A/N:
Thanks for the reviews!! Someone mentioned about the spacing in the
last chapter, and I'm sorry about that. When I typed it, it wasn't
like that, but when I posted it, it was. I read Max 5 a couple days
ago, but I'm not making this after that book. I liked how there was
fax (sorry if I just ruined it for some people) but in my story,
there will be fax, just not at first. They're not together yet. Also,
thanks randomwriter94 for the tip, I'll make sure to do that, and
don't worry, NO max+edward, I hate that. So yeah... thats it. Please
enjoy!
-twi XD
"Max!!"
squealed Nudge, rushing to my side, the rest of the flock right
behind her. All of their faces were joyful, big happy smiles
stretched across their faces. I made a mental note to get them all in
a bath sometime soon.
"Hey guys," I said. Nudge leaned
down to hug me, and then Angel took my hand.
"Oh, I was
sooo worried Max! You just fell, with no warning. And Fang tried to
catch you but couldn't, and we had to take you here, and we all
didn't want to go to a hospital, but we had to, 'cause you were
pretty hurt. You know, this hospital isn't that bad, 'cause it's so
small. There's like, ten patients right now. The foods pretty good,
too," I was saved from having my ears start to bleed by Iggy,
who put his hand over Nudge's mouth.
"Yeah, It is good
food," Angel said. "Fang, we brought you back a tray, but
we don't have one for you Max, we didn't know you were awake. Sorry."
"That's okay, Ange, sweetie. I'll get some food later."
I tried to ignore the fact that I hadn't eaten in three days, and it
felt like my stomach was trying to eat itself. I had a stupid IV in
anyway, and wasn't sure if I could eat.
"So," Iggy
said, eyes looking at my pillow a few inches from my head. "When
do you get out of hear? Not that I don't love hospitals or anything."
He added sarcastically.
"Tomorrow, I think. I have to rest
or something, my strength has to come back." I sighed. We all
hate hospitals, as Nudge mentioned, but it was so much worse when I
was actually in the bed, with machines around me, some even attached
to me. I shivered, and looked away from the heart monitor thing.
God. I just want to get out of here, NOW!!
Angel
squeezed my hand she was still holding. " It's okay Max,"
she said soothingly. That's right, the six year old comforting the
fourteen year old. "I know you hate it hear, me too. But these
people are nice, nothing like whitecoats or anything. The doctor, Dr
Cullen, is really friendly, and he honestly cares about us."
Having a mind reader be handy in times of unsurely. Like now. "
Dr Cullen hasn't told anybody about the wings, then?" I asked.
Angel frowned. "No, he didn't - and he won't - but its
weird. He thought something like 'I can't tell, how would I like it
if someone told people about me.' But he never thought of what he
was, so I couldn't hear that."
I instantly panicked. I
looked over at Fang. He was looking at me, and when our eyes met, we
silently agreed. Keep
On Guard.
"But,"
Angel went on, seeing everyone panicked. "whatever he is, he's
safe, and really nice. His family interacts with people all the time,
and they all like them. He invited us to stay with his family, didn't
he Max? Can we please? He has some children, and apparently one of
them has a daughter. I saw her in his mind, and she's sooo cute!!"
Angel looked at me with pleading eyes.
"Oh, he invited us
to stay? can we? Pretty please?!" Nudge said excitedly, using
Bambi eyes. I quickly looked away, but unfortunately looked over at
Angel, who was also doing Bambi eyes. Hell, even the freakin' dog
was trying to plead with his eyes. Of course, I can't resist Bambi
eyes.
"We'll talk to him about it." I said
reluctantly, which followed cheers from the younger ones. Fang looked
at me like, you
compete push-over.
I ignored him, partly because the door opened, and Dr Hottie, I
mean, Dr Cullen walked in.
"Sorry if I was interrupting
anything, but I need to check your injuries Max. Is now an okay time
to has some X-Rays?" He asked politely. Politely, shmitily. An
X-Ray is still an X-Ray, and that made it freaky enough.
"Yeah,
sure. Now's fine." I tried to sound calm and relaxed. He wheeled
my bed through the door, and my flock stayed in the room. He put a
heavy coat-thing on me, and left the room. I remembered when I'd done
this in Arizona with my mom, and I that I had nothing to worry about.
Even so, I was sweating when I heard the little buzzing sound. Dr
Cullen came back, took off the coat, and started to wheel me out of
the room, down the hall.
"So," he started saying, from
somewhere above my head. "did you think any more about my
offer?" I hesitated. Why did I feel so weird about this?
Normally I would laugh in someone's face if they offered me something
good. With this though... It still feels wrong, but part of me is
actually wanting to go live in his house. Weird, right?
"I
told the others we would have to talk to you all together about it.
But really, we can take care of ourselves."
"Oh, I
don't doubt that," Dr Cullen smiled down at me. "But I
would hate to turn you out of a house. You are still young, wether
you act it or not." I suppose he was right, not that I liked
being called young.
We entered my room, and the flock was there.
I took Gazzy's small hand in mine, then looked up at Dr Cullen. "So
you really wouldn't mind taking in six kids?" Total coughed.
"And there dog?"
Dr Cullen smiled a warm, wide smile.
"Of course not. You wouldn't all have your own room, we don't
have six spare bedrooms. We have the space for it, and my wife loves
having children around. All our kids are seventeen and older, so Esme
would love the change."
Seventeen and older? He looked
around his early twenties, no way old enough for kids older that I
was.
"Er, Dr Cullen,"
"Please, call me
Carlisle." the doctor said.
"Okay, Carlisle. How in
the world can you have kids in their late teens? You don't look near
old enough."
Carlisle chuckled. "They're adopted. My
wife and I can't have children, and it's always been her dream to be
a mother. We've adopted six children. You would probably get along
well with them." He looked expectantly at me, waiting for a yes.
Which, against my better judgment, he was going to get.
Don't
worry Max.
Great perfect timing for the Voice to pop in.
These
people can help you. They will keep you safe.
Well...
if you say so. "I guess we could spend a couple days at your
house." The uneasy feeling was worth it though, seeing how happy
the flock was.
Please.
Please don't let me regret this.
