Disclaimer: I do not, I repeat do not own Maximum Ride. So there now, that you know that on with the story.
this is the version of the song I used. I didn't add the talking part in the beginning.
Max's POV
"For all you people on this rainy Thursday night listening to the radio, how are you doing," I said to the black microphone in front of me.
It had been five years since Fang left. I have a job at this local radio station, 102.2.
My night show is called Midnight Max. I play whatever my listeners tell me to play. They will call me and ask for a request or dedication and then I'll play that song. Sometime they will ask me to pick a song. When that happens I'll listen to their story and pick a song that goes with the situation.
The flock and I, except for Fang, live in a five bedroom house in Atlanta, Georgia.
I'm 20, Iggy is 19(remember he is 6 months younger), Nudge is 16, Gazzy is 13, and Angel, my baby who isn't a baby anymore, is 11. They all are growing up so fast.
Iggy has an internship at some science lab. I'm not sure what he does. Nudge is in a specialty high school for technology and computers. She is also top of her class. Gazzy and Angel are in middle school and they also get the top grades. I'm so proud of all of them.
I guess we are doing great, but I wish Fang was here with me to watch them grow up.
Flashback
I woke up because I felt a gust of wind hitting my cheeks. I did a quick 360and then, looked up to the sky to see Fang flying away. There were two notes in my lap.
Dear flock,
I'm sorry I'm leaving, I have to. I love you all.
Fang
Classic Fang short and simple and he didn't write anymore. The second note was to me.
Dear Max,
I love you more than anyone can possibly love someone. I care for you more than I care for myself.
Love Fang
End flashback
I still keep those notes with me at all times. I even have them in pocket, right now.
You, probably think I hate Fang right now, and never want to talk to him ever again, but I would do anything to see him or talk to him again. I love him and that's all there is to it.
"The lines are open for anyone that wants to call me," I cooed into the microphone.
The broadcasting room just got renovated two weeks ago. The hardwood floors are made of maple and the walls are maroon, which makes it very dark in here. We got new equipment too.
"Let's see who is on line six, tonight. Hey, you are on the air with Max. What can I do for you tonight," I said with fake enthusiasm.
" I want you to pick out a song for my best friend. He left me about a year ago without an explanation. I miss him so much and I even think I love him," the girl cried.
" What's your name and how old are you," I questioned?
"Roxanne and I'm 16," she sniffed
"Well, Roxanne I think I can do that. What's his name," I soothed trying to calm her down?
"Josh" she giggled.
"Okay I will play a special song for Josh. Have a good night," I swallowed the lump in my throat. I didn't want to be crying in front of all my listeners. I pushed the play button for Where'd you go by Kayiel and Holly Brooke.
It's been 9 months almost a
Year since you left that day
I probably counted every second
That's been ticking away
Oh, Fang why'd you have to go away. I've been counting every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every month, and every year since you left.
I remember the way
You used to crinkle
Your face when you
Were playing around
I still remember how your face would crinkle when we would joke around. You smile would light up my whole world.
Fang's POV
I was driving through Atlanta, Georgia. It was to quiet so, I turned on the radio. I missed the first part of whatever song was playing.
We'd ride together at night
Our hands interlaced
I remember the rays of
The moon lit up your face
And I remember the way
That every finger was shaped
Max and I would fly at night, just the two of us. We would find a lake of something near camp and look at the stars. The moon would always light up Max's face perfectly. I would take her hand and I still remember how every one of her fingers was shaped.
We were one, and I'll never
Let that memory fade, I'm
Never going to forget those nights
I won't ever forget the nights Max and I spent together. Max was my other half and I didn't notice that until it was too, late. We are one when we are together.
Max's POV
The song continued to play. I stared to miss Fang even more than I did before.
Cause I know you're
Off doing your thing
I'm happy you're happy
I know Fang is off doing what he wants to do. I just, hope he is happy. As long as he is happy, I'm happy.
Fang's POV
I still think you're
A beautiful queen
See that dude on your arm
I could have been
That man, been that guy
Max is still a lovely, beautiful, and gorgeous person to me. She probably has a boyfriend and to think I could have been there that guy on her side.
And do so many things
I never got to do
So, i've fixed my ways
Looked past this regretful pain
I'm ready for the next
Chick I date I hope my
First love wasn't a waste
I've fixed my ways and I'm going to find, Max. I have looked past all the pain I've felt and I'm ready to date again, but hopefully it is Max that I date, next.
Max's POV
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever
Since you've been gone
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
seems like it's been forever
since you've been gone
Fang, I miss you so much. Where did you go? I need to know why you left me. I need you so much, right now and so, does the flock.
Fang's POV
And I won't let my
Past haunt me forever
That's why I'm improving
Growing stronger, for the better
I'm trying to shorten the
Gauge on this temper of mine
Cause every one that
I meet is incredibly nice
I'm forgetting my past and changing my ways. I'm growing stronger and shortening the gauge on my temper. Every one that I meet is so nice and I don't want to hurt anyone.
I feel so guilty cause when
I was in pain and stress
Surrounded by lies and
Changed into a an angry wreck
You helped me, from
Loosing my future
Max always knew how to calm me, when I was I mad she would help the pain go away. she made sure I wouldn't kill myself from the stress of being on the run.
You got me where I am
And now, I feel stupid
I let you down as
A lover and friend
Max got me where I am today and how, do I repay her, and I leave her. I wasn't what she needed. I wasn't good enough for her and I let her down as a friend and potential lover.
I didn't give enough of
The joy I wanted to give
Cause I was bogged down
By so much irrelevant crap (I edited it)
I didn't bring the joy I wanted to bring to the flock. I was bogged down by my thoughts. I felt like I was making every one depressed and so, I left.
And for that, myself
I'll never forgive
In all sincerity
I'm sorry if anything else
In memory of
Your benevolent help
Instead of wishing
You were here, I
Wish you the best
I'm never going to forgive myself for leaving the flock and Max. I'm sorry for leaving Max and if I never see her again, I wish her the best in life.
I know whatever
You do you'll succeed
Hold ya head…
I know whatever Max does she will succeed. She will keep her head up and do what has to be done.
Max's POV
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever
Since you've been gone
I miss you Fang. Where did you go?
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever
Since you've been gone
The song ended and I pushed the red button to turn on the microphone.
"That was Where'd you go," I said.
"I'm going to open the phone lines again. You can tell me whatever you want to tell me.
You're listening to Midnight Max," I hummed into the microphone.
Fang's POV
The song ended. Then the person running the show came on. She sounds just like Max. Wait, it is Max, she is has her own late night show. I'm not surprised; she always did like staying up late.
Finally, I have found Max, I need to find the station's studio. Where is that phone book? Ah, here it is, okay, let's see, 1203, George, avenue. I have to get there, and fast.
Max's POV
The phones are still ringing, but I can't bring myself to answer any of them.
That song is still playing in my head.
I did try to date at one point, but I couldn't picture myself with anyone , but Fang. My heart belongs to Fang, and only Fang.
"Okay let's see who is on line ten. Hello, you're on with Midnight Max. What's going on in your life," I said with on emotion what so ever, in my voice.
"Max, it's me Fang," Fang whispered.
"F-F-Fang, is-is it r-r-really you," I stuttered?
"Yes Max, it really is me," Fang said shocked.
"Oh my God, Fang, I missed you so much," I cried happily.
"Max I've missed you, too. Max will you marry me," Fang questioned?
I'm too, shocked to answer. I want to scream yes, but I can't get the words out of my mouth.
The door open and Fang came in holding a bouquet of roses and a small black ring case, with a tiny diamond ring in it.
"So, will you Max, marry me," he asked walking to me?
I got up and walked to Fang. I wrapped my hands around his neck and he didn't even hesitate to hug me back.
"Of course I will," I partially shouted. I looked up at Fang and I kissed him long and hard and he kissed back with as much passion as I did.
After, what seemed like a year we broke apart.
"You know Max, you're still on the air," Fang laughed. I walked back over to the microphone.
"Okay, my faithful listeners, I want you to be the first to know that I'm getting married," I said trying to gain my composure. I put another song on and walked o0ver to Fang again.
"You know Fang the first thing we have to do is tell the others you're here and that we are getting married." I said. Fang and I stood there for a few minutes in silence, then we looked at each other and started laughing.
Okay, peeps that is my favorite oneshot I have ever written. This is the first time I ever wrote something taking place in the present, so, I'm so sorry if I switched it to past then present again.
I'm also going to update High School love sometime today of late tonight. It depends on how much time I have.
Please review. I want to know what you guys think of this oneshot.
