A/N – This isn't as sad as the last chapter.

Fangs POV

When I saw the new cuts my jaw clenched. I went over into the bathroom got some bacitracin and a bandage and covered it then went into my room. When I saw the cuts something inside me broke. I did this to her. Not literally but I caused it. I sat on my bed and for the first time I can ever remember I cried. For her for me for everything.

I was glad no one was home. Well Max was but hopefully she wouldn't hear and if she did hopefully she would leave me alone. No such luck. She came in and wrapped her arms around me and I flinched.

"Fang look at me." she demanded. I didn't want to. She was so thin but so beautiful. It was my fault.

"Fang." I looked at her. "Don't beat yourself up over it. I did this to myself. No you. Me. Okay?" I nodded slightly I still felt bad though if I hadn't left....

"Let's get you something to eat." I said quietly she nodded and I wondered if we would ever be okay again.

Maxs POV

I was so glad he was back. Well glad was an understatement. Or was he? Was he going to leave me? Again? Tears welled up and I stopped walking, he noticed and pulled me into his arms. "Oh Max I know. I promise you this, I will never leave you again. I'm not strong enough. I wouldn't be able to bare it."

he sat me down and fixed me a sandwich and while I ate in silence he looked ready to cry again. He was acting so un-Fang-like lately. When I was done he turned to me.

"Max I realize it's going to take a lot for you to trust me again. And I... I'm sorry. I never meant to hu...hurt you. I just hope you can learn to trust me again. Like you used to." he whispered the last part.

He stood and walked up to his room I followed soon after. "Fang?" he looked up his eyes red. My heart clenched. I sat next to him. "I forgive you. You know it wasn't just your fault that I got hurt. I had a big part in that too. And Fang? Look at me." I said. Taking his hand.

Fangs POV

I looked at her scared of what she would say.

"You were wrong. I do trust you. I never lost that trust. Me thinking you're going to leave me," my eyes, I could tell, took on a hurt and pain filled look. "I'm not finished! Is just me being a girl." and as I looked into her eyes I saw nothing but love.

"I love you Max."

"I love you Fang." my heart swelled I leaned in and kissed her hard tracing my tongue along her bottom lip she let me in and I caressed her tongue and she moaned. I flipped on top of her. Hovering above her still kissing her.

I moved my hands along her sides and felt her hands go under my shirt and up my chest. She forced her tongue into my mouth exploring every crevice of my mouth and I moaned. When we pulled away we were both breathing heavily. I lay next to her and she switched to her side and curled up next to me, head on my chest. I gently stroked her hair.

About a half hour later I woke up. I tried to gently move Max off me without waking her but she woke up anyway.

"Hey." she said quietly.

"Hey sleepy head." I smiled. "When are the others due back?"

"Soon." she smiled and came over and put her hands around my neck playing with my hair.

I bent down and kissed her she kissed me back. We pulled away when we heard the front door shut and Angel's scream of happiness. We went down, everyone gave me a hi-five but I let Nudge and Angel hug me. Max looked surprised but didn't say anything. Best part no questions.

But we had school tomorrow. And we weren't enlisted as siblings. Which meant I could date Max in school. I noticed when we got there every guy was staring at Max. I put my arm around her shoulders and she smiled up at me and wrapped her arm around my waist. When we took our seats she passed me a note.

I love you forever you know

Love Maximum

Yeah I know. But I love you forever, more

Love Fang Mike HEE
