"Here," Dylan said as he passes me a take-out bag from Wendy's. He stood watching as I opened it up.
"Um, thanks." I said. I was sitting on my bed like I had been doing for the last 4 days, pouting. But what did you expect me to be doing, the guy I was in love with left me cause he thought it was the right thing to do. Fang left me. I felt my heart break, again. After all we had been through it all together and finally when we get to having a relationship he decides to leave.
"Geeze Max," the sound of Dylan's voice brought me back to reality, "when are you going to realize that Fang's not coming back and he doesn't need you right now, but we do! The flock needs you, I need you. So get off that stupid bed and be a leader for pete's sake!
"You know I really want to punch you right now," anger filling my voice.
"Well then do it, punch me. If that's what it takes to get you to finally stop laying around then do it!" he was standing only a few feet away from my bed so all it took was jumping up and off the bed for me to connect my fist with his perfect face. He didn't even flinch, but I saw the little bit of pain it had caused him in his eyes. Man, I had lost my touch, that should have hurt him more.
"Better?" he asked with real concern. I thought about it and i realized I did feel better, huh going to have to remember that.
"Yeah thanks, sorry about that." Finally relalizing I had just hit one of the flock. Crap.
"No worries, you needed it and I also think you need to come flighing with me, it would do you some good." I saw a small smile grow bigger as I finally relented.
"But first let me check on the flock." I finally remembered that I hadn't given any thought until this moment that they might have stuff worring them about Fang leaving, too.
"No need they're fine," Dylan said finally relaxing, " They know how much you loved him and they understand. Nudge is in her room watching some teen drama, Gazzy & Iggy are working on a new kind of bomb that Gazzy thought of, Total & Akila are still on their honeymoon, & Angel is worried about you, but she fell asleep an hour ago with the promise of a few more. So see, they are all alright so I don't think they would mind you getting out for a little while, in fact I think they would incourage you to."
"Alright, but only for alittle while." I knew that it was going to take more than flying to get me back to my old self again. So off we went completely forgetting to eat. We saw Gazzy & Iggy as we flew over the woods.
"Max! Hey!" Gazzy yelled up to me as we waved to them.
The wind blew my hair as we flew through the mountains, the ice melting away as the sun rose in the sky.
"Um Dylan, I need to get something to eat." I said at the same moment that my stomach grawled and my wings started to give out (no breakfast remember).
"Max!" Dylan exclaimed as I started to drop altitude.
"Not good. Dylan I'm going to need you to hold me up for a few minutes as we look for a place to eat," he shook his head as he flew right beneath me ready to check me if I fell," alright im going to bring in my wings." We were only a few yards from the trees under us,So this wasn't going to be easy. I closed my wings and as Dylan flipped over to catch me, I should have known this wouldn't work but stupid me I didn't think about that part so I dropped like a rock right onto him, and down we went, Hard. One moment we were flying over the trees and now we were hitting them as the ruff ground grew closer & closer. We were bunsing around hitting branches and then it all went black.
'Max! Max wake up, Max!" my eye lids fluttered open to see Dylan crouched over me with dried blood on his face.
"what happened?" I asked as I sat up, my stomach grumbled and then I remembered, "We fell didn't we? Geezes! Im so stupid whats wrong with me I knew that was dangerous why didn't I remember that!"
"Easy Max it wasn't your fault, its alright, but we might want to get you some food cause we need to be heading back."
"How long?" I asked as I took in our surrondings, trees, trees, & more trees, great.
"Three hours, angel is probably up by now & also probably frecking out." Even better.
"Well we had better get going then." I said as I started to get up off the ground.
"Easy Max, you don't know how hard you hit your head yet, maybe we should wait."
"No," I said, "I have a better idea. You go back to the house round up some grub and then get you behind back here as fast as you can. Got it?"
"Max! you can't just ask me to leave you when you just woke up from falling a 100 feet or more!" Dylan seemed really angry at that idea, like I had said it just to upset him.
"That wasn't a suggestion, it was a order so if you don't want me to kick your butt right now than I would hit the sky, quick." I said it with enough authority to make the whole flock start running for the hills if they had been there, but all it seemed to do for Dylan was make him angrier and frown at me. But just like always, I got my way and he hit the sky without another word. So there I was along with Dylan fading away into the night sky headed towards the house most likely, so I headed in that general direction.
