Chapter 14

Friends not Fiends.

Hilary patted the ice pack on Tyson's jaw sympathetically, "Tyson, dear, stop raving about what happened."

Tyson sobered only to start fighting with Hilary. Max looked miserably at the two. His mind was still wondering at the quick turn of events. Ray was frowning to himself probably thinking where Kai could have gone and would he return. Mariah had gone to the kitchen to make tea, which her hometown elders declared was excellent for hard times. Kenny had opened his laptop and was busy discussing business deals with Emily.

"I wouldn't worry too much if I were you," Mariam said laying a hand on Max's shoulder.

Max looked at her, felt the familiar flutter and promptly forgot his worries, "Mariam, you have changed a lot." Mariam gave a slow half nod and said, "So have you."

"But not as much as you. There was a time when you hated all of us. Back the I had a great crush on you," Max said looking at the floor. "Yup, me too. And we, Saint Shields never hated the Bladebreakers. We were doing our duty," Mariam said coolly.

"Ah, nobody escapes my charm," smiled Max. Rambling on, "That almost sounds like Tyson. I wonder where Kai is. Kai shouldn't have behaved as he did and nor should have Tyson. Hi Ray, I just realised Kai has locked himself out of his own house."

For some reason everybody found this funny. Max smiled weakly, glad that he had broken some of the ice. If he had glanced at Mariam that time he would have seen LOVE clearly written in her eyes. LOVE and SADNESS. But by this time you must have understood that expecting normal behavior from the Bladebreakers is impossible.

Unnecessary chapter, I know, but I want to focus on everybody and not just Kai! If anybody has missed the "DATE" chapters, I would like to tell you, we are just a chapter away from Kenny's date which, you would have all guessed by now , won't be blissful (or maybe it wil?). So, next to next chappy you get your fun!

Ummm, does anybody watch WWE?

Now,

PLEASE, PLEASE REVIEW! (Even a small smiley in the name of a review would do!) *puppy dog eyes*
