EDIT* This was by far, the worst chapter. So dorky I didn't realize it earlier!

Warning- this seems like it will climax into a rape story. It won't, not even close. But yeah, if you're getting vibes, ignore em, Max doesn't get raped. He mentions sex, but please, I am young and don't write that stuff.

February 13
Max POV

Tomorrow is the day of the Valentines Day dance. Normally, for the past eleven years I would be all alone and would go to the alternative for the dance, usually a movie. But of course this year, my last year of school and Valentines Day dances, I had Fang.

Last night

"Isn't this pretty?" I asked Ella, Nudge and Lissa. We were all in Nudge's room showing each other our dresses.

"Um, it's a little casual..." Lissa pursed her lips.

It's was a dress I got in Maui. It was white and a halter top, they all were, with pink swirls over it. It was empire waisted and I thought it was pretty.

"It's pretty, but this is the Valentines Day dance. This is a big deal, soooooo..." Nudge chuckled evilly.

"Max. Here's your new dress. We can do your hair an hour until the dance so it lasts the whole time." Nudge said. She shoved a dress in my hands and then shoved me into her walk in closet.

I held it up critically. It had straps that were about two fingers wide. Half was yellow and the other half was purple, but it all blended into the middle so it didn't look loud. It was lower thigh length and okay, I loved it.

So yeah. That's what I was going to wear. But first, Lissa told me I just had/italics to have my nails done a dark sparkly purple, which she didn't have. Now I was driving downtown to get some.

Everything went well, I bought it and was hurrying into my car because it was raining and getting dark. A dark shape came over me and I turned. It was Dylan.

"Oh, it's you." Brushed past him and managed to get my hand on the handle of my door, but I felt his hand grip my upper arm. Tightly.

"Um, that's a little more force then you ne-" he pulled me towards him and kissed me.

I screamed into his mouth and punched him in the jaw. He sprung back as I desperately turned around and opened the car door.

He reached across me and slammed it shut again.

"Aw come on Maxy. I've wanted you since I saw you in the cafeteria." He sneered and tried to kiss me again but I kneed him where it counts.

He doubled over but straightened quickly. With lightening force, he grabbed me and ran. I pounded his back helplessly, but he kept running. I watched as my penguin bracelet fell off onto the concrete, the smiling penguins staring at me as we got farther and farther. A little ways away, the bottle of nail polish opened and the polish dripped out in a trail. I was too busy pounding his back that I couldn't let the bottle go.

We eventually got to a a building. He pulled out a key and unlocked it and threw me in.

I scrambled up and tried to run towards the door, but decided that was stupid seeing as he was standing in front of it.

"Maxy." He walked towards me slowly. "There's only one way you're getting out of here." The door closed sinisterly behind him with a bang.

I knew what he wanted. He wasn't being exactly subtle. "Uh, how about no? I'm in a happy relationship and I really wouldn't want to have sex with the likes of y-!"

I blinked right as he punched me in the nose. I felt it crack, yet I don't think it was broken. Sprained maybe. I whimpered quietly.

"Still no."

He slapped me so hard my ears roared after. I shook it off like I had withstood worse, but really, it hurt like hell.

"Max. That's the only way I'm letting you out." I stared longingly at the door. It was unlocked, maybe I could run?

"Max. Answer me or I will-"

"What? Slap me again?" I managed to say sarcastically.

He considered this.

"Yes."

Brigid POV

I closed up the shop with a sigh. Today had been terrible. There were some really rude people out there! I walked to my car but dropped my keys next to a Volvo.

As I bent to pick it up, I caught sight of a bracelet. I furrowed my brow and walked towards it. It had penguins on it, where had I seen that before?

Max! I face palmed at my brain fart. I had been the one to give it to her in the first place! i picked it up, then saw a trail of sparkly purple. I looked down at it quizzically then stared at the trail. It led straight into a building.

I had a sense something was wrong so I walked the trail. Then I jogged. Then I full out sprinted.

I kicked the door open when I got to the building because it wouldn't open after the first few shoves.

I was greeted to the sight of a Max with two black eyes and a bloody nose. Dylan was talking to her, but from his clenched fists I could tell he was going to hit her again soon.

"What the ?$& is going on here?!" I marched up to him and in his surprise, found his pressure point on his neck. I pressed and he hissed as he went down.

"Are you okay?" I went over to Max and wiped her face with some Kleenex.

Even bruised and bloody, she managed to glare at me.

"Ooh I ook lie it?" She said as she pressed some more Kleenex to her bloody nose.

"Sorry. Reflex question." I apologized. I quickly called the police and when they arrived, Max told them the whole story.

"Thanks for saving me." Max said grudgingly. I guess she wasn't used to thanking people like me. People who had treated her like crap. Hey, that was only once! I watched as Dyaln was handcuffed and roughly shoved into a police car.

"You're welcome. Here." I handed her her bracelet which pooled into her hand.

"Thanks again." Max smiled as she put it around her.

"And I noticed that you know don't have any purple sparkly nail polish anymore, so here." I handed her my nail polish that I always kept in my bag for days where I just really wanted to do my nails outside of home. Good thing it was purple and sparkly.

Max stared at me. "Really?" She asked as she took the bottle.

"Sure. The one that broke was an O. P. I. That stuff is expensive!"

Max just pocketed it and stuck her hand out. "Thank you so much." I grasped her hand and shook it, as we parted ways.

So yeah. This is part 1 and 2 combined btw. I'm sorry if it wasn't dramatic enough, I don't really know how one acts when kidnapped, especially someone with Max's personalty, stubborn and bad ass. But I hope this was good. There are about two/four chapters left.

You can't stop this, You haven't had enough you haven't had enough.
Stuck now so long, just got the start wrong, one more last try, imma get the ending right...
