A/N: Hey guys! Sorry this is late, I'll try to update regularly on Fridays and/or Saturdays. You can thank the amazing band Walk Off the Earth for the inspiration for this lovely chapter. Thank you all for the reviews! Would it be too much to ask for a few more? Even if it has nothing to do with the story, it would really make my day if y'all took the time to leave a completely random review!

Okay, in this chapter you find out what happened with Sam. Hope you all like it! And if you have the time, please check out the band Walk Off the Earth!

On with the story!

*One year previously*

"Max, hon. We have to talk," JJ said. "You remember your oh so faithful boyfriend? Look over at Starbucks."

I looked at her, like she had lost her mind, but complied. What I saw, shattered everything in my then peaceful life.

Sam, my boyfriend of 11 months, was playing tonsil hockey with the school's very own prostitute. I felt my face go blank, as I stood up.

"JJ, I'll be right back. If I don't come back, just meet me at my house in 20 minutes. Okay?" I walked away before she could answer me.

I coughed somewhat discreetly, and put on a sweet, innocent little smile. Sam and Kate broke apart. She looked smug, the selfish bitch. Sammy boy on the other hand, looked downright ashamed. Good.

"So Sam, guess what? I happened to be shopping with JJ, and to our surprise, we saw you having coffee with this whore. Do you know what's going to happen now? Do you? If not, this is for you." I punched him as hard as I could, knocking the lying traitor to the ground. I turned to Kate. She smiled shakily at me, trying to pull off a glare.

"Nice try, go spread your crabs to others, why don't you? Thanks," I snarled at her.

Her eyes bulged out a little, as she tried to think of a comeback. She had nothing. As Kate stomped away, she turned around and flipped me off. When she turned back around, she tripped over someone's purse, and fell face first into the fountain in the middle of the food court. When she surfaced, all her makeup was smeared, and we all got a good long look at her horrible acne.

After that lovely scene, I turned, grabbed my things and left the mall for home.

*********************Time skip to the house*********************************

"I can't believe he did that!" JJ was on a marathon rant, it had been well over an hour since all this drama had happened. This rant was turning into a JJ record. "That dirty, lying scumbag! How dare he cheat on your awesomeness?! That's it, he's going to regret all of this!"

I put my hands on her shoulders, and advised, "JJ, breathe. You're gonna pass out if you don't. I need you to not pass out, so we can plan some revenge here. I need your amazing ideas! I have nothing that is effective and lasting!"

JJ looked at me slyly, and got this evil glint in her eyes. "Oh don't you worry about that babe, I gots it covered. Now here's what we're gonna do."

She finished her recipe for the ultimate revenge, and I laughed at her epic evil genius chuckle. It is seriously something to fear.

"Alright, let's go find our supplies for Operation Get The Ultimate Revenge On That Cheating Lying Jackass, or GTUROTCLB!" JJ said, ecstatic that we were actually going to do it.

********************Time skip to REVENGE**********************************

"You have the key to his house, right?" JJ asked me in a low whisper. Currently, we were crouched outside Sam's house, waiting for him to leave for a family outing. Ha, now that's hilarious. He hated his family, and usually tried everything he could to escape what he called "torture". Idiot.

I nodded, and waved the key in front of her nose. "Yup, do you have the stuff?"

She grinned and shook the bag we had stuffed all of the supplies into. We heard the front door slam, as Sam stormed out of the house. He got into his shiny silver Camero, and peeled out of the driveway like a bat outta hell.

We waited until he had turned onto the main road out of town before we stood up, and ran to the door. I unlocked it, and JJ sprinted up the stairs, with me not far behind.

"Alright, this is it! You remember what you're doing? Good, now let's get to work!" Almost bursting with excitement, JJ scuttled off to the bathroom, holding neon pink hair dye, and deep tanning lotion. I, on the other hand, was holding a can of pink spray paint, and a can of purple. I went into his room, the walls painted white. Starting in the corner farthest away from the door, I began to paint phrases that should've never been said. EVER.

10 minutes later, his room was now pink and black, covered in shameful words, and incriminating evidence that he was both a heroin addict, and a male prostitute. All evidence was made up by yours truly, but I had to come up with something damaging. I smirked at my handiwork. JJ busted into the room, and burst out laughing.

"Ha wow! Well, he does deserve it. I know he's cheated on his other girlfriends too, so it's payback from all of them too. Now let's get out of here, before the Devil incarnate comes to his lair."

We double checked for all of our things, and the sprinted down the stairs, and out the door, pausing only once to lock up the door as it had been before.

As we ran down the street towards my house, my heart felt light, and carefree. I smiled at JJ, and she grinned back at me.

Once safe inside my house, and in my room, we collapsed on the floor, laughing our asses off.

"Dang, that was good! I can't wait to see what he looks like! I'm going to go get some food, do you want anything?" JJ asked me, sounding a little on the hyper side of life.

I shook my head and smiled up at her from the floor. She left with a little twirl, and flounced down the stairs with all her JJ style. I could hear her picking through the cupboards in the kitchen, and searching through the pantry. It's a good thing that Iggy, Gazzy, Angel and my mom weren't home, or we'd get questioned up the yin yang about our antics.

Around five minutes after JJ disappeared downstairs, I hear a noise outside my window, like a squirrel or bird scratching at the roof. My eyes flew open, and I saw a silhouette, black as night against the bright, white light of the moon. My window shattered, scattering shards of glass violently across the room. There was a thump, as the silhouette jumped into the room.

"Well, well, Max. I thought you were better than that. I thought you were too good for revenge, hmmm?" Sam's voice took on a sinister tone, as he stalked toward me. He reached down swiftly, grabbing at my throat, and lifting me off the floor and effectively cutting off any screams to JJ.

"The little mouse got caught, hmmm? What shall we do now, little mouse? Should we toss you out the window, or cut your pretty little face? Ahhhh, I know, we should play a little game. It's called, chase the mouse. You're the mouse, and I get to catch you." He laughed cruelly, and dropped me to the floor.

Sam took a step towards me, and kicked out at my stomach. His foot connected, and sent a spasm rocking through my body.

"Get up, you worthless bitch! You brought this on yourself. Get UP!" He spat at me, literally and figuratively. I scrambled up slowly, and stumbled out my bedroom door.

He walked heavily behind me, waiting for me to speed up. Probably getting impatient, he kicked the back of my knee, sending me tumbling down the stairs. Finally hearing the ruckus, JJ shot out of the kitchen holding a baseball bat.

Dimly, through the fluxuating darkness, I saw JJ threatening Sam with the bat, keeping him in one spot as she called the police. Not five minutes after she called, they showed up, and arrested Sam.

*Present Day*

Fang still had his grip on my arm, but it was a relaxed grip. I coughed a little, trying to break his hold.

"Are you alright? You were zoning, and I didn't want you to fall again," Fang looked at me with concern, then smirked.

"What is that smirk for? And I was reliving a horrible memory, if you must know. Now, if you don't mind too much, could you please remove your hand?" I looked pointedly at my arm, and he pulled his hand away as if it had been burned.

I looked ahead, my arm tingling a little from his touch. I started to sing quietly to myself, looking at the back of Iggy's head.

Halfway around the world

Lies the one thing that you want

Buried in the ground, hundreds of miles down
First thing that arises in your mind while you awake
Bending you til you break
Let me hold you now

Baby close your eyes
Don't open til the morning light
Baby don't forget
You haven't lost it all yet

Don't know what your made of
Til the one thing that you want
To come in with the dawn and suddenly changes
Monday, syndicate me, its everyone the same
But all we've lost to the flame
Listen to me now

Baby close your eyes
Don't open til the morning light
Don't ever forget
We haven't lost it all yet
All we know for sure
Is all that we are fighting for
Baby don't forget
We haven't lost it all yet

Someday when this is over
We mix it up, no answer
For now its when I hold her
We are closer, we are closer
We are closer, we are closer

Baby close your eyes
Don't open til the morning light
Don't ever forget
We haven't lost it all yet
And all we know for sure
Is all that we are fighting for
Baby don't forget
We haven't lost it all yet

We are closer
we are closer
(We haven't lost it all yet)
Now we are closer
(We haven't lost it all yet)
We are closer

I swiveled my eyes around, and found that everyone was staring at me, except my family. Nudge's jaw was picking up dirt, and Ella's eyes were huge. Fang was seemingly awestruck.

"What are you all staring at? Did I do something wrong? Is there something on my face?" I asked, feeling a little self-conscious. They shook their heads, protesting vehemently.

"No, no, Max! Your voice, it's… It's beautiful! You should sing professionally!" Ella said rapidly. Fang and Nudge agreed, nodded and looking at me like I was royalty.

Iggy smirked at me, and said, "See Maxie, we told you, now we're not the only ones! You should sing more often!"

I shook my head and blushed. "No, no, no… I shouldn't sing more often, and besides, I only sing for fun, not professionally. Sorry to disappoint though…"

A new voice chimed in, "Now who has the lovely vocal chords that produced that beautiful sound I heard a moment ago?"

A/N: Ha! Cliffy! Not much of a cliffy though… Pooh. Oh well!

Now, it's 1:23 a.m. on Turkey Day, so I should get some sleep now. Thanks for reading! Remember to review! If it's random and crazy, I don't mind, any reviews are welcome! Oh and also remember to check out the band Walk Off the Earth!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL!
