. She sounded worried.
"Yeah. I'm fine." I said trying to keep the tears out of my voice. "Just give me a few minutes, okay?"
"Okay," She said, not completely certain, but he still walked away.
I sighed and rinsed my face with cold water. I opened the door and walked unknowingly into Fang's arms. They wrapped around me.
"I'm so sorry." He sighed into my hair. Then he simply walked away as if nothing happened. My life is getting more and more confusing bu the second. Lord, help me.
FAX FLUFF! Ok well I'm going to go to bed and am going to start the count down. 3 MORE DAYS UNTIL MY BIRTHDAY! Ok night guys.
