Chapter 8: ...
YAY! Two chapters in one weekend! One point for me! Should I do this more often? I mean, make more than one chapter a week? I'll go with what you people got to say about this. Anyways, continuing with the story...
Fang POV
I got back to Max's cave and found her sitting on the ground, arms around her legs, and eyes closed. She must be sleeping.
Hmm, Angel asked me to bring her back to the house but she's now asleep. I could wake her up? No. She actually looks kinda... Peaceful when she sleeps. When I wake her up, there's no telling what she'd do. Whatever, I'll just carry her back. What? It's not like I could do anything else...
So I made my way over to her and picked her up bridal style, and started off to the house.
~Time Lapse – Next Morning~
Max POV
When I woke up in the morning, thankfully it was a Saturday, I was in my room. I remember clearly falling asleep back in my hideout! Who in their right mid would think about bringing me back here when I was in the most peaceful place in my small world? The only people that knew I was there were Angel and... Fang.
Why is he being so nice to me and the others? Does he just want to get to know us, know our secrets, and then do the same thing that Dylan and his goons did? I turned to look at the clock in my room. It said, 10:30. I wonder where everyone is...?
I decided to go downstairs to see if anyone's made breakfast. Sure enough, everybody was down there eating some of Iggy's famous breakfast: bacon and eggs. Yum!
"Hey Max! Want some breakfast?" Nudge asked then face palmed. "Of course you do, you're always hungry. How'd you sleep? I slept amazingly last night! And, I had the most amazing dream ever! I was - " I zoned out after that. I sat down in my usual seat at the table then dug into my breakfast.
Once I was finished, I put my dirty dishes away and heard the doorbell ring. Since there was a window in the kitchen so you could see the porch I looked out. I tensed, then told everyone that was still in the room, "I am not here." I raced up the stairs into my room before anyone could ask any questions. I did not want to face Ari this early in the morning.
Just incase somebody told him I was here, even though I told them that I wasn't, I went to hide in my closet. Trust me, If you had the most idiotic guy in your house, adopting you so they can make your life even more terrible, you'd hide in a closet too. I was praying that they wouldn't tell him I wasn't home.
Nudge POV
"I am not here," Max said and dashed upstairs to her room. I was going to ask who was at the door but she made her way upstairs too fast before I had the chance. So I went to go open the door.
I was greeted with, "Hi, is Max there? Or Jeb?" It was Ari.
"Uh, Max isn't. And I don't know about Jeb. Hold on a minute please." I said, closing the door not too hard in his face. "Jeb? Ari's here. He wanted to talk to you, is that okay?"
"Sure," was his reply.
"Oh, Max told us that she doesn't want Ari to know she's here."
"Alright, I understand." He said as he made his way towards the door.
Short chapter but I updated at least! Hoped you liked it! Oh, and I couldn't think of a name for this chapter because it's too hard... I spent about five minutes trying to come up with a name and failed sorry! But the next chapter will definitely be longer, and have a title. Sorry! R&R please!
