Max
It's been a week since Iggy brought me back to life, a week since I watched my boyfriend rip Omega to shreds and go crazy, a week since I've been terrified by two people in one day. But everything was back to normal.
I gave Fang a peck on the cheek as he slept soundly next to me before getting up and throwing on my clothes. Last night had been fun. Much like the last five other nights. Okay, so I like doing it, sue me.
I went downstairs- still sore from being killed, but okay enough to move- and have fun obviously. I sighed when I got to the last step and found Lupo in the kitchen, talking to Iggy. "You don't think he'll freak out like that again, right? I mean- I don't care about Prince, but he stained my carpet with his blood." Lupo said- obvious lie.
"Depends. It was caused by Max. So if she goes and dies, it might happen again. Or maybe if they get into a traumatizing fight or- stop eavesdropping Max!" Iggy snapped. I smirked and walked in casually.
"Lupo, we both know the blood makes the carpet look cooler." I said. Lupo smirked.
"Why of course- but Prince would've had to bleed out to get the whole carpet to look like that- on second thought, got a pen around?" Lupo asked, and I snickered.
"Hey now, you can't kill my toy, I'm not done playing with him yet." I said, getting an apple from the fridge.
"Oh, I'm your toy now? I think you need to put me in your mouth a little more often." Fang said, walking in with a yawn.
"I'm not a two year old who sucks on every toy I see." I snapped.
"Nope, last night it was kinda like you were though." Fang said, winking at me. Lupo gagged and Iggy patted Fang on the back.
"Max, that's just- that poor apple." Lupo muttered. I kissed Lupo on the cheek before she could blink and she screeched and ran off saying something about needing bleach and clorox- and a flame to burn her cheek off.
"Max, you bad girl." Igster said, grinning. "Is this the first time you've been that bad?"
"Why don't you ask Screamer over there?" I asked Iggy, and Fang glared playfully.
"Last I recalled, my name was the only thing I heard." Fang said.
"That's because you're secretly gay and you picture me as you since Iggy is taken." I explained and Iggy chuckled.
"That was so out there Chuck Norris wouldn't even have a comeback for it." Fang grumbled.
"Using the Chuck Norris card! Nice..." Igster said.
"Please, he was so last month." I joked, hip-bumping Iggy and Fang as I squirmed between my guys. Fang slipped a hand into my back pocket... and so did Iggy.
"Threesome!" I shouted happily as Lupo appeared. "Foursome!" I corrected as she wrapped an arm around Iggy's waist and tried to pry him away.
"EWSOME!" She snapped, and I looked at her.
"That was so un-Lupo like. Are you on your peer-peer?"I asked. Lupo scrunched up her nose and just shook her head- though I'm not sure if that meant no, or she was just disappointed in my lack of intelligence. Either way, she pulled Iggy away and as if they had made plans, they both left. I rolled my eyes. Joy. Just me and a sex-crazed boy- oh and my brother, who must've still been sleeping.
As if on cue, Ari walked into the kitchen, ruffling up his bedhead and giving me a lazy smile. "What's for breakfast, dearest sister?" He asked, then yawned. Okay, even I can't deny Ari was the cutest thing in the mornings.
His hair all ruffled, his sleepy aura, the boyish smile on his lips. I mean seriously- all Ari needs to do to get a girlfriend is wake up in the morning, brush his teeth, and go outside. But it's mostly my fault he doesn't have one- with the whole constantly traveling thing that is.
"Uh... whatever Iggers cooked." I said and Ari attacked the fridge, going for milk and omelets and bacon. Joy. But I guess his Pigginess was even a little cute. "Ari, you need a girlfriend." I blurted out and he froze mid-bite and looked at me like I was an alien or something.
"Max, get your head checked- we move constantly, there's no time for my love life as long as people are coming after you." Ari explained before chomping down on bacon.
"But if there's time for my love life, there's time for yours. Air come on, we can find you someone you really like!" I insisted.
"Max the Fugitive Matchmaker- it actually has a nice ring to it- but no." Ari said firmly.
"Oh come on! You liked Lupo. We can find you someone that's the total package- funny, sarcastic, know-it-all, sweet with a devious side, funny with some serious. Ari I know your type, we just gotta get out there and find her." I explained while Fang kinda stood in the background, obviously not eager to join in.
"Okay max, tell you what- just to get you to shut up about it- I'm giving you a week. In this week you may set me up on seven different interviews, blind dates, or some of both. If I find a girl I really like- I won't kill your boyfriend for taking your innocence. If you can't- I'll kill him slowly and painfully." Ari said.
I pumped my fist in the air. "YES!" and then hugged my brother. "Now fill this out!" I said happily, handing him three pages worth of paperwork.
"Max! You put my life on the line here!" Fang called wearily from the other side of the kitchen.
"Your point?" I asked, looking at him. For once, he didn't reply with some sarcastic remark- maybe it was too early for that- and instead muttered to himself, leaving the kitchen entirely.
…
It took Ari a day to finish filling out all the paperwork. "Tell anybody the answer to seventeen and I will not only destroy you, I'll destroy your boyfriend, and make sure you two end up in two separate hells so you spend eternity away from each other." Ari growled darkly as he handed the papers over.
Confused, I flipped through to seventeen and grinned, reading the question.
Do you still sleep with your stuffed teddy bear, Stuffy?
Yes was circled. I grinned and hugged Ari. "I got you that bear as a thank you for sticking with me after a year of helping me break out and stay safe." I whispered, kissing his cheek.
"Yeah, yeah. I always sleep with it, Max." Ari added quietly. "Now go find me my dream girl already." He added and shoved me playfully. I nodded and saluted him before marching off to my room, and getting out my laptop- let's see how many girls in London were Ari's perfect match.
"Max, if Ari kills me I will haunt you forever." Fang muttered, walking into my room and collapsing on the bed.
"He won't, I just found five single girls who are totally fit for Ari." I said, grinning.
"How...?" Fang asked, looking at my computer. Five different Facebook profiles were pulled up.
"There's Brigid, Jenny, Kole, Angel, and Riley." I said happily.
"Riley and Kole are guy's names." Fang said.
"They can be girl's names too!" I snarled, smacking him upside the head. "Alright, let's start tomorrow with Brigid- see how Ari-qualified she is." I said, smirking as I scanned through her profile again and sent her a message.
"Wait, since when do you have a Facebook profile, Max?" Fang asked quizzically.
"Since before you walked into the room." I said petting Fang's hair. He rolled his eyes and sat up, kissing my neck.
"Not tonight." I snapped at him, rolling my shoulder to push him away.
"Why not?" Fang whined, still persistently kissing my neck.
"I'm doing something. Now Fang, Darling, you can either stop, or I can rip your lips off so you can't do it anymore." I said smiling innocently. Fang stopped immediately and just rested his chin on my shoulder, staring at the screen and scanning through the profiles with me.
Hours went by before I finally started to drift off. I had been talking back and forth with Brigid for most of that time to try and get a feel for her- but I was too tired to make any judgments. "Max, you're exhausted, go to sleep." Fang whispered, shutting my laptop.
"Didn't... say... bye." I mumbled, cuddling into Fang's side subconsciously as he laid down, dragging me along with him.
"I love you, Max, G'night." Fang whispered, and kissed me gently.
"Night." I whispered back before falling into the deepest sleep I've had in a long time.
…
It was apparently guy's day out because when I woke up, Fangels being the gentlemen (cough, choke, hack) he was had scribbled out a note letting me know he was going out with Iggy and Ari and not to wait up. I sighed and got up, took a shower, changed into some clean clothes, and walked down the steps into the family room.
"Lupo, I have a big problem- and I kept putting it off, but I think it's serious." I told her. Lupo walked into the living room, raising an eyebrow.
"Max, serious? This I gotta here." She said, crossing her arms over her chest.
"I'm late, Lupo." I told her.
"Well you and Fang go out like dogs- I mean seriously, it like an almost-"
"Lupo!" I snapped.
"Okay, Okay, don't panic, it happens, by how many days?" She asked, sitting across from me.
"A couple weeks." I said quietly.
"A couple weeks? Max! You could have a little... Fang growing inside of you! Shudders." Lupo said, shivering as if another Fang would be the end of her.
"Sh- should I go to a doctor or what?" I asked, about to be on freak-out level. I couldn't have a baby, much less raise one!
"Uh no. There's uh CVS around the corner from here. We'll just get you a test." Lupo said, standing up, and I followed.
"Lupo, I can't be preggo! I mean, the world could end today and that'd be better than a pregnant Max!" I insisted.
"I know, Max. I've been around you PMSing. And oh God, it'd probably be triple if there was a little Fang in there somewhere." Lupo muttered as we left the house and went into her car.
It took about ten minutes to get to the store- all of which I was panicking- another two minutes to get the test, and another ten minutes to get home.
I was about to go into the bathroom all brave Max style, when I stopped. "Lupo, I can't do this! What if it's positive?" I exclaimed.
"That's what the second test is for." Lupo said, waving the other box around. I sighed and walked in the bathroom, and five minutes later, I was looking at the stick.
Bet you hate that cliffie, huh? Oh well, you'll just have to wait till the next chapter to find out- Wait, the next chapter is Fang's POV! You gotta love me!
