Oh wow. I haven't posted in like, a millienium.

Anyway.. I hope you'll like this chapter!

By the way. I'm planning on making another fanfic (still MR) and I hope you'll still read it.

I'm also deciding to end this one..

Ari was smiling dreamily at me, as if I was ice cream and he was a beggar boy. Okay, weird saying. He leaned forward and reached for my hand. Before he was able to grab it, I pulled it back and then I stood up so abruptly that the table fell on him. "Thanks for the lunch!" I yelled while I was running towards the exit.

That was the most awkward lunch I have ever had. I mean Ari?! Was it even possible he would do that?! I tried to remove those thoughts from my mind so I walked towards my apartment which was still a kilometer away. Lots of time to think, huh?

Taking a deep breath and closing my eyes, I tripped on the sidewalk and well, tripped. I fell face down on the road with like, billions of cars passing by each second. I tried to stand up quickly but it was too late. When I looked to my left a HUGE truck was going to run me over.

Goodbye, world.

*FANG'S POV*

I got home when I saw the horrible news in the TV.

I stepped on the front porch when I heard my mom yell, "Fang! Come here, quick!" I rushed over to see what happened then she pointed towards the TV.

The news said : "Witnesses told us that a young woman tripped on the sidewalk," Stupid Max! "..then got ran over by a truck. When the truck passed by, her body wasn't there anymore. Her body was nowhere to be found and there were no traces of blood. A mysterious .." I stopped listening to the news and quickly ran towards Max's apartment.

I got there with my chest heaving. I opened the door forcefully and looked for Max inside. I yelled her name when her neighbor heard me. "Are you looking for Max? I heard she disappeared this afternoon. I didn't see her go back here. I'm sorry." she said. I looked down. Why had she been so careless? She has battled ten thousand Erasers, lived through experimentation but yet in the end she disappeared because she got ran over by a truck. How ironic. "Thank you." I murmured then I ran back towards our house.

My mom waited for me in the living room. "Did you find her? Any of her whereabouts?" she asked. I just looked at her glumly. "I'm so sorry.." she whispered. I ran up to my room and banged the door shut. I kicked off my shoes and jumped on my bed. I resisted the urge to cry; it's just Max. It's not the end of the world.

But actually, it is.

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I got 33 missed calls. From one person.

Nudge.

I answered her call and heard her soft voice quivering.

"Fang? Where's M-Max?" she asked then she sobbed even more. I could barely hear myself. I think I heard Iggy shush her because she forced herself to be quiet.

"I-I don't know.." I said, feeling guilty for not having the answer. This time, I wanted to cry with Nudge. She cried more when I said that I didn't know where Max was.

"I hope she's safe. I hope she's alive.." she murmured. "Me too." I said. Then gaining my courage, I said, "Nudge? You and Iggy call Angel and Gazzy. All of you come here." I paused then, "We're going to look for Max."

-

Nudge was wearing short gold shorts, white shirt, brown shades and a huge hat that was big enough to cover two people. Angel was wearing jeans and a shirt like Gazzy, Iggy was wearing jeans, a white shirt and a jacket. I was wearing a black shirt and black jeans. The usual.

"Where could she be?!" Nudge kept repeating while moving around was talking on his phone, probably canceling meetings, concerts, et cetera. Angel's eyes were sore red from crying and Gazzy was staying strong. Good for him. "How do we know where to look?" Gazzy asked. Man. That was Max's job. To think of the idea. "Maybe we should talk to the last person she met up with. Oh, wait, that was me." I said. Iggy's eyes lit up. "Maybe not. Maybe she met up with someone. She tripped on the sidewalk right? Maybe she came from somewhere." he suggested. That seemed like a good idea.

We all went back to Max's room and looked for things that might give us an idea where she could've went. I actually felt a little jealous - who could've Max met up with? I focused back then Nudge yelled, "Oh my God!!" Everyone looked at her and asked, "Did you find anything?" we all asked eagerly. "No. But these clothes are so .. eww! I am DEFINITELY buying her new clothes once we find her." We shook our heads and I felt irritated. How could she think of that at a crisis like this?

"Guys.." Iggy said. We all came to him and I said, "This better be not about her bedsheets." He handed me a paper and I saw what it read in Max's handwriting.

Lotus Restaurant 12:00 - lunch with Ari

The last person she met was Ari.

If he dared hurt her, I'm making sure he'll never see the light again.

"Thanks for saving me. But please tell me who you are." I said. I heard him chuckle a familiar laugh.

"I know you know me." he said, then he stepped out of the shadows and I saw his familiar face.

"You.. but.. how?" I stuttered. He laughed again. "There are some things you don't know about me, Max."

Short chapter. Hope you liked it!

Please look out for my new MR fanfic!
