OK, so news for today

I'll only be able to update chapters on Sundays

I'm really truly sorry but it's the only day to update

My weekdays are entirely booked and I write the chapters on Saturday, so Sundays are the only days I've got

Now, on another topic, CHAPTER TIME!

-Chapter 15 : Prom night becomes disaster after kill-

"Nudge, I-I-" I tried to make the words come out of my mouth yet they were betraying me. Of all the times that I could have told, why did it have to be this one? Karma, I hate you so much.

"You… You're Double M? The Maxine Martinez?" I couldn't stare into her eyes, I just couldn't.

"How did you find me?" I blurted out. Why did I just say that? I am an idiot, I am an idiot. She crossed her arms and looked at me skeptically.

"I got suspicious and followed you."

"You followed me? What are you, a stalker or something?" OK, not the best choice of words here. Once again, I am an idiot, I am an idiot.

"Seriously? Of all the things you say, that's what it is? What about a simple sorry?" Her eyes looked hurt. Who am I kidding, she WAS hurt!

"I'm sorry." I finally said after an agonizing minute. She looked at me for a long time before responding.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I thought about it for a moment, trying to exclude all the idiotic words.

"I- Don't you ever have this secret that you can't tell, no matter who it is? Like it's too big a secret that if you tell anyone, then the secret will spread? It was like that for me. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you." I said, finally looking.

"Don't get so mad at Max, Nudge. She had reasons and she wanted to tell all of us, you especially." Ella added but shut up when Nudge glared at her.

"Yeah, 'wanted'. Well, I feel sooooo wanted right now. You know I'm a big fan of Double M, Max! And besides, we're your best friends and you couldn't even tell us that? That is kind of important to us!"

"Nudge, I-"

"I think I made a mistake coming here." She turned to leave the door but I grabbed her hand.

"Nudge, please listen. I wanted to tell you, I really did but…" I trailed off, trying to keep the sentence going but I knew I had nothing to defend myself. It was too late, Ella warned me, it even came in my dreams for crying out loud, yet I was too ignorant to see the signs. Nudge sighed and took both my hands. I looked at her and saw that her eyes softened.

"I understand that you couldn't tell me fast enough Max, I really do. I also have a secret that I never told anyone, not even Ella! Sorry Ella!" Nudge added when Ella gave her a pointed look. "But this was kind of important, Max. I mean, what if our friends found out the way I did?"

"I wouldn't worry about that. Nobody's got the guts to follow me like you did." I joked weakly and Nudge gave a small hint of a smile. She took a deep breath and said,

"I forgive you." Just like that!

"You… forgive me? But I've been hiding the secret for so long and-"

"I'm forgiving you because I understand the pain you went through." She hugged me and it was then I knew that everything was OK with me and Nudge. After hugging for a few more seconds, we let go and Nudge looked over my shoulder and gasped.

"ZOMG, what are those dresses on the ground? That is like, the prettiest dresses I have seen in my entire life! It's all what Doubl- Right, you're Maxine Martinez. Guess I have to get used to that, right?" She laughed weakly and I smiled.

"I took all these annoying dresses out to find the perfect one for you. Come on, dive into the pile like Ella did." Ella's face went red from embarrassment and Nudge hugged me once more.

"I'm glad I forgave you easily." She whispered and in a louder voice she yelled, "CANNON BALL!" And dove into the pile.

"ZOMG, this midnight blue dress is so beautiful! And that white one! It totally looks like an angel's dress! All it needs is a halo and wings and ta-da! Angel! ZOMG, Angel would be perfect for this dress but what should I choose? Oh god, I feel like I need at least a week to find the perfect dress but the prom is tomorrow and – " Nudge's babbling was cut off by my phone ringing.

"Hello?... Oh, hey Karen!... No, still at my house… Wh- Oh shit! I totally forgot. OK, I'm on my way!" I turned my phone off and grabbed my bag.

"Where are you going?" Nudge asked me.

"Photo shoot. Totally forgot! See you tomorrow!" And left before Karen could call me again.

Next day

"PROM PROM PROM PROM PROM!" Nudge kept chanting next to my ear while I just smiled at her.

"Nudge, I think we understand the concept of prom. Now will you SHUT IT!" Iggy shouted as Ella laughed. Fang just smirked like he always did. Lunch was interesting.

Nudge would keep on babbling on about prom while Iggy and Gazzy would always try to shut her up.

Angel would talk to Ella about their prom dates (Iggy for Ella and Sam for Angel for some reason).

Fang would watch the group silently.

Me?

I just stared at Nudge and Fang.

Even though I felt some of the burden get off when Nudge found out, I was still nervous that she might tell anyone.

After I came back from the photo shoot, I called Nudge and she instantly went on about how she found the perfect dress. I think it was like 10 minutes after the phone call that I finally interrupted her and asked her not to tell anyone about my 'secret identity'. She was quiet for a moment before agreeing.

"It's your choice on who and when to tell. Just don't forget to tell them soon." Her exact words and I intended to keep it.

I looked at Nudge once more before looking at Fang again. He was still watching silently at the group and then he caught me staring at him. He then smirked at me and I scowled playfully back at him.

Maya Maya Maya

That name kept on replaying in my mind. What did she do to Fang that made him hate Double M so much? Maia I could understand. He hated supermodels. But then why had Fang said he hated Double M? Why specify the term 'supermodel'? There was only one reason for this. Maya.

Night of the prom (5 hours before)

Ding Dong

"Who is it?" I called out.

"Paparazzi!" They called back. I rolled my eyes playfully and opened the door to reveal two widely smiling girls and one blind-folded one.

"Was that Max at the door?" Angel asked confused.

"Yeah, this place is a total mansion. Today is their day off but Nudge made a few arrangements so now we have this parlor to ourselves." Ella explained. I bit my lip as both of them told millions of lies to Angel. Nudge, Ella and I made a plan to do all the prom thingys at my house but to include Angel as well without her suspecting that this was my house and I was Double M.

God I needed to tell them soon.

"Then why am I blindfolded and you guys aren't?" Angel asked.

"Because we've been here plenty of times. You haven't and we don't want to ruin the surprise." Nudge said.

"Then why blindfold me from the beginning?"

"The location is also a secret. Don't worry, we'll tell you soon enough, right Max?" Nudge said while raising her eyebrow at me.

"Yup." I said coolly when really, I was freaking out inside.

"Can I take the blindfold off now?" Angel asked with desperation and Ella chuckled while untying it.

"Wow." Angel gasped as she took in the view of the 'parlor'.

"Amazing, right?" Ella asked her excitedly. Angel could only nod.

"You can understand why we wanted this to be surprise, right?" Nudge added and again, Angel nodded as she kept staring.

"It looks so mansion-like." She said and we all nodded.

"This parlor has some serious sponsors." I said.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Come on, let's start on some work!" Nudge exclaimed and everyone (except me or course) cheered.

"Let the torture begin!" I yelled as the three devils dragged me to my room AKA dressing room and makeup parlor.

5 hours later

"We're almost there! How the hell did you guys rent a limo?" Angel exclaimed as (my) limo turned a corner.

"Nudge secrets." Nudge winked and they laughed while I just stared out the window. The car then stopped and we started to get out.

"Thank Chevy. I left a huge tip for you at the backseat. Bye!" I told the driver and he smiled warmly at me.

"Come on Max! I think I can see the guys at the front gate!" Ella said as we walked towards the gates. Ella was right, the guys were waiting. And they all sucked in their breaths. We all smirked at them and interlocked our arms with our dates.

"You look… so beautiful." Fang was struggling with words.

"Why struggle?"

"Can't find a good synonym." I chuckled.

"Put on some contacts?" He asked me and I nodded. I actually pretended to put in contacts when really, I was just adjusting the green contact lenses. Like I said, perfect eye sight.

"And is that some eyeshadow?" I nodded once more.

"The three devils over there forced me to wear it. It itches like hell." Not true. Too much experience I guess.

"And I thought you were beautiful when you had no makeup. Now you're just… breath-taking." I raised my eyebrow playfully at him.

"So you're saying I should wear makeup from now on?"

"Dear god no. Then you'd be way too out of my league." I laughed.

"Note to self: wear makeup more often." He chuckled before placing his lips against mine. A brief kiss that it happened so fast but I still smiled.

"Come on, the dance is waiting for us." He said and led me to the dance.

To be brief, the prom was amazingly… cheesy. I really don't know who was in prom committee but this theme was so cliché. A night beneath the stars? I bet they got that from Sonny with a Chance or something. Still, I didn't complain because I had my best friends, my amazing boyfriend, and no threats of Double M.

We first took our prom pictures. Two pictures. One formal and the other goofy. Ours was the best, the goofy one especially.

"I am so keeping the goofy one." I said and he chuckled.

"No way, that one is mine. You get the formal one." I narrowed my eyes playfully at him. He looked at me with the same eyes and we both shouted at the same time,

"ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS!" Fang got scissors while I got paper.

"I win. The goofy one is mine! HA!" Fang bragged while I pouted.

"No fair! You were supposed to get rock! Don't you know the saying 'You're a rock is you're a man'?"

"Nope and that goofy one is mine." He started to wave the picture in front of my face and I snatched it out of his hand. He looked startled for a moment and I took that advantage by running. He must have fazed out of it because he was right behind me when I looked back. Amazing discovery: running in a dress isn't really fast. Shocking, isn't it? He grabbed my waist and pulled me to his chest.

"Picture please." He said and out of nowhere, I kissed him.

"Can I have the picture?" He just nodded, still startled by the kiss. I smirked and I put the picture inside my bag.

"Come on Fang, stop being shocked and let's dance." He shook his head a few times and he nodded, smiling like me.

The songs were first fast and all of us were dancing like crazy. I could see Ella's brightened face as she danced next to Iggy and saw Nudge, Gazzy and Angel dancing happily as well.

Then the slow dance came on.

I gently put my head on Fang's shoulder. It was surprisingly comfortable.

"I hate to admit it, but I think proms are awesome." Fang said and I laughed.

"Yeah, especially when you're dancing to the person you love." I said without thinking. Oh dear god, what did I just say. Fang tensed, understanding what I said.

"You… You love me?" He said slowly, trying to process what just happened. I was blushing red all over.

"Oh god, I really didn't want that to come out. Um, Fang, jus –" His lips came crashing down on mine and we were kissing like there was nothing else in the world.

"I love you too." He whispered. He kissed some more until we heard familiar (and by familiar, I mean Iggy and Gazzy) calling out, "Get a room!"

We both rolled our eyes at them but stopped kissing.

"I haven't felt this way since Ma –" He stopped abruptly but I knew what he was going to say.

"Maya?" I asked and he looked at me with wide eyes.

"How did you –"

"The time you got drugged with Valium. Fang, you know and I know that I am not the jealous type," He raised his eyebrows and I shoved him a little.

"Fine, I am the jealous type which is why that name keeps bugging!" I shrieked intentionally. Then my eyes got softer. "Tell me who this Maya person is and why she keeps bugging you because I know she keeps bugging you Fang. Tell me." I pleaded and he looked at me with hurt eyes. He took a deep breath.

"Maya, she was my first love." I gasped a little bit. So, Maya had been Fang's girlfriend. "And she almost killed me." Wait, WHAT?

OK, chapter is DONE!
