A/N: I am currently seeking a Beta Reader. I have asked a couple people, but if you are willing to be my B.R I would greatly appreciate it, and I will look into you! : )

Chapter 5

Max! POV

"A date? You have a date with someone on your first day at school? And you don't even know him!" Dylan stared angrily at me.

I just laughed.

"Frankly Dylan, it's none of your dang business." I flipped my hair and turned away from him looking in the closest at the newly acquired clothes Nudge just had to buy me! My mom mails us money every month out of the trust fund that the government set up.

"Nudge!" She walked in saw me standing in a towel, hair soaking wet, she knew her help was needed.

"Dylan I need you to leave. Now." She glared at him as he slowly started to back out the room. He watched her like you would watch a mad dog as you slowly back out to get away from them and then take off running. Nudge slammed the door as Dylan retreated out of the room.

So I let Nudge get to it. She fixed my make-up, curled my long black hair and found me a smoking hot outfit in under an hour. And get this, I didn't even complain.

"Wow, Max. You haven't complained this whole time. What's up with that?" I just shrugged and cringed when I tried walking in the heels she had picked out.

"Hey Nudge? Just for safety purposes, could I wear those converse instead? I mean, they go with the outfit." She sighed.

"Well, since you haven't complained at all…why not?" I did a little dance in my head and grabbed the converse from the closest.

As soon as I put them on the doorbell rang.

"Nudge! Go get that before someone else does!" I cant believe its already eight.

I walked, I mean I didn't want to mess up my hair, to the door. I saw Dylan giving Jesse a hard look. Jesse was holding red roses and a teddy bear.

"Uh, hello…Dylan?" Jesse gave him a weird look, "What are you doing at um, Maxine's house?"

I answered before Dylan could ruin everything with his big mouth.

"Dylan…um is our next door neighbor….he lives with us at the moment." I looked at Dylan.

"Oh, is Jeff your cousin too?" I stared at Jesse….oh!

"No, Iggy is my…brother. Twin brother." I felt like smacking myself.

"Iggy? I thought his name was Jeff?" Jesse stared at me like he was confused. Hell! I'm confused…

"It is, we-that's just his nickname." Jesse went on with the questioning.

"What about the little ones?" I sighed.

"Monique, is my adopted sister." No more word slip ups for Max! "Zephyr and Ariel are Dylan's brother and sister." I glared at Jesse willing him to not believe the bull-crap that I was feeding him.

"Okay, we should head out." Jesse smiled at me. "You look amazing by the way." He nodded towards my black skinny jeans, with the knee-high purple converse that matched my off the shoulder purple blouse.

I took in how is brown hair was spiked to perfection. How his blue shirt matched his blue eyes. And how he also wore converse. But not the original version, the athletic tennis-shoe ones. His jeans matched mine.

He took my hand and placed the red roses and teddy bear in the other.

"Do you want to leave these here?" I looked at my 'family'.

"Um, I think they'll be safer with me." Jesse chuckled and led me out to his car. Which…was hot. It was a black Mercedes-Benz…

I gaped at it, Jesse took this as an opportunity to open my car door.

I slid inside the black interior and noticed how warm my butt was. Heated seats? Wow. Jesse noticed my facial features and chuckled again. "I liked the whole heated seat thing too."

I nodded my head. "What do you have planned?"

"I thought we could see a movie, and then dinner afterwards." He said as he started up the car.

"Um, wait! I need to go grab my wallet." I put my hand on the door handle to open it. He grabbed my other one and chuckled.

"I'm paying darlin'. Don't worry about it." I looked at him in horror.

"I eat like a truck-driving man. Trust me, you don't want to have to pay for that." He laughed at me, again.

"It's fine."

"No it's not! I'm going to bankrupt you!" He shook his head.

"How much can a little girl like you eat?"

Well, I guess he'll see.

DYLAN POV!

Yeah, so I'm royally pissed at Max. Whatever. It's not like she cares anyways.

A date. The first day of school. Impossible.

Well…it is Max.

Thoughts of Max still invaded my mind, until I heard a crash and a frantic Nudge ran into my room.

"Dylan! He's here! He's here!"

I have no clue who it was.

But I was already poised for a fight.

MPOV

We pulled up into the movies and Jesse came around to open the door for me. He held his hand out for me and I took it. I mean why the heck not?

We walked up to the ticked booster and Jess turned to me. "What do you want to see?"

I thought about it for a second.

"What's playing that's scary?" Jesse looked at me, and smile. That's when I knew I said something right.

"Two adult tickets to see the Orphan." The guy was starring at me as got the tickets out. He handed me the receipt. I was about to hand it to Jesse when I saw writing on the back of it.

I know your secret,

Maximum

XOXO

1-502-827-3642

Call me, birdie

I pushed the receipt way down in my jean pocket and followed Jesse over to the food counter.

"What do you want?" My nerves were shot all to hell and back. When I get nervous, I eat…everything.

"Lets see, a medium popcorn, extra, extra butter. A large Pepsi. Some Gummy Worms…and Snowcaps." I have salty, chewy, sugary and chocolaty. I'm good.

Jesse stared at me. The cashier stared at me. Heck, I would stare at me.

"You heard the little lady! Food. Go!" Jesse yelled at the cashier. "I guess you weren't kidding when you said you ate a lot." He chuckled. "You are something else."

I giggled.

Ewwwww, I giggled!

Ugh, I actually giggle!

The guy came back with our stuff. I mean my stuff.

"Anything for you sir?" Jesse looked at the pile of stuff in our arms.

"I think I'll just share with her." I smiled at him. We paid and then headed towards the movies theatre.

DOV

"What are you doing here?" I asked as I threw another punch at his face.

He blocked it of course.

"I need to see her." He mimicked me by throwing one back at me. It almost hit its target.

"Over my dead body."

He looked at me darkly.

"That can be arranged." That's when his foot collided and everything went dark.

MPOV

We entered Theatre 11 and took the seats in the middle of the middle. He wanted to sit in the very back, with the couple seating but I disagreed. Naughty things happen back there and I'm not dealing with that!

I had went to movies with Jeb and the kids when we were younger so I kinda knew how these things worked. Which is a good thing right?

Jesse put his arm around me and we sat and watched the creepiest thing I have ever seen! She's not even an actual girl! She's like forty something.

Jesse apparently thought I was getting cold because I was shivering from the grossness of her age. He took off his jacket I hadn't known he was wearing and draped it over my shoulders.

It was kind of sweet.

I had finished all of the treats we had got about half way through the movie and my stomach was still grumbling. Jesse heard it and chuckled at me.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom." He nodded his head, I threw everything away and headed to the bathroom. I needed to clear my head.

DPOV

Everything was foggy as I came to. The dark ominous figure was standing over me. I kicked him in the chest as he flew back and hit the door, splintering it into several pieces.

"Aww, look at poor Dylan. Trying to defend something he will never have." He let out a dark chuckle.

"She's more mine then yours. And you know it. I've never hurt her, and I never will. Don't you wish you could say the same?" He let out a dark growl deep inside his throat.

"You don't know her. Not like me." Something within his eyes said I was coming upon a dangerous subject.

"You don't know her anymore."

Was the last thing I said as he was released from the pile of splintered wood and ran into me with the force to knock anyone's breath out.

MPOV

The cold water felt good on my face. I've been gone for a good twenty minuets, I wonder if he noticed.

I left the ladies room and on my way back I ran into Jesse.

"You okay?" He gave me a look that only one person has ever given me. It sent chills through my spine.

"Um, yeah. Hey, do you just want to go ahead and head to dinner?" He smiled down at me.

"I thought you would never ask."

We pulled into a diner a little bit later. The name was just 'Diner' even from the outside you could tell that it was old and 80's theme.

"This diner has been in my family for years." He said as he opened my door. This time instead of giving a protesting glance I took his hand and he held it as we walked in.

The diner was small and quaint. It had pink wallpaper and posters from musical artists in the past. Like Elvis. The floor was black and white checker and the booths were the 80's red you always see in the movies.

I looked at him. "I love this! Its so…cute." The only word I could come up with. Never thought I would be using it. Especially not around Jesse.

"Now you know why I wasn't worried about spending that much?" I can see why now, the place was packed . So I'm guessing the income was pretty grand. Not to mention we didn't have to pay for the dinner.

I nodded my head as he led me over to a booth.

"Now don't worry, I didn't tell my parents I was bringing a pretty young girl here. Because if I did? Oh, trust me they would be all over you." I laughed nervously.

We ate dinner and lets just say…it was amazing! The tastes were all blended to perfection. And trust me, I tasted a lot.

"I don't understand," Jesse looked at me bewildered, "where does it all go?" Incredulous was evident in his voice.

I just laughed and pretended to rub my stomach. "I told you! Bottomless pit." Jesse chuckled and grabbed my hand as we headed to his car.

We talked on the short drive to my house. Mostly about his mom, and my huge family. It was good, to talk to someone normal.

He parked on the street by my house and cut the engine and he turned to look at me.

"Well Max, I had a great time tonight." I smiled up at him.

"I did too. It's the best date I have ever been on." Jesses eyes beamed.

Okay so maybe Its only like the second date I've been on, but it was way better than the one with Sam.

Jesse started leaning closer, and closer and…

DPOV

Each punch was like a thousand sharp pins to my chest.

Crunch!

Yep, there goes my rib.

I wondered why no one was helping me. Why my so called "family" wasn't helping me.

And then I got it.

Its because they were in shock.

Blood trickled out of my nose and landed on the floor beside me. He just seemed to get angrier as he saw the blood pour from my face.

"Have you had enough?" The sinister chuckle the only thing I could hear.

MPOV

His lips connected with me.

And it felt…

Felt…

Good.

Not like Fangs, but his always felt amazing.

Not like Sam's, his was sticky and…well gross.

But…good.

His tongue licked my bottom lip, asking for permission to enter.

Well, permission granted.

I broke away so I could breath. Jesse smirked at me, as butterflies ripped apart my insides.

"Have you had enough?" I shook my head as our lips re-connected.

A/N Welp, I knew it took longer then expected annnnd I'm sorry I have marching band and other stories going on. So, yeah. But trust me, I'll work on it! Thanks

REVIEW! : )
