Sorry that the last couple of chapters were short. The last chapter was supposed to be longer but I was having surgery the next day so that was all I could think about. This chapter is longer. I also wanted to let you know that the new story I wrote is going to be posted on so you should go check it out. Well, here is the 54th chapter. ENJOY!!
Chapter 54 Restroom Stop and What Happened to Ella?
Max's POV
The final bell rang and we all scurried out of the room. A couple of the kids punched their fists in the air. "School is finally over."
I met up with Fang at the end of the long hallway. He was leaning up against one of the posts. His hair was hanging over his eyes and I was surprised that he was actually able to see me.
"Hey Max," he called over to me. Before I could take another step, he was already standing right in front of me. "Can you guess what we are going to do tomorrow?" Fang ran his fingers up my arm.
A crooked smile spread out across his face. "I think I know." At this point I was imagining everything that was going to happen.
I started to bite my lip in appreciation. Tomorrow everyone was leaving for winter break. Mom trusted me enough to leave Fang and me alone.
Fang leaned in and planted a long deep kiss on my lips. Everything around me blurred and Fang was the only person that I could see.
"Max," Iggy's voice sounded from behind me.
Great, he has to interrupt now. "What Iggy," I snapped at him.
"Whoa don't get all pissy. I just wanted to see if you guys were ready to go home?" I still wonder how he is able to find us.
Fang turned his head to the side signaling that we should get going.
"Sure," I told Iggy this time not as rudely.
We walked out to the front parking lot. Gazzy, Angel, Nudge and Ella were already waiting for us impatiently.
"Finally, we thought you guys were going to take forever," Nudge was bouncing up and down. "I wanted to head home already but they…" she pointed at Gazzy, Ella, and Angel, "…wouldn't let me go. My wings feel all cramped. Come on Max…" Angel slapped her hand over Nudge's mouth.
"Now that that's over with can we go?" Ella asked impatiently.
"Yes we can go," we all took off in unison and headed home.
"Max? I need to go to the bathroom," Nudge spoke up when we were only half way there.
"Can't you hold it for a few more minutes?" I asked almost pleadingly. She should know that she should have gone before we left.
"I really got to go." Nudge was doing a potty dance. I wonder how she does that while she is flying.
"Why can't you wait?" I asked.
Nudge's cheeks started to redden. She was clutching her lower stomach signaling that she had cramps.
"Fine, will stop," I felt a shiver go up my spine. I was remembering the last time that I had cramps and we didn't stop. It was the most embarrassing moment in my life.
"What's going on," Fang flew up next to me as silent as always. I debated whether or not to lie but he would probably see right through me. "Tell me the truth." See what I mean?
"Nudge has her time of the month," I told him through my teeth.
Fang's face scrunched up in disgust. "Okay, that was too much information."
"You're the one who asked," I put a smirk on my face.
"I know and I'm sorry that I did," a half smile appeared on his face. He is still having trouble smiling.
"Wait, what is going on?" Gazzy flew up next to Fang and me wanting to be included.
"Never mind," Gazzy seemed upset by my answer but if Fang acted the way he did then Gazzy's would be worse. Maybe I should tell him.
I opened my mouth to tell him but he interrupted me. "Come on Max. Tell me," Gazzy put on a puppy dog face. It was almost as bad as the bambi eyes.
Nudge shook her head no but I told him anyways.
"Nudge has her period," Nudge's face sank and I could tell that she was blushing again.
"What's that?" Gazzy asked with confusion on his face.
All of us burst out. I told Fang that he should have 'the talk' with him soon but I don't think now is the good time. Fang is going to have with that.
"Make sure you ask Fang when we get home because this isn't the time or place to talk about this," Fang glared at me. He knew 'the talk was going to be painful.' Well at least he only has to go through it once. I had to go through it twice.
"Can we get home then because a period sounds like fun," he knows nothing.
"We have to stop first so Nudge can go to the bathroom," I spoke up and we flew for a few more minutes before we spotted a gas station. "Do you have everything that you need?"
Nudge nodded her head. For once she was speechless.
She patted her backpack and headed into the gas station.
"Now will you guys tell me?" Gazzy begged.
"You have to wait until we get home. If Nudge is fast enough we should be home in ten minutes." Gazzy frowned. He was acting like more of a little kid then usual.
"What are we doing," that was the first time since we left school that Iggy spoke up.
"Nudge need to go to the bathroom," that was the first time that Iggy had not listened to a conversation.
He was giving me a strange look that was asking, 'do I want to know what is going on?'
I shook my head no but I forgot that he couldn't see me. "I'm shaking my head no."
Max? Can I tell him what is going on?
An evil smile spread out across my face. She knew what the answer was without me even having to tell her.
Iggy's face instantly turned into disgust. "Thanks Angel," he said sarcastically. It was Angel's turn for an evil smile.
Angel was about to reply when Ella spoke up interrupting her, "Can we get some food? I didn't have lunch."
I gave her a strange look, "Why?"
She looked at the ground, avoiding the question completely.
"Ella, tell me what is going on," I said in a gentle demanding voice. I didn't even know that was possible.
"The… the guys…you met…when…when…"
"Just spit it out," Iggy demanded of her and she actually listened.
"The guys who had a gun when you saved me took my lunch." My mouth dropped. I thought I got rid of those bastards a long time ago. Now they are going to pay. "And they gave me this." She turned around and pulled the back of her shirt up showing the biggest bruise I have ever seen.
"What happened," I asked with concern.
Ella opened her mouth to explain but Fang interrupted, "I'm going to go check on Nudge." I nodded my head signaling that that was a good idea.
"What happened," I asked again.
"Well, I was walking down the hall to the lunch room to meet up with Gazzy, Angel and Nudge like I usually do. The janitor's closet opened up and they strolled right out like nothing was going on. I just kept on walking, trying to avoid them but the biggest one of them. I forget his name but he grabbed me and threw me into the janitor's closet." I heard Angel gasp but I bet she already knew about this. "The big guy came in and…and…" Tears started to well up in her eyes.
"Ella? What happened next," if it's bad I need to know.
She started to tear up twice as hard.
"The big guy raped her," Angel spoke up for Ella, "and he told her that if she told anyone then he'd do it again but worse."
My mouth dropped and I could feel my fists tighten up. They were definitely going to pay.
"There's more," my mouth dropped to the ground. What else did those bastards do?
Ella stopped crying for long enough to finish up the story, "The leader came in, lifted up the back of my shirt and gave me the bruise on my back. He said, 'give me you lunch.' I pointed to my backpack so that he wouldn't hurt me anymore, took my lunch and left me in the closet."
At this point, Fang and Nudge came out again and Ella had already started to tear up again.
"What is going on?" Fang asked with confusion on his face.
"She told you?" Nudge asked her voice softening with each work. I nodded my head at her.
"Will someone tell me what is going on?" Fang asked, this time with annoyance in his voice.
"At home," we took off and headed home in silence. I have to make sure that I tell Mom what happened.
Hope you guys liked that chapter. It is the longest one that I have written in a while. Sorry that it took me so long to update but I was waiting for my reviews, which I didn't get. I've also had no one to write lately but we didn't do much in history today so I wrote half of this chapter then.
I thank everyone who reviewed my new story. I'm taking it off of fanfiction though and I added it onto fictionpress. I know that you guys probably hate me when I do this but if you read my new story and review it I will give you a sneak peek to the next chapter. I bet all of you are wondering what Dr. M is going to do this time. I changed the title of my new story from 'The Big Move,' to 'The New Girl in Town."
I would really appreciate it if you guys checked it out. Thanks again for all of the reviews, I hope I get more this time. PLEASE REVIEW!!
