Slipped Away
A/N: Err…I don't know. This is my first time writing something sad. Or at least a sad fanfic. Half of the time Max or another member of the Flock is singing the lyrics, the other half they're in lyric-story format.

I miss you
Miss you so bad
Why did he leave me? How could he just walk out my life like that. It's been two years since he left, and I have barely been able to keep myself together for the Flock.
We all sense that a part of us is missing since he left. Iggy seems quieter, more withdrawn. Nudge is still a motor-mouth, but keeps her speeches to a minimum. Gazzy pretends to be brave like the little trooper that he is. Angelconstantly is worried about me. She's obviously been reading my thoughts. Even Total hasn't been the same.
And me. Well, let's just say that he took a part of my heart and never gave it back. I've been a zombie. I only eat and sleep when the Flock make me. I've been obsessed with saving the world, even more so than usual. Maybe he'll love me again if I prove to him that I can be worthwhile. Maybe I'll prove to myself that I'm not useless. Either way, I have to do it.
I don't forget you
Oh it's so sad
I wish I could just forget him. Pretend that I never met him. Go on with life like my Flock had only ever had five members. But life would be too easy that way.
"I hope you can hear me. 'Cause I remember it clearly."
Fang and I had always had a special bond. Maybe he can hear me now. And maybe five mutant kids really do have a chance at saving the world.
Yeah right.
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
I sat on watch. Watching the woods that surrounded our campsite with dull eyes. Once again I thought of him. Once again I felt my eyes brimming over with tears.
I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I never even got to say goodbye to him. All he did was leave a note. I still remember what it said.
I'm leaving. Don't follow me.
Fang
No goodbye or sorry anywhere in that note. He could have at least had the decency to say goodbye to our faces.
"I wish that I could see you again," I whisper to myself.
I know that I can't
Angrily, I brush the tears from my eyes. The Flock has seen me crying enough. I get up and tap Nudge on the shoulder. It is her watch.

I hope you can hear me
Nudge looks at Max's sleeping form. Even in sleep she misses him. Her face sad.
"Fang," Nudge whispers to the air, "Please, Fang, come back. Max needs you."

"I remember it clearly," says Iggy. "She needs you man. You have to come back."
"I don't think that I can."
A/N: Oooh. I'm evil aren't I? Not. Anyway. Read and review. I am a very review starved author. My last story was a flop, so I want this one to do well.
