This is my first fanfiction. I don't own Maximum Ride or any of it's characters.

This takes place after Jeb gets them out of the school.

I was thankful to Jeb for getting us out of that horrible place, but I still had my doubts. I mean what whitecoat would take six valuable experiments and take them to live in Colorado in a house on the mountainside.

Everyone had their doubts. After being tortured in the School for ten or less years you tend to be paranoid. Fang would only talk to me because he thought we were being watched. Iggy moved around the house trying not to bump into anything but that is kind of normal for him. Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel were still kind of young so they weren't as paranoid.

Right now we were sitting in front of the TV watching a movie because Jeb wanted us to act as normal as possible. I was curled up against Fang on the couch with a blanket around my shoulders. Iggy sat in the loveseat with Angel on his lap and Nudge and Gazzy were lying on the floor.

"I still don't trust him," Fang whispered quietly in my ear.

"You might not trust him, but he still got us out of there," I whispered back.

"You might not like it, but he's up to something," Fang said angrily.

"Fine if you want to go back, I'm not stopping you. Just suck it up and forget about it!" I yelled.

I ran to my room and flung myself on my bed. I cried for I don't know how long until I finally fell into darkness.

I woke up sometime later to banging on my door. I opened it up to see Fang outside. "What do you want?" I asked. "I want to say sorry. I shouldn't of said that, but you know I have a hard time trusting other people than the Flock especially ones that used to be whitecoats," he said.

"I know I shouldn't of overreacted, but we're finally out of that place. We don't have to be scared of everything. We can finally be ourselves. I guess I just don't want all of this to end," I said.

"It's not going to end. We will stay away from the School and stay alive. Ok?" Fang asked.

"Ok."

Hopefully he wasn't wrong.

I know it's short but I hope you like it.
