My Hey so this is my first story I hope you like it, I do not own the Maximum Ride series all rights go to James Patterson.

Prologue

Hi my name is Max ( I'm a girl ) and I am 16 years old. I have no mother because she died of lung cancer when I was 12. I live with my father Jeb, who's an alcoholic. After Jeb ( I don't like to call him dad you will see why in a minute ) gets home every day from work he is drunk and that's when my hell begins. When Jeb is drunk he beats me and kicks me as hard as he possibly can. In this story you will get to witness my life with Jeb and how I met my boyfriend, who is the most amazing person ever. His name is Nick but you can call him Fang like everyone else.

Chapter 1

MAXS POV

Beep, beep, beep, beep- I slam my hand down on my alarm clock and hear it go silent. I wish I could lye here forever in my warm cozy bed. But that could never happen. So I get up and tip toe silently to the bathroom quiet not to wake Jeb ( my father ) . I quickly run and grab my towel and hop into the shower. When I get out I dry myself and get dressed into my dark wash ripped jeans from Hollister and my shirt that says "whatever" on it. I then pull on my purple hoodie and put a little bit of mascara on. What just because I don't like to dress up doesn't mean I can't wear a little bit of makeup for the first day of school. I tip toe downstairs and pass by Jeb passed out on the couch. I know now that I have to be extra quite. I carefully open the refrigerator and scan it for some milk. When I don't see again I make a mental note to go grocery shopping after school. YES I found some bread, I slip the bread into the toaster because toast is the only thing I can make without burning the whole house down. I take the bread out of the toaster and put some butter on it. I look at my watch and it says 7:25 shit I'm going to be late. I run out the door and hope into my car and drive to my new school.
