Max:

I ran into the house and went to the couch, where Angel was. Iggy was smart to have not come after me, or...putting it nicely, I'd put him in a permanent coma.

Gazzy, Dylan, Nudge and Fang were watching videos online, waiting to do something with the group.

"Max?" Angel said. I looked at her and my glare was replaced by a smile. I mean come on, who doesn't love a 7 year old little girl that lives up to her name so well.

"Yeah, sweetie?"

"Can I ask you something?" She asked and I nodded. "Why did you lie to the others...about your stomach?"

"Huh?" I asked, playing dumb. Obviously, I knew what she was talking about.

"When I was telling them how I knew you, I said that you getting tests on your stomach, but you cut me off and said that the tests were for your arm, why?"

I shrugged. I didn't know if I trusted everyone enough to spill my guts yet. Especially, not after Ella had so easily told Iggy my secrets and not after I trusted someone so much, besides my family, with something as big as my getting raped.

"I don't really know...I guess I'm just nervous, y'know? Like, that if I spill my guts, they'll think of me differently." I said. She nodded and then there was silence for who knows how long, until a thought popped into my head. "Angel? You would tell me the truth...right?" I asked, a little hesitant on trusting someone else. She nodded.

"Of course."

"Did...Iggy tell you and the others anything?" I asked, then added, "like about my cancer and stuff?"

"Um...well.." Angel stuttered and just like that, I had my answer. It was a yes. I didn't let her finish, I just jumped on to my feet, raced outside and made a split second decision to beat the living shit out of Iggy.

Iggy:

I sat on the bench, with my head in my hands.

What did you just do, Iggy?! my mind screamed at me, Why do you fuck everything up?!

I ignored Ella, as she told me that she felt terrible, but I knew it wasn't her fault and that this time, it wouldn't be me, holding Max while she cried about the betrayal, because I was the betrayer. How could I have been so stupid? How could I have skipped to conclusions like that? Why didn't I talk to her first?

"Uh...Iggy..." I heard Ella's voice suddenly shake me from my thoughts. "Angry Max incoming" she said, and the door swung open, showing a almost red in the face Max. She quickly stepped over to Ella.

"Dear, sister? May I please have a moment alone with your boyfriend?" She practically spat at her.

"He's not my boyfriend" she muttered.

"Sure, but it's what you wanted all along. Shouldn't you be cheering, having a last minute party? I mean come on? Like you didn't want Iggy to cheat on me with you, or break up with me, to be with you from the very beginning of our relationship!" she yelled.

"Max..." I said, warning her that Ella was fragile right now. I wasn't sure why, but I knew that she was.

"Don't you 'Max' me!" She said, spinning to face me so fast that all I saw was a blur of dirty blonde hair and then she was there, her hand gripping my shirt at my chest.

I pushed her off gently as I could but she wasn't having that.

"ELLA, OUT. Now!" She yelled and Ella ran into the house, afraid of Max when she was this angry. Honestly, though, I was scared shit less. "So, somebody told me that you spilled those 'secrets' that you swore on your life you would never tell."

"W-who?" Nudge for sure. The little brat.

"It wasn't Nudge!" She said. Did I say that out loud? "Yes, yes you did. Now, it doesn't matter who told me, what matters is that I opened up to you, and you betrayed me!"

"I know..." I didn't have an excuse as to why I had told them, I just felt they needed to know..

"You tell them about me being raped too?"

"Oh, so your little birdy didn't fill you in on that too?" I asked, now angry, for reasons I didn't know. I was confident for a moment, when I saw the confusion in her eye, but it was crushed when one minute I was standing up, standing in front of Max and then the next, I was on the ground, being pushed into the concrete by Max.

"No." She admitted. "But you are"

"Am I?"

"Yes!" She yelled, digging my wrists into the hard ground. It honestly hurt like hell, but I wasn't giving in that easy.

"No, I don't think I am" She lifted me up, put my arm behind my back. "What the f are you doing?"

"THIS!" she yelled, and slammed me into the wall, my arms crashing into it. They were not broken yet, but as she kept pushing, I knew they would snap any second.

I could feel my arm about to snap when she let go. I didn't know why, because I had closed my eyes, waiting for the pain to start as the struggling hadn't helped. When I opened my eyes, I was shocked. She was doubled over, clutching her stomach.

"Ow" She moaned. "oh my god, ow!" I rolled my eyes, she obviously chickened out but can't admit it, so she pretended to be in pain.

"C'mon, Max" I said. "Give it up"

"Please...get Ella." she begged. I almost laughed. Did she seriously think anyone would buy this?!

"Max...you're a terrible actress...never audition for Broadway." I joked, and no doubt, she didn't laugh back. But what happened next, made this all too real. Max suddenly fell to the floor, looking extremely pale, like no joke paler than me, ME!

Oh my god. I opened the door.

"Fang! Call 911!" I shouted. Everyone ran outside, and looked at me, then Max, then me.

"What-?"

"Oh my..."

"ZOMG."

"What the?!"

Sorry it's short but it's a cliffhanger, review.
