I do not own Maximum Ride.

I was just lying there thinking of her.

The way her hair smelled, the way she lead us, the way she was so strong, and the way she made me feel. She made me feel as if I could walk across water, as if I could do anything as long as she was beside me. I loved her. She was my world.

I don't know what time it was, but I was just lying there. It was probably midnight or around one in the morning. The grass tickled my skin. A nice calm breeze brushed my hair. I could smell the water from the pond.

I loved nights like these. I could just come out here and think with no one to disturber me. The night was cool and the air had that smell that brought back memories, memories of being on the run, memories of being with her.

I loved her so much and I wanted to tell her so badly, but I was afraid. You would never think that someone who faced down all kinds of horrible and tragic things like erasers and evil scientist would be afraid of falling in love. I would have never thought that either, until I actually fell in love. The truth is that I was more scared to tell her I love her than I have ever been in my life.

Another breeze blew, but a little stronger this time. I felt goose bumps go up my arms as I thought of her. I thought how she was the only one I will ever love and how I would treat her right and with the respect she deserves.

Time passed by and I began to slip into a subconscious state. I was awake, but I wasn't aware of what was happening around me. All that was going through my mind was how do I tell her. How do I say that you make me feel so absolutely wonderful to her?

I thought of her saying she loved me back and we should always be together. Then I thought of how sweet her voice was. How sweet it sounded when she said my name. How happy I felt when I talked to her and she talked back. We could talk for hours, talking about nothing really. We could talk for hours about our problems. We could talk for hours about anything.

I sat there and thought for hours. Then I felt someone sit next to me. They slipped there hand into mine.

"Hey," it was her she whispered hey into my ear. This made my heart beat faster.

"Hey," I whispered back. What did she want talk about or did she just want to sit with me tonight and look at the stars.

"We need to talk," she said with a little fright quivering in her voice. What was going to happen nothing good ever came after those words.

"Ok," I said in the strongest voice I could manage.

"I have loved you for along time. It's ok if you don't feel the same. I just wanted you to know how I felt and if you do feel the same way, then maybe things can happen," before I could say anything she kissed me. Her lips were on top of mine and my lips were on top of hers. This felt so right.

The kiss was short, but sweet and it had so much love in it, I wish it didn't have to end. I sat there breathless for a moment. I could hear her heart beat. It sounded like a drum. It was in perfect rhythm with mine.

"I love you too," I finally said after minutes ticked by and with that said we spent the rest of the night sitting in the grass by the pond and listened to the sounds of the night.

As you noticed I didn't put any names in, I did this for a reason. I hope you know the girl is Max, but the boy is for you to decide. Please review and tell me what you thought, also tell me if you liked the way I wrote it without names. If you didn't like it tell me and I will stick to stories with names in them.
