Chapter 1

I woke up in a cold sweat again. Ever since Fang left I have woken up every night dreaming about him and hoping he is ok on his own. If he lets something happen to him I will seriously strangle him.

I sighed and sat up in my bed. I could hear Angel yelling at someone. I got up and crept down the hallway towards the living room "You IDIOT are you trying to kill her?! She is going to kill you literally!" The person muttered something incomprehensible. "Lucky you, she's awake now. Hopefully she won't kill you." Angel sneered before running towards me and hitting me so hard I fell into the wall. I felt her tears soak through my T-shirt. "Make him go away Max." She cried into my shirt.

I was going to ask who she was talking about thankfully I didn't have to talk. Fang. That was all she had to say. "That isn't cool Angel." I was hoping my voice wouldn't shake unfortunately I never really got what I wanted.

"I'm not lying Max!" She cried even harder clinging to me. "He is in the living room, I want him to go away. Please make him go away." I rubbed her back and grabbed her hand walking into the living room. I looked to see his black wings glistening against the pale moonlight and it took every once of will power for me not to go and kiss him.

"What are you doing here? I thought you didn't plan on seeing us for awhile." I didn't mean to say this like I wanted to kill him but it came out that way. He turned around and saw me holding Angles hand and saw her cheeks streaked with tears. He just looked at me that's all he did.

"Fang I don't like staying out here." I heard a sing song voice call from the porch. I looked toward the deck and moved my head toward Fang slowly, my teeth grinding together.

"Angel." I looked down at Angel and she started sobbing again. My head snapped back up towards Fang. His mask faltered for a minute. "I don't want an explanation. But whoever she is she isn't going to room with me. Go find Nudge Angle." I let go of her hand and stomped out of the house toward the deck. I wasn't going to but I looked around to find a girl about my age, and guess what color of hair she had! Yep it was red. I took in a sharp breath and jumped off the deck unfurling my wings and flying away as fast as I possibly could.

Who was she? Why did Fang have to bring her? I screamed as loud as possibly could. My lungs burned for air but I sure as heck didn't care right now. I sucked in air slowly and screamed again. I landed in a tree and sat for a few minutes and cried. Sure was doing that an awful lot lately.

"Max? Are you ok?" I looked up to see Dylan flying toward me. I stiffened, in the past few months we got closer but I still wanted Fang so much that it hurt. "Its about Fang being back isn't it?" All I could do was nod. "If you want my opinion she isn't anything special."

I sighed and nodded again. "Yeah whatever." I mumbled trying to wipe away the tears. "Did you see his face around her? I saw her and I know why he brought her…"

"Hey, she doesn't even amount up to you. She isn't even in the same ball field, you are so much better than her, alright." He landed on my branch and pulled me up. "Now you are going to go back and show her Maximum Ride." He pushed me to the end of the branch and shoved me off. My wings unfurled and I glided on the wind for a minute before I flew beside Dylan. I could feel my tears dry up as the wind hit my face.

When the house came into view and I saw the whole flock on the deck waiting for us. It had to be around noon. Flew a lot longer and faster in the opposite direction. All of them looked shocked and I looked over to see Dylan closer than was necessary. I moved to the left a little away from him. "MAX!" I heard Iggy yell.

I landed on the deck. "What Iggy?"

"Tell Fang to get his 'friend' out of here. Now!" Iggy crossed his arms. "I swear she was as bad as you with the goo-goo eyes." I sucked in a breath and shot him a look. Not that he would see it, I hated that he was blind sometimes. I shook my head fighting back the second round of tears.

"Thanks for sharing Ig." I mumbled and walked past everyone. Perfect image walking in the front door. Fang and the red head suckin face on the couch. I cleared my throat. She looked up at me with an innocent look. I glared at her and then I looked at Fang with a look that made him go pale. "You-" I pointed at her. "Come with me." She opened her mouth like she was going to argue, until I shot her the look to. I walked to my room.

"Hi! I'm Lissa." She put out her hand when we were in the door way of my room. I pulled her in my room all the way and slammed the door shut. "What was that about?!"

"First of all you are a guest in MY house, so when you decide to suck someones face do it outside where I won't see. Second of all while you two are staying here. YOU will be staying in here, and don't even think about leaving this room in the middle of the night to go find Fang." I looked at her with a blank look. She caught on and she glared at me.

"You don't have to be so jealous Max." Lissa cracked her knuckles. "If he wanted to I am pretty sure he would drop everything and go back to you. Actually he is on the verge of doing that."

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes. "Just don't do anything in my house." I opened the door and motioned for her to leave. She looked at me cautiously before walking out. I slammed the door again. I grabbed the nearest thing and threw it at my door. I looked down to see the ring that Fang had given to me for my birthday. How ironic!

I walked over to my bed and threw myself on it and screamed into a pillow like the mature five year old I am.
