Chapter 13: Max Gets Another Chance

Fang POV

Today was THANKSGIVING! Thanksgiving was one of my favorite holidays because I love food and the best feasts are on thanksgiving. My family usually ate with the Martinez family at their house. My mom, Dr. M, Iggy, and Ella all usually cooked.

This Thanksgiving was going to be different. Why? Because my best friend Maximum Ride will be eating with us, that's why. I changed into my normal black attire but got some dress clothes. We usually played football then ate and then made a ginger bread house. During the dinner we had to dress formal. I hated that part. I got black dress pants and a long sleeved red dress up shirt.

I slid down the stairs to see my little siblings getting ready. Gazzy was getting a football while Angel was being just angelic.

"Everyone ready to go?" my dad asked. I glowered at him. He had cheated on my mom with a woman for three years. Three freaking years! My mom had gone and stupidly taken him back. I didn't trust him at all. No one did really. The Martinez family hated him and so did my siblings.

"I think so Jeb." My mom answered him. Jeb is such a stupid name. Max hasn't met my parents so this was going to be very interesting.

We then trooped over to the Martinez's house. We were greeted by the sweet aroma of cooking. My mom went right over to help.

All of a sudden someone jumped on my back and covered my eyes. "Guess who." She asked and laughed. I recognized that laugh. It was a laugh that made my day just shine better.

"Hi Max. How are you? I'm good except for the part that you are latched on me," I relied. She came down and blushed while I smirked.

"So this is the famous adopted child. Maximum Ride, what an… interesting name. I can't wait to learn more about you and how you came to be here." Jeb snidely said.

"Jeb." My mom harshly said, mortified that her husband had just said that.

What an idiot! He first reminds Max that she's adopted, he used her full name, insulted her name, and then he wanted to learn all about her past and what happened to her parents.

Max bristled up angrily. "Yes sir. I am indeed adopted and my name is very unique. Jeb is a … what do you say? A very interesting name too. I can't wait to learn about how these great kids came from a lousy father like you. Also, how is it that you got a great wife and kids. Life is so unfair." She ended politely.

My dad's mouth was on the floor. He hadn't expected that Max would talk back. "You will not speak to me in that way Maximum. I am after all, a wise and mature adult and you are just a child. I demand respect."

Wow, my dad has a death wish. "I will give you damn respect when you earn it mister. I am more of an adult then you probably too. I've had traumatizing experiences where you wouldn't last a second and I know a lot about human nature. So you're just an old geezer."

Ouch. My dad just got schooled! I snickered and led a fuming Max outside to play Thanksgiving football.

"Max. I'm really sorry about Jeb. He's a jerk and I hate him too. You schooled him pretty badly though." I gave Max a high five.

"Something about him I don't trust. I just don't know what." She replied frustrated.

I tensed up. "I know, he cheated on my mom for a while and when my mom found out she decided to take the jerk back."

Max turned me around so that I was facing her and she held my shoulders. "Fang, if you ever need to talk or get away. Come find me. Okay?" she asked.

I nodded and she gave me a hug. What surprised me is that I returned it. "Come on love birds! Let's play some football!" Iggy yelled at us. I growled at him... again.

We ran to the backyard but little did we know that the football game was about to get intense.

Jeb just got SCHOOLED! Ha ha. I had to add that part. What do you think of Max's little tell off? You like? What do you think will happen during their football game? Leave your comments and predictions in a review! REVIEW PLEASE!
