NOTE: Iggy gained nine months! Yeah, he has to for this chapter… can't be bothered looking up the rules…

"Max, honey, you need to get some rest," Mum said from the door of Fang's hospital room.

"I'll sleep when I know he's okay," I whispered, not looking away from Fang's peaceful face.

"Max," She sighed. "The nurses said that he will be fine."

"I said no!" I yelled as I snapped my head around to look at her.

Mum looked like she was about to say something else but thought the better of it. "Fine," Mum grumbled before leaving t room, shutting the door behind her.

I turned back to Fang and took his hand in mine. I brought it up to my mouth as a single tear rolled down my cheek.

"Max," A voice mumbled. I slowly tilted my head up to look at Fang. "Don't waste your tears on someone who's not worth it."

"You don't think you're worth it?" I asked, shocked.

"I didn't believe you," He whispered.

"Do you honestly think I care?" I said… okay so I cared a bit.

"You mightn't now, but one day you'll look back and hate me for doing it." He paused. "And then you'll hate yourself for taking me back."

I dropped Fang's hand and stood up, shaking my head. "What are you saying? That you don't want to be with me?" I asked.

"I…I think we should take a break, at least for a little while. Go back to being friends," Fang explained.

"Right, and unless you say something really sweet in the next five seconds you're going to need an icepack," I threatened.

"I just think that right now you're too good for me," He said.

Tears clouded my vision as I realised that this was it… At least for a while. I reached over and caressed his face. I leant down and kissed him gently on the lips before leaving him to rest.

I whipped the tears as I walked out into the hall and down to the waiting area.

What was I going to do? Fang and I have been dating for a little over six months and now we just go back to being friends? How do you do that? I love Fang so much more than I ever thought I could and now we just go back to square one? This sucks… hard.

I was about to head to a pay phone to get mum to pick me up when someone called my name.

"Max! Hey, wait up!" Iggy called as he jogged up behind me. I looked at him, dried tear tracks on my face, and the smile fell off his face. "Oh no," He whispered and pulled me into a squeeze-the-life-out-of-ya hug.

I gripped the back of his shirt and scrunched it hard into a ball as if it could make all of my troubles disappear. Fat chance!

"Why don't we get you home then," Iggy suggested as he started to lead me to the front entrance but as he said the words I stopped.

I grabbed his arm as I begged, "Please don't take me home, I-I can't face them."

"Where am I supposed to take you then?" Ig asked.

I thought for a moment before saying, "Your parents are at work all night, right?" Iggy nodded and took me to his car.

I sat in the passenger's seat; chin cupped in my hands and watched the houses go by as I slowly drifted into dreamland.

***Iggy POV***

Max must have been knackered because when I looked over to tell her we had arrived she was already asleep.

Which was good- don't get me wrong, she needed it- it's just that now I had to get her inside without waking her up.

I undid both hers and my seatbelts at the same time and got out through my open door. I opened her door and awkwardly detached the strap from around her. Finally, it came loose and I was able to scoop her up in my arms.

I took the sleeping Max down to the guest room. I tucked the covers around her curled body and (seeing as they do it in all if the sappy movies Ella make me watch) kissed her forehead.

I yawned and decided to head off to bed too, falling asleep to images of Ella playing through my mind.

***Max POV***

Where am I? I thought as I walked down the endless hallway.

"Max?" Someone whispered. I spun around to see Fang sitting on the edge of a bed in one of the rooms.

"FANG!" I yelled and jumped into his lap, forgetting our fight earlier. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed the sensitive spot below my ear.

"Fang," I moaned. My eyes rolled back into my head as his mouth dabbed along my neck.

He was taunting me, seeing how long I can go until I crack. Well, as you all know, I'm not very patient.

I moved my mouth so it would reach his and spread my lips.

He did the same as his tongue travelled throughout my mouth, skimming across my bottom teeth, licking the inside of my cheek, doing everything I love.

I leaned him down onto the bed, slipping his jacket off of his shoulders.

"Max," Fang whispered. "Max, how far are we going with this?"

"I don't care," I replied. "As far as you want."

Fang smirked against my lips and pulled my top off with one big yank. He continued kissing my neck, sucking my pulse points, as I fumbled the buttons of his shirt. He shrugged it off with little concern and rolled over so I was under him.

He leant down and planted little kisses around the edges of my mouth. I grabbed his hair and pulled him tight against me, not concerned that I was only in a bra and my worn out jeans.

"Don't leave me," I mumbled against his lips.

"Never-" he began but was cut off as my eyes drifted open…

I shot up in bed and looked around for any sight of my newly ex-boyfriend.

Nothing.

All the adrenaline and hope bled out of me as I flopped down on the firm mattress.

Fang was still out of reach.

ME: So there's your FAX people!

FANG: Bet it's not what you expected!

ME: It was just to keep the angry mob from killing me but it was… interesting… to write…

Sorry I haven't updated… I don't really have an excuse except for the fact that I've been really tired… Please review! I love your input!
