Hey guys, the fact that you've clicked on this story makes me immensely happy already lol. Just to clarify, these are song fics based on when Max and Fang split up in MR3, they're my interpretation of what the two would have been feeling when they separated. Each chapter will either be in Max or Fang's POV. The songs are in italics separate from the main text. The italics in the text are just supposed to show the importance of them to each character. Any constructive criticism you have, feel free to give. Now, please REVIEW and more will come! Disclaimer: JP owns Maximum ride, last time I checked I wasn't him. I also do not own the song, which belongs to No Doubt.

---------------------------
Max's POV:
I stood staring at you in front of me. Looking at every detail in your face, memorising them, in case you were actually going to follow through on what you'd just said to me. I was close to tears, they lay dangerously near the edge of my eyelids, threatening to fall and I willed them to stay put.
You didn't seem to be bothered about what was happening, as you stood there impassive, while my heart was breaking in front of you. I prayed for you to say you were joking, did you know that?
My breathing turned shallow as I focused all my energy into making sure I didn't crack in front of you. Focusing on making myself look as impassive as you were, putting on a front that I didn't care. Then you turned away without a second glance back at me, the girl you hated. I couldn't believe this was happening.
You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
Memories flashed into my mind of the time we'd spent together. Our late night chats, our talks, the feel of your arms around my body, the kisses, the contact. How would I live without them?
At Anne's, the jealousy I felt towards Lissa and the jealousy, I hoped, you returned towards Sam.
How you was always there for me. Ready to catch me when I fell…. who would catch me now? The beach, where our lips had crashed together, and the desperation of me wanting to give you my life so you'd survive.
At the E-house, the day we learnt how to fly, you mastered it before me and I was struggling really hard. Trying to overcome my fear, you took my hand and I flew, with you, by my side.
Our first meeting at The School when your cage crashed down beside mine and we'd stretched out our fingers to touch. The bond was instant, unbreakable, until now.
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end
The one and only person I can call my best friend. My second-in-command, my rock. Always there, supporting me, protecting me, fighting for me, was leaving me. I was losing everything, tears slid uncontrollably down my face, and again and again I wiped them away with my fists, growing frustrated that I couldn't stem the flow. I turned punching the closest tree, feeling despair that the physical pain in my hand couldn't begin to match the emotional pain I was feeling.
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real
Well I don't want to know
The frustration ebbed away, being replaced by anger. How could you leave someone who loved you so much? My heart squeezed painfully when I thought of you never flying beside me again. The boy who I grew up with, who understood me the most and vice versa, was going, and I didn't know if I'd see him again. I feel now that you not telling me would have been easier than watching you telling me without a trace of emotion in your eyes.
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
"I'm going my separate way." That's what you said; those 5 words meant more to me than they could possibly have done to you. Those 5 words told me you were leaving me, we were separating, there was no "we'll see each other soon", no "I didn't want it to be this way" and no "I love you". Those 5 solitary words killed me tonight, I don't know how I'll live without you. You didn't even have the courtesy to answer my five words: "Why are you leaving me?"
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Do you realise what this will do to me?
Do you care?
I saw nothing in your eyes tonight; they were dead, like me. I saw the way you walked away, nothing could have made you turn back and stop. All you wanted to do was to put space between us. Do you know how much pain I am in? Would you come back if you knew? Would you not go? So many questions swimming around in my head with no one to answer them. I didn't need anyone to answer them for me. The look in your eyes had said it all, you were leaving and nothing would make you stop. Especially not me.
Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
I lay awake on the rooftop, staring at the stars, being bitten by the uninviting cold. Nothing could take my mind off of you. The cold seemed irrelevant, the roof slates digging in my back unnoticeable, all I could think of was you.
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry
This is the end isn't it? How can I save the world now? Our friendship, our love has crumbled, and so will the world. You said once to me wild horses couldn't stop you being with me I replied with don't you mean erasers? We had laughed then. How comes you were letting Ari be the reason for leaving? You'd said you'd follow me to the ends of the earth. Why aren't you?
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
That night you kissed me. Did you mean it? Or do I mean nothing to you? Now I feel like I'm being repeatedly tortured, I might as well be back in The School.
It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me I can see us dying...are we?
I wish now I had never laid eyes on you. The fact that you are leaving me over something so petty shows how highly you rate me. On the scale, I wouldn't even make it up to 0. I shuddered in the night air, tears falling down my face once more, feeling more alone than ever before. You won't let it end this way will you? I wrapped my arms around myself, wishing they were yours. I can't believe this is happening.
