Loneliness

Disclaimer: I do not own anything but the plot. James Patterson owns Maximum Ride and The Flock. I only own some odd T-shirts and some hot chocolate. Enjoy!

Fang's POV:

Gosh. It's been a very hectic week. Two days ago, Max and I were fighting side by side at the last Itex corporation left. Now, we were all sprawled out on one of Dr. Martinez's three couches. I didn't think I would live to the day. More importantly, we now know where all our parents live. While we were shutting down everything in the Itex place, we found some old documents. They told each one of us where our parents were living currently.

That brings me back to where I'm currently am now. Shocked. I never thought I would ever get the chance to see my parents. Max thought that the best place to go to sort everything out, was her mom's place. I didn't doubt her. She was rarely ever wrong. And I thought that this would be a good resting place to stop at, because, you know, we just saved the world and all. So, yea, I didn't doubt her.

"Hey Fang, could you pass me the popcorn?" Angel asked me, shaking me out of my thoughts.

"Yea. Here." I said.

"Thanks." Said Angel, as she shoved the popcorn into Nudge's mouth. She had been talking non-stop for the past half-hour. I didn't blame her though, we were going to see her mom tomarrow and she was practically bouncing off the walls with excitement.

Nudge POV:

"OMG! I'm going to meet my mom tomarrow!" I said to no one in paticular.(For about the forty-eith time now.) My dad died four years ago, but I was still going to meet someone who was actually blood related to me! "I'm-"

Eating popcorn? Oh, Angel. I had been going off like this for about half an hour now. I guess I should stop talking now.

Iggy POV:

Wow. I don't think Nudge will ever stop talking. I am going to miss her though. She is part of the five Avian-Americans I call my family. I'll be sad when she has to leave us. I just hope she isn't crushed by her family, like I was. (They tried to turn me into a side show freak.) I guess I should know by now, that things never stay the same, for very long.

Max's POV:

Sob, sob, was what was going on in my head the day before I knew Nudge would leave us. I had a fake smile on for Nudge, but inside, I was practically pouring with tears. I didn't know how much longer I could take it, with Nudge bringing it up every five seconds. This was the three-hundreth time she brought it up and I could feel tears starting to swell inside me. I knew I had to do something to get out that room. The leader could not be seen crying.

I quickly stood up and said, "Alright everyone, time for bed."

"Good idea Max. I don't want my mom to see me having bags under my eyes!" Nudge told me.

That was it. I couldn't possibly take it anymore. I bolted up the stairs and into my room. Silently thanking my mom for giving me a lock on my door, I locked the door, put my mind blocks up, (So that Angel couldn't hear me and tell Nudge.), and collapsed on my bed.
