Max POV
It's been a day since Fang came back from the hospital, so technically it's Sunday afternoon, since the competition was yesterday and the…incident too was yesterday. Fang has been at his house talking to his family members on the phone, telling them he's okay. Right now, I'm sitting on my window sill, writing a song on my music journal, with the blinds open.
Fang's are open too, and I can see him on his bed, pinching the bridge of his nose once in a while, faking a smile and mouthing at me help me! I laughed when I heard him say loud enough, "YEAH SHE'S A GODDESS GRANDMA!" he said. I looked at him and he winked. I rolled my eyes and smiled at him. After ten minutes, he gripped his window sill and sighed heavily.
"Lots of followers?" I teased, referring to his aunts, cousins and uncles calling to make sure he was okay. He blew raspberries in return.
"You have no idea…can you come over? I haven't kissed my girlfriend all day," he said.
"Can't we have to call the gang to tell them you're done and go out to eat something, remember?" I asked him. He frowned.
"Not one kiss?" he pouted. I shook my head and closed the blinds.
"Hey!" he said.
"You're done, I'm going to call the gang and shower!" I told him.
"Fine! I give up! But you so owe me!" he said, and I heard his blinds shut. I smiled and called the Sam, Nudge and JJ. After that took a shower and put on my clothes. I looked at the ring on my finger and smiled. I've smiled more often ever since Fang walked into my life. Oh well, I guess that's what love struck means…
We settled in ordering pizza and invited the gang over to the music room. I sat in the couch , Fang's head in my lap, Iggy and JJ in a recliner and Nudge and Sam in the other one. With two empty boxes of pizza on the table and an empty Sprite 2 liter bottle…I guess everyone is dating someone. Sam told Nudge about his feelings toward her and she felt the same way, so they're a thing now. Iggy and JJ have been together since yesterday's kiss between the two of them. I'm just glad to see everyone's happy.
"I'm glad Fang's back," said JJ, snuggling closer to my brother. Everyone agreed, especially me. I brushed some hair away from Fang's eyes and kissed his lips for a second. Fang looked over at JJ and raised his eyebrows.
"I thought you said, when you called me two weeks ago, I was an idiot, dumbass, scumbag, who should go to hell, for hurting Max?" he asked her. She blushed. I laughed softly and stroked Fang's cheek.
"Well…as long as Max is happy we're happy," she said, indicating at everyone in the room, and they nodded.
"Oh," said Fang.
"You two are crazy for each other huh, lovebirds?" asked Sam. I looked at Fang, then at Sam and nodded. After that, we played a few songs until it was 5:30 and Iggy said he and JJ were going on a date and Nudge and Sam were going to go to a movie.
"Can you come to my house for a minute? I want to show you something…" he said, standing up. I followed him and checked my pocket for the piece of paper I tucked there. It's there. We walked hand in hand to his room, the same painting that had a sheet over it when I first came to his house, lay on his bed. He got it and placed it on his lap.
"I've wanted to get a perfect picture, one I would have implanted on my heart forever, not that every time I see you it isn't a perfect picture or I will forget, but…well…let me show you. I've been working on this all night," he said, taking the sheet off, and the picture answering my questions.
It's me…performing at yesterday's performance. It looks so real! It looks as if it was picture taken from a camera! I blushed and looked down.
"You didn't have to Fang," I whispered. He cupped my chin and tipped it up.
"I wanted to…you should see all my paintings of you," he said indicating at his closet where a chest lay there. I blushed even more. No one's ever done this for me… I gripped the collar of his shirt and reeled him in. I crashed my lips against his, taking the amazing painting from his and putting it beside his bed and pulling him down with me. I lay in his bed, with him hovering above me, kissing me passionately, lovingly.
We pulled away, and I cupped his face.
"I love you. More than anything. More than my life, more than the universe. Thank you for breaking down my walls," I whispered. He blushed and nodded.
"I feel the same way. You broke down my walls, and that's hard for anyone to do…But one look from the beautiful girl in front of me and I would give my soul instantly for her," he said. I hugged him tightly and pulled away.
"I have something for you too. Let's go to the music room," I whispered. I know it was stupid to be in my house, go to his and come back, but it's worth it! I led him toward the piano and beckon for him to sit beside me on the bench.
"I wrote this for you earlier…I've been working on it the whole night actually…" with that, I began playing and singing.
(Arms by Christina Perri)
I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start
You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I'm home
How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around?
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home
The world is coming down on me and I can't find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I'm alone
You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go...
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home
I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
And I've never opened up
I've never truly loved 'til you put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home
You put your arms around me and I'm home
I finished and looked over at him. Fang was smiling and he took my hand. I leaned up, and kissed his lips, softly.
"I've been working on it all night too, trying to come up with a sing that belongs to you and only you. I wanted to write a song that shows you how much you mean to me," I said, cupping his cheek.
"I love you, Maximum Ride," whispered Fang, against my lips. My heart surged at my full name. No one ever uses it, apart from my mom, because I'll kick that person's butt.
"I love you so much Fang Walker," I responded, using his full name. He grinned and kissed my lips once.
"That was amazing," he murmured, referring to the song. I blushed slightly and smiled at him gratefully. Fang laced our fingers together and pulled me close, until my head rested on his shoulder.
"So this means we're going to be together forever?" asked Fang, hopefully. I looked up and pecked his lips, and responded.
"Forever and ever and ever…"
First up! I'm sad this story has come to an end…But I'm going to be writing a new story about MAXIMUM RIDE so be sure to stay alert on that one (it's going to be better than this one, I think!) Okay, so I love you all and review please!
