Angel poked her head in the door." Max, the Flock's calling a meeting. You need to come downstairs. I looked up from my book. "Yea, sure, Ange, be down in a sec." She left and I hopped off of my bed. When I got downstairs, everyone was there. Like, everyone. Yeah, the Flock was there, but mom, Ella, Dylan, heck, even Jeb although he looked pissed. Well, something is definitely wrong here. "Max, you know we all love you very much, and we want the best for you, and-" "Cut to the chase." I interrupted my mom. She rambles when she's nervous. Everyone was uncomfortably silent. " We all took a vote. We decided that it would be easier for you to focus on your own. We're kicking you out, Max." Fang whispered, not looking me in the eyes. "WHAT!" Then, all hell broke loose. Jeb, Mom, and Dylan were screaming for people to calm down, I was screaming at everyone, confused as to why they would kick me out, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, and Gazzy were screaming at me reasons for me to leave, and Angel was just screaming for no apparent reason. When we had been screaming for about an hour, I finally gave in. "Fine! You want me to leave, then I will, but don't forget who took care of you for all those years, saved your ungrateful asses countless times, and was the best damn mom or friend or girlfriend you ever had." With that I looked back at everyone's tearful up faces and ran out the door. I spread my wings and flew as fast as I could out of there. I didn't know where I was going nor did I care. I just wanted to get away from there ASAP. Eventually, I hit a tree and tumbled down to the ground. I was bleeding heavily, and my head hurt like a bitch, but it was ok. I just want to die here. My family, bio and not, just disowned me. I blacked out afterwards, but not before I saw a white cat.
When I woke up, I saw the same white cat sleeping next to my torn, injured wing. Except it wasn't injured anymore. Neither was any other part of my body, just my clothes were dirty. I decided to go down to a lake I saw last night. When I remembered last night, I had to fight not to cry. I hopped up and jumped in the lake. And get this. The cat, which was startled out of its sleep by my movement, followed me. I checked its collar. It didn't say anything, but The demon cat is watching…Always watching. It will follow, no matter what. Under closer inspection, the cat had short, hair and red eyes with gold pupils. Creepy, right.
Then, I heard a truck start. I turned and saw a boy my age staring at me. "Take a picture, it'll last longer." I snapped. He was awoken from his trance then. He had been staring at my wings. Well, crap. He held out his hand. "Jason." He, er…uh, Jason said. "Max." I said, ignoring his outstretched hand. "Where's town?" I asked. Yes, the great, almighty, indestructible Maximum Ride, asking for directions. Desperate times call for desperate measures. He smiled. "Come on, I'll take you. I's goin' up to town anyways." Long story short, if I didn't have wings, I would have a motorcycle instead. When we got to town, he opened his mouth and said," MAX, GET UP. IT'S 1:00."
"¿Qué diablos te pasa perra? cállate la boca! Su un idiota. ya lo sabes. eres una perra, imbécil inmaduro!" I screamed as I sat up, drenched. Jason was laughing. "Stop laughing. You just poured icy water on me!" I screeched. He ran as I tried to tackle him. He escaped, so I threw on a red bikini top, black, leather, short shorts, and a jacket to match. Under my shorts, I had on some red swim shorts, which were shorter than the shorts over them. "Lets go swimming." I said, as I slid down the banister. It's been four years since that day. Jason and I live in a beach house together. We bought a piece of the beach, secluded by a cliff on three sides and the ocean on the other. "Ok. Lets call Jo Jo and Seph." Jo Jo and Seph are some friends from school. Yes, I said school. I go to UC Dolf. I'm on every sports team there, and am the captain of 23 of the 24 sports teams. (A/N IDK if UC Dolf exists. Lets pretend it is on the coast of Florida. KK?) All of my friends know about my "little secret", but no one else does. Any way, Jase and I hopped on our motorcycles (he bought me one because I kept taking his) and rode to the cliff. We ripped off our top clothes to be left in our swimsuits and dived the thirty-foot drop. We swam up to the shore and saw a group of people surrounding someone. I stepped closer and said," Hey. Who are you?" I guess they finally acknowledged our presence because one of them whispered, "Max?" Oh my god. If this is who I think it is, then the rest are who I knew who it was, but they don't look like they do, so they are who they are, and then he's, "Fang." I whispered, not wanting to believe it. I rushed forwards, and sure enough they were my old flock. Iggy looked taller, and Gazzy looked older, and Nudge, well, Nudge looked like those teen models on those tabloids and junk. That means … OMG. I ran full speed and slid up to the bleeding body. It was my Angel. She looked so grown up. I screamed," Jason, get your ass over here." Jason ran up next to me. Jason is majoring in medical, while I'm studying sports and music. "She's stable, but who knows for how much longer. Forgetting I was in a bikini, I grabbed Angel, and ran for the hospital.
I'm saving my baby; after all, if they come back, they're yours. If not, they never were.
