My name is Maximum Ride, and my mind was crawled over the idea Fang had suggested. Today we decided to make a birthday day, and me, Iggy, and Fang were all turning 18. Ya totally normal day, having a birthday party, everything is good. Nope, as we were eating cake Fang pulled me aside. I thought I was another one of his romantic gestures but as we walked through the trees of are rainforest paradise, I knew I was wrong. He told me he had decided to leave the island, see what happened to the normal world, and leave the mutant island. His black hair was pulled away from his eyes so I could see his face, he was being deadly strait forwards with me.
"Nope, I don't think so, honey," I crossed my arms and turned around, jutting me chin out and stomping off. I could hear him being pissed at my stubbornness but I needed to think about this. We had spent a year on this island, not knowing what happened to everyone else. I was ready to leave, I had been thinking about it for months. The only think stopping me was the kids, I couldn't put them through anymore they deserved to live a normal mutant bird kid childhood.
I started to run, until I picked up enough speed to fly. Then I jumped into the air, wiped out my wings and started to sore upwards. My body tingled and I felt whole, I could see the trees from out here. The blur ocean, and some land in front of the setting sun.
"Max!" I almost fell out of the sky, he was the only one who could sneak up on me.
"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" I yelled over to him trying my best to avoid his eyes, he would know that I wanted to go too, he would know. Even know I flew faster his hand grabbed my shoulder sending a tingle down my spine.
"Come down and talk" he said.
"No, I like it up here" I said breaking away from his grasp. But soon I flew down, I could tell he knew I wanted to come. I had to avoid saying it. Think! How do I do that, I already ran away, I can't kick his ass, SHIT! What do I do? As I landed an idea popped into my head, perfect. He sat down on a jungle tree branch and looked at me.
Before he could even speak I jumped forwards, pressing my mouth to his, a spike of surprise made him jump, but soon his hand was on my hip pulling me close. I barley ever kissed him these days, so it took me a few seconds to remember to breath, how to move my head.
But then he pulled away, "Max," his breath was somewhat shaky, but before he could talk again are lips where moving agents each other again. I felt his tongue against the inside of my cheek, and the kiss grew more violent. He bit my lip and pulled away, my lower lip still in-between his teeth, then he let go. He now was prepared, putting his hands on my shoulders when I tried to jerk back to his lips.
"I know you want to come, so let's go tomorrow night," he was bighting the inside of his cheek, now squeezing me shoulders. I had to stay but I didn't want to, I wanted to see what the world was like behind my naïve wall.
"What about the kids, they need are flock to stay together," but he had already considered this, I could tell by his quick response.
"But we also deserve to know what's going on, they need to live there life. It's time to leave.
"Fine," I said. "But what should we do tonight?" What about the family, Iggy, Gassy, Nudge, Angel, Ella and my mom. I couldn't pretend I wasn't leaving them all. But he smiled at me, a rear smile.
"Tonight is for us," he said, my brain suddenly went into lock down. I can't, I can't.
"Okay, us." I did.
