Hey guys! Yes, yes, I know it's been a long long long time and I am the worst with updating my story. I mean I've had it for ages! But there is nothing I can do until I graduate this year, plus anyways I have African parents. enough said...Anyways, I hope ya'll be having a great life.
So here's the next chapter of Starstruck. Shout out to my Beta reader a veritable iron rose! She is amaze-balls! Thanks to her, my writing doesn't suck as much! I'm learnin!
Sadly, I do not own Maximum Ride or the movie Starstruck on which it's based. Oh woe is me :'(
Ps. Why is there no MR movie yet?!
On with the story!
Max POV
"It's you!"
I lunge at him and we both fall to the ground. I start punching Nick Venom with every ounce of energy I've got. Which on my side, wasn't that much. I hear Iggy in the background shouting at me, telling me to stop. Nick pushes me off him and I land on the floor, trying to catch my breath. Damn. Not looking forward to the aching muscles. But it was worth it.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Nick shouts, panting heavily. "What is wrong with you? Don't you know who I am? You can't just jump me like that!"
I look up at him with an incredulous smile. He gives me a death glare, then stands up and leaves the room. Iggy gives me a shameful look before following him out. A nurse comes in and helps me off the ground. Huh. Iggy must've called her in.
"Now now, miss. You shouldn't be out of your bed! You just woke up!" She scolds me.
With much pain, I get back on the bed. I guess that wasn't a very smart idea after all. But then again, it was worth it. It's not every day you get to beat up a pop star! Especially one you hate. Max: one - Nick: zero. Cue evil laugh. The nurse turns to leave, but I stop her.
"Excuse me nurse, could I get some pain meds? I'm not feeling my best."
The nurse rolls her eyes and walks out. I swear she just called me an immature imbecile. A minute later she brings some medication and I down it with some water. I think it's pretty strong stuff because the pain's already fading.
Just as I start to relax, a doctor walks in with the boys trailing behind.
"Hello, my name is Dr Krouse. I'm here to check up on you." I shake the doctor's hand. "I hear you had a 'misunderstanding' with one of these young men?" He points to Nick and Iggy.
I look up and smile sweetly. "I accidentally fell of the bed, and he just happened to be in my way... Oops." I'm a picture of angelic innocence. I receive another death glare from Nick.
"We have contacted your family and they will be here to pick you up in the morning. We told them we will keep you in for the night, just as a safety measure." The doctor walks out after making sure I was okay. As soon as the door closes, I turn and face the boys, absolutely furious. "You! Because of you, Mr I'm-so-famous-no-one-can-touch-me, I'M STUCK IN HOSPITAL TONIGHT!" I purse my lips out of annoyance and slink down in my bed.
He looks at me with a blank expression and exits the room. Ugh! How much I just want to give him another piece of my mind! I haven't even properly met him and I want to kill him already. That good for nothing piece of sh-
"MAX!" Iggy yells.
"What?"
"I've been saying your name for the past five minutes!" He replies, exasperated.
"Sorry."
He moves closer to my bed and sits in the chair next to it. "I know you don't like the guy Max, but please, give him a break." I look at him, still feeling a bit annoyed and give him a slight nod. "Fine, I'll lay off his back." For now. We lapse into silence. After a few minutes I decide to break it.
"Is he coming back in?"
"I don't know… Look, Max - I'm sorry for what he did to you. I'm sure he didn't mean it."
"It's cool." As if.
"Really?"
"Yeah." NO!
"Great! Because I know one day you'll fall in love and have little deranged babies!"
I look at him like a deer in the headlights. "Excuse me?" I exclaim.
"Yeah…you heard me right." Oh dear lord help us all.
"Just when I thought you were mature…"
"Oh, Max. You greatly overestimated me, a person you've known for less than three days!"
"Ya don't say. By the way, my children won't be deranged!"
"So you will fall in love with him?" Wait, WHAT?
"THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID!"
"Sssshhhhhhh Max it's alright, we all know one day it's gonna happen!"
I give him a death glare and flip him the bird. He doesn't look phased at all. He tells me he'll be back in ten minutes and walks out.
Damn. I have a feeling this is going to be a long night.
Fang POV
I can't believe that girl! Seriously, who does she think she is? Now I'm gonna have to cover up my bruises with makeup for my next show. She hit pretty hard for girl. But screw her, I didn't even mean to hit her with the stupid door.
I walk out of the building towards my car. Just as I am about to enter I hear Iggy shouting.
"F-Nick!"
Damn it! I've told him nth times not to call me Fang in public.
He catches up to me. "Iggy, what have I told you about not calling me Fang in public?" I hiss.
"Soz bro, it kinda slipped." He grins sheepishly.
"Aren't you staying with that chick?"
"That 'chick' has a name."
"For all I ca-"
"It's Max."
"Whatever." I have no interest in what he has to say.
"In regards to your question; yes, I am staying with her. And maybe you should buy her flowers or something, as an apology gift. She's pretty pissed."
"No way."
"Why not?" Iggy questions me.
"I don't fancy getting beat up by a girl again! Look at these flippin' bruises!" I reply, annoyed.
I show him the now purple bruises that were forming on my skin, but "ouch" is all Iggy says as I glare at him.
"Now if you'll excuse me, Iggy, I'd like to get back to my house and sleep."
"Yeah F-Nick, clearly you're tired, I mean you've said more than 6 complete sentences in one conversation. Congratulations!"
I give him a disapproving look before getting into my car, then nod at him as a farewell before driving off. I get back to my hotel room and go straight to bed.
I'm out like a light before my head hits the pillow.
