Okay, I'm really excited about this, for two different reasons:
1) I'm writing FAX! I realized I was tooo focused on writing about Krissy and her love life that I didn't write somethings you readers wanted to read, FAX! I know some people will say it's okay, but I know some other people are screaming at me for not writing Fax, and in all actuality, I think I suck, for I've never really written mushy, love stuff, but I do love reading it, so please, for this chapter, tell me what I didn't do good with the Fax, please!
2) I GET TO PUT IN MY FAVORITE SONGS! Well, for last minute readers, hurry and go to my profile after reading this, and vote in my poll. I have almost everything planned out for the next few chapters, but I still would like you guys inputs!
Okay, onward with FAX!

Chapter Eighteen: Finally
Max's POV
After I left Tom's room to give Krissy and him there own privacy, for talking, ha ha, that sounded really weird, but that, okay don't blame me for such of a sick mind, blame Iggy, he's the one who made me think this way. Anyways, how about I say something not sooo weird?
Well, I left the house to go for a walk. A lot has been going on so far, but then when I think about it, it all comes down to Krissy amd her life, yet this already makes everyone feel uncomfortable. Lissa and Brigid, Krissy and Kyle, now Tom and Krissy, that I don't even wanna think about it, I hope nothing happens between them, then the one thing about me, Fang and me. Well, things have loosened up, but then I don't understand my feelings. Sometimes I feel myself yearning for Fang in a way I don't think I shold be having, right? I mean, Fang is my best friend. However, once Krissy told me something that totally messed up my feelings. She said, "Even best friends can fall for each other, and sometimes it's better."
Krissy's words keep coming back to me, and now I keep questioning myself, do I like Fang more thn just a friend? Sometimes just thinking about that question makes my head hurt, and explode. Well, not literallt, but thinking that makes me go crazy, so sometimes I just try to ignore it, but I know I'll have to face it sometime, that is if Fang shares the bond with me. URGHH, this is soo annoying. I can't understand my feelings.
By now, I had already left the dorms, and walking the "forest" part of the school. I really like this place, it makes me feel very secure and safe. I started pacing around, wandering between the trees, and soon enough, I crashed right into one. Ow, that really hurt. Guess I should have looked up from the ground instead of just walk around with my head lowered. I rubbed my head with my hand, but as I did so, I felt something against my hand. At that point, I had to look up, and I saw a rope. I looked up trailing the rope, to see the rope led to a tree house.
Wow, I don't every remember every seeing that here. Well, when I think about it, I never really wandered the forest very carefully, so I wouldn't really have seen it. With that thought, I started climping up the tree with the rope. When I got up and settled into the tree house, it looked like someone had just recently been in here. I looked around the tree house, there was a small window at the side, with, from what I observed, a newly put up small "curtain". On another side of the tree house was a picture, but it wasn't any normal picture, it was actually a painting, most importantly, of me and my family. Who could've painted this? It was really good, but I couldn't really guess who drew it.
I continued looking around the rather large tree house. I noticed this tree house wasn't really deserted, since there was no dust anywhere. Hmmm, seems to me someone has been here rather frequently, but who? Oh well, as I continued to look around, I realized I missed something pretty bad, and guitar right on the ground. Funny how I didn't see it at first. The guitar, it looked like Fang's but it couldn't be his right? I mean I don't rememb- Wait, where was Fang right before I left? I don't know. Hmm, I must be out of it. I normally remember where everyone is, how is it I didn't know where Fang was.
Then, does it mean all this stuff, Fang did it? Wow, I didn't think he'd be able to do all this. I mean, it's just wow, for someone to make such a tree house look soo, clean and nice. I know I would never, and will never be able to have that patience to do this. I reached down towards the guitar, when I noticed a sheet of paper stuck flat right under the guitar. At first it looked like lyrics to a song, with scribbles and scratches everywhere, but a part of me knew what I'd find, and I knew they weren't lyrics, it was a letter. Still, I picked up the paper from underneath, and began to read, reading over the scribbles and scratches along the way. I gasped at the name he was writing this to.
To My best friend(well not really), Max: if you ever read this
I don't know how to put this, cause I normally don't really talk much, well actually only around you do I seem to open up, but that's only a little bit as well. To tell you the truth, I, well, actually, i still don't know how to put this. I mean, you act like you care for me as only a brother, but i can't seem to figure out what I'm feeling. Is it something more? I keep wondering to myself. Sometimes I get too excited when a think of you, and I know I probably shouldn't be thinking about that, cuz you probably would tease me about it sometime in the future. Well, let's put it this way, I think I have more than just a friendship type of feeling towards you, yet I can't pluck up the courage to ask you, fearing you'd laugh at me. Ha, wow, you always looked up to me, seeing how I always protected my siblings, family, and of course friends, including you when you didn't even want me to, but I still did. However, I'm not all that strong, i may seem that way, but I sure as *(you know what word he'd use)* ain't that strong.
I could not believe it. Fang, spilling his thoughts out all at once. i would never laugh at Fang. he really needs to pluck up the courage to just ask me, but then again, if by the date, I'd probably would have laughed at him, seeing I didn't have mixed feelings for him as well right now. God, I can't believe there was a part of Fang I never have even seen. In fact, no one has even seen, only himself, obviously. God, i gues I should just continue on.
Well, if you've read to here, not saying you'll ever lay your hands on this, but if you do, well I guess you're willing to listen to me. might as well get this over with. I'm not going to be all romantic or sappy like some girls like, for I'll either 1) burst out laughing writing this or 2) tear this up angry or even 3) tear it up for I'm to sad because I wrote something soo "Romeo and Juliet"like. I know, you're probably wondering "Romeo and Juliet, you've got to be kidding me. Well the thing is, I'm not. My life right now, I really think sucks balls. I have... well let's just call this "feelings" and I'm too wimpy to say it to your face. I think I may just give this letter to you, if I ever finish it. Okay, *takes deep breath*, let's see if I can make this not sappy 'kay? Well, here goes, I've been your friend practically since we were born. When you moved, my family moved, and vice versa. Sometimes I thought that maybe our parents had some "history" they were hiding from us, but truthfully, I asked, and my parents were like, "Fang, you have got to be kidding me right? Why would we have something hidden from you? We just thought when both our families moved to the place area, you wouldn't stay alone and isolated at the new school." Ha ha, I was like, "OH really, you'd do that for us?", but I never said that, of course.
Ha *laughs* Now that made me laugh. Fang is still his normal self I hope. I mean, he'd be the only one to even think of something like that. Silly Fang, but that's what I lo... Hold on max, that's what I LIKE about him, I did not mean anything else. Okay, these feelings I'm having are so darn annoying. As i continued to read, little did I know, I'd get even more mixed up.
Let's just get down to the real part. I've been your friend for too long, and I don't know about you, but I have "feelings" toward you, whether or not you like it. And i'm saying this first, I actually don't really care now if you tease me later on, because you'll either 1) regret not saying yes to me or 2) you'll say yes. One or the other, I assume unless you're 3) totally indifferent or 4) you ignore it like nothing happened. If you choose 4, I think I may as well cry in front of everyone wouldn't even be as embarassing than being rejected by you. Since, being rejected once is just once, and the pain will go away sooner or later, but your ignoring me we haunt me everyday, causing me not able to speak to even you. However, I'm getting sidetracked.
I couldn't take it anymore. Fang's words, they made my heart swell up with aches. why does this hurt soo much. do I share the same feelings, or, or, well there is no or. I'm soo confused. why couldn't love just be more obvious. There, I said it, Love. I think I'm falling in love with Fang, when I swore I wouldn't. Ha, I really shouldn't make promises i later regret. I didn't want to continue reading the whole letter front and back, so I just went to the last paragraph, and finished reading what he wanted to say, but I guess I didn't know that that decision was a major turning point of my life, that I'll never regret in the future.
Well, I've spent the past few days avoiding this, and I really guess I should get this over with, even though I'm pretty sure this is going to sound cheesy, I might as well just say it, cause you probably won't every be reading this, but if you do, then I've got the courage and confidence you'll say yes. Ha, *sigh*, I really am shy. Well, here goes. Max, I have more than just feelings to being your friend, more like a lifetime mate. I know that sounds weird, but hey, i don't know how else to say it. Do you want "soulmate" instead? Well, I was thinking that, but "what is a soulmate?" I kept asking myself that question over and over again, and I think I've got a definition. A soulmate is someone who doesn't need to ask you what's wrong, they'll just know. A soulmate is someone who'll support you at all costs. A soulmate is someone who understands and likes you the way you are. Most importantly, a soulmate is your lifetime lover, your best friend, family. That's my definition, and you fit each and every one of them. That's what i love about you. There, i said it, how about I say it again, "I LOVE YOU MAX", more than you can think. I've loved everything about you, ever since I was little, I don't even remember when I started loving you. Love, *laughs* that's another word that's hard to describe. There are so many types of love. Family love, sibling love, friendship love, animal love, and love love. It's hard to describe, but I know one thing, if love never existed, I'd die of misery, for I wouldn't have these feelings that I feel toward you, and I know this love isn't a friend's love, it's love, like the real love, or true love. I can't even bring myself up to describe this feeling, because, well, I'd only be diminishing the power, and the feeling, so I hope you just feel the say way, or the pain of your rejection may just shatter my heart into millions of pieces, making it impossible to repair.
Well, Max, I've said it, I love you. I love everything about you, and I hope you feel the same way about me, but hey, I can't be too selfish right? You are such an amazing girl, I don't think I even deserve you. Well, I hope you feel the same way, and the only thing I can do now is wonder.
Love, well more than that, to my true love:
Fang, don't know what say I'm your waht, best friend? lover? I don't know, please answer me.
Oh god, as I read the final paragraph, I felt the tears start to pour out. This, oh my god. I can't even think of a way to respond. Tears began streaming down, and I didn't even bother to wipe them away for I was way too, too. *sigh* I don't know, so happy? This feeling is so hard to describe. Is this the feeling Fang was describing of? True love? I have a feeling it is, but...
"Max?" Oh god. I quickly wiped my tears away from my face. Thank god i was facing away from him. I turned around and said,
"Yes Fang?" I looked up at Fang's face, and I felt butterflys flutter. Oh god, what is wrong with me? I never felt this way before. Was it the letter? God, I can't face Fang. I looked back down, and came face to face with the letter. Darn it. I forgot to hide it, Fang never wanted me to read it. I guess he saw, cause when I looked back up at Fang, he was shocked.
"Uh, max what are you holding?" Ugh, what am I'm going to say, Fang's scared, but wait, why am I hesitanting, dont' I know the answer, isn't it ye... Wait Max, slow down. Take deep breaths. In and out, in and out.
"Max?" God, I looked up again, and was rather surprised to see Fang's face like right me frotn of. Oh my god, i really just wanted to.. STOP Max. Stop thinking those thoughts. I put hands to my face, and turned around. Wow, so Max-like is what you're thinking right now. I know, but hey when it comes to love, I even suck. Oh jeez, I said it, love. Is that what I'm feeling? love towards Fang? If it is, then I guess I like it. NO, i shouldn't be thinking this. *groan* I'm so confused.
I suddenly felt a shake on my shoulder, and I turned around, to see a worried Fang, holding papers. Oh jeez, i'm in big trouble.
"Did you read this Max?" I knew it, this question was unavoidable. I silently nodded my head. I heard Fang groan, and I turned around looking at him, confused.
"What's wrong Fang?"
"I knew I shouldn't have written this letter. God, why was I so stupid?" I felt my eyes widen and without thinking, I said,
"No it wasn't a mistake, I lov." I suddenly stopped, realizing what I was about to say.
"Wait, what? could you repeat that Max?" Fang now looked at me with very curious eyes. He was wondering if I would say yes.
"Uh-I, um, I was saying-Uhm..."
"Max, come on you can tell me."
"Well, I- I love you too." I said it really fast, making it sound like a muffle.
"what was that? Could you please say it clearer?
Oh jeez, Fang, he must be teasing me, I'm sure he knows what I was saying. God, I can't stand it, so once again, I turned around, covering my face with my heads, and rested my head against my knees. God, how stupid can I get. I didn't know love could do this to you. I guess this is the feeling Fang was talking about. I love the feeling, but it makes me feel vulnerable and weak, and I hate feeling that, but I guess even the strongest people need love, just like Fang said. Suddenly, I felt hands on my knees. I looked up, coming face to face with Fang. I closed my eyes, and tried to turn away as much as possible, but fang, took his hands, and moved my chin towards him, and said,
"Max, i want you to open your eyes. Please?" Jeez, why now? Whenever he says please, I can't but not oblidge. So, I opened my eyes, and tried to avoid eye contact, but I was lost and I couldn't get out. My eyes were stuck with Fang's eyes. God, why did he have to have such perfect, beautiful eyes? I felt myself relax, even int this awkward state. Suddenly, I realized Fang and I were getting closer together. Oh jeez, I thought. No.
"Fang?"
He stopped moving, and looked me right in the eye.
"Yes?"
"I know this is, kind of weird to ask now, but do I have to?" I could see the hurt in Fang's eyes, and suddenly, I regretted what I had just said. It made me sound like I didn't like him. However, soon enough Fang put on his mask again, and said,
"Oh come on Max, make up your mind please? stop making me confused, it's making me crazy." i couldn't stand it, so without even saying anything, I smashed my lips to his. NOT THE BEST IDEA. I really suck at this love stuff, maybe I should go ask Krissy for some advice. However, I realized Fang was a bit shocked at first, but then he and I slowly relaxed into each other. his hands slowly made their way around my waste, with my arms tangling into his soft hair. To deepen the kiss, Fang pulled me closer to him, and I realized i had been crying. I think Fang felt it too, and so he pulled away, and wiped the tears away, and asked,
"So, can I take it as a yes?" I smiled at that, and nodded yes.
"Yes, Fang. It is a yes. I love you." Wow, I said it.
"I love you too, well you already knew that, didn't you?"
I laughed at that.
"What's so funny? Huh, Max, what's soo funny?" With that, he started tickling me. Right on the sides. I started laughing so hard, it hurt.
"Fang, *wheeze**laughs* Stop. Please, Fang, *wheeze*". Ow, my sides hurt so much. *wheeze*
"Not until you tell me what's soo funny." No, I can't.
"No, *wheeze* I won't *laughs**Wheeze* tell you."
"Then I guess I'll keep doing this."
This went on for a while now, but neither of us would give in, until someone said,
"Having fun you two?" We looked up to see Krissy smiling at us.
"Huh?" We both suddenly straightened up.
"No use you guys, I saw the whole thing, and I have to say, it's about time you admitted your feelings to one another. I'm glad for you, but I have to ask you guys to come back with me."
"Why?"
"Well, let's say it's a surprise that only I know about. Everyone is going to the auditorium for something special, and I know what it's about, and I know you're going to love it!"
Well, guess this conversation with Fang will have to wait. I wonder what this surprise is going to be.
So, how'd you think of it? I know, i need practice, I actually haven't really written much Fax chapters, so technically, this is my first time writing Fax. Well, I hope you guys liked it.
Oh and one last thing, this is your last opprotunity to vote in my poll. When the next chapter, Act 1 Scene 2, is up, I'm closing the poll.
Well, I'm flying out,
