EDITED*

Here it is! Apologize for the wait, it's just school work is piling up, and band practices and dance are making me very busy. I am really really sorry and appreciate the no rushing me. But I've done it and here is chapter twenty!

I might update faster if you friend or like my Facebook. Seriously.

Monday

Max POV

Well, it's been a month and a bit, and Lissa and I are quite close. I don't remember what we used to be, but Lissa says we're close to what we used to be. She's come over and tried to help me bake chocolate cookies. After I burnt the first batch, she told me to stay away and let her bake. It was delicious, though not as yummy as Mom's.

We've gone shopping, or more like I bought a pair of shorts and hung out in the food court while she bought loads of stuff. I still laugh when I think of her witnessing some guys hit on me and grab my butt and me slapping their faces. And punching their noses.

Recreating a friendship is hard and isn't supposed to be planned. It's gradually happened as I remember more memories of us. Like one where Lissa fell of her bike and I carried her back home to where we were greeted with cookies and Lissa with band aids.

Fast forward to July thirty first. We are packing for Maui. All I have in my suitcase is the bikinis, some shorts, a couple tank tops, a few pair of jeans and comfy shorts and my Marianas trench concert shirt for pjs. I'm not even going to start on what clothes Ella and Nudge have packed.

Lissa packed about the same amount of clothes I did. Though she had a few dresses, something I refused to pack.

"Max!" Angel bounced. We were currently on my big trampoline in my backyard. I was babysitting her, Gazzy had soccer camp.

"Yeah Ange?" I double bounced her.

"Are you done packing?" she did a flip. Don't know how she did that.

"Yeah. How's-"

"What's up with you and Lissa?" Angel interrupted me.

"Oh, um, we had a um, big fight in the past, but that's old news now. We're friends." I jumped, landed on my butt then bounced up.

"Hm." Angel frowned. "She's all different. I remember her shirts used to be so low I could see her b-"

"Yeah well she's changed. All t shirts and sensibly necked shirts." I cut in hastily.

"That's good, you needed more friends that are girls."

"I have plenty!" I protested.

"Ella doesn't count. Nudge is her friend."

"She's mine too!"

"Okay fine, Nudge counts. But who else?"

"JJ?" I said weakly. I hadn't talked to her for a while and didn't know if she came back from her vacation yet. I doubt it.

"Okay fine. All I'm saying is, this Version of Lissa seems like a nice friend. She gave me some cookies!"

"Her cookies are good aren't they?" I smiled. "Let's go inside, all this bouncing is making me hungry."

"No cooking." Angel warned.

Fang POV

Well, I'm packed. Took forever, but I jut stuffed in a bunch of t shirts, shorts, socks blabla. I had wanted to just bring one t shirt and one pair of shorts, (hey, the apartment we're staying at has a washing machine,) but Mum was insisting i bring more.

"Yo Fang, have you seen my headphones?" Iggy poked his head around my door to my bedroom.

"Um, not for a while," I collapsed onto my bed. "Didn't you lend it to Ella?" I smirked.

"Crap, I did. Would it seem rude if I asked for it back?" Iggy walked into my room and sat at my desk chair.

"No. But..." I trailed off.

"What?" Iggy leaned forward.

"Asking her out might make it seem less rude." I finished. "Dude, you've liked her since like, you set eyes on her."

"That would be when I was five." Iggy stated.

"Okay, like, a long time. Just go for it!" I sounded a lot like those teen girl magazines.

"I should." Iggy bit his lip. "What if she says n-"

"Don't do that to yourself Iggy." I warned. (Avengers reference! :) )

"You're right! I should!" Iggy jumped up and ran out of the room, almost crashing into Nudge who was hauling her suit case downstairs.

"Watch it!" she called at his retreating back. "Where's he going?" she asked me as I followed her downstairs.

"Just doing something that was long due." I stared wistfully at Iggy through the window to see Ella open the door, Iggy ask her and then Ella jumping up and down screaming yes. If only I had the guts to do that. Though not to Ella.

So there, again I am so sorry for the wait, but look forward to the next chapter next week.

Guys, not one friend request? If you don't like the thought of me knowing who you really are, it's not that hard to create another Facebook account and name it your pen name.
