Hey guys, Happy Fourth of July! I don't care if your not American, it's happy day for us, so be happy with us. :)

I was so surprised when I immediately got five reviews! It made my day.

Thanks to tiftifx3, Horsegirl2905! ScilenceIsGolden13, Ella Martenez, Adamglambertlover, and Forget My Silence for reviewing, and giving me six instead of five reviews :D

DISCLAIMER: I ONLY OWN CLAIRE AND THE PLOT

Max

"Angel honey, I don't have a boyfriend." I directed this at all three of them.

"But mummy, why did you stay over at his house then?" Angel asked.

"Because he's my friend, and he let me stay over at his place." I said.

"When can we meet him mum?" That was Gazzy. He seemed to be trying to act like the man of the house, wondering what this mysterious man was doing with his mum.

"I don't know when Gazzy, but I'm sure he would be happy to meet you two."

Nudge had been strangely quiet this whole time.

I turned to her, expecting to have her texting on her phone. Probably Iggy, her boyfriend of two years. I didn't expect for her to be on my phone texting someone.

I only have 7 contacts on my phone. Two of which I never use (my mums cell- haven't used that since I was kicked out five years ago, and my bosses/work number- for when I call in sick or something), two of which I haven't used (Fang's and Claire's), and three of which I use on a daily basis (Nudge's, Vic's, and Jonathan's). She wouldn't be texting herself, so that's one down. Today is Thursday, so she couldn't be texiting Jonathan or Vic (Thursday = alone time for them). She wouldn't be texting my mum or boss, so she's texting Fang or Claire. Crap. Hopefully it's Claire.

"Hey Nudge, why are you on my phone?" I'm still hopeful.

"Who's Fang, Max? Also, why is he wondering if he can come over in four hours?" All hope is now diminished.

"Fang, what kind of name is that?" Gazzy remarked.

"What kind of name is Gazzy?" Angel retorted.

"Well I have a reason, I have a junked up digestive system!"

"Hey, use nicer words Gazzy." I said.

"Sorry." Gazzy mumbled.

"Well, what if he was named Fang at birth or if he also has a reason for that as his nickname?" Angel asked.

I sighed, knowing that their banter was pointless and going nowhere, as it often does.

"Nudge, can you please give me the phone? To answer your questions, Fang is the guy that you saw earlier who-"

"That hot emo looking guy? He looked yummy. You are so lucky to have him! Wow, he's the first guy friend you've had in years! Wait, is he more than a friend? He looked like the kind of guy you would want to date. I bet you guys are dating! Have you gone on a first date yet? Was that where you were last night? So have you guys kissed yet? Ohh, anything more than than that, like-"

"Nudge! You are in front of five year olds! What do you think you are doing?"

"Sorry Max. I got a little carried away, didn't I?" She looked sheepish.

"Yeah, you did. Can you please give me the phone now? I'd like to respond to him, so it won't look like I am avoiding him." I said, holding my hand out for the phone.

"Of course!"

"Thank you."

Hey Max, do you mind if I come over in a couple hours. Maybe like at 1?

Yeah, that would be fine. You can meet Angel and Gazzy. Maybe Nudge too.

Who is Angel, Gazzy, and Nudge?

Angel and Gazzy are my twin babies. Well, they aren't babies anymore, they are five. Nudge on he other hand is my adoptive younger sister. The only one in my family that didn't disown me.

Oh, sorry. I'll be there at one. See ya then.

Yeah, see ya.

Also, would you mind if I stayed the night, Sam has to crash at my place and needs the bed. He takes my apartment over a lot.

Yeah that would be fine, we going to share a bed again, or is one of us going to sleep elsewhere? Like on the floor or couch?

Which ever you prefer.

I smiled at that, looking down at my phone. He really is courteous.

How about we'll see when it is time to sleep?

Sure, see you then.

See ya!

Nudge looked at me strangely for smiling at my phone. Like she doesn't smile at hers all the time...

"Hey Nudge, Fang is going to be over here at one, so do you mind helping me clean up a little?" I asked.

"Sure, I wouldn't mind." She replied.

While she started working on my small living area, I went into the kitchen seeing what we have to eat. Not much. Spaghetti would be fine, right?

I wondered how Angel and Gazzy would react to Fang being here at the apartment. Maybe they can stay over at Ari's.

Ari is also five, and Iggy's little brother. Angel and Gazzy sleep over often when Nudge and I have what you might call a 'girls night' which mainly consisted of her talking and gossiping with me falling asleep. What fun.

I wonder why Fang wanted to come over, not that I mind of course. I miss him. I wonder if he feels the same way.

Fang

After having a stressful conversation with Sam, containing him moaning over his broken heart being trampled by his hooker of a girlfriend and his half brother Dylan, I texted Max.

I missed her already. I know, you probably think I am crazy, but she the only real friend I have.

After our texting conversation I realized it was 10am, meaning I could still have cereal and have it qualify as breakfast.

After eating and surfing the web, I saw it was 12 and began packing for the 'sleepover' with Max.

I grabbed my laptop, clothes for tomorrow (I don't need clothes for sleeping- if you don't understand read chapter 6), keys, my phone and stuffed al of it into a messenger bag that would hold the stuff as I rode on my Red Rim.

It was 12:45 by then so I headed off to Max's.

If you guys didn't understand in the middle, Fang was bolded and Max was italicized, and they were texting back and forth. I also used proper English so you could understand. Your welcome :)

So how about getting up to 35 reviews, so six reviews? Maybe 40 for an accidental Fax kiss that doesn't have Max running away? :D It means a lot to me. I only wish you guys could see my parents expressions when they see me burst into a smile when I see how many reviews I have... I rarely smile.

Song of the chapter:

A lonely speaker in a conversation
Her words were swimming through his ears again
There's nothing wrong with just a taste of what you've paid for

Say what you mean
Tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign
I want to believe

Hope you had a wonderful and safe day! Did you guys get to see fireworks? I could see them from my house.
