Epilogue

Max spent the next three days in Fang's room.

He didn't die.

He just won't wake up.

Max has to keep the urge to shake him awake every five seconds. She couldn't stop the tears from flowing and it's getting annoying for her.

"Just wake up already, Fang. You so owe me for this. . ." Max whispered as she closed her eyes and laid her head on Fang's right arm.

Fang POV

Is this the light?

Am I really seeing the light?

Am I dead?

A golden floating staircase suddenly appeared right in front of me. Plus, it's glowing. Oh, yeah.

As if on cue, I hear the angels' musical voices and the gentle melody of the harp.

I feel. . . weightless. As if. . . floating.

My surroundings look translucent.

Oh, shit.

I'm a freakin' ghost!

"Dude, you are not a ghost," says by a man.

"Who's there?" I ask and search frantically around me.

"I'm here!" I turn around and I see Iggy in a tunic.

I point at his outfit. "What's up with the pathetic outfit?"

Iggy looks enraged. "This outfit means I'm an angel! Specifically, I'm your guardian angel!"

Now I'm confused. "I thought you're human?"

Iggy sighs in exasperation. His halo and wings are as pale as his skin. "This is gonna be our little secret."

I shrug.

Iggy flips his wings. "Man, these are so itchy. Anyway, it's not your time."

"What?"

"I said-"

"I know what you said. But why?"

"Why? Because obviously God doesn't want you to die."

"But-"

Iggy clenches his jaw. "It's not your time. So go back to your body."

"But-" I urge.

"No buts! Can't you see there's a pretty girl sleeping in your arm? Look down!"

I look down. I see Max breathing evenly as she's sleeping.

"But-"

Iggy gives me a look. "Go back to your freakin' body and tell that girl you love her."

"But-"

"GO BACK TO YOUR GODDAMN BODY AND TELL THAT GIRL YOU LOVE HER BECAUSE IT'S NOT YOUR TIME TO DIE!"

I hold my hands. "OK, OK. No need to yell. Geez."

"GO!"

"I'm going!"

"Fang!" Iggy yells behind me.

"What?"

"You won't remember our little conversation today."

"Oh, that sucks," I say sarcastically. "By the way, how am I gonna get back to my body?"

Iggy didn't answer. I turn around and saw that the stairs and Iggy are gone. Everything is gone.

I shrug.

Then, something is happening to me. Like I'm being welded to my body. Like being swallowed into a black hole. I'm going back to my body.

I'm alive. . .

Third Person POV

A twitch woke Max up.

She brought her head up as she yawned.

Another twitch.

That woke her up.

Max turned her head and saw Fang grinning at her. She blinked many times.

This is not real, she thought. This is not real.

Max didn't feel the tears coming down her face. But Fang saw it.

"Oh, shit. You're crying. Damn. Damn. Damn."

Max hiccuped. Fang wiped away her tears, but they just kept coming and coming.

"Stop crying! Shit!" Fang yelled and pinched her cheek.

"OW! And I can't stop the tears! It's all your fault!"

"How is it my fault?" Fang asked innocently.

"You got in an accident! You almost got killed! Do you know how much I suffered? I was so worried! What if you died? What if. . . What if. . ." Max didn't know she was babbling. But her voice trailed off. "You almost died. You almost killed me."

Fang cupped her cheek. "Stop crying. I hate it so much. Like your pillow."

Max punched his shoulder. It hurt Fang, but he didn't even feel the pain. But Max laughed.

"I love you. . ." Fang whispered on her ear.

Max kissed his lips. "I love you too. . ."

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Fang asked against her lips.

"Sure. After you pay me $215."

"What?"

Max grinned. "Kidding."

Fang kissed her again. "Don't ruin the moment."

"'Kay. . ." Max wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.

"I love you-"

"Always and forever-" Max continued.

"To infinity and beyond." Fang finished.

Max pulled away. Nothing but that line can ruin the moment.

"What? You quoted Buzz Lightyear?"

"So?" Fang moved to kiss her again, but Max pushed him away.

"Really? Of all the people you can quote, you picked Buzz Lightyear! Buzz Lightyear!"

"What? He's the first person that popped to my mind. You can't blame-"

Max never thought she would ever say this.

"Shut up and just kiss me."

"Sure."

And Fang kissed her.

A/N: The end.

Fang: Farewell.

Iggy: Sayonara, people! (shouts)

Me: Iggy! You ruined the moment!

Iggy: Sorry.

Me: RnR?
