AN: Hey guys. So, it's been a while. Sorry, I've been UBER busy. But now that summer has come, I should probably be updating more often. Also, I can't do RRT anymore, it's too long. But I might do PM responses sometimes. I'll only do SOTC and QOTC. Thanks for all of the lovely reviews. Oh, and this chapter's idea was thanks to BooksRide. Thanks, girl!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything besides the OC's.

LAST TIME ON SIHOOOT:

The tears fell then, in terrible streams of pain. What was wrong with me? Why did I poison everything I touched? What was wrong with me?

Chapter 13

I couldn't just sit there. No. I had wrecked everything, and now it was time to fix it. Even if I had torn any bit of friendship I might have with these two brothers into pieces, I at least wanted to let them know that I was so, so sorry.

I stood shakily and wiped the tears from my cheeks. Then, with determination as the only thing keeping me upright, I marched down the stairs and followed Alex. I couldn't just leave things as they were now.

"Max? What happened? Fang and Alex-" Iggy started but he was cut off from my hearing when I left the house to follow Alex.

It took me a while, but finally, after much sprinting and questioning bystanders for directions, I had caught up with Alex. He was walking slowly, his head down and his hands in his pockets.

"Alex!" I called. He turned, and when he saw it was me, he turned away and continued walking.

"Please, Alex- let me explain!" I cried, and grabbed his arm, spinning him to face me.

"I don't want to hear it, Max. I have nothing to say to you." He stared at me, and it sent fear through me because the only expression he wore was utterly blank. Shut down. Indifferent.

"But I have something to say to you!" I protested. So then, I told him everything- from the cheating, breakup, and cold shoulder to meeting again. I told him of my internal battles against myself about him and Fang and then I told him that while he was a brilliant friend, it was always Fang. Always, and only, Fang.

And he understood, and then confided in me that he had a bit of a crush on the girl who worked at the local coffee shop. I told him that he should invite her to our next movie night, and he said he was already wondering about it and smiled at me.

I think I'm forgiven.

IGGY POV

I saw Max run after Alex and decided that someone should talk to Fang too, and it probably shouldn't be Max. So I hurried down the street after him.

"Fangles!" I called loudly. I knew that he would approach me now if I called him weird names, to get me to shut up. It would lessen the search time.

"Fangarang! Fangaroo!" I called again.

Finally he appeared. "Would you kindly shut up, Igtard?" he hissed.

I smiled, a plan formulating in my head. But then I dropped it to keep up pretenses.

"Ok, Fang. Fine. But you know, what Max did was a mistake. It was the sadness acting." I added.

He narrowed his eyes at me.

"But how about you stay the night at my place? Since we're on leave from touring and such, I got a little place to chill at. We can hang out, just us." I suggested. Fang nodded, and I smiled. My mission just got a little easier.

"Nudge." I murmured into the phone.

"Yeah, Igs? Whatcha need?" she asked.

"I need you to bring yourself and Max to my new place." I explained my plan to her, and she readily agreed to it.

"I will, Igs." Nudge promised. "This is gonna be great."

MAX POV

"Hey Max! Iggy just called, he wants us to hang out at his new place." Nudge said.

"Yeah sure." I said tiredly. I had ran back to my house after talking to Alex, and was a bit winded.

"Ok. Grab your stuff and we'll be off." Nudge commanded. I nodded at her and gathered some stuff.

"Let's go, Nudge!" I called. We walked to Iggy's new place and in the middle of our walk, when the house was in sight, Nudge rang Iggy.

"We can see your house, Igs. Brace yourself." She said jokingly. Then she waited a minute, then hung up.

"Alright, Max." Nudge said, barging in front of me to open the door. She marched in and I followed. Iggy greeted us.

Then he seemed to remember something. "Hey Max, can you grab my phone from my room please? Third door on the right." He directed. I nodded, and entered the room.

"Fang?" I asked in shock. He was crouched down, looking for something. "What are you doing here?"

"Looking for Iggy's phone." He said coldly. "Why are you here?"

I opened my mouth to answer. "Iggy invited me, and asked if I could grab his phone….." my voice trailed off and realization hit us at the same time… just in time for the door to slam in our faces and lock from the outside. We banged on the door.

"You idiots, let us out!" I screeched at the cackling Iggy and Nudge.

"Let us go!" Fang shouted, hitting the door.

"I WILL BREAK YOU BOTH WHEN I'M OUT!" I screamed. "I WILL BREAK YOU. AND I WILL HAVE NO REGRETS."

That just made them laugh harder.

Then Fang's and our phones buzzed simultaneously.

Here's the game:

You two will talk it out. Make up. Be friends again, or more. Then we'll release you.

If you do not make up, or fake it, you will stay there.

That room is your home until you make up.

Enjoy.

Love,

Iggy and Nudge

Fang and I got the same text, and groaned.

Looks like we're gonna stay here for a while.

AN: That's it! I will update ASAP, but not today. Thanks for your reviews, and please review it up for this one, too! You guys are too kind. :3

SOTC:

Can you tell by the look in our eyes? (we're going nowhere)

We live our lives like we're ready to die. (we're going nowhere)

You can run but you'll never escape. (over and over again)

Will we ever, see the end? (we're going nowhere)

The last SOTC was Just Give Me A Reason by P!nk and Nate Reuss.

QOTC: Where in the world would you like to visit at some point in your life?

Last QOTC answer: Either Doctor Who or BBC's Sherlock. I love them both.

Fly on,
