A/N: Ok this is my first Max fan-fic. I am obsessed with the story and can't put the books down.

Dis-claimer: I don't own because if i did no one would read it lol.

I sat down on the boats bench next to Brigid. She swept her hair back behind her shoulder. She was beautiful, to old for me, and deferentially not Max, but beautiful. She gave me a small smile. I couldn't help but compare her to Max. Max's smile was so easy and carefree with a hint of worry in it while Brigid's smile was small and flirtatious.

"Hi Fang." Her voice was low as she said this.

"Hey." I kept my voice the same as always. I kept my words simple I had to much to think about to add talking. Brigid inched closer to me on the bench she was wearing a large winter coat that had bits of fur in the hood. She snuggled in it staring at me. We had never sat next to each other and not talked the silence was unnerving.

"So I was thinking that the flock could go on TV or something and try …" I never got to finish she pressed her lips to mine. I was shocked and didn't move she continued to kiss me not understanding my hesitation. She pulled away looking embarrassed and mad at herself.

"I am sorry. I thought you shared my feelings." She looked at her lap ashamed. I thought about what she said. I did like her but not really the same way. Not like Max but Max didn't like me she kissed then ditched. I felt such deep feelings for her but she felt nothing for me. I put my hand under her chin. She looked at me startled, her eyes were large and curious. I smashed my lips to hers kissing her while she kissed me back deeply. I hated every moment of it. My thoughts went to my first kiss. Max's kiss. It was filled with fear and love. I did love her but she left me she always left me when I kissed her she ran when I did something sweet and loving for her she freaked out. I was quite and didn't show my feelings but she who showed so much emotion couldn't open up to me her best friend, her other half, and the guy who loved her. I had forgotten I was kissing Brigid. She pulled back and took husky breaths of cool Arctic air. I shook myself back to earth. She put her head on my shoulder.

"When we get back on land I want you to meet a friend of mine you will like him he is big in the environment." I just nodded a bit. I looked at my watch, the one I had stolen off some guy in Washington. It was 11:00 I could feel my eyes getting droopy.

"I am going to go to sleep." She smiled at me. I walked away into my small room that I was sharing with Iggy and Gazzy. Thankfully they were both asleep. I lay down on my bed thinking. I might really like Brigid. She is nice and smart very pretty and really the only reason I didn't like her was because she wasn't Max. I spread all of my limbs out on my bed and drifted to sleep. Thinking of Brigid and Max fighting in my sleep I kept trying to save Max but was swept up to saving Brigid because Max would yell at me for not thinking she could handle the situation. I woke up annoyed.

A/N: Don't kill me the story will lead you on a journey and the journey begins with some pain for Fax fans everywhere!
