A/N Here ya go! The next chapter, man I am on a roll! I am working on the next one as we speak! :D

Max:

A loud bang echoed from inside the house, I broke away from Jesse and we looked at the house mystified. What in the world...

The back of my neck wasn't tingling like it usually did if there was an Eraser nearby, but my Max instincts were still tingling...sorry for the lame Super Hero reference...

"What the heck was that?" Jesse wondered aloud.

"They are probably just ruff housing inside." I blew it off like it was nothing, though secretly I was freaking out. "I should probably go and make sure they don't break anything..."

"Yeah okay, text me later. I put my number in your phone when you went to the bathroom." He smiled at me. I tried the best to return the smile, trust me I did. But it just turned out looking like a tortured grimace.

"See you tomorrow." I said as I got out of the car and headed up the driveway. He honked the horn as he left. I ran to the door and threw it open, I threw the stuff Jesse got me on the floor, after I noticed how the door was split open, right down the middle. How it managed to stay on the door frame? I have no clue. I felt kind of bad for pushing his stuff aside but there were bigger matters at hand. Like why the heck the door was crushed and why the house was trashed. Oh and where the frick is everyone else at?

"Iggy, let me go!" Each word was punctured as if it was its own sentence. "No way dude. I saw what you just did to Dylan. No way are you doing that to Max." The struggle was evident in Iggy's voice.

"You think I would hurt her?" And disbelief was evident in the one being held back. I followed the sound of these voices to end up in my room. I took in the surroundings. Dylan laid unconscious on my bed, dry blood on his face. Two figures were struggling in the far corner closest to the bed and away from the door. So they didn't notice when I walked in. The two figures struggling came closer to me until they finally ended up facing me.

"Fang?"

Oh shiznit.

DPov (sorry I know I have been using it a lot)

I heard voices...all around me. Mostly male... until her voice...ahhhh Max...

Her sweet voice. I need to get to her. To protect her!

From him...him.

The devil himself.

No matter what happeneds, I will always protect her.

Even if I have to give my life to do it.

Max:

"Max." Despite the current situation he actually looked happy to see me. That feeling isn't going to last long. I kept glancing back a Dylan's unconscious figure still laying on my bed.

"What are you doing?" Fangs features changed almost immediately. The scariest part was when his eyes darkened like it usually did around a foe or enemy. But this time it was directed towards me. Which it never has been before. "Well? You going to answer my question?" I stared defiantly at him.

"I needed to talk to you."

"And?" I was beginning to get impatient.

"I didn't want you going on that date with Jesse."

"Too late for that. Look, stop playing the heartbroken and jealous role. You left me. Remember? I believe I have already given you this speech today." I stared hard into his dark eyes...which was kind of hard considering it was rimmed with a dark purple, pretty distracting.

"I know Max, but if you would listen to me instead of dumping my milk on me..."

"Fine, you have two minutes." Two minutes just seemed more official.

"I love you, I always have and always will. When I saw you talking to Jesse..I new I had to stop you from dating him...Jesse has been my closest friend since I got here. But you have been my best friend for as long as I can remember-"

"What? Hurtful..." Iggy chimed in.

"-anyways" Fang said, shooting a dark look at Iggy, "it took all my strength to not hunt you down in that date and beat the crap out of him. That's why I cane here, to wait for you...and beat the crap out of Dylan." He shot a pointed look at a still knocked out Dylan. "So, can you forgive me Max?"

"I think its better if you left."

"Max-"

"Please Fang?"My voice was pleading. I didn't want to do this.

"Come on-"

"Leave."

"Max, please, come on!" He was all out begging.

"Go!" I pointed to the door and glared him down. "No one wants you here-"

"I do." Angel interrupted my rant. "I love Fang... and I miss him." Her blue little eyes filled with tears.

"Hmmm, well. Maybe you should go with him then." Her little face lit up.

"Really? Oh thank you Max!" She ran and hugged a recently released Fang.

"No! You are not going to live with Fang."

"But you-"

"If you're so smart then how come you don't understand sarcasm? I want you out, now." I gave one last fleeting glance at Fang and left the room.


The next week went by pretty fast, Jesse and I became the new "it" couple and Fang didn't show up to school, and when he finally did? He left us alone. It was now Choir class and we were waiting for Mr. Monroe to show up. These last couple days I have found out that he never shows up on time. Jesse had his arm around me and he was talking to some of his friends when I notice "Art" walk in.

Jesse noticed too.

"Art! Man, it's been a while. Where ya been?" Fang glared at him.

"Where have I been? Diggin' your grave, that's where." Fang glared at Jesse with more hate then I have ever seen him give to anyone, even Sam. Then he saw Jesses arm around me, he growled low within his throat, I think I was the only one that heard him.

"What's with all the hate?"

"Whats with you taking my girl?" Fang shot right back.

"I am not your girl!" I yelled at him. "Why can't you get that through your head?"

"Your just upset, Max."

"Duh! You think you own me? You don't! Jesse is my boyfriend, not you, so I suggest you back off."

"What? Art...you were trying to get with Max, behind my back." Poor naive Jesse...he actually looked genuinally upset. Like he didn't know that me and Fang had this thing going on.

"She was my-"

"Now boys settle down, no warm up today. Project time!" Mr. Monroe walked in and broke the tension, and possible fight, before anything got started. "Who wants to go first?" He asked expectingly.

No one volunteered so when Fang rose is hand we all thought it was a joke...until be actually got up, walked over and told the band what he was going to sing. They cracked up...I thought it was suppose to be about heart break...

Then Fang started to sing...and I understood what was so funny...

"Jesse is a friend,

Yeah,

I know he's been a good friend of mine.

But lately somethings changed,

That ain't hard to define...

Jesse's got himself a girl

And I want to make her mine.

And she's watching him with those eyes,

And she's lovin' him with that body,

I just known it."

I blushed at that comment. Fang saw and he smiled.

"Yeah 'n' he's holding her in his arms late,

late at night,

You know,

I wish that I had Jesses girl,

I wish that I had Jesses girl."

Why does he keep making comments about us having sex?

"Where can I find a women like that?

I play along with the charade,

There doesn't seem to be a reason to change,

You know,

I feel so dirty when they start talking cute,

I wanna tell her that I love her,

But the point it probably moot.

'Cause she's watching him with those eyes,

And she's lovin' him with that body,

I just known it.

Yeah 'n' he's holding her in his arms late, late at night,

You know,

I wish that I had Jesses girl,

I wish that I had Jesses girl.

Where can I find a women,

Where can I find a women like that?

And I'm looking in the mirror all the time,

Wonderin' what she don't see in me,

I've been funny,

I've been cool with the lines,

Ain't that the way love is suppose to be?

Tell me,

Where can I find a women like that?

You know,

I wish that I had Jesses girl,

I wish that I had Jesses girl.

Where can I find a women,

Where can I find a women like that?

Oh, Jesse's girl..."

Fang ended with a smile and climbed up the riser to take his seat. Some people clapped others stayed silent.

I stayed silent.

"Um, wonderful Nick. Anyone else want to volunteer before names are picked?"

I raised my hand.

"Maxine? You don't have to go today but I will expect you the next time a project is due."

"Actually sir, I wanted to ask if I could use the restroom?"

He laughed. "Sure darlin'."

I took my stuff with me and went to the ladies room.

I need to get my priorities straight. I mean here I am, cowering in the ladies room, waiting for the day to be over so I can go home and cower there.

Gee, I'm pathetic.
