Summary: Max is kicked out of the flock and is saddened by what has happened.
Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride or 'Emergency' by Paramore.
I still can't believe this has happened…this just can't be real. We were supposed to be together forever…
I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
Fang kicked me out of the flock, and no one even cared… Iggy, my little pyro. Nudge, my talkative little mutant. Gazzy, my little trooper. Angel, my little baby. Fang…Fang, what have you done?
If you thought I'd leave then you were wrong
'Cause I won't stop holding on
I feel as if someone's watching me. I don't care anymore, it's as if my life has already ended. If it was an Eraser, I wouldn't care. I would let them take me with them without a fight.
So are you listening?
So are you watching me?
No matter what will happen, I won't stop trying to stay alive. I'll do it for the flock, no matter what they might think of me now.
If you thought I'd leave then you were wrong
'Cause I won't stop holding on
Nothing seems right now…not even the sounds of the forest.
This is an emergency
So are you listening?
The trees around me look different, the leaves, the ground…everything…
And I can't pretend that I don't see this
Maybe it was my fault they kicked me out. Maybe I was leading wrong…I just don't get it…
It's really not your fault
When no one cares to talk about it
To talk about it
My heart may be broken for good now. I thought it was broken when I had to choose between Ari and Fang, but that was nothing compared to this. Well Fang, I hope you're happy now.
'Cause I've seen love die way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
I've seen you cry way too many times
When you deserve to be alive, alive
Flock, if only you could hear what I'm thinking, then maybe you'd take me back in.
So you give up every chance you get
Just to feel new again
This just doesn't feel right. Nothing will ever be the same, will it?
I think we have an emergency

Flashback:
"Max…" I looked over at Fang to see him looking at me.
Before I knew it, his lips were on mine. He kissed me and I kissed him back. I didn't know it could feel so good to kiss someone.
Too soon, the kiss ended, and I was left out of breath.
End flashback.
And you do your best to show me love
But you don't know what love is
And again, I felt as if someone were watching me. I wish they would just kill me now.
So are you listening?
So are you watching me?
Their faces when they kicked me out were expressionless. Their eyes were cold and angry. How I could pretend not to be hurt, I'm not sure.
And I can't pretend that I don't see this
Flashback:
I looked over at Fang and saw him looking at me. I quickly looked away, blushing. I looked back over at him and saw some pink in his cheeks. It was cute to see him blush.
I heard a giggle from my left and remembered Angel could read minds. Great…
End flashback.
It's really not your fault
When no one cares to talk about it
To talk about it
This didn't seem right. I was never told the flock would break apart. I always believed we'd always be together, not matter what. But maybe I was wrong, maybe this was all a dream and I would wake up any second, in a cave with everyone together around a fire that was long dead.
'Cause I've seen love die way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
I've seen you cry way too many times
When you deserve to be alive, alive
But I knew this wasn't a dream. I knew my heart would never fully mend, like I was hoping it would.
These scars, they will not fade away
I always kept quiet about me liking Fang, maybe that was the wrong thing to do.
No one cares to talk about it, talk about it
Maybe I was dead…now I wouldn't have to worry about anything. I looked up at the trees and blackness overtook me, dragging me into unconsciousness.
'Cause I've seen love die way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
I've seen you cry way too many times
When you deserve to be alive, alive
I woke up and saw the white ceiling, and heard the beeping of a heart monitor…
