Fax: a tale of flight and fall

waiting. and waiting. and waiting.

Max POV

I did the tests and paced around the bathroom.
Tick, tock, tick, tock.
I looked at my phone. 30 seconds down.
Tick, tock, tick, tock.
1 minute.
Tick, tock, tick, tock.
1 minute 30.
Tick, tock, tick, tock.
2 minutes.
Tick, tock, tick, tock.
30 seconds to go...
Tick, tock, tick, tock.
I walk slowly towards the counter, dreading what I might see. On one white stick a small green × appeared. Oh god. What am I supposed to tell mum? Or fang, for that matter? Maybe it's wrong. I try to reassure myself. Cautiously I pick up the other stick. | one. || two. Well f***. My whole life ruined by one night. I'd have to tell fang at some point. But until then? I'm hiding it from everybody. Except angel, cos, ya know. Mind reader?

Yay! Shout out to TheNudgeChannel for keeping me motivated and not just kicking my tablet and yelling NOPE! NOT TODAY!!
