Roommates (A Maximum Ride Fanfic)

...28...

Disclaimer: This is it. Second to last disclaimer. I will not miss it. I own only the plot.

Max POV

As the months went by Fang and my relationship grew and Ari was caught by the authorities. He's being tried for kidnapping on several degrees. I'm scheduled to testify at his trial in the upcoming months but I can't worry about that now. I'm headed up the stairs of my old dormitory to see Lissa. Fang said she wanted to see me, so here I was, about to knock on my old door. My fist hit the door three times and a few seconds later Lissa answered. She had on a tight t-shirt and jeans, which was quite modest compared to how she usually dresses.

"Fang said you wanted to see me?" I asked. She nodded and gestured for me to come in. I sat on the lumpy old couch and she turned towards me. It was silent for a few seconds before she spoke.

"Max, I wanted to say I was sorry. I was wrong for being such a bitch to you all the time. I never realized what I was doing until you were…. taken. I was a total slut and every time you would point that out I would deny it. I was wrong for thinking you were judge mental and a bitch. You gave me a chance and I brushed you off like a piece of dirt. I've started to change. I got rid of that crowd and have changed my ways. I dress to impress without showing off to much and I'm trying harder not to judge people before I get to know them. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want to start fresh and be your friend. Will you accept me?" She finished and looked at me. My jaw had gone slack as I stared at her. I realized that her makeup was much more natural looking and she wasn't showing her midriff in her top like she normally did. I stood up and walked around her. She was completely different. She watched me anxiously.

"Do you promise not to be such a bitch all the time?" I asked and half-smiled at her. She smiled back and nodded her head vigorously. "Then I guess we're friends." I said and she lunged to hug me. "Whoa, whoa, back up, homie. If we're going to be friends then the first rule is that there shall be no physical contact unless I'm the one who's insinuating it." She laughed and let me go, sticking her hand out instead. I shook it.

By the time Fang came to pick me up it was close to evening. Lissa and I had spent the entire day together, talking, laughing, and just hanging out like friends. In the car Fang asked me how it went.

"It actually went quite well. Lissa and I are friends now and she's not a narcissistic slut anymore." I said and he laughed at my description of old Lissa.

"Well, that's fantastic." He said. We lapsed into a comfortable silence.

At home the fireplace burned and created romantic lighting as Fang and I snuggled on the ground in front of the couch. He had wrapped a blanket around our shoulders and I leaned against him. After a while of staring at the only source of light I turned to look up at Fang. He was staring at me.

"What?" I asked and he smiled.

"The firelight makes you look even more beautiful." I blushed and swatted his arm as I looked away.

"Shut up," I said.

"No, really, Max. You don't have a clue how attractive you are, do you? You're the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and I hate it when I see other guys checking you out but I know they can't help it. I can barely contain myself. That's why I love times like this where I can just look at you all I want." He finished and kissed my forehead. My mouth dropped open.

"You think you get angry when guys stare at me? What about when girls stare at you? They like drool at your feet. You could have any girl you wanted at the snap of your fingers and you chose me. Me. I sometimes wonder what's wrong with you. I mean, you're perfect. Nice, sweet, intelligent, handsome, strong, gentle, sexy, and a great kisser. You have it all and yet you still choose to be with me of all people." I finished and stared up at him.

"I'm not perfect and anybody in their right mind would choose you over other girls. You're smart, funny, witty, clever, sweet, beautiful, sexy, and strong." He leaned down and kissed me. "And not to mention a fantastic kisser." He smiled against my lips and continued to kiss me. I tangled my hands in his hair and smiled against his lips. Our mouths moved with each other as we kissed and sparks exploded from wherever we touched.

Soon Fang was practically laying on me. My back was pushed against the floor and he was straddling me, his hands on either side of my head. His lips left mine only to attack my neck. I panted as he continued to suckle the tender skin.

"Fang," I said but he ignored me. "Fang," He continued to ignore me. "Fang!" I said and he pulled away from my neck, slightly annoyed. "I love you," I said and he smiled.

"I love you, too." He said leaned down to attack my mouth this time but I dodged him. "Maybe, we should take this to my room?" I asked and he nodded before picking me up and running to the master bedroom and closing the door.

Ari was found guilty and sentenced to 30 years in prison. Dylan and Sam were also found guilty but because Sam confessed he was only sentenced to 20 years and Dylan to 25 years. I sat outside of the apartment on the balcony looking out into the city. It was the time right before the sun rises when the sky is dark and light at the same time. I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist from behind.

"Why are you up so early, love?" Fang asked as he kissed the back of my neck.

"Just felt like some fresh air is all." I answered and turned into him. He nuzzled my neck a bit more before he looked out at the skyline with me.

"It really is something." He said as he studied it.

"Yeah, it really is." I said and turned to hug him. "Let's go inside." I grabbed his hand before tugging him along with me but not before glancing over my shoulder one more time at the sky.

A/N Yes, it's short but it's basically the last chapter. Next chapter is the epilogue and I think it will please most of you. :) Lissa is now Max's friend and Sam, Ari, and Dylan are in jail. Happy ending! Fang and Max are hopelessly in love and will be for the rest of their lives. The answer to the whole Max's experiment number thing was that if you looked at the letters on each number button on a phone spells MAX.
