Looks like I was able to update faster than I thought! I can't lie, writing is a great way to procrastinate ;) So here it is the next chapter! And guys seriously please review! I don't care if all you have to say is "Hey that was good!" or "Man that chapter sucked, get you shit together!" Its just nice to hear your thoughts :D So without further ado here is the next chapter of "Sometimes"

Lying on my bed, Dylan's words rush through my head. Why did you kiss me back? I didn't though did I? I pushed him away, I told him to leave.

But there was a second there that I didn't push him away; I let him kiss me. I might have even liked it. Is there anything wrong with that though? Is a kiss supposed to be absolutely horrifying if you don't like the person? I hope not because I know I don't like Dylan in that way. But that kiss….

I hear my phone buzz and I see that it is Fang calling me. A knot forms in my gut and I don't know what to do. Do I tell him that Dylan kissed me? Will he take it in the worst way and assume that I have feelings for Dylan?

The last thing that I want is for this to come between us.

Ignoring the call I start to dial Nudge's number. She can tell me what to do. Nudge may be younger but she has a lot more experience in the romance department than I do.

Nudge answers on the third ring and immediately starts prattling away. "ZOMG Max! I haven't talked to you in like, ages. How's Florida? Have you been to the beach? Do you like it better there? Do you miss Rawlings? Do you miss the gang? I…"

"Nudge!" I interrupt. "Of course I miss Rawlings and all of you guys, Florida is nothing compared to being with you. But I really need to talk to you. It's about Fang." I whisper the last part, realizing maybe this was a mistake. She has known Fang longer. Will she tell him?

"Oh no, you aren't having second thoughts about getting back together are you? Because the car wash starts in an hour and I know Fang really misses you and I think it would just break his heart if you left him again even though he would never admit it. I know you guys belong together and I can't let you hurt him again especially knowing that it hurts you too."

"No, I am not breaking up with him!" I reply, ignoring the pain in my chest when she mentions Fang's heartbreak. "I could never do that again, but something happened and I don't know what to do about it."

Suddenly I don't want to share what happened between Dylan and me. This seems like a mistake but I can't change my mind now, can I?

"Hypothetically speaking," I cough, "if someone were to do something they know is wrong, even if they didn't start it and they stopped it almost immediately, should they tell someone else about it? Even if it really didn't mean anything and it will only cause the other person pain?"

For once, Nudge's only response was silence. After what seemed like forever and my nudging her along, Nudge finally says something. "Max, what did you do?" Nudge's voice was distant, not the normal hyper, fast paced jumble that I became accustomed to.

A tear slides down my cheek and I hurriedly wipe it away and I clear the lump that formed in my throat.

"Has Fang happened to mention my friend Dylan to you guys?" I ask slowly.

"Max, what did you do?" Nudge repeats, her voice worried. I ignore her and continue talking.

"Well, I got home today and he was here waiting for me. You see I told him I was sick so I could get out of our plans, but he thought it would be nice to bring me soup. I started trying to apologize and things got out of hand and then all of a sudden he was kissing me," I started talking faster and faster, wanting nothing more than for this to be over. "At first I was shocked but then I… I kissed him back. Only for a second though! I pushed him away and kicked him out afterward but Nudge, I kissed him back and I don't know what to do…. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know." I say bawling.

Nudge says nothing.

"Please, Nudge I need to know what to do. I don't want to hurt Fang. I love him so much and he is already so jealous of Dylan. I don't even like him. It was just a moment, nothing like Fang and I have ever shared. Nudge, please help me."

I hear a sigh from the other line and I know Nudge will come through for me. "Max, what you did was horrible but it wasn't entirely your fault. I believe that you love Fang but that means you have to talk to him. He deserves to know the truth. But don't do it over the phone. He deserves better than that." And with that she hung up.

I know she is right but I can't believe how cold she was to me. She is supposed to be my friend. But can I really blame her after what I told her?

It has been a few days now since my talk with Nudge and I haven't heard from her since. I have barely talked to anyone. When I'm not in school I stay in my room, avoiding calls from both Fang and Dylan. How could I talk to them when I feel this guilty?

I am currently entertaining myself by staring at the ceiling and blasting Mayday Parade, my go to band for times like this. Suddenly I hear a buzzing noise from my desk and when I get up and look I see that it is yet another text from Fang. This one is a little different though.

Max, I don't know why you are mad at me or why you are avoiding me but I'm worried about you. Please talk to me. I just booked a flight for tomorrow morning. I will arrive at 7:00 am and I really hope to see you there waiting for me.

A tear rolls down my cheek as I reply.

I will see you then. I'm sorry and I miss you.

With that I blast the music louder and go back to moping. What am I going to tell Fang?

"Dad! I'm on my way to the airport, can I have some money for a cab?" I yell to Jeb. My nerves are going haywire now and as my dad hands me the credit card I know he can tell something is up.

"Excited to see Fang, huh?" He smiles, misunderstanding my emotions. "Well, I'm sure you guys will have a good time. Go ahead and show him around town for the night, on me. It's the least I can do." The past couple of days he has mistaken my depression for that of a lovesick teenager torn from her mate and not that of a cheating girlfriend about to spill the beans. Clearly he isn't good with emotions.

"Alright, bye." I say as I avoid his hug and head out the door. The cab is already waiting outside and I force myself to get inside. The drive there seems like an eternity and although I should be excited to see Fang I only feel dread. Dread over how he will react.

When I get to the airport I pay the cab and go inside. The place is huge and people are running everywhere. Luckily, I remember where to go from when I first arrived and I head in that direction. When I get to his gate I realize that his flight was delayed.

What am I going to do now? I look around for something to distract me but can find nothing. Looks like it's just me and my thoughts for a while… I can't imagine anything worse right now.

After about half an hour his plane finally lands and I start to feel those annoying butterflies flutter in my stomach. Any minute now he will come through those doors and everything will be ruined. He will know what I did and he will hate me forever.

Right as I am about to go crazy I see him. He walks out of the gate, his dark hair made messy by the long flight and eyes puffy from exhaustion. I catch my breath and realize just how much I had missed him.

After a moment of searching he finally spots me and that gorgeous smile I have missed so much lights up his entire face. I run toward him and fling myself into his arms.

"Oh Fang, I'm so sorry I've been such a jerk lately. I missed you so much and I…" Fangs lips crash into mine, interrupting my apologies. He lifts me off of my feet and I forget everything, knowing that this is where I always want to be—In Fang's arms.

"I have been waiting to do that since the minute you left." He sighs, his smile getting bigger.

Breaking away from his grasp I try to catch my breath. "Fang." I say seriously, reality crashing down around me. "Can we talk?"

His face drops. "Is this about why…" I nod and grab his hand. We head over to the food court and take a seat on one of the benches. People are rushing around everywhere but I am only focused on Fang.

I try to get my thoughts straight but I can't seem to decide what to say. " Fang, I screwed everything up." I try to look away but he grabs my chin, pulling me back

"I told you, I don't care that you broke up with me. I get it, you were trying to what was best." Fang says, a smile coming back to his face as if the problem was suddenly gone.

God! He has no idea what is going on! How could he? How could he possibly imagine that I did something as terrible as cheat on him.

I shake my head no and I feel tears well up in my eyes. No, will not cry. Not now.

Fangs smile disappears again and a look of confusion takes over. "Max, what's going on?" I can see Fang putting up his guard and I can't stand it anymore. I tell him everything that happened.

"A few days ago, after you told me the news, I called Dylan and told him I was sick and couldn't go out." I say, trying and failing to stay calm. "My dad ended up making me go shopping with Anne instead which normally I would never agree to but he said if I didn't, then you couldn't stay with me so really I had no choice…"

"Max you're sounding like Nudge, slow down." I ignore this interruption and continue.

"So I went out with Anne for the day and when I got back Dylan was waiting for me. I told him not to stop by but he did. Things got out of hand and things were said and right as I was about to make him leave he kissed me. I'm so sorry Fang it didn't mean anything though, I promise." I managed to say all of this without shedding a tear but now, seeing Fangs face emotionless before me, I can't help but cry.

"Did you kiss him back?" Fang asks looking into my eyes, begging me to say no. I try to respond but nothing comes out so I just nod. A flash of hurt and anger flashes over Fang's face before he can put up his wall again. I saw how much pain I caused him. I know how much I hurt him.

Fang turns away from me refusing to look at me anymore.

"Fang, please." I beg, "You have to know it doesn't mean anything. I pushed him away almost immediately and kicked him out. I haven't even talked to him since that day. It's you that I want to be with, not him." Fang softens a little at this but I know I am still not forgiven.

After a moment he turns around and finally looks at me again. "Why didn't you talk to me?" The pain in his voice is palpable and it breaks my heart.

I reach for his hand and although he lets me take it, he doesn't reciprocate. "Nudge told me I should wait to tell you in person and I knew I couldn't keep this from you if we talked. I knew I couldn't lie to you."

He pulls his hand away again. "Nudge knew about this?" I can tell he is angry now and I instantly regret telling him about Nudge's part in all of this.

"Yes, but I made her promise not to tell you until I could. She won't even talk to me anymore. I suppose I deserve that though." Now it is my turn to hide my face and turn away from Fang. How could I screw up this badly, this quickly? "I just didn't know what to do. You are the first person I have ever loved and the thought that I hurt you again broke my heart. I had to tell someone but I didn't know how to tell you. I'm sorry." Tears are now running freely down my face. I feel Fang stiffen beside me and I realize only too late what I had said.

"Max…" Fang says, his voice unsteady. "Did you just say that you love me?"

Great of course I spill the beans that I love Fang right before he breaks up with me. Because that's not uncomfortable at all. It's out in the open now and there is no use denying it.

Looking into his eyes I feel no shame in telling him the truth, only fear of what he will think.

"Yes," I say, gaining confidence as I go. "How could I not love you, Fang? You are the first person that has ever truly accepted me. You are kind, and romantic, and mysterious which I hate sometimes but it works for you. And you opened up to me in a way that I never would have expected. You flew across the country just to be with me for Pete's sake. I know it hasn't been very long know that you don't feel the same way especially after what I put you through but that's okay. I love everything about you Fang." Man it feels good to get that off of my chest. I know it doesn't mean much now but I'm glad that he at least knows how I feel.

Fang is silent for a minute as this bomb sinks in but then his expression changes. Now instead of with hurt or dismay, Fang is looking at me with eyes full of passion. He leans toward me and kisses me deeply. I close my eyes and melt into him, not wanting this moment to ever end… but then it does and Fang pulls sharply away from me.

"What makes you so sure that I don't love you?" Fang says coyly while raising an eyebrow. Damn that's sexy. I want to kiss him again. Instead I answer the question.

"Well for one thing I broke up with you. And lets not forget I kissed another guy." Fang flinched and glares at me. I realize too late that the question was rhetorical. Of course I have to ruin a somewhat perfect moment by being absolutely clueless. "Dang it, I'm sorry Fang. See I can't do anything right! I don't know how you could forgive me, let alone love me."

"Is that really what you think?" He asks and I nod. "Well I'm hurt…" Here it comes what I have been waiting for all week. Fang is going to break up with me.

"Wait, I know what you are going to say and I just need to get this off my chest first because I know I won't be able to say it afterward. I want you to know that I have never known anyone quite as amazing as you and I will miss you more than you could know." I feel tears rush down my cheek. I push them away. "Gosh, you turned me into a sap." I say trying to lighten the mood. "Please tell everyone that I love and miss them and I understand if they don't want to see me anymore either." I feel my voice start to give out but once again I power through it. I am about to keep going but Fang does something that stops me dead in my tracks.

He laughs at me. Here I am spilling my guts and he has the nerve to laugh at me? No way. Before I can stop myself I slap him. Hard.

"What the hell, Max!" He screams as I get up and stalk toward the exit. He gets up and chases after me. "Max will you wait a minute? Please?" He yells from behind me but I keep going. Soon he catches up and grabs me by the shoulder, spinning me around.

"How could you laugh at me?" I sneer before he has the chance to get a word in. "After all we have been through you sit there and laugh at my feelings for you?" I don't even bother hiding the tears now. Fang reaches up and wipes them away and his hand lingers under my chin.

"Max, I wasn't laughing at your feelings! I was laughing at the fact that you thought I could break up with you." Could he be serious? After all this he still wants to be with me? "I can't stand being away from you, why do you think I'm here? Sure, it hurts to see how things have ended up but it would kill me if weren't together. I love you, too Max."

Wait what? "But… really? You really love me?" I ask incredulously. In response, Fang moves in closer until we are mere inches apart.

It feels like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I love Fang and Fang loves me. I can't stop the smile that comes across my face. It feels like my cheeks my rip but I don't care.

I lay my head on his broad shoulder, taking in his familiar scent, and let out a sigh of relief. "Does that mean you forgive me?" I can feel Fang's shoulders shake as he laughs at me.

"How could I ever stay mad at you, I love you remember?" His arms tighten around me and I feel perfectly content despite the mobs of people rushing past us. "But I really don't trust this Dylan guy, Max. He isn't going to back off that easy. I know it sounds dumb but I don't want you seeing him again." Fang's voice is stern and I know that he means it. Dylan is the only friend that I have here though, how can I just leave that behind?

Then I remember the look of determination Dylan had before he kissed me and realize that Fang is right. "If that's what you want I wont talk to him anymore. I promise."

Fang kisses the top of my head. "Thank you, now can we get out of here?" He asks and we both laugh. We head off to baggage claim together discussing our plans for the day, holding hands the whole way.

Alright! I showed you mine, now it's your turn to show me yours ;) REVIEW! its fun, its easy, and all the cool kids are doing it.
