A/N: Sorry for the long wait!
I realize the clue was misinterpreted by lots of you what I meant to say was that: Max is a girl with normal parents. With that in mind here's a new chapter!
Max POV
I woke up after one of the best nights I'd had in a long time. I felt warmth enveloping all of me and noticed Fang had moved a lot during the night. He was covering most of my body with his as if protecting me. I turned around and saw that he was still asleep and his hair was tussled. He looked so attractive yet totally oblivious about it as he slept. I reached my hand up and gently ran it through his hair reveling in its silky feel. My hand wandered to his face and I traced his cheekbones and jaw. He sighed and sleepily opened his eyes to look at me. I smiled and I saw his eyes light up.
"Morning, how'd you sleep?" He said rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"Umm better than I have for the past say four five years, give or take." I said and he smiled.
"Would I happen to be responsible for such a thing?" He asked feigning innocence.
"I'd have to find you guilty." I said and laughed. Out of the blue he pounced on top of me with a slight smirk on his face.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"You seem to be asking that question a lot lately huh?" He said and his smirk grew. I felt myself blush.
"Just so you know, you blushing makes you all the more alluring to me." He said in that same seductive voice he'd used the night before. He lowered his face closer to mine and my breathing grew shallow. He didn't kiss me like I expected, instead he rubbed his cheek against mine and then nuzzled my neck.
"Fang come on, everyone's probably-." I got cut off by the loud opening of the door. Fang immediately left my neck but it still left us with the matter that he was straddling me and my mother was at the door looking like she was about to blow a gasket.
"Umm mom, hi…" I said and pushed Fang off.
"What do you two think you're doing? I allowed you both to sleep in here thinking that you two would have better judgment and not start going at it." I looked at her shell-shocked.
She had insinuated that I and Fang had been…oh my goodness.
"Mom we weren't doing anything like that!" She took a deep breath.
"I came to tell you breakfast was ready, so just get up already ok?" She said much calmer now. I nodded and she left closing the door behind her.
"You're mom is such a schizophrenic." Fang whispered next to me.
"Fang!" I reprimanded him but couldn't help but laugh a bit. I got up, stretched and yelped when I stretched too far and hurt myself.
"What'd you do?" Fang walked around the bed and came over to me.
"I think I just stretched too far." I said and grinned. He shook his head.
"I swear." He whispered and then laughed.
"Come on, let's go get breakfast." I said huffing and pushing him towards the door. I walked into the kitchen and my mom and Jeb looked at me and Fang. Mom's eyes lingered on me and she seemed to be looking at something. She looked over at Jeb and she looked at him lost.
"Max, Fang we need to talk with you two alone." The flock's eyes turned to Fang and me. I nodded and followed them as they headed back to mom's room. They stood aside as Fang and I walked in and closed the door behind them.
"Max did something happen last night?" My mom asked me. I felt my heart rate speed up, did they know something…had they heard something.
"Umm…uh…what?" I asked.
"Don't act dumb, your mother insists that we give you a chance to be honest but I'm not all for that idea, so I'm going to give you one more chance to come clean." Jeb said.
"Tell. Us. What. Went. On. Between. You. Two. Now." He said in a menacing tone that reminded me all too much of the school and being ordered around by him. I looked to Fang but he seemed angry and so he was of no use for help at that moment.
"N-Nothing." I said hoping that they had no proof.
"You're lying." Jeb said and I looked anywhere but him. My eyes landed on mom and she was looking at me a bit disappointed. Jeb approached me and I backed away. He reached a hand towards my neck but before he could even get so much as a foot near me Fang put himself between Jeb's hand and I.
"Don't you dare lay a hand on her." He growled menacingly.
"It seems I was little late to warn you about doing that, right?" Fang was stunned for a moment and Jeb took this chance to push him out of the way.
"If nothing happened last night, how do you explain this?" He said tilting my head upwards exposing my neck.
"What are you-?" He guided me to the mirror, his hand still on my neck. I lifted my hands to unclench his hands from my neck but stopped when I saw the mirror. There on my neck were two marks. I gasped and pulled his hands away from me. I looked towards my mom who looked like she wasn't sure what to tell me. She looked torn between anger and disappointment. Jeb on the other hand had no problem expressing his anger; I could see it etched in the way his face was contorted.
"You, you self-loathing, selfish, depressive, boy I want you to keep your filthy hands off of my daughter!" He yelled towards Fang. I felt tears prick at the edges of my eyes and my chest hurt from taking too deep breathes.
"You're the one responsible for all our problems!" Fang retaliated and he slammed Jeb against the wall, lifting him by the color of his shirt. I shook my head covering my ears to the keep out the yelling and started sobbing. I closed my eyes tightly not wanting to see them fighting. I started to remember all those times Fang and Jeb had hung out together before he had left us and how much time Jeb had taken teaching Fang how to fly along with all of us. Why did things have to change so much? I, we, were happy before Jeb had betrayed us. I opened my eyes again and I saw blood on both Fang and Jeb's faces. Fang got Jeb down on the ground and punched him repeatedly.
"Fang no!" I stood unsteadily and walked up beside Fang. He was crying, Fang was crying. Still he kept hitting Jeb almost as if in a trance.
"Fang please calm down, stop." I said tugging on his arms. He stopped and turned to look at me. His face was tear stained and he looked so innocent.
"Fang…" I passed out right then and felt myself fall into Fang's arms and rested my head on his chest.
