Life's not fair. I'm sure everyone who's over the age of two realizes that. But seriously my life has been the farthest from fair. From day one my life has stunk. Finally when something seems to be going all right something else happens. You see, me and my family/flock, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy and Angel, finally found a place to live. Everything for once was going fine.
But of course it didn't last. It just doesn't work that way for me. Fang and I had sort of, well, been going out. I love him and he loves me.
The perfect world.
But then for some reason that all changed. I'm not sure why but I guess maybe it was my fault.
Fang asked me to marry him.
And I said no.
Yeah, it all kind of went downhill from there.
You see, we're only eighteen and I wasn't sure if I wanted to be married yet. I'm Miss Maximum Ride, independent. Frankly getting married was too big of a commitment. I was scared. Yes, me, I was scared.
I tried to explain it to Fang but I don't think he understood. You should have seen his face. I thought he was going to cry.
But then he acted like it was no big deal and he was okay with it.
That was when we started arguing. Every time I spoke he criticized what I said. He never spoke to me unless he was belittling me.
It hurts. It hurts more than anything I've felt before. I don't think I can put up with it much longer but what can I do? I can't just leave the flock and I can't kick Fang out. Where would he go? What would he do?
I still love him even though he's killing me. I love him and would marry him if he would quit pouting and being so mean. He's even mean to the rest of the flock sometimes.
It's a no win situation on my side. Fang could fix this but he doesn't. Does he not realize what's he doing?
I've resigned to live single my whole life.
A knock on my bedroom door made me jump.
"Come in," I called as the door opened. Fang walked in and shut the door.
"Max," he started. He shook his head and dropped my gaze.
I didn't know what to do or say. I was praying that he didn't come to say goodbye.
"Max," he said again. "I'm sorry. I-I don't know. I don't know what I've been doing these past months. I love you but…" He stopped and looked up at me.
Tears welded up in my eyes. Fang came forward and wrapped his arms around me. He buried his face into my hair and his shoulders shook with sobs. My own tears started to fall now and we held onto each other sobbing.
Fang got a hold of himself first. "I'm so, so sorry, Max."
I looked up into his chocolate brown eyes and said, "I'll forgive you as long as you promise you won't ever do that again."
"I promise. Oh, Max, I promise."
I smiled and he smiled in returned, brightening up my world.
"And," I said, "if you'll ask me to marry you again."
"Oh, Max," Fang said softly. He bent his down until his lips were inches from mine. "Max?"
"Hmm?"
"Will you marry me?"
"Yes," I said breathless.
Fang closed the gap between our lips.
Maybe my life wasn't so bad after all.
My life's for two.
