Hey guys! We got to 66 reviews :D

Turtlewithwings: I will get back to the Support Group, don't worry. I just wanted Max to have a bad experience first, so that other things can happen in the story :)

Song of the last chapter was Breathe (2AM) by Anna Nalick

DISCLAIMER: I ONLY OWN CLAIRE AND THE PLOT

Max

So when we arrived at the church I immediately got a feeling of dread. Chris* was most likely going to be here, he is a minister after all. What the hell am I going to do if he comes up, say 'Oh, I am sorry that I ran out of the group thing because you stared at me like I was dirt after I confessed about being raped?' Nope, that wouldn't work, obviously.

I sighed and looked out of the window before getting out of the truck. The passenger side was facing the church, so I did a quick scan to see if I could see any familiar faces that I didn't want to see. The faces would include: My mum or dad, any school people I didn't want to come in contact with, Dylan, Chris, etc. This is going to be a long service if I keep this up.

Thankfully it was one of the God at the Movies services. This was the final week, sadly, and the lead minister was doing a sermon on the movie called 'The Silver Linings Playbook'. Its a relatively good movie. I wont say any spoilers if you haven't seen it, but I will say, it's not for the younger audience. There are quite a few swears and scenes not appropriate, and I have only seen the parts they were allowed to show in a church. I wouldn't allow Gazzy and Angel to see it yet.

"Oh my God. Is that Chris up there?" I whisper to Fang during the service.

"Yeah." He said, stifling a laugh. "Who knew he was from Pennsylvania, not to mention an Eagle's fan."

Chis went up on stage during a part towards the middle of the movie with an Eagle's blanket/towel, draped it across his shoulders, and started yelling at the lead minister, saying "Don't mess with the mojo. " or "You need this on you for the rest of the service." Basically he was doing this as a funny gesture, but it was kind of terrifying too. He was being loud enough that everyone could hear him without a microphone on. There are probably 1000+ seats in there!

I buried my head in Fang's shoulder immediately after the whole Chris fiasco up on stage. Part of the movie was replaying because it got cut short. The lights went down, so Claire probably wouldn't notice me doing this. He just wrapped his arms around me and held me tight.

Me being my unfortunate self just had to accidentally bump Claire. When I did this she looked over and gave Fang a slight smile. She leaned over me and whispered in his ear something that made his shake his head and blush a little. I didn't get to hear what she said, which made me curious.

This all happened within a short span of two minutes. It made me forget completely about the possibility of meeting up with Chris, though.

Fang

I sighed when the lights were going back up and Max got off of me. Claire had said something that I wasn't sure was completely false. She said that we look cute together, and should be together. I do care for Max a lot, as a friend. She is one of the first people that wasn't judging me for what I look like or act like. It is definitely refreshing. What am I going to do? I could ask Max out, but if she said no, then we might not be friends anymore.

A thought came to me. Is Max afraid of Chris? It would make sense as to why she clutched onto me. I just don't know anymore. See, this is why I don't usually have friends, they are so confusing.

...

When the service is over Max is looking right and left, almost frantically.

"Max? Are you okay?" I guess Claire had noticed Max doing this also.

"Yeah, I'm fine, can we just get out of here quickly?"

"Sure." I looked at her questioningly, but she just shook her head.

"Were are you three going? I hope you can stay and chat for a few minutes." I voice called out from behind us. Chris.

I sighed and turned around first, knowing that Claire and Max could sneak off while he is talking to me. "How are you doing Chris?"

"Fine, fine. How are you, your girlfriend doing and the bigger blonde chick, Claire?"

"I don't have a girlfriend..." I trailed off, not knowing what to say. I looked behind me briefly to see if Max and Claire got to the car. They did.

"Isn't her name something boyish? Mark, no, Mac, no. I think it begins with M. She ran off during her first group session for some odd reason."

"Max? She isn't my girlfriend." I sigh. "Also, she ran off because people were judging her."

"No, no one judges here at Journey." Hypocrite.

"I have got to go."

"Okay see you around, Fang." He spit my name out like it was poison on his tongue. What is wrong with him? One moment he is talking to me like I am his best friend, next he spits my name out and looks up at me with disgust? That man really gets on my nerves

I walk back to my truck and see Max and Claire giggling in the back seat. Why is Claire always starting trouble and being sneaky? "What are you two up to?" They giggled again and shook their heads. "Okay, whatever you are planning, just please don't involve me in it."

Max sat in the back with Claire the whole ride back to her apartment, where she would get out and Claire would go back to her home in her Jeep. They talked in whispers and leaned in close to one another so I couldn't hear them. They were very discrete. Note the sarcasm.

Max got a text from Nudge, saying that Gazzy, Angel, and herself were going over to spend the night with some guy named Iggy. Nudge's boyfriend, I presume. Max didn't want to spend the night alone, so she invited us over to spend the night. We both accepted.

Whoop! Another chapter done, I probably will put up another chapter today, just because this chapter is kind of short for waiting a whole week for it :D

*If you dont remember, Chris is the guy from on of the first chapters that runs the Support Group. He looked at Max really disgustedly for admitting she was raped.

SOTC:

Tonight the foxes hunt the hounds
It's all over now before it has begun
We've already won

We are wild, we are like young volcanoes
We are wild, Americana, exotica
Do you wanna feel a little beautiful baby?
Yeah!
