Hey everyone! I just thought of this fanfic while listening to You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift. I do not own the song or Maximum Ride. This fic takes place in the second book, Maximum Ride: Schools out- Forever while they were at Anne's house and going to school. Please enjoy!



Lissa.

Lissa, the stupid, moronic, idiot of a girl who thinks she owns Fang. I swear if I see her cling onto Fang one more time, she will wake up underwater.

My teeth grounded together and my eyes had fire dancing in them. Across the street stood Fang and Lissa, looking into a store window. Lissa was giggling like a drunken bimbo and pointing to a pair of whore shoes. I could see Fang's reflection on the window. He was staring at me with emotionless eyes. I shook my head and walked briskly into one of the many stores, which just so happened to be a music store, lining the streets. I felt a relaxing blast of cold air across my face. Music flooded into my ears.

You're on the phone
With your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about
Something that you said
'Cause she doesn't
Get your humor like I do

No one gets Fang's humor like I do. No one ever will. Because no one has gone through what we have.

My thoughts were bitter as I walked over to a bench beside against the window and sat down, listening to the song.

I'm in the room
It's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of
Music she doesn't like
And she'll never
Know your story like I do

Nope. No one will ever know Fang's story like me. No one will EVER know how much he's gone through. Being chased down by half wolf half human creatures. Having to dumpster dive nine times out of ten for food. Living in caves and abandoned houses and apartments. She'll never know what it's like to not have parents, or what it's like to fight for your lives. She'll never know.

But she wears short skirts
I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming 'bout the day
When you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time

Well, besides that fact it's impossible to fight in skirts, they're highly uncomfortable. And… I do daydream about Fang… Maybe more often then I should.

If you could see that
I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you see
You belong with me
You belong with me

I have been here the whole time. Why can't Fang realize that? No one understands him like I do. No one ever will. Not Lissa, not Anne, not even the rest of the Flock. Just me. Because I'm his other half. We understand each other with out even saying anything.

Walk in the streets
With you and your worn out jeans
I can't helping thinking
This is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench
Thinking to myself
Hey isn't this easy

Just like breathing. Being with Fang is as easy as breathing. It comes naturally. Talking to him is easy. I can tell him just about everything. Because he'll understand.

And you've got a smile
That could light up this whole town

More like this whole world.


I haven't seen it in a while
Since she brought you down

Fang's smiles were few and far in between. But when I do get to see them, it's wonderful.


You say you're fine
I know you better than that
Hey whatcha doing
With a girl like that?

What is Fang doing with a girl like Lissa? She doesn't know him. Even if she thinks she does, she doesn't.

She wears high heels
I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming 'bout the day
When you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time

Will he ever realize everything he needs is right here? Right here with him? Like it has since the very beginning? Since the very day we saw each other in the wooden crates back at the school?


If you could see that
I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by you

Waiting at your back door
All this time
How could you not know baby
You belong with me
You belong with me

This song matched everything I was feeling. Every single thing emotion since I saw Fang and Lissa kiss in that classroom.

Oh, I remember you driving to my house
In the middle of the night

Okay, more like coming into my room in the middle of the night, but whatever.


I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're about to cry
I know your favorite songs
And you tell me about your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me

Alright, Fang doesn't cry. But I can tell when he's agitated about something, and I always do something to fix it… Unless I cause it. I also know all of Fang's favorite songs. I know his favorite bands, and everything like that. As a matter of fact, I bought him a C.D by his favorite band a couple of days ago. He actually hugged me.

Can't you see that
I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by you
Waiting at your back door
All this time
How could you not know baby
You belong with me
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me

"I'm gonna buy this C.D." I muttered to myself as the song ended. I stood up and went to go find the album. It took a couple of minutes, but I finally found it. Just as I paid for it, Fang walked into the store.

"You ready to leave?" He asked as he walked up to me.

"Yeah." I replied shortly, walking out of the store with him close behind.


Finally, the others were gone. Anne had taken Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel out to the theater to see a movie. Fang was still here, but he was outside, talking to Lissa on the phone. I had brought my C.D player down to the kitchen and put my new C.D in it. Fang walked in, now off the phone, and I had a sudden burst of courage. I started singing to the song as it came on.

You're on the phone
With your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about
Something that you said
'Cause she doesn't
Get your humor like I do

I looked right at him as I sung. He paused in the middle of the kitchen with a curious look on his face.

I'm in the room
It's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of
Music she doesn't like
And she'll never
Know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts
I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming 'bout the day
When you wake up and find
That what you're looking for

Has been here the whole time

Fang's eyes widened slightly as I walked toward him slowly. Soon, I was standing right in front of him. I had to look up at him, because he was a whole freaking foot taller then me. He stared down at me with his dark eyes.

If you could see that
I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you see
You belong with me
You belong with me

Walk in the streets
With you and your worn out jeans
I can't helping thinking
This is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench
Thinking to myself
Hey isn't this easy

Fang sat the phone on the counter behind him. Then, he gently wrapped his arms around my waist and held me close. I was surprised, but I didn't stop singing.

And you've got a smile
That could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while
Since she brought you down
You say you're fine
I know you better than that
Hey whatcha doing
With a girl like that?

She wears high heels
I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming 'bout the day
When you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time

I took a step back from him and out of his arms. He looked at me curiously, but didn't say anything. I walked around him slowly, letting my hand run over his shoulders lightly. I felt him stiffen slightly under my touch, and I couldn't help but smile.

If you could see that
I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by you
Waiting at your back door
All this time
How could you not know baby
You belong with me
You belong with me

Oh, I remember you driving to my house
In the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're about to cry
I know your favorite songs
And you tell me about your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me

Fang turned around suddenly to face me again and brushed the back of his hand over my cheek. I still didn't stop singing. Instead, I just looked up at him.

Can't you see that
I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by you
Waiting at your back door
All this time
How could you not know baby
You belong with me
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me

The song finally ended, and we were both frozen. His hand lay gently on my cheek, and I was staring up at him, breathing heavily from singing. Suddenly, he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly.

"What are you doing?" I muttered, starting to pull away. "You're still going out with Lissa."

"No, I'm not." He replied quietly, tightening his grip on me. "I just broke up with her."

I looked up at him. "You did?" I murmured.

He nodded simply. Then, he brushed his lips against mine gently. "For you." He whispered.

"You broke up with her for me?" I asked, shocked. "Why?"

"Because… of everything you just sang. Everything I could ever want has been right in front of me. And I knew it from the beginning… By the way, you have a great voice." He said with a small chuckle.

"Shut up." I muttered, hiding my face in his shoulder.

He chuckled and kissed the top of my head.

Suddenly, the front door burst open and there was a loud chatter. I heard the squeal of Angel. She obviously knew what had happed by reading our minds.

"Time to tell the others." He said, smiling widely, causing the room to light up suddenly. I couldn't help but smile back.
