Chapter 7:
Fang P.O.V
"I'm going after her", I announced finally breaking the silence after what seemed like days.
"No! Fang weren't you listening? The School will come after us again; we will be on the run like we were before. We cannot risk it, Max is strong she has survived this much, she will make it back," Gazzy stated while simultaneously placing himself between the door and me; Iggy followed suit.
"I refuse to stand here while the women I love is once again out there alone risking her life for us!" My blood was boiling, how could they so blindly follow the orders of Max when she wasn't even here to give them?
"Fang you can't go, you have a responsibility here." I was about to turn around and tell Nudge that Max is my responsibility and that the three of them could handle themselves for a little while, when I realized who she was speaking about… and turned my gaze onto mini Max. Looking at this kids face almost broke me down right there; she was an exact copy of Max. The Max I loved. The Max I lost. The Max who might die trying once again to save one of us.
All the pent up anger and frustration unleashed itself within in me and by reflex I turned around and got lost in the sound of splintering wood and the feeling of blood trickling down my knuckles. I groaned placing my hands on the wall before sliding down it, sitting on the floor. I felt cool hands on my arm and went to shrug them off before realizing it was Nicky, my, our daughter. I gulped at the thought. I was eighteen, I couldn't be a parent, this kid deserved way better than what I could offer her.
"It's okay, mummy thinks the same thing everyday," she said in a small voice giving me a reassuring smile before sliding her hands down to my knuckles. Before I could warn her a tingling sensation was running through my hands as I watched, wide eyed, as my skin knit itself back together and the dried blood dissipated, vanished before my eyes. She had healed me.
"Mummy had told me two things before she left. One was that I could always trust you guys, cause you were the ones who got her through these past four years and every other day before that." I held back tears, motioning for her to continue,
"And the second was… that you forgot how to live without her because you never knew how, and she is so sorry that she broke you. But, she said that I would be able to heal you." And with that she offered a toothy grin, plopped herself in my lap and placed her head on my chest, just like her mum used to do…
"Oh Max what have you gotten me into?"
Hope you liked it, two chapters in one day, wooohooo. But seriously now, I will not be updating until I get AT LEAST 10 new reviews, 20 would be preferable but baby steps, don't worry ;) have a good one.
