Dear Fang,

You are an idiot.

You are a downright, undeniable idiot.

You were there the night at Dr. Han's place. But, then again, you weren't. You were dead (or, almost, anyway).

You didn't hear the flat lining of the heart monitor pierce through your ears, reminding you that part of your family was gone, dead.

You didn't hear Max scream, or her stone cold voice as she told us to kill every scientist in that freaking lab.

She was CRYING. For YOU.

She slapped your face and pulled your hair and screamed at you not to leave her, and at that moment, she told your dead self that she loved you, and you couldn't die without knowing that.

You should have seen her when she read that letter, out loud, to all of us.

We were all crying when she was finished. Even Iggy.

Her voice faltered so many times throughout the god awful letter that I couldn't count.

After that, all she did was curl up in a ball in her bed, and she didn't shed a single tear.

Cause it hurt that bad.

You broke Maximum Ride.

That's because she can't take that kind of pain.

Broken Ribs? Big deal.

Broken anything? Not a problem.

A bullet? Has it ever stopped her before?

But a broken heart?

Sure with her mom, and everything, that was heartbreaking.

She trusted her mom.

But not nearly as much as she trusted you.

She trusted you with her life, but more importantly, our lives. She's a wee-bit protective.

She's never had someone so close to her heart betray her like this.

This is new to her.

Remember the time when you kissed on the beach?

Or when Ari almost killed you?

And how jealous you were when Max went out with Sam?

And when our flock re-united on that beach, after that whole Ari-vs.-Fang thing?

How about in that snow bank in Antarctica, or in the hurricane?

And in the Submarine, when Max was risking her life for Angel, and you two kissed?

Or in Chad, when Max was so enraged with that whole prophecy-thing?

Look, Fang, I know you are trying to get rid of Max, and make a new life with Max 2 (Maya, whatever. And don't say she's different; she was genetically engineered that way, to be Max's replica, and it be like calling any of us bird kids 'normal' or '100% human', lies.)

But why?

You and Max went through so much.

Yet you drop her like a sack of flower because cause your scared for her life?

Yeah, sure.

I can't count how many times she's been so close to dying I almost started writing her obituary.

And don't even get me started with the whole Dylan thing.

Dylan stayed by her side, hugged her when she needed to be happy, and, most importantly NEVER LEFT HER.

Once again, folks, that's Dylan, winning the award for 'Never leaving Max.'

Truth is, you and Max are SO much better as a couple, as opposed to Max and Dylan

Or you used to be, I guess.

Sorry to dump this all on you, Fang.

You just ... made me really mad.

I hope Star, Kate, Ratchet, that Starfish kid, and Maya are enough for you, because I'm positive that unless you and Max get married, the Flock is to hurt to be like 'Hey, Fang, we love you again!'

Yeah. You and Max getting married.

I keep trying to imagine it, but I can't picture Max in a wedding gown.

And I can't picture you staying.

I'm sorry, Fang. I just don't trust you anymore.

When Max trusts you again, then I will.

But come on.

Seriously?

Like that's going to happen.

And did you even realize that when you asked Max to meet you in 20 years, she would be 35?

Whatever.

Love,

Nudge

(With help from Iggy, Gazzy, Angel, a little bit of Dylan, and a whole lot of Max's feelings)

P.S. If you're reading this, Max 2/Maya, that purple streak means nothing. You're still a replica of Max.

P.P.S. That's was Iggy^^^ but I, Nudge, totally agree.

P.P.P.S. Don't bring this up EVER again. Max doesn't know. I'm sure heads would roll if she found out how vulnerable we made her.
