Hi guys! Hope you like my return after a couple of weeks. So here's chapter 11. Did you notice that the chapters have names now? I decided it would be cool.
Max/Ferris POV
I woke up to find a tall, dark figure standing in the corner of the room. I get up and check the clock, around midnight.
"You're awake," the figure said. It came out from the shadow and into the light of the moon that was shining through the window beside me. It was Fang.
"Yeah. How long were you standing there?" I asked sort of freaked.
"An hour couldn't sleep," he said coming closer. He walked like a shadow in the darkness; I decided to turn on the light. The sudden brightness made my eyes squint, when I got used to the light I saw Fang's figure in front of me, looking at me with his dark, beautiful eyes.
"How about you?" he asked. I had become mesmerized by his eyes I didn't realize he had spoken until he waved his hand in front of my face.
"Sorry zoned out," I said, blushing.
"Clearly, so how are you?" he asked.
"Freaked, confused, hurt," I said. He came and sat on the bed next to me.
"I can understand that," he said. I felt tears rim my eyes but I swallowed them down.
"I feel like I'm not even me, like I'm an imposter. First I'm Ferris; my 'parents' dead daughter and then these random people tell me I'm Max; their badass leader," I said. Now tears are streaming down my cheek, Fang wipes them away. He carefully puts his arm around me, comforting me. I felt like I should move away but I stayed in the comfort and warmth of his company.
"You're not an imposter, you're you," he said. Then I started to cry into his shoulder while he rubbed the small of my back.
"It's going to work out, I promise" he said and smiled at the sincerity in his voice.
"Thanks Fang," I said and he nodded slightly, got up and walked out of the room, leaving his warmth and his scent lingering on the bed. I lied down but stayed awake thinking about my next move in my new life.
"Good morning!" Nudge yelled. I woke up suddenly and looked at the clock ten o'clock! Wow I slept a lot, well it is Saturday. I slowly got up and realized I still had on the clothes from yesterday.
"Hi Nudge, can I borrow some clothes?" I asked. She smiled big which scared me.
"Oh…wait what do you want us to call you? Ferris? Max? What about Fax? Oh wait that's-" Nudge stopped mid sentence. What's Fax?
"Max I guess, I mean that's who I am right?" I asked still confused about Fax.
"Okay! Max you must have forgot that we are going to the mall to give you a Max makeover so you can become Max inside and out," Nudge said as Angel came walked in. She was wearing a teal long sleeve shirt and jeans with silver flats; her hair was down like golden ringlets; sort of like a halo. Nudge was wearing an old fashion navy army vest with a light blue t-shirt and ripped jeans with black flats, her hair was straight and in a pony tail. (There's a link to the outfits on my profile)
"We are? But I have nothing to where," I said.
"Don't worry we took some of the clothes you had in your backpack the day you fell. Hope they still fit," I shrugged and said okay. What's the worst that could happen? (Max's outfit is also on my profile)
"What did you do to my hair?" I yelled at the salon. The poor lady had a sadden look on her face, Nudge and Angel cringed. My hair was dyed a dull brown with blonde highlights. It was short and wavy, just like before I lost my memory, except the pink highlights.
"But Max that's what it looked like before," Angel said. I looked back in the mirror, I can't believe it. The lady came back over. She started talking in a really strong Jersey accent, like the ones you hear on those shows.
"But this is the picture I was told to work from," she said and handed me the picture. It was the Flock posed on a beach. Angel and Gazzy were in the front hugging Total in the middle, Nudge making a duck face like people do on Facebook (You know what face I'm talking about), Iggy was on Max's left smiling and trying to look into the camera as much as a blind person can, and Fang was on Max's right not smiling but looking content; with his arms crossed. Max was in the middle smiling with one hand on her hip. The Flock looked happy and serene like it was the happiest day of their lives, I smiled just thinking that I felt that happy and loved once.
"It's great, I have to get used to it that's all. Thanks, how much does it come to?" I asked and Nudge and Angel gave me a hug.
Goodbye Ferris.
