Hello! So my family's out to dinner at a restaurant I don't like so I decided to do this little songfic which takes place in Angel when Fang calls Max and asks for her help. Based on Sara Bareilles' Gravity. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride or the song Gravity


Max POV

My phone rang and I sighed.

Something always brings me back to you

It never takes too long

Everyone asks me who it is but I've already seen the caller ID.

"My guess would be Fang" Dylan says. I don't answer him but stay silent and flip my phone open.

"What," I say tightly.

"Don't hang up!" said Fang

"In the middle of something here," I say "Is it important?"

No matter what I say or do

I still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone

"Only if you consider the end of the world important," said Fang. "Which I guess you do"

I didn't say anything

You hold me without touch

You keep me without chains

He continued. "Look, I'm in San Diego. I need you guys to come here"

I never wanted anything so much

Then to drown in your love and not feel your rain

My eyebrows shot up yet I still didn't say anything.

"Max. I know you're mad. I know things are messed up between us. I know there's no reason in the world for you to trust me or to bother coming here. And believe me, I'm not playing games. But I've stumbled onto something huge. Something very bad. And I think we have only days to stop it. I wish I could do it by myself but I can't. I wish I didn't have to ask you for help but I do. Come to San Diego. Please."

His voice was like salt being rubbed into my wounded heart. I couldn't believe he was doing this.

Set me free, leave me be

I don't wanna another moment into your gravity

Here I am and I stand so tall

Just the way I'm supposed to be

But you're onto me and all over me

I tried to swallow but I felt like I had a big rock in my throat.

I didn't trust myself to speak. He was the only person in the world who could get to me this way. The only one.

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile

When I thought that I was strong

I felt the hot pricklyness of tears that were to come.

I had cried more in the past year than I had in all fourteen years before. I was tired of crying. Tired of crying over Fang.

But you touch me for a little while

And all my fragile strength is gone

I had the power to hurt a lot of people's feelings yet I felt like I had not power over Fang at all.

I swallowed. "Oh yeah?" I said and congratulated myself on how casual I sounded.

Set me free, leave me be

I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity

Here I am and I stand so tall

Just the way I'm supposed to be

But you're on to me and all over me

There was a pause which meant he was speechless. Good.

"Yes" he said finally. "Will you come? Will you bring the flock? I'm at the Crescent Bay Hotel, on Market Street, downtown. I can explain everything when you get here."

"We're pretty busy" I hedged.

I live here on my knees

As I try to make you see

That you're everything I need

Here on the ground

But you're neither friend nor foe

Though I can't seem to let you go

The only thing I still know

Is that you're keep me down

"Max the Doomsday Group has to be stopped" Fang continued forcefully.

Keeping me down

You're onto me and all over

I sat up straight, my jaw dropping. "The Doomsday Group?"

Something always brings me back to you

It never takes too long


Hope it's good! I copied the lyrics from Metro Lyrics and so yeah. I also copied some of the quoting from Angel. Let me know what you think! Read and Review (if you want more of these small thingies)
