HAHA! ...Oh sorry, was I laughing? *clears throat* on with the story.

I should probably be studying shouldn't I...meh, I feel bad for making you guys wait so long, and this chap probably doesn't even cut it. So I'm sorry! Take Iggy! Take him if it makes you happy!

Iggy: ...uh

*sniffle* Okay start the story.

I got up early and went for a run. Hold on...did I just say that? Early? And running? In the same sentence...? Woah...what the heck?

Anyway, but yes, believe it or not, here I am running my ass off in the cold 6am air with no one on the street. Just how I like it.

This morning I woke up to Fang's arm tightly wrapped around my waist. He hadn't been sleeping which was quite obvious; his eyes were all reddish purple and he didn't look relaxed at all. When I started to wriggle, he tightened his grip around me and jolted awake as if it was some kind of reflex. Fang pulled me towards his chest and buried his face in my neck, kissing me gently. After that, getting up seemed like the last thing I wanted to do.

"Are you leaving me already?" he murmured.

I told him I was just going for a run, he had a laugh at the fact that I was getting up early to run. I didn't believe it myself either. After pushing him out of my room and changing into something comfortable, I left the house without breakfast and here I am now. It's freezing yet I'm burning like crazy, it's horrible, it's aching, but for some reason I like it. Apparently I think well when I'm in these conditions. Weird? You betcha.

So...I was doing some thinking about the shirtless guy I had to kick out of my room. Cue fan girl scream at the thought of Fang shirtless and sleeping in my bed. I know, it's hot and he's mine, so lay off. But yeah, back to my thinking. He's graduating year twelve in a week; well his formal is in a week he actually finishes school a bit before that. What happens after graduation? University/college. What happens to me? I go into a crying fest because Fang won't be driving me home from school anymore, not to mention the fact that he'll be leaving and not living with me. Do you see my problem? Me too. Do you see the solution? Cue crickets in the background.

I didn't think so.

I got back home at 7am, bursting through the front door and yelling like a freaking maniac. "Water!" I wheezed "Give me...the water!"

Ella opened the fridge and handed me a bottle. She was the only one awake at seven in the morning. "Don't drink it too fast or you'll get a—"

I skolled the thing down like a parched...stuff it. I was a parched animal.

"A stitch..." Ella finished looking at me like I was nuts. She had that right. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand and sighed. That felt good. Remind me never to go running for an hour without water. I sat at the kitchen table and Ella handed me a plate packed with eggs. I stared hungrily at the poor little chick that was never born. Which reminds me, a chicken or a bird or anything that lays an egg is the only animal you are able to eat before its born and after its dead. See? I'm educational.

"So how was last night?" Ella asked sitting across from me.

I stuffed my face with breakfast "what do you mean?"

"Fang wasn't in his room and then suddenly this morning you decide to go for a run" she smirked at me "Early in the morning too"

I swallowed, both in nervousness and because I had way too much food in my mouth. "I had to think" I said "About...stuff"

"What kind of stuff?"

"Stuff people think about"

"What stuff do people think about?"

"Just...stuff"

Ella sighed and stood up. "Well, if you ever need to talk, I'm not going anywhere"

"Okay, mum" I rolled my eyes. She walked up the stairs and guess whose room she entered? Drum roll please...

IGGY'S!

I know what kind of stuff she thinks about. I laughed to myself and suddenly stopped. Okay that was a SICK mental image. I know you guys were thinking it too! Don't deny it!

Fang snuck up behind me and kissed the top of my head, "You took a while"

I swallowed. Again because my mouth was so full and because the hottest guy just snuck up behind me and I didn't even hear it. "Don't kiss me" I warned.

"Why not?" he asked with a pout as he took a seat beside me.

"I'm full of egg" I replied. He looked over at me and smiled "I'll wait then"

He was in for a long wait.

"So why did you leave this morning?"

"I told you, I went for a run"

"For an hour?"

"Surprisingly yes." And then I remembered it was only 7am; a normal wake up time for everyone else, but really unusual for Fang. "Since when do you wake up at seven?"

He shrugged.

"Did you get any sleep last night?" I asked remembering his tired eyes.

"Did you?"

"Yes"

"Good" he gave me a small smile. I got up and put my plate in the sink.

I turned around to see Fang standing right behind me with an amazing smile dancing on his lips. He put his hands on the kitchen sink either side of me so that he had me trapped in front of him. He leaned down his head and kissed along my jaw line making me shiver at his amazing touch. His lips met mine suddenly and I immediately melted into him, feeling his lips moving with mine. We pulled away from each other and he licked his lips making me want to kiss him all over again.

"You do taste like egg" he said with a chuckle.

My face went hot and I turned away in embarrassment. He pulled my chin back up and kissed me again, moving his body closer and leaning his hips against mine. The kiss was slow but it became faster, every time he would lift his hand and run his fingers along my back, down my arms and along my collar bone. My knees felt like buckling at his touch, he was absolutely perfect. He bent his head lower, forcing me to arch my back as he kissed my neck, licking and biting where he could. I let out a little whimper that I didn't even know I could manage. I felt him smile as he kissed up my neck and returned to his rightful place against my lips.

"By the way" he said pulling away from me slightly "In response to your question, I didn't get any sleep last night"

Was it me? I thought. Maybe he just didn't like sleeping beside me. "Why not?" I asked. I bit my lip and saw his eyes linger on them, I knew he wanted more.

He moved his hands from the sink and played with a lock of my brown hair. "I was too busy watching you" he kissed my neck gently and it took all my concentration not to bring his lips back to mine. I felt the heat rise to my cheeks again. "You were watching me?" I asked surprised "All night? Why?"

He shrugged again.

"Tell me, Fang. What the hell would posses you to stare at me while I sleep?" I was kind of creeped out now.

"I wasn't staring at you" he said with his jaw tight.

"Well then?" I pushed

"I was thinking." He said quietly turning away from me.

"Thinking?" I repeated "About what?"

"About...stuff"

Wow, it's like déjà vu

I shrugged. "Fine. Think all you like" I tried to wriggle out of his arms, but he held me tighter. "It was about you" he said hurriedly.

I paused. Fang was thinking about me as I slept? Wow, I wonder what he thought about... okay I caught you! You and your sick mental images! Stop that right now!

"Me?" I asked him

He kissed me and nodded. "And about graduation"

Yup, definitely déjà vu.

"What about it?"

"I got accepted into uni" he stated nervously, searching for my reaction.

Shit. I swallowed hard and I think I felt my heart break.

"Good for you"

He sighed and lowered his eyes "It's far away, Max"

I knew it! I knew this was going to happen. I could feel the tears filling my eyes, but I blinked them back. I wasn't going to cry about stupid uni or college or whatever the hell he was leaving me for. Actually...that sounds like a pretty good idea right now. "That's okay" I said. Lies. I knew my voice sounded funny, I hope Fang wouldn't notice.

"I'm going to have to..." he drifted off.

Leave? I thought to myself. Of course he meant leave. He took a deep breath and connected his lips with mine kissing me ferociously and in desperation. "I don't want to go" he said between kisses. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer, kissing him like there was no tomorrow. He couldn't leave me. Not now not ever. It took the jerk two years to admit something and then bam, uni pulls us apart.

Fang reached up behind his head and removed my hands. He placed them down at my sides and let go of my lips. I stared up at him; I could see he didn't want to leave.

"We've still got time you know" he said reassuringly "We've got a couple weeks, maybe even a couple of months and then we have holidays. It's not that bad."

"What about after that?"

He stayed quiet "I'll think of something"

"Just don't go" I told him "say no to the place and find something closer"

"I can't" he said "I've tried, but there's no one closer. This one is the closest"

I refrained from crying.

"How far away?"

"Three hours" he said painfully "I'll have to live on campus."

"No!" I yelled and hit his chest.

"Max, please. Don't make this any harder"

"How many times can I visit?" I asked. A stray tear fell down my cheek. Stupid emotions.

"I don't know"

"What if you find a girlfriend there?" What the hell was I saying?

"I won't"

"Why not? Is it all boys?"

"No"

"Then you will find a stupidly smart college girl over there!"

"I won't"

"Don't deny it, it's inevitable. You leave, you find a girl and you come back, get married and have ten kids and rub it in my face"

"What the hell, Max?"

"And you're gonna be so happy aren't you?" I asked, now crying freely. There was no use hiding the tears. "You're going to leave and forget all about me"

"Never!" He seemed hurt and angered by my judgement.

"You will!" I yelled at him "Because once you find a smart funny red headed bitch you can relate to, you're going to ask her out straight away and as soon as you guys kiss I'll be out of your memory forever!"

"SHUT UP!" he threw me against a wall and pinned my wrists over my head. He stared intently into my eyes, forcing me to look away; only whenever I did he'll kiss me and say he'll never leave. Never forget.

I knew he was lying; he's good at it too. Because once when he kissed me so passionately, making my knees buckle and my heart stop, I believed him. And then he held me in his arms and whispered words that I'll never forget. "I love you" he said "And I'll only ever love you, no one else is going to get in the way of that. So shut up about girlfriends and ten kids."

"But what if you do fall in love with someone else?" I asked between my pathetic sobbing.

"Then it won't be love will it" it wasn't a question, he really meant. He kissed me gently and I cried into him.

Stupid college

Stupid distance

Stupid campus

Stupid love
