Hello, I'm back.

I really liked the last chapter, and I hope you did to...

Read and review, and I shall be happy...

FangPOV

I had the weirdest dream last night: Max was there, and so was Sam... and they were sitting close to each other. They were saying something, then turned to me. Max smirked and grabbed Sam's head, turning it towards her, and smashed her lips right on his and full on started making out right in front of me. She then stood suddenly and walked over to Iggy, who had arrived while Max and Sam were kissing, and did exactly the same thing with him: smirking at me and locked lips again. She did it again, to Gazzy, then again to Will. She was walking up to Nudge when I forced myself to wake.

I woke in cold sweat, panting with all my bed sheets on the ground. I looked at the clock and read 6.42am.

I got up and got ready for school. I was not in the mood to run to school, so I thought I'd meet Max this morning. I sent her a text and headed out to her place.

MaxPOV

I woke to the sound of my phone. I walked in the dark over to my flashing phone. I flicked it up to make it stop playing "The Show" so it wouldn't wake everyone in the neighborhood. I looked at the screen to find a text message from Fang:

Walking you to school, meet you on your porch – Fang

I smiled slightly, then realizing that he was probably on his way and I was still in my pajamas. Crap! I thought, stripping from my clothes and putting on clean jeans and shirt.

I jumped down the stairs and breathed breakfast while putting on my sneakers.

As I was brushing my teeth, Ella got up from bed.

"Hey, Ella!" I greeted once I'd spit. She stopped mid-stride and turned to me with an angry looked on her face.

She pointed at my with a pointed finger saying, "So you actually feel like talking to me today? Cause I remember that you didn't want to talk to me!"

I stared at her, "No, I told you last night that I didn't want to tell you where I was last night! Don't put words in my mouth!" I yelled back.

"Argh!" she yelled in frustration, "you're so full of it! Get out of my life!" she screeched loudly, turning red in the process.

I looked at her, dumb-struck. I could not believe what Ella just said, and I wasn't sure to be de-flated, or angry.

Stunned, I walked away from her, to the front porch. I ignored her plees to forgive me and sit of the swing chair on the porch waiting for Fang to arrive.

I sat patiently, my mood becoming more positive as I replayed last night with Fang over in my head.

I plugged in my iPod earbuds and put them to my ears pressing play. As the song came on, I sang happily along.

FangPOV

I arrived at Max's house to find her laying on the swinging porch chair, singing loudly to her iPod.

If I die young, bury me in satin

"Lay me down on a, bed of roses

Sink me in the river, at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother

She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh well

Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no

Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well

I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well

I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom

I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,

I've never known the lovin' of a man

But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand,

There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever,

Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life, well,

I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar

They're worth so much more after I'm a goner

And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'

Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh

The ballad of a dove

Go with peace and love

Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket

Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well

I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls"

I walked slowly to the porch as Max continued to hum the next song that was playing in her earbuds.

"I am assuming," I started as I saw her turn quickly, finely noticing my presence, "that that was the band called 'Perry'?" I smirked at her as her smooth, shocked face turned to one of calmness. She smiled and sat up, patting the seat beside me encouraging me to sit.

"The band is called 'The Band Perry', you need to get it right, you know," she said slowly, trying to get the point across.

I smirked at her, lacing my hand with hers. I flashed a smile as she shivered slightly at my touch. I looked at her face, then specifically her pale-pink lips: slightly puffed and coated lightly in lip balm. I wanted to kiss her right now, right here, but I knew better. She had to want to first, and I wasn't sure, even after last night, whether she liked me in that way.

Argh! That took forever! My day was so long! First, I was walking home, when it started to pour with rain, and I had no umbrella. Then, I had to go to this assembly thing that took three hours! After that, I had to play my soccer game TWO PLAYERS SHORT AND IN THE RAIN! GRRRRRR! It was so depressing!

Oh, well. Read and review to make me feel better...
