A Push in the Right Direction

Maximum Ride


Flashback

Max sat in the livingroom, off by herself. Fang walked in, in that usual stalker way he does. Walking up to Max, he quietly whispered in her ear so not to draw attention.

"Can we talk?" he whispered. Max looked up at him worriedly but agreed.

She followed him out of the livingroom and into the hall leading to his bedroom. Walking in he held the door open until she walked in and then closed it behind her.

Max took a seat on his bed and looked to him expectantly.

He sighed.

"I can't do this anymore." he said. She looked confused. "I love you." he continued.

Her eyes grew wide with shock.

"I can't take this acting like nothing is going on. I need to know max, I need the truth."

"Fang... please don't do this." she pleaded.

"Why? Why won't you answer me? Why do you keep blowing me off?" Fang asked his voice getting louder. Tears began to form in her eyes.

"Because..." she replied weakly.

"Because why?" he asked pleadingly. He dropped to his knees in front of her as the tears began to fall from her eyes.

"Max?"

"Because I'm not supposed to be happy!" she blurted out.

Fang looked at her surprised.

"What?" he questioned as if he didn't understand. She took a deep ragged breath.

"The school created me to destroy the world and then rebuild it into this so called "perfect" utopia. I was created to destroy, born to kill. Why should I deserve to be happy." she explained. "Everytime someone gets close, something bad happens to them. It's like I've got this storm cloud hovering over me at all times."

Fang just knelt in front of her, starring up into her tear stained face. The corners of his mouth began to curve into a smile and a light chuckle eminated from his chest slowly turning into laughter.

She looked at him slightly offended. Noticing this he brought her to his chest in a tight, comforting hug.

"Max." he started when his laughter subsided. "I love you more then anything in the world. In fact screw the world it can save itself. All that matters to me is you."

Max smiled at his heartfelt confession.

"I love you, too."

End Flashback

Max laid on her stomach scrolling through her emails. Coming to the end of the list she read the heading of one of them. Fang-alator7. Opening it she began to read.

A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty , he said... no .

She asked him if he would want to be with her forever ...and he said no .

boy grabbed her arm and said...You're not pretty you're b e a u t i f u l . I don't want to be with you forever . I NEED to be with you forever , and I wouldn't cry if you went away…. I'd…die….

Max smiled

Maybe happiness isn't such a bad thing after all.
