Alright this my first Maximum Ride Fanfiction so don't be too harsh.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Maximum Ride Characters just the plot and maybe some new characters later on.
"Goodbye Max,"
Fang's voice echoed in my ears. He was the last one of the flock too leave me. Yes you heard me right, the flock left me. One by one they each found their parents. Well actually only Nudge and Fang went too their actual parents. Iggy went to live with his aunt while Gazzy and Angel went to live with their grandparents.
Now it was only me. Well, I guess it was Total and me. The two of us were sitting on a bench in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. I'm guessing that you think Fang lives in Phoenix, nice guess but no. He lives in Sedona, some small little hippy town in the rocks.
"Max?" Total's voice cam from beside me. "I know this is probably a bad time but…I'm hungry."
"Huh? Oh yea…Um, how about Chick-Fil-A?" I suggested, slowly coming out of the trance-like state I was in. Total simply nodded jumping up too his paws.
Both of us were silent the whole way to Chick-Fil-A. We had said very little the past few days. Neither of us had cried, not one little tear. Fang hadn't cried either, no surprise there, but Total and me? We should've been breaking down by now. I figured we were in denial.
Good guess Maximum.
Oh goody, you're back. Can't you just leave me alone?
The Voice had left me alone for the past week but now it had to come back to me at the worst possible time. I didn't have enough fight left in me to deal with it right now. After a few moments of silence I guessed that I had at least an hour of silence before the Voice came back too haunt me.
When we reached the Chick-Fil-A I ordered a bottled water for me and a 5 piece set of chicken nuggets for Total. Normally this wouldn't be enough food for us but my appetite was lost and I'm assuming Total's was too. We ate outside the restaurant, me sipping down my Dasani water, Total nibbling on a chicken nugget.
"Where are we actually going, Max?" The black Terrier asked, his voice almost accusing. "Because I know that we were never actually going to live with your mother."
"What are you talking about?" I asked, trying too sound innocent in my lie but failing miserably. Total obviously sensed that I was lying too because his stare quickly turned into a glare.
"Max….Do you know why I stayed with you?"
"Honestly, no." I replied, which was entirely the truth. Everyone knew that Angel was always Total's favorite. It had really torn Angel up even more when Total had decided too continue on with the rest of the flock instead of staying behind with her and Gazzy. She hadn't really thought about it until now because it just never seemed to matter.
"I stayed with you because I felt like after the flock was gone, I had no where to go. When Nudge disappeared I noticed how it affected you. I realized that you felt the same way that I did. Everyone else figured that you would be better off living with your mother, that you'd be happier when you had a place too call home but I knew that your home was wherever the flock was."
Glancing up at Total, I realized he was blurred. I was starting too cry. Oh great. "Total?" I asked. "Hug?" I asked, tears now streaming down my cheeks. Total bit down on his tongue trying to stop himself from letting out a big sob but it came out anyways. The black Terrier jumped into my arms, loud sobs escaping his mouth frequently. Burying my face into his fur and let the tears flow. Denial was over now it was just going to be depression with chocolate.
