Ok, I'm sorry I haven'tupdated faster but like I said in my other story 'Romeo and Juliet HATE each other?', I'm mving back to Mexico

And I'm in Korea right now

So, you can understand why I can't update faster

So, because of this, I made this chapter a bit longer than usual

ENJOY!

-Chapter 11 : Max, I am your mother. NOOOO!-

"What are you going to do now?" She shrieked and I gave her a look of confusion.

"What did I do now?" I asked and she huffed in annoyance.

"The photoshoot! How could you forget the fricking photoshoot? For a moment, I thought you were in a peasant's house, doing peasant work but when I heard you got into a car crash, I had to resheduale the whole thing! Now, what are you going to about this?" She glared at me hard and I gave her the same look.

Peasant? Why would she say that? We're just as social class as the others. How dare she call my friends peasants?

And she knew about the car crash and her only worry was the freaking photoshoot? What the hell?

"Wow, I'm touched about how worried you were for me." I said sarcastically and she nodded fast.

"Of course I was worried! Your face would have been scarred forever if you were injured too far." I gave her a sour look.

"Seriously? You were worried about my face? What about if I was breathing or not?"

"Oh, I was worried about that, too. If you died, I would have had to go with plan B."

"PLAN B?" OK, I knew she was not my mother but this was taking it too far.

"Oops, it must have slipped out. OK, so I moved the photoshoot for –" She started to say but I cut her off.

"Don't you dare try and change the subject. What do you mean, plan B?"

"Oh, just some plan I made up in case you fail you career." She waved her hand like it was nothing important but I wasn't going to let her go off that easily.

"Tell me what this plan is about." I said in a deadly voice, she flinched for a second before gaining her posture once more.

"Don't you dare use that tone on your mother and show some respect." OK, now I was pissed. Did she just call me my mother? If it weren't for the hospital, the room would have already been upside down.

"What. Is. Plan. B?" I grit through my teeth but she pretended to look at her watch (which she didn't have on) and stood up.

"Oh, look at the time, I have to go. I'm meeting someone very special. I might not be home until tomorrow." I knew what this meant. She would play slut until she got what she wanted.

"Get out of my sight." I growled, unable to look at Anne any longer.

"Maxine… You will not use that tone on me. I am your mo-"

"You say mother at me one more time and I swear I will quit this supermodel business, return every expensive thing to the stores, and will donate every single penny to charity." That shut her off.

"I schedualed the photoshoot to Saturday. If you're not there by 2 in the afternoon, you can kiss your normal life goodbye." And then she slammed the door shut. Fang jolted and I panicked. Was he awake the whole time? Oh god, if he heard every word Anne and I said, he would surely know.

"F-Fang?" I asked cautiously and he turned to me and smiled.

"Yes Max?" He asked in a peaceful voice. Good, he didn't know yet. Or maybe it was the Valium talking. Note to self: Do not take Valium.

"You ok?" I asked and walked over to him.

"I still feel very peaceful." He said and I smiled. It wasn't normal to see Fang like this. Normally, we would be all 'I'm an emotionless rock. DO NOT BOTHER' but this Fang seemed like he would spill all his secrets.

"Max, did you kiss me or was that just a dream?" He suddenly asked me and I hesitated. I cleared my throat uncomfortably.

"I may have kissed you." I said and he stared at me with wide eyes.

"I always dreamed of kissing your warm, soft lips. Now, you tell me that you actually kissed me and I thought this was as dream as well. Well, there goes my chance." He said and I realized something. Fang liked me for me. Like, the actually me. Not the glamourous, makeup faced Maxine Martinez, but sarcastic, don't mess with me or you die Maximum Ride.

"Fang, do you like me?" He nodded.

"Thought it was obvious and girls say that boys are blind. Please. I can put up a billboard with your face and the headline would say 'Girls are proven wrong for the first time'." I laughed at the thought of that.

I slowly put my hand on his hair and started to play with his hair. I leaned forward so we were face to face.

"Uh, Max?" His cheeks were getting red and I put on a small smile.

"So, you're telling me that the time when you kept avoiding to see my face was because you liked me?"

"No." Oh great, the Valium was gone. "Don't use 'like' in past tense. I still like you. And the only reason I was avoiding your face was because you were making me nervous and I didn't want you to see me with my cheeks all red."

"Like they're doing right now?" I teased and he swore before he turned away from me.

"Fang, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." I said softly and he faced me once more. He then swore once more and I raised my eyebrow at him.

"Did you just swear at me?"

"You don't get it. You don't understand what you do to me."

"I'm sorry?" I apologized but it came out morer like a question.

"Don't be." There was an awkward silence as we both just looked at each other. Fang then sighed and ran his hand through his hair.

"Why do you have to be so beautiful?"

"Umm, I'm not beautiful." And I really didn't feel like it. I know, I'm a supermodel and all but whenever I looked in the mirror, I just couldn't see where people liked it.

"Max… Remember when I said you were too perfect?" I nodded.

"Yes, when you were all loopy from the Valium. I thought you wouldn't remember that."

"Well I did. And I take it back. You are not perfect." I don't know why, but that hurt me a bit.

"If you can't see how beautiful you are, then you madam, are not perfect."

"Fang…"

"Max…" And before we knew it, we were both leaning forward, our lips touching in the middle. We didn't say anything but we both knew that we were together now. I mean, we could have gotten together faster but like he said, I'm blind, what can you expect?

"So, you and Fang…" Ella started to say while wiggling her eyebrows just like Iggy would do.

"So, you and Iggy…' I said in the same tone and she blushed.

"I don't care what you say, I don't like Iggy."

"Right. And the Tower of Pisa is in a straight line." I said while rolling my eyes. We were inside Ella's car, on our way to school. You would think I would be afraid of cars now but hey, I would rather be inside a car of death than be late to Mr. Aston's class. Remember when Ella said Mr. Aston would cut people's heads off if they were late?

Good news: He doesn't cut off heads.

Bad news: He cuts off grades. Not good if you're an honour student but then, when have honour students been late to class?

"I knew you guys would get together."

"Really?"

"Yup. Reading Fang was easy. But you, you were very hard. It wasn't until the cafeteria that I knew you had some feelings for him, too."

"The time when I was stupid enough to wear my disguise to the photoshoot?" She nodded.

"Nudge still has her suspicions. She tells me that no people should look that same unless they have twins and Nudge is an expert on Maxine Martinez. Apparently, Double M does not have any known siblings."

"Shit. Do you think she'll find out?"

"Max, maybe you should tell everyone."

"WHAT?" I yelled so loudly Ella lost her focus for a moment. The car swerved a dangerous left.

"Max, you can't just yell something that loud to the driver!" She scolded.

"Sorry but what you're saying right now… You can't possibly expect me to tell them. Secrets leak out. FAST."

"But you can trust them. I've been with them for more than 5 years, Max. They can keep a secret."

"Maybe they can but it doesn't mean that it can't leak."

"Max… If you keep this up and someone does find out, they'll take it the wrong way. They'll think you betrayed their trusts."

"Was that how you felt when you found out my secret?" She stayed quiet but I knew her answer.

Yes.

Question that is so important, you guys have to answer
