Run, run from your problems
Fall, fall from the world
Jump, jump off the highest *cloud*
Don't, don't open your wings
My name is Maximum Ride, and I'm supposed to save the world. In case my story isn't known to you I'm sixteen and a mutant, if you want to be specific an Avian-Human Hybrid. My Flock is my family and my family is falling apart.
MAX POV
Two years ago the flock defeated Itex and escaped to my mom's house after that everything fell apart. Like always we couldn't stay in the nice, comfortable, embrace that Dr. Martinez's house had brought. I mean she even had freaking BEDS!! After leaving, the flock, well, Fang and I decided to head for New York City and maybe chill there for a couple of months. It's been two years. About a year ago Iggy and Gazzy went to the Grocery Store to pick up hot dogs for dinner, (By then we had a house, courtesy of my lovely card that we had found on our previous visit to the city.) Outside our apartment they were attacked by a street gang. Fang and I found them in the parking lot. Gazzy was dead by then and Iggy blames himself for not protecting his "little brother." Gazzy's death affected the whole flock. We each withdrew into ourselves more and more until we were barely speaking to each other except to prevent Iggy's frequent suicide attempts. Now it seems like the only one who can get through to Iggy is Nudge. Then, two months ago when I thought my life could not get any worse my voice came back. Yep, that annoying voice in my head that's NOT mine and it decided to tell me to watch my seven year old's Saturday night activities. Deciding it might go away if I obeyed I found out that my baby was doing drugs and generally indulging in activities on the wrong side of the tracks. (A/N Now lady's and gentlemen for the one and ONLY time, in this chapter at least, you may have your minds in the gutter. Please keep in mind that this is an almost-eight year old doing these things.) After that I finally snapped and enrolled us all in school. Only to have Fang fallen all over by all the girls in our grade except for me, the one girl that has always loved him.
FANG POV
After Max enrolled the flock in school, hoping to bring 'the family' together more, we just drifted apart faster. Iggy was ignored by everyone and labeled as 'the blind freak', Max had acquaintances but no friends and the only time guys ever looked at her was to try to get into her pants. As for me I was as ever 'Mr. Personality' which made it even more surprising when I won Homecoming King and was jumped by every girl and some guys who were even remotely my age. Except for the girl I was in love with, not that she would ever know, or care.
IGGY POV
Nothing matters, nothing matters, nothing matters… is the mantra I beat into my head day after day. School doesn't matter, having wings doesn't matter, explosives don't matter, and even the flock is starting not to matter. Gazzy's gone and it's MY FAULT!! It's all my fault… My little brother, who I failed to protect and he died because of it.
NUDGE POV
WHY. WHY! Why? When did my family start falling apart. Was it when Gazzy died? Was it when we started school? Or was it way before that, when we were chased by the last of the eraser's from Max's mom's house? I think Max started to lose it than, and without Max the rest of us are lost. She is the glue that holds us all together
ANGEL POV

I vague thought of the flock flashes through my head
I ignore it
The only thing I can think about is where I'm going to get my next joint.
-Another flash-
Max wouldn't be happy with me?
Who's Max?
She's my mom.
Who's Max? She doesn't matter.
YES she does.
No she doesn't, focus, more crack remember.
NO I NEED TO REMEMBER!!
FORGET IT!!!!!!!! FORGET HER! FORGET THE FLOCK!!!!!!!
The flock, my family, they're gone. Do they know what I'm doing? Do I know what I'm doing?
