Chapter 12 of "I Miss You"

Simply Amazing

"Max! Hurry up! We're already late"

I sighed as I made my way down the stairs. Nudge and I were going to Fang's dad funeral. I had to talk to Fang, not to show him pity, but to give him comfort and support. Nudge pulled on my wrist right when I reached ground level and yanked me out the door.

"Jeez Nudge, calm down." I said as I got in her car.

"Do not say that Max. Whenever someone says calm down, No one ever calms down. It just wastes time and breathe. So don't you ever tell me to calm down ever again or I will have you by the head" Nudge yelled at me, exasperated.

I put my hands up on defeat as Nudge buckled up. I checked the time on my watch, 1:48; we were late, very late. The funeral started at 1 o'clock and we are almost an hour late. Nudge drove us to the cemetery across town while talking about how the flowers should look like and what flowers they should be. I, being Max, didn't care and just zoned her out as usual.

The car stopped suddenly and I looked out Nudge's window. There were a handful of people there, but only one person caught my eye, the man standing at the podium. His mouth was speaking to everyone, but his eyes looking as though they were in another world. Nudge and I got out of the car and made our way through the crowd.

I walked through the grass and listened to Fang talk. I caught bits and pieces about how he was scared and his dad was there, but not much else.

"Why are you here?" I heard someone say. I turned around and saw Iggy there looking straight at me. He looked as though he was ready to drag me away, but his eyes told me otherwise. His eyes told me that he was relieved that I'd come, but his posture looked annoyed.

"I came for Fang." I said as he looked deeper into my eyes.

"He doesn't need your pity. You've done enough damage to Fang. So if you will, and I'm saying this in the nicest way possible, get your ass out of here." His face hardened, but his eyes still looked as though he was waiting for me to say something to let me stay. I looked around for a second and saw Nudge talking to some other girls.

"Iggy I know that I've hurt Fang, but I didn't come here to show pity." I glared at him and crossed my arms around my chest. "I came here to be his shoulder to be his comfort."

"What if I told you he doesn't need your comfort?" Iggy said and he glared back at me. I've never seen Iggy like this before. He was always playful and a clown. He's never been serious and so protective.

"Iggy, I don't care what you have to say, I need to talk to Fang and you will have no say in it." I stood straight up, but I put my stance down. "Look Iggy, I still care for Fang. I don't want him to be sad. He shouldn't be like this. I'm not saying this like you're a bad friend, but I think he needs someone that has gone through what he's gone through."

Iggy's eyes softened and he took a few seconds to reply, "Okay, but I swear if you hurt him in anyway, I will make sure that you and Fang never cross paths again." He said the last part with a venomous tone. He still had the protective friend façade, but his eyes still sowed that he wanted to help Fang.

I walked over to listen closer to what Fang was saying to everyone. He was closing his eyes now, like he was thinking

"And once he picked me up, he told me"Okay Fang, if you're so strong then you'll promise to never leave again."

"I promise" I also remember curling up on his lap and just listening to his steady breathing"

Then my dad said "I promise to never leave you either Fang""

Fang opened his eyes and looked straight at me.

Shit

I ran to Nudge's car without looking back. I made several turns and twists as I maneuvered my way out of the cemetery. Once I was sure I had lost him I leaned against a great oak tree and started wondering to myself.

"Why did you run Max? You could've talked to him. You could've set things straight." I put my head in my hands and just sat there for a while.

"Why am I so dumb?" I yelled out in frustration. I sat there for a few seconds, just wondering why I did those actions. I stood up and made my way home.

Bzzing

I reached in my pocket and took out my phone. It was Nudge

Max! Where are You!

Sorry, I'm walking home. I couldn't do it.

I replied and kept walking towards my home.

Bzzing

Okay. Be careful. I'll talk to you later. Bye, be careful. Alright?

I put my phone back and kept walking home. It was getting late, and I was tired. My house was a few miles away from the cemetery, and walking in a dress and heels are not exactly my forte. I figured I'd stay at the park for a while. I stopped by and sat down on a bench, took off the death traps on my feet and just relaxed a little.

There was a young looking couple little ways down from where I sat. I saw a guitar case and was curious as to what was going to happen. He went down on one knee with his guitar in hand. He started strumming slowly.

I leaned in closer and listened to his singing

I, I can't really explain what it is she does
But ah, yeah, whatever it is, whatever it is
It's simply amazing
Her head is on my chest,
The sun comes rolling in
We're lost in these covers
And all I feel is skin
I slowly kiss your face
Beautiful in every way
You are, you areSee I'm a man, that don't believe in much
But I'll be damned if I don't believe in us
And how we play a fight up in the bathroom
Next thing you know I'm saying I love you
Girl, promise me you'll never change

She ain't perfect, but she's worth it
Every breath I breathe for the life I'm in
And I know I might not deserve it
But she loves me, and it's simply amazing, uh
Simply amazing, uh, simply amazing, whoa
And she loves me, and it's simply amazing
Amazing, amazing
The girl's aworkof art and I can't help but stare
Got the smile like the sunset and the ocean is her hair, uh
What she do ain't fair, uh
And she know me better, than I know myself, mhm

See I'm a man, that don't believe in much
But I'll be damned if I don't believe in us
And how we play a fight up in the bathroom
Next thing you know I'm saying I love you
Girl, promise me you'll never change

She ain't perfect, but she's worth it
Every breath I breathe for the life I'm in
And I know I might not deserve it
But she loves me, and it's simply amazing, uh
Simply amazing, uh, simply amazing, whoa
And she loves me,
There is nothing, in this world
That can keep me away from you
And ain't nobody
Who could ever compare to you, whoa

I smiled as he pulled out a ring from his pocket. The girl looked at him and said yes right away. They kissed each other and I just smiled wider. They soon left, hand-in-hand, smiles plastered on both of their faces.

I smiled at them and took to my personal problems, looking around the park was very calming and rejuvenating. I saw a great oak across from where I sat and decided to climb it, just then an old couple arrived and sat by the bench next to the playground.

I climbed up on the great tree and just sat there, relishing the freedom I felt. I closed my eyes and rested a little. I couldn't get my mind on the newly engaged couple. They seemed perfect for each other. I rested my eyes on the setting sun and probed my brain for something to think of. I smiled as I remembered some things about old times.

I started hearing some quiet singing and strumming, but I knew exactly who it was. Only one person I know can have that specific kind of falsetto voice. I leaped off of the oak and made my way towards the sound of the melodious noise.

Everything that I've wanted to say rushed through my brain. Every broad leveled subject to the smallest detail came back to me as he sang. Everything that was unsaid, but had to be said sooner or later was right on the tip of my tongue. I blinked as his singing stopped but his strumming continued. His strumming paused and his eyes fluttered open.

Everything that I wanted to say evacuated my brain as I looked into his deep onyx eyes. The split second where all the thoughts in my head were flushed out and never to be seen again, but there were a few words that I did say.

"That was beautiful"

The simplest thing I could say, yet before I could even think about it, I was wrapped in a hug by big strong arms. I returned the gesture and wrapped my arms around his waist. Just then I heard what I wanted to hear from him for the past few weeks

"I miss you Max."

The one thing that could've made me feel better and hopefully make him feel better also. I hugged him tighter as we just stood there, in the middle of the park, in each other's arms, and each other stuck in the other's minds.

So there you go guys. There is chapter 12, which will be the second to last chapter. Today I will hopefully finish chapter 13 and be able to upload it. I sincerely thank you guys for all of your support. Other people may not see the views of my story, but I can.

I apologize for any grammatical mistakes and inconsistencies.

Quote-a-Day

"I haven't failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." - Thomas Edison

To me, this quote means stay positive. Always look the other way if something looks bad. There will always be a bright side out of everything you do. No matter what stay positive, you may change someone's life.

Anyways, it's like 2:00 in the morning (I'm such a good person. Staying up late just to right you guys a chapter) right now...so i should get some sleep. Good night people
