Chapter 6: The breakup?
Hi guys! Sorry for not updating these past couples of week. School just started again and there's less and less time to write this stuff. Anyways, thank for reviewing guys. It really means a lot. So.. Here is chapter 6!
Previously...
"Get off me, you freak!" I said as I pushed him back, successfully. I managed to run a couple of steps away from him before being smashed up against the wall again, this time with my hands pinned above my head.
I gave a low dangerous growl, glaring darkly at him; causing him to smirk.
"Can't run away from me yet, Maxie," he said, as he looked intensely into my eyes, his face just inches away from me.
Holding my breath, I studied his face as he looked at my eyes. Hhhmmm, something is missing from his face.. Then it hit. His bruises. As I looked closely, I could see a layer of concealer covering his bruises.
I looked back at him, trying to hold in my laughter, but failing as I saw him raise one eyebrow. I burst out laughing right in his face, then when my stomach started to hurt from laughing so much, I laid my head on his shoulder and continued laughing. Once, I was finished and wiped the tears from my face, I took my head off his shoulder, realizing that I'm not pinned up on the wall no more, but his hands now gripped my waist, making sure I didn't run away.
It took one glance at him to set me off again. And again, I laughed until tears came to my eyes again.
"What's so funny, Ride?" He said in an impatient tone.
And guessed what I did? I laughed again. Then keeping a straight face, I teased him. "Wow. Concealer? Fang plus makeup? Totally worth seeing. Like, really. Who the hell applied it on you. It's like, lighter than your skin tone. Ewh."
Once I was done laughing again, I looked up at him, innocently. Frustrated, he let go of my waist and ran a hand through his hair and covered his face with the other. When he uncovered his face, I could see that his cheeks were slightly pink, causing me to smirk, knowing that I'd embarrassed him.
"Look, Max," He started, "I-"
"Oh, wait!" I interrupted, "Did Maya do it?! If she did, tell her that I said she's the best make up artist ever! Oh, and tell her she could do my makeup next time for an event. Like really, I need lighter skin too!" I said sarcastically, followed by another round of laughter from me.
"Ugh, Max! Shut up and listen to me!" He yelled, angrily.
That automatically shut me up. Angry Fang is no good.
"What, Nicholas?"
"First of all, my name is Fang. FANG. F-A-N-G. Now say it with me. Ff-ang."
"Nick," I said, with a nod of my head
He rolled his eyes and said, "Second of al-"
"Get to the point," I said impatiently.
"Damn it, Max. I will if you'll stop interrupting me!" He yelled. Making Fang mad was actually entertaining.
And as if right on cue, my cell phone started ringing after he said that. Whew, saved by the phone. I took out my phone from my back pocket and smiled smugly as I looked at him then look at my ringing phone. "I'm so sorry, Nick, but I got to take this phone call. It's actually from a real friend that might need me at this moment. So, if you'll excuse me.." I said as I stepped around him and walked to the other side of the alley.
I slide the arrow button to the right and put the phone on my ear. "Hello?"
"Maximum Ride! Where the fuck are you?!" shouted Blaine on the other end.
I chuckled quickly and said "Well, if you haven't noticed, let's see.." I checked the time on my phone, "I walked out of that restaurant 10 minutes ago because of two specific person who killed the fresh atmosphere." I said, looking at Fang.
"Well, I made Iggy take me back to the hotel right after you left, and you certainly ain't here. You should've been here by now. It's like what? Only 5 minutes away."
"Well, if you haven't noticed, Sherlock, I am walking my ass back, so of course it is going to take longer for me, considering the weather out here."
"Whatever. Just get here in 3 minutes. We gotta go pick up your car."
My car? Oh, yeah. My car! Yes! Excited, I said a really quick bye then hung up on him.
I turned to Fang and smirked. "Well, people are expecting me, so… until next time!" I said as I put my right arm across my stomach and bent down. I looked back up at him, seeing him walk quickly towards me. Before he can reach me though, I ran the hell out of that place and waved a goodbye at him. Once I was back on the streets and he isn't anywhere in sight, I started laughing again.
Fang POV: (finally!)
Once Max ran out of the alley, anger rushed through me again. I didn't even cleared things up with her yet. Ugh, why won't she stay? Furious, I kicked a trashcan in the alleyway and made my way into the streets again.
When I got back to Pizza Hut, I noticed that the other people were gone. They probably left with Iggy. I went to the parking lot and turned the engine on my car, warming it up. As I waited for it to warm up, I thought about Max. Stubborn as always. She is so beautiful. Of course, she's always been beautiful, but now, at age 18, her...you know…. parts had really grown out to be the most perfect things ever. Her long dirty blonde hair was now cut in a V behind her back. Her big brown eyes are still big and innocent looking; her high cheekbones really define her face, and those lips. Those full, curvy lips, which I so want to kiss. And boy, any guy would die for that body. Curvy in all the right places, perfect size, lean, tall-
Ring Ring. Ring Ring. Sighing, I answered my cell phone in an angry tone. Whoever is calling better have a damn good reason to be interrupting my thoughts about my dream girl. "What?" I said into the other line.
"Damn, calm down, dude," Iggy said on the other line. "Did Max disappoint you too? I know, I know. With that body, I thought she was gonna rock, but nope. Kind of a disappointment right?" He teased.
"Shut the fuck up," I said, while blushing as pictures of a naked Max pops inside my head. I shook my head and said, "What do you want?"
"Ooooooohhhhh! I caught you! You were totally imagining Max naked right?! Oooohh, you ain't slick, Fangypoo!" He yelled in the other line.
"Shut the hell up," I muttered. "Get to the point."
"Damn, bro. Take a joke. Anyways, Nancy is at yours- oh wait, it's my house also. Anyways, Nancy is at our house, and she says…hhmm, I think she said she needs you here like, right now. So you better get your ass here before you get some nice visits to the gym! Bye, loverboy!"
Rolling my eyes, I drove to my "house". It's not really a house.. but a mansion. I know, I know, a mansion? Really? But it's actually nice. When I moved to New York about two years ago, I moved in with Nancy and her new models and singers, including Iggy, but once I became successful after 4 months, Iggy and I bought a mansion right on the outskirts of New York City.
It was…Huge, wide but it's really beautiful. It has a fountain in the front yard, right in front of the house and has about 3 floors. Instead of those v rooftops, it actually has flat rooftops. On the first floor, there's the big kitchen and living room and all those stuff, oh and there's an inside pool if he go to the East side of the house. Iggy owns the 2nd floor, which I don't know how he decorates it but the whole third floor is mine. Of course it's all dark and stuff on my floor because I love dark colors, but my balcony is better and bigger than Iggy's, which is perfectly fine with me, and I get the roof! In the basement, Iggy and I transformed it into a music soundproof room and a dancing room, split in half and half. At the back, there's a humongous pool and a big hot spa for hangouts and stuff.
25 minutes later, I drove into my driveway and clicked a button to open up the garage. I parked it in the middle of two of my cars, yes, I have three cars, then walked inside to find Nancy, Iggy, and Maya sitting in the living room together.
"What's up?" I said, as I grabbed a bag of chips and plopped down on the recliner.
"Where were you?!" Maya asked.
"Uuh, pizza hut?"
"Of course I knew that."
"Then why did you ask?"
"Ugh, where were you aft-"
"Enough!" Nancy said.
I sent her a thankful look and continued munching on my chips.
When I first came here, Maya introduced me to Nancy, her manager. After hearing me sing, Nancy signed me up with a record deal, which made me big. Than Nancy's group started getting bigger and bigger as more people got more famous. Nancy was all of our manager or you can say the person who signs us up with record deals and fashion shows and photo-shoots and yada yada. I know. At first, I was like, 'But I thought a manager can only be in control of one person', but I guess I was wrong. But, Nancy was more like a mother figure than a manager. She really cares about us as much as she care about her children.
"What's up with the rumors, Fang?" Nancy asked.
I raised an eyebrow at her as I crunch a piece of chips.
"Are you and Max… a thing?"
I burst out laughing at the seriousness of her tone. "What? No."
"Well, I thought you were." She said. "Anyways, the press is really interested in you and your 'mystery girl.' And I thought… you could really get attention and more money if you and Max become a couple. That way, magazines and newspapers will be more about your life, which can really gain you money. But I really think it's a good idea for you and Max, the press is getting tired of you and Maya anyway… no offense to you, Maya," she said the last part as she looked at Maya.
Yes! That means I'm free from Maya. What? Did you think I liked her? Hell no. She's too clingy and I couldn't name any famous guy she haven't slept with yet. The reason we're a "couple" in public is so that it'll make our reputation or whatever you want to call it higher. We will get more attention turned to us, because Nancy LOVES attention.
"Of course that's a good idea, Nancy. Thank you very much." I said, smiling at her. Then I turned to Maya, who has her mouth opened wide, "And I'm so sorry Maya, but we're done. I hope you are as happy about this as I am."
"But, but, we haven't even...we didn't even do it yet!" She yelled. See, I told you. Total whore. That's one reason why Max would be better. Damn, Max. Those lips and beautiful eyes…
"Sorry, but I don't like older girls. I thought you understood that when we started "going out".
She just looked at me and walked to the front door, exiting it than slamming my door shut. Slamming it. She slammed my door. She slammed my expensive glass door.
I looked back at Nancy and Iggy and smirked. Thank god she's gone. We all didn't like her all that much, but we can't kick her out too. Nancy cares about her reputation too much. "Thank you, Nancy. You're the best," I said as I got up and hugged her.
"You're welcome, Fang. I had been trying to find a way of getting you guys apart, cause I know she's too clingy, and with Max coming along, I thought that would be the bait. So, there you go." Then she got up and walked to the door. She opened it but before stepping out, she turned back and said, "Oh, and I'm thinking about getting a record for you and Max. With that voice of hers.. I know how you fell in love now." She winked and walked out the door.
Yah, yah. She knows I like Max. Ever since I moved to New York, all I do is babble and babble and babble about Max, nonstop.
"Dude, yay! You finally did it!" Iggy said as he patted my back.
"Fuck off," I said as I shrugged his hands off and went to the kitchen.
"Anyways, did you clear things up with Max yet?" He said, as he followed me to the kitchen.
I sighed, then said, "I tried, but she kept running away."
"Dude, it's not even that hard to win her over, dumbass." I raised an eyebrow at him. "Just get her alone somewhere, than say whatever you need to say than I don't know.. sing to her or something. She likes music, right?"
"Yeah?"
"Well, yeah." He said in a duh tone. "Oooh, Blaine told me she also does dancing, right?" I nodded. "Well, you could take her dancing somewhere.. like.. oh, I know! We could like.. invite them over someday and you could get Max alone in the basement and sing to her. Oooooh yeeeaah. I'm a fucking genius!" He shouted.
I smirked at him and took out two sandwiches then headed up to my room. God, why haven't I thought of that?
MAX POV:
I got back to the hotel to see Blaine sitting outside of my room.
"Well, well. Look who decided to show up," he said. Then smirked and said, "How was it with Fang? Was he good?" My face reddened as I think about a shirtless Fang. "Ooohh, I bet he was good!"
"Shut up," I muttered as I smacked his head. He laughed and held up both hands and said, "God, okay, okay. I'm sorry. Get ready. We're going in 20 minutes."
"Okay, Daddy," I said as I opened my door for him to enter then entered after him.
I hung my coat on the coat hanger then went to the kitchen. I turned to Blaine and give him my best bambi eyes. (A technique I learned from Angel). He took one glance at me and sigh. "What do you want, Max?"
I smiled brightly at him and said, "Well, I'm hungry… I only got to eat 2 pieces of pizza and you know.. I got a big metabolism…So.."
He sigh again before glaring at him. "You owe me, Ride."
"Whatever, I said as I took out my phone and started texting Nudge."
After 5 minutes, there were 3 sandwiches in front of me. "Thank you, Blaine." I said as I smiled brightly at him.
After we picked up my car, a red Ferrari 458, I know, I know. It's a beau. And it's expensive, but that's the benefit of coming from a rich family.
"Damn, I miss this baby," Blaine said as he sat on the hood of my car.
"Blaine! No! Get up! That's my baby!" I demanded.
"Hmp. Just wait until my car comes next week. I won't let you near my baby either."
"Yeah, yeah."
LINE-LINE-LINE-LINE-LINE-LINE
Friday! Yay! Finally! Just practice then I could rest for the weekend. On Friday, I drove me and Angel in my car (yep, just me and Angel. Everybody else had to find their own rides) to Nancy's mansion where we would practice for the rest of the time now.
As I pulled up into her driveway, I noticed four cars parked in there already. Hhm, more people? Ugh.
"Why are there always people here when it's time for practice? It's like.. so annoying sometimes to see this much people when I'm practicing," Angel said as she looked up from her phone to Nancy's mansion. It was a beautiful mansion, 4 stories, big and wide. Like I said, beautiful.
"True. It does get annoying sometimes.." I said as I parked and took out my phone to text Nudge if they're near yet.
"Max?"
"Hhm?" I said, looking up at Angel.
"Uum… I was just wondering… How are you.. feeling? Like, with..seeing Fang again and stuff? Did he.. apologize yet?"
Noticing her discomfort, I let out a small chuckle and said, "Well, he has tried.. but he's really been an ass these past few days…"
"Are you close to forgiving him yet?"
"Honestly, I don't know.. Sometimes I just want to go up and hug him and say we're best friends again, but sometimes I just want to smack him in the face for leaving me.."
"Well, give it some thinking. I know he's really sorry.."
"Yep.." I said awkwardly.
"Yeah…"
"Anyway," I said, raising my voice to break the awkward tension, "How are things with Blaine? Any progress?"
I looked over at Angel and saw her cheeks turned pink. Yeah, Angel likes Blaine. And Blaine likes Angel. But none of them would grow some balls and talk to each other. It gets really annoying sometimes.
"Uum, well…he asked me if I wanted to go ice skating with him the other day…"
"And you said..?"
"Uum..I said..yeeah.." Angel said, uncomfortably.
"Cool. It's good to know that Blaine finally grew some balls and asked you. Cause if he hadn't sooner, I was about to kill him and burn his corpse then dump the remains in a river."
Angel laughed at this and looked out the window. "Well, they're here. Let's go, Maxie!" She said as she opened my car door.
I smiled and shook my head. Nobody calls me Maxie.
As we headed inside, I noticed that there were four other people in there; Fang, Maya, Iggy, and what's his name.. David? Daniel? Anyways, They were sitting in the living room together, that David guy and Maya flirting. Eew, didn't Maya and Fang just broke up? Whore.
"Hi guys!" Nancy said as we walked in, which was replied with multiple hey's and hi's.
"Well, everybody grab a snack and head into the stage room. We need to pick out who's doing the solos and what songs we're doing for groups."
"Why are they always here?" Gazzy said from behind me.
"Well, they're here so that they can help me make decisions about this because they're the four top singers I have, so basically; they're my assistants. And hopefully you guys won't have any problems with them being here right?" She finished, looking at me.
"Of course we do," I muttered under my breathe but everybody said nope. Bastards.
I scowled and glanced at Fang, who was looking at me with a smug smile on his face. I raised an eyebrow in his direction, which caused him to wink back at me. I rolled my eyes and looked away, perv.
Anyways, after some arguments and problems, we finally decided that on the first competition which will be in March; me, Angel, and Blaine will do the solos and we'll do three group songs as a whole.
Just to catch you up, there will only be six competitions. The first one, in March will be one state VS. another state, so at the end, there will only be 25 teams left. Then the second one will be in May, where the judges get to select the best 10 teams. Then the third one is in June, where you get to compete with another team, so that'll end with 5 teams. In early July, we'll compete and the judges will pick the best three and finally, there will be a competition for the winner at the end of July.
Anyways, now it is 6:20 and we were just sitting around in Nancy's living room waiting for the pizzas to come.
"Ahem, ahem," Iggy said, catching everyone's attention. "Well, now that I got your attention, I would like to say something," he said in a very formal and serious voice.
"What, Iggy?" Nudge said, annoyed, looking up from her phone.
"Well, I was thinking you all could come over to my house tomorrow and we can you know.. hangout?" Then he turned to Maya and Dylan (Yep, I figured out his name during practice time) and said, "Excluding you two."
"Yeah!" Everybody shouted. And of course, I said yes also. What? You thought I was gonna miss a chance at seeing Iggy's house? Of course not.
Iggy looked at Fang and they both shared a secret smile? Hhmm.. I looked at Iggy and raised an eyebrow. He shrugged and continued talking to Nudge. I then looked across from me at Fang and raised my eyebrow again. And like Iggy, he just shrugged but held up one crooked finger, mentioning for me to go over. Psh, like I would. I rolled my eyes and was gonna talk to Blaine when the doorbell rang.
"I got it!" I yelled, standing up.
I opened the door and saw the pizza guy holding four boxes of pizza. "Hi. Delivery for Nanc- Woah," he said as he looked at me.
"Uuh, hi?" I said, confused.
"Hhhm, hey. I've never seen you around here before... What's your name?"
Hhm, flirt, huh? Well, two can play this game. It's not like I'll ever meet him again.
I pushed my hair back behind my ears and and moved closer to him. "Hi, I'm Max. You?"
He smiled and said, "My name is Joseph. Anyways.. are you single?" He said, leaning closer to me and pushing back a piece of hair out of my face.
I had to admit, this guy is cute. He was probably 3 inches taller than me, long brown hair that was spiked up and those eyes.. those dark piercing green eyes.
"Yep," I replied. "Single and ready to mingle," I finished with a wink. That lead him to chuckling. And daammnn. His chuckle is sexy!
"Anyways," he said, while moving his hand from my face and sliding it down my arm to hold my hand, "Can I get your number, beautiful?"
"Hhmm, su-" I started, only to be interrupted by a certain dark head.
"What's taking so long? I'm starving in there," Fang said as he wrapped an arm around my waist. I tried shrugging him off but he just held onto me tighter.
Joseph looked from me to Fang then back to me and back to Fang. I looked at Fang and noticed he was glaring at Joseph. He instantly let go of my hand and looked at me confused. Ugh. Way to ruin the fun, Fang. "I-I thought you were single?" He asked.
"Well, Ye-"
"Excuse me, but she obviously isn't," Fang said as he sent another glare at him and wrapped his arm tighter around me.
"Ugh. I. Can. Not. Breathe. You. Stupid. Idiot." I managed to say. He loosened his arms around me but still kept it there and went back to glaring at Joseph.
"Well.. okay. Sorry, man." He said, Handing the pizza boxes to Fang then turned around to leave.
Fang closed the door shut and looked at me. "What the hell were you thinking, Max? Why were you flirting with him?"
"First of all, I can do whatever I want to. You are not part of my life no more. Second of all, you can let go of me now," I said as I used both my hands to pry his arm off me.
"Nope, I like having you wrapped around my am," he said, turning us around so we can walk to the others. I scowled and stomped on his foot, causing him to let go of me.
"Nobody touches me without my permission," I said as I walked away from him. I smiled in satisfaction when I heard him sigh in frustration.
"Finally! That took forever!" Iggy said as we got in the living room.
"Well, Miss Ride over here was having a good talk with the delivery guy, so me, being me had to stop them," Fang said as he sat the pizza down on the table.
"Hey, I was just gonna get his number before you came. He was actually cute, you know?"
That caused everybody to laugh and "awh" me.
"Well, me and the girls actually have a date to go on..so.. Bye guys!" I said after we finished with the pizza. I stood up and stretched my arms than put on my coat. It is freezing out there.
"Remember my house tomorrow," Iggy yelled after us. "I'll text you the address!"
Well? What do you think? I know. Pretty weak. But, I tried.
Question: What's your favorite song?
Remember: Review! :)
