Chapter 7: Kissing Max
Fang's POV
Max leaned forward and kissed me.
I swear, my brain went crazy.
Max kissed me! Max kissed me? MAX kissed me? Max KISSED me? Max kissed ME? MAX KISSED ME???
She was looking back at me, her eyes still a bit teary. "I'm sorry," Max said.
Sorry? What? No, Max. Don't be sorry.
"I know you like...some other girl," Max said.
"Max, you're so stupid," I said, moving my face closer to hers.
She frowned, lips pursed, obviously confused. "What do you mean?"
I could feel her breath on my face.
"You're the girl I like," I said, leaning forward to kiss her again.
I kissed her softly on the lips. Then again, a little less light. Then again.
I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close. I could feel her surprise. But when I traced her lips with my tongue, she didn't pull away.
In fact, Max pressed her warm body against me and began to kiss me back.
Her hand slid into my hair, ruffling it. I wondered vaguely if my hair was messed up.
Max slid her tongue into my mouth. Our tongues played together, moving from my mouth to hers.
She hadn't been this good of a kisser when we were fourteen. She must have gotten some practice with Jake...a wave of jealousy rolled over me.
But I had Max now. Take that, Jake!
Having Max pressesd against me was wonderful, but I needed some air. I pulled away from her, breathing hard. Max leaned forward and nibbled on my earlobe.
My knees were getting weak.
I manuevered Max onto the bed and lay down next to her. I kissed her feverishly, then moved onto her neck. She sighed.
I cautiously moved my hands down to her chest, half expecting her to push me away.
But she gripped my hair and pulled my lips to hers again.
We continued kissing, our bodies wrapped around each other on the bed.
This was heaven.
Jake's POV
God, how could I be such an idiot?
I had hurt Max. Max!
And then Fang went and comforted her.
I shifted uncomfortably under the stares of people on the street.
I could see why they were staring at me, though.
I was carrying a huge teddy bear.
I was going to talk to Max and tell her in person that I was sorry.
I was just so worried about her. She hadn't answered any of my texts.
And besides, Max didn't have unlimited texting.
Sure, Fang said she was okay. But could I really trust Fang? Maybe he just wanted to keep me away. He had always been a little jealous of Max and me.
I went to Max's dorm and knocked.
A red-haired girl opened the door. That must be Meg, her room-mate.
"Hey," Meg said. "Aren't you, like, Max's, like, boyfriend?"
"Ex-boyfriend," I said.
"Oh," she said, stepping closer.
What was she doing?
Meg leaned forward and tried to kiss me. I pushed her away, hard. She stumbled and fell. Damn. Just another girl I had hurt.
I helped her up. "Sorry," I said. "Where's Max?"
"I can't believe you still like the bird freak," Meg hissed, straightening her clothes.
"Where is she?" I insisted.
"I don't know!" said Meg. "She, like, went with that guy, Fang. Maybe, like, to his dorm?"
Okay, what? Max and Fang were sharing a room? Was there something going on between them? Could Max have been cheating on me all this time?
I was starting to feel sick.
I slowly walked to my dorm. The door was closed. I stared at it, unsure if I wanted to open it.
I turned the knob and opened the door with my eyes closed. Cautiously, I opened my eyes.
There were Fang and Max, making out on the bed.
Fang's POV
I rolled over so I was on my back. Max was on top of me, kissing my neck.
Her hands were sliding across my chest, playing with the edge of my pants.
Suddenly, she glanced up and her eyes got wide.
"Jake!" she cried.
I turned, and there was Jake, standing in the doorway, staring.
How long had he been there?
Jake was holding a huge teddy bear in his arms.
He dropped it, turned and ran.
I slowly distangled myself from Max. She was crying again.
I didn't want to look at her.
I picked up the teddy bear. It had a note attached to it.
Max,
I'm sorry.
Love, Jake

A/N: This is a little songfic that describes Max's feelings right now. It's based on Taylor Swift's You're Not Sorry and retitled Are You Sorry? I was going to do a poem, but I did this instead.

Max's POV
I stood in the shower for the second time that day. The thing about showers is that no one can tell that you're crying. I think of the teddy bear and Jake. Are you sorry? Are you?
All the time I spent with you is wasted now
I loved you for a long time but now you've let me down
And I can't believe you hurt me and I can't figure it out
And now you're sayin' you're sorry but I don't want you around
I don't know if I love you anymore
Our love was torn
What you did was wrong
Don't wanna hurt anymore
And you tell me that you're sorry
Don't know if I believe you baby
I'm not sure at all
Are you sorry?
I don't know...I don't know....
You're asking for forgiveness
I might give you a chance but I don't know
Would've loved you all my life
If you hadn't hurt me and left me out in the cold
And you didn't listen to me
When I said no
And now you're saying you didn't mean to
And I just don't know
I don't know if I love you anymore
Our love was torn
What you did was wrong
Don't wanna hurt anymore
And you tell me that you're sorry
Don't know if I believe you baby
I'm not sure at all
Are you sorry?
I don't know...I don't know....
Are you sorry?
I don't know...I don't know....
You were always so sweet to me I don't know if I love you anymore
But then that night it changed, oh
And I left you and your anger behind and went out into the rain
Our love was torn
What you did was wrong
Don't wanna hurt anymore
And you tell me that you're sorry
Don't know if I believe you baby
I'm not sure at all
Are you sorry?
I don't know...I don't know....
Are you sorry?
I don't know...I don't know....
I don't know....
I don't know...
I don't know....

A/N: Well, that was a sad ending! Personally, I liked the beginning better. I'd love to know what you think of the songfic and the chapter, overall.
I can't believe none of you got the 555-2368 thing! Honestly, I'm very disappointed in you all. I'll give you another chapter to think about it.
Review!
