-1 If you left.

Fang glared down at Max, they'd just had another argument over him not resting after the latest eraser attack. He was so pissed off at her, she'd only been trying to help. Max watched him, she had tears running down her cheeks.. No one had been able to make her cry in ages but her sadness turned into anger "I HATE YOU!" She screamed, that's all it took for him to fly off.

I didn't mean it

When I said I didn't love you, so

I should have held on tight

I never shoulda let you go

I didn't know nothing

I was stupid, I was foolish

I was lying to myself

The littlies were on the other side of the cave playing a game. Max just let the tears and sobs out, it wasn't fair why couldn't she tell him that she loved him. The voice spoke up all of a sudden You shouldn't have let him leave. You need him. He needs you.

Shut up. If he needed me he wouldn't have left. Voice?

Yes?

This sucks.

I know, he'll be back.

I doubt it.

If he loves you he will be back. And if you love him you'll make sure he does. Max, I know you love him.

It was true Max did love Fang. But she couldn't help but deny it as she believed that he could never feel the same. She knew he loved her in a brother to sister way and now she'd lost that.

I could not fathom that I would ever

Be without your love

Never imagined I'd be

Sitting here beside myself

Cause I didn't know you

Cause I didn't know me

But I thought I knew everything

I never felt

She rested her head on her knees. She needed to look deep down and see what it was that had made her yell such hurtful things. When Fang was around she always knew that he'd have her back but know how was she meant to cope? She was all alone now, sure she had the flock but they were expecting to lean on her not for her to lean on them, that's why Fang was so important. So alone in the world.

The feeling that I'm feeling

Now that I don't hear your voice

Or have your touch and kiss your lips

Cause I don't have a choice

Oh, what I wouldn't give

To have you lying by my side

Right here, cause baby

That night on the beach when she'd actually plucked up enough courage and kissed him had lingered with her forever. He'd held her when she needed someone to hold her, he'd listened when she needed someone to listen to her. But she'd never done anything for him, was that why he was so damn angry at her? Cause she expected him to hold her and she never offered anything back? She had tried, she tried to hold her flock together, but now she couldn't. She didn't know what to do. When she'd had to give Iggy to his parents that had hurt her heart but now that Fang had gone. She'd beg for him to come back, she'd beg and Maximum Ride had never begged for anything.

When you left I lost a part of me

It's still so hard to believe

Come back baby, please

Cause we belong together

She needed her Flock and more importantly she needed Fang. Sure the Flock were her family but Fang he was like…Her other half the half that held her up when she needed it.

Who else am I gon' lean on

When times get rough

Who's gonna talk to me on the phone

Till the sun comes up

Who's gonna take your place

There ain't nobody better

Oh, baby baby, we belong together

She went around to where the rest of her flock was, it didn't feel like her Flock cause Fang wasn't there. Angel looked up at her and gave her a small smile, Max tried to smile back but it came out wonky.

I only think of you

And it's breaking my heart

I'm trying to keep it together

But I'm falling apart

Iggy knew she must've been upset cause he hugged her to his side, it wasn't the same. She was consumed by anger and started throwing things and yelling that it was all their fault.

I'm feeling all out of my element

I'm throwing things, crying

Trying to figure out

Where the hell I went wrong

She'd lost her support, she needed that or she collapsed. Like a building that's lost its first few floors, the floors that were its support the floors that held it up.

The pain reflected in this song

It ain't even half of what

I'm feeling inside

I need you

Need you back in my life, baby

She needed him.

When you left I lost a part of me

It's still so hard to believe

Come back baby, please

Cause we belong together

To hold her when she broke down.

Who else am I gon' lean on

When times get rough

Who's gonna talk to me on the phone

Till the sun comes up

Who's gonna take your place

There ain't nobody better

Oh, baby baby, we belong together, baby

To make sure she knew she had someone there for her.

When you left I lost a part of me

It's still so hard to believe

Come back baby, please

Cause we belong together

And to show her that he'd always be there.

Who am I gonna lean on

When times get rough

Who's gonna talk to me

Till the sun comes up

Who's gonna take your place

There ain't nobody better

Oh baby, baby

We belong together

She ran away down the winding paths and then it all got to hazy. She opened her eyes to see a motels roof and a concerned Fang laying on his side with his eyebrow raised "I like your singing and all but not when its 2 am; What were you dreaming about?"

Max smiled, it had all been a dream she moved closer and kissed him, he didn't need to know about that dream…It was more a nightmare to her. "Lets just say if you ever leave me I won't be very happy."

His eyebrow was still raised he didn't understand.

"Fangy go to sleep."

"Do.Not.Sing."

She laughed and cuddled into him.
