PLEASE READ THIS! A/N So sorry guys! Things have been insane for me, I finally moved into my new house and we hadn't hooked up the wifi yet so I had no way to update, but (finally) my parents had the dude come in and set up the wifi so I can finally update (and watch Netflix again holla) anyways sorry if this is short, I'm still busy unpacking and re-organizing stuff etc. Also, if you haven't heard, Robin Williams committed suicide yesterday (August 11th) and I just want to say that it's terrible to go through that sort of thing, especially if you're a family member or close friend. As someone who has gone through depression (still am) first hand and has had many people close to me go through it as well I'd like to say that you're not alone, so make sure everyone you're close to knows that, and make sure you know that. If you need help don't be afraid to reach out and get it, also I'm always here if needed. No one should get to a point where they think harming themselves is the only way out. It happens so often now, I find that it's often the people you'd never expect to be depressed or suicidal that are so make sure you check in with your friends every once and a while and make sure everything's okay, because I know how much it sucks worrying that you could lose someone. Now, on a less serious note, I might not update for another week after this since I'm so super busy, but I'll try my best, enjoy! :)

Max's POV

I throw my bag into my room, not really paying any attention as to where, and throw myself onto my bed. Man, if I could just sleep all day everyday my life would be good.

I get up and make my way over to my bag and pick it up, deciding to do my homework now and get it over with.

I don't have much work to do anyways, just some basic review from last semester.

After 30 minutes of agonizingly painful homework I slam my binder shut and throw it back into my bag, I make my way downstairs to get a snack.

I open the fridge and smile when I see a container full of peas (what? they're good...don't be judgy) I grab them and close the fridge.

I turn around and run into a human wall, a wall that smells like laundry detergent and fresh air, "Don't do that!" I shriek, hitting Fang in the chest.

"Do what? Breathe?" Fang smirks.

"You know what I mean...jackass" I grumble as I take a seat on the couch and open my peas.

(A/N yes i know the whole "do what? breathe?" thing is overdone but it's a classic line i had to use)

"Is Maximum Ride eating" Fang pauses to gasp "VEGETABLES?!" he cries, "Yes" I reply, breaking some out of the shell and popping them into my mouth.

Fang just chuckles and sits down next to me, grabbing some out of the container, "Is Fang Walker eating" this time I pause to gasp "VEGETABLES?!" I yell with an outraged tone in my voice.

"Yes" Fang mimics me and pops some into his mouth, god I want to kiss his mou-... pretend I didn't just think that.

I roll my eyes and punch his arm "I don't sound like that" I grumble, "Sound like what?" Fang asks batting his eyelashes and making hid voice go even higher than it was before.

I start laughing so hard that I choke on my peas, I decide to have a little fun, I start coughing louder "I..can't... breathe..." I say as I pretend to gasp for air.

"Max? Are you okay?" Fang says, I just shake my head, coughing louder. "oh my god Max'' Fang says as he starts patting my back in an attempt to get me to stop 'choking'.

I stop coughing and look up at him and smile "Gotchya" I grin, "I hate you" Fang glares, "You love me" I smile and eat more peas.

Fang gives me a small smirk but doesn't say anything, then, I hear his phone ding "Ohh Mr. Popular" I tease as I pick up his phone.

Fang grabs his phone out of my hand as I laugh "Who is it?" I ask casually as I finish off my food "No one" he replies typing something into his phone.

"Aw come onnnn Fangypoo" I say and grab his phone, "Hey give that ba-" I cut Fang off "oohh Lissaa" I coo as I hand his phone back to him.

"You should ask her out" I say.

"Why?"

"Because, she obviously likes you, and it's not liked there's anyone else standing in her way, or yours"

"I guess not..." Fang trails off.

"Plus, as Nudge put it earlier 'she's super pretty' and it's not like she'll say no" I shrug and stand up to put the empty container into the dishwasher.

Fang just shrugs "Maybe" he says.

Fang's POV

It's clear that Max doesn't feel the same way about me that I feel about her, maybe I should ask out Lissa. At least she likes me, maybe she'll help me forget about Max.

Right now, it's 2AM and Max is asleep next to me, since the first week of school is over we decided to have a movie marathon. Max fell asleep about halfway through the third movie.

I look over at her, watching her chest rise and fall with every breath. Her sun streaked hair is lying messily over her shoulders and she has her cheek resting on her palm.

I stand up and grab her favourite knit beige blanket from off of her window seat and cover her with it, since she's asleep on the floor in a bean bag chair I pick her up and carry her to her room, laying her down on her bed.

I start to leave the room when I hear Max's voice behind me, "Fang" she mumbles groggily "Stay" she pleads.

Surprised by Max's request I walk towards the bed and lay down next to her on top of the covers, she snuggles closer to me, heat radiating off of her.

I wrap my arm around her shoulders and rest my head on top of hers. Max and I used to do this all time, especially after she lost Sam, she couldn't sleep without me next to her.

The reason I'm so surprised is that she hasn't asked for me to stay in a long time, and for all you perverts out there no, nothing ever happened, we're just friends.

I close my eyes, Max was so close to me now I could feel her heart beat. I really need to get over this whole 'being in love' with Max thing, because I know it'll never happen.

I feel Max throw her arm over my chest and bury her head farther into the crook of my neck. Smiling at her closeness, I start to drift off as well, until I'm too tired to think coherent thoughts.

I wake up to find that Max is still asleep next to me, I look at the clock on her nightstand, it reads 10:30AM. For me, this is considered sleeping in late. Max's mom has been working more lately, she never used to work on the weekends, but now she does so she isn't home.

I think Max told me that Ella slept over at Nudge's last night, so we were all alone.

I get up slowly, making sure not to wake Max, and pull her blanket back over her shoulders since it had fallen off in her sleep.

When I reach the kitchen I blink my eyes, adjusting to the light streaming in through the kitchen windows and start making breakfast.

Surprisingly, Max actually has all the ingredients I need to make her favourite breakfast, which is bacon (extra crispy) with potatoes and scrambled eggs.

And no, it isn't weird that I know Max's favourite breakfast and how she likes it cooked, everyone knows their best friends favourite food.

After I've rinsed the potatoes, I start cutting them into small wedges and throw them into a bowl. After they've all been chopped up I mix in all the spices necessary and spread them out on a tray and throw them into the oven.

(A/N Where I get these they're called home fries, basically just chopped up potatoes wedges with seasoning, I've never actually made them before so forgive me if I'm getting it wrong).

I set the timer and start cooking the bacon, when I hear the soft sound of Max's feet on the floor and she enters the kitchen. Her hair is messy, and the sleeve of her t-shirt is falling off of her shoulder, she yawns and rubs her eyes, trying to wake up.

I smile "Morning Maxie dearest" I say as I start cracking eggs into a bowl, "If you continue to call me Maxie I'll need to start calling you Fangypoo, in public" Max's glare lacks all it's usual fire since she's still trying to wake up.

"Something smells good" she says, her eyes widening.

"Yeah, I'm making your favourite" I say as I flip the bacon over in the pan.

"You know me too well..." Max grins and gets up to grab two plates and two glasses from the cupboard. She fills one glass with orange juice for me, and the other with apple, for herself.

"I still don't get how you drink apple juice" I shudder at the memory of me drinking so much apple juice that I threw up, hey, I was eight gimme a break.

"I can drink it because I didn't throw a bunch of it up on the water slide at the zoo when we were eight" Max says giving me a pointed look.

I frown and put on Max's mom's pink oven mitts and take the food out of the oven, I hear Max's musical laugh behind me "What?" I ask closing the oven.

"You look like a housewife with those on" Max giggles, looking at the hot pink oven mitts on my hands.

"I'm sorry Max, did you want food?" I ask raising an eyebrow. Max's expression grows dead serious "Don't joke around like that Fang, food is a serious topic".

I smirk and turn around to take the bacon off of the pan, thinking about how cute she looks when she gets mad.

Once I've turned off the oven and the stove, I pile food onto a plate for Max, and then more onto another plate for myself and sit down across the kitchen table from Max.

Max finishes her food before me and stand's up to get more "Oink oink" I say jokingly, "Joke all you want, but when the zombie apocalypse comes and I'm eating all the food you won't be so happy" she smiles.

"That'll never happen" I say.

"Whatever you say Fangles, all I mean is, you better learn to eat faster because when the world goes to shit there won't be enough food to go around, you'll have to act fast"

The fact that she says this in all seriousness makes it even funnier.

She turns around and glares at me, the usual fire returning to her eyes now that she's awake.

"It's gonna happen Fang, wait and see" she says as if she's giving me a warning.

I smile at her ridiculousness, she really is something.

A/N sorry guys, this is kind of a filler, I didn't really have many ideas for this chapter so it's kind of lame. But I do have an idea of what's going to happen later

in the story so I'm trying to build up to that, anyways, hope you guys enjoyed! 3
