A/N: There are quotes in here from Maximum Ride books. I don't own those, or I don't own Memories by Within Temptation.

(Listen to the song while you read. ;])

Memories, memories, memories

In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind

"You'd ask me to come back, and I would, because I can't say no to you..."

There's no other way
I'll pray to the gods: let him stay

"'Don't ever leave me again,' I said in a tiny voice.
'I won't,' he promised into my hair, sounding most un-Fang-like. 'I won't. Not ever.'"

The memories ease the pain inside
Now I know why

All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears

Silence reminded me of Fang. His comforting arms wrapping around me. I needed that warm happy feeling. The silent moments where I needed Fang just had me imagining he was here with me.

Made me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life
I hope there is away
To give me a sign you're okay
Reminds me again
It's worth it all
So I can go home

Home is where the heart is. And my heart is with you, Fang. When you finally come back, I'll be at home.

All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears

"Fang! Take the one left of Angel!" I shouted over the noise of the 'droids, kicking the one in front of me. "I've got it." Gazzy replied, killing the last one. "Why didn't he help?" I muttered, looking up at my flock.

"Max," Iggy replied sadly. "He's been gone for two years."

Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All the memories I hold dear
Darling you know I love you till the end of time

"I looked up. 'What the heck are you doing?'
'Helping you change your mind,' he whispered, and then he leaned over, tilted my chin up, and kissed me."

I love you, Fang...

All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears...

"I'm glad our last time together was happy..."

A/N: Basically, the fic was all of Max's memories of Fang before and after he left. None of this was in present times, except for the last line, which was in the note Fang sent to Max at the end of FANG.
