Last time: Nerris and Harrison discovered they loved each other. Max declaring his love for Nikki was just part of Nikki's dream. Max and Nikki were captured and were being moved to were Tabii is. Sasha and Max had a fight.Max's POV

"We're almost there!" Ered announced.

My time was running low. Tabii will make me suffer. What do I do? Nikki hadn't stop crying silently. I was still thinking when the pickup stopped. Tabii was there, with an angry look on her face. Guess I was the only one impressed by the pickup.

"So, you're finally here. Get them down." Nikki and I got lifted and put in the ground. "Sasha! Come here!"

"Coming!"

As soon as she arrived, Tabii whispered something to her, she nodded and came back, she whispered everyone else, I guess it was the plan.

Erin came and untied us. I was enjoying my freedom when I was tied again, this time, even tighter. I looked towards Nikki and they tied her to a chair.

"Hey Max, if you have a plan, now's the time." She said.

Tabii's POV

My plan was going perfectly. Time for step number 2.

"Max, what did you do to Neil? Why was he crying?"

"Pfft, as if I'm going to tell you" He said.

"Well, I had that planned" I showed him his knife, I saw how his cocky expression changed. I was enjoying that. "If you want Nikki to be unharmed, then you will answer, understood?"

"Okay, whatever. Yeah I made him cry, I threatened him."

"Why did you do that?"

"Because I needed to."

"Did he discover some sort of secret?"

"As a matter of fact, he did, yeah. I couldn't have it divulged"

"Well, it sort of backfired, right? Now, tell us what that secret is, or else..." I pointed the knife towards Nikki.

"All right, I'll tell you, but you have to answer my questions first, ok?"

"Whatever"

"Well, first of all, what's up with this shit? I mean, this looks like some sort of shitty TV series or a crappy fan fiction. We were supposed to reunite, talk about the old times, catch up with one another, and it turned to this?! What the actual fuck?!"

"Well.. Umm. You see-"

"And also, where the fuck did all this rope come from? Why is everyone following your orders? Is this some sort of secret organization or post apocalyptic civilization? Dystopia?"

"Shut up! Just answer my question!"

"What was it again?"

"What is that secret than Neil knows?"

"Well I'm sure he knows a lot"

"Arghh... The one you threatened him for"

"Oh! That one. Are you sure it's that one?" He was infuriating, I couldn't stand him. I threw the knife in anger. "Woah, calm down, Tabii... with one eye... Pfftttt hahahaha.."

I walked towards him to hit him, but I remembered Nikki, she was... unconscious? Well, whatever.

"Answer or I'll fucking-"

"Tabii stop!" I recognized that voice.

"N-Neil?"

"Please, stop. This is not like you."

"I...I.. I'm sorry Neil, forgive me."

"It's okay, I for-" I saw how Sasha hit him and he fell unconscious.

"Well, guess I'll do it." I slapped Nikki. But it wasn't Nikki, it was just a bunch of grass now.

"What the, Max what did you-" I looked to where he was. "Wh-Where is Max?"

"Over here" It was Max, behind me, knife in hand, he was carrying the real unconscious Nikki.

"How did you escape?"

"Well, it was rather easy I must admit... While you were busy whispering the plan I managed to untie myself, but I didn't escape there, I waited for the perfect moment. When you asked me the first question I decided to play along and try to make you mad, it worked better than expected, you even let my knife reunite with me. When Neil come in I saw everyone was looking at him, so I rushed took the rope off, grabbed Nikki, put some grass, recover my knife and make a dramatic appearance. That's pretty much it."

"BRAVO! Perfect execution, and the dramatic entrance was really on point" Said one freak with a bad taste in clothing.

"Let's just finish this Tabii, we don't have to do this. Just, stop."

"But... I..."

"Tabii, my love... Please stop this madness" Neil was back on his feet. "Please, let's just go home everyone."

"Okay, sorry.."

"Don't be..." He just said before kissing me.

Max's POV

Well, at least everything worked out. Now, all that was left was say goodbye. Harrison gave Nerris a ride since she came here on bus. Preston just said goodbye and disappeared into the woods. Sasha and Erin left together because Neil was gonna take Tabii home. Only Nikki and I were there. She woke up.

"Hey sleepyhead"

"Wha- what happened? Why are carrying me? Where is everyone?"

"They all just left, Neil said he was going to spend some time at Tabii's house son that you wouldn't wait for him."

"Oh, guess I should get going"

"Hey, relax, want me to take you home?"

"Ok"

My car was actually really close, at least it wasn't missing or partially robbed. I slowly put Nikki on the copilot seat, fastened her seatbelt and closed her door. She fell asleep again. There were tears on her face and a smile. She was having a nice dream.

I got to my seat and turned the car on. It was a boring trip, and it was getting darker. We arrived. I got out of the car and to Nikki's door, I opened and woke her up.

"We're here. Wake up."

"Help me, carry me to my room." I carried her. At least my car was parked correctly out of her house so I wouldn't get a bill from a cop. We arrived at her room door. She wanted me to carry her inside and to her door. When I dropped her, she looked down, she wasn't feeling exceptionally happy. I knew what I had to do, again. This time, I would do it.

Luckily, her parents weren't home. So, no parents, no brother, nothing, I could tell her without fear.

"Nikki?"

"Yeah Maxy?" I almost died from hearing that.

"Ummm... Well, you see.." Suddenly, a ringing phone. Nikki's.

"Hello?... Oh... Really?!... Great... Yeah... We will... Ok... Bye!" She was looking way happier now "Hey Max?"

"Yeah?"

"Ered invited us to a party"

"What? But we were all together a while ago!"

"Yeah, but you know her, being the cool girl she is"

"Yeah, I guess."

"So... You wanna go?"

"If you want to, I'll go" her face lighted up. She was really happy.

"Then let's go!" She was suddenly full of energy again, I can't understand her, but I like that side of her. "Oh, Max! How about, after the party, you stay and sleep in my house. Neil texted me saying he was gonna spend the night with Tabii and then sleep at her house?"

"Yeah! why not?" I said with a smile on my face. I called Gwen to tell her I was gonna sleep at Nikki's. She said it was okay but I had to pass by the house first.

When we arrived Gwen was already outside.

"Hey Gwen! Why did you call me here?"

"Here, have this" She handed me a small box.

"What are thi- GWEN!" They were condoms.

"Hey, it's better to be prepared, right?"

"Fuck off, I'm leaving"

"Bye!"

I got to the car.

"What happened?" Asked a curious Nikki

"Nothing, let's just go"

"Okay"

We just left and headed to the party, where all tiles of adventures and experiences were waiting for us.

1280 words! Not too shabby. It seems Ered left all what happened that day behind. Max and Nikki are getting closer to each other, and, even though they have already kissed, they still don't embrace their feelings. Next chapter will be intense, but I won't upload it until tomorrow. Sorry. Just 2 chapters today. But at least is something, right? Hope you enjoyed and keep tuned for more of this "crappy fan fiction" as described by Max. Take care! Bye!
