JUST A LITTLE HEADS FOR EVERYONE!
The Chapters in this 'story' are each themselves stories, unless they are divided into seperate parts. Ex: This story is called Fights, Make Ups, & Make Outs. The next chapter is called Fading Love Part 1. The chapter after that will be Fading Love Part 2. ONLY FADING LOVE PART 1 AND PART 2 ARE THE SAME STORY. AND WHEN THAT STORY ENDS THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE A NEW STORY. Phew. Well I'm glad I got that cleared up.

A/N: This is just a little conversation between Max and Fang. The words for part of it are from the song Angel by Sarah McLachlan. If you listen to this song, you'd find it perfect for any MR things. The words are jumbled and there are some words mixed in with it, so if you actually listen to the song, it's not exactly how some of the dialouge is for the story. FROM MAX'S PoV.


Fights, Make Ups, & Make Outs

I slammed the door to the room in the hotel we were staying at in Florida. We, as a flock, had decided it was time to take a break. After all, we had just saved the world. It was about time that we take a vacation. I walked out onto the beach. The sun was just setting and it was the perfect time to sit on the beach, but it wasn't the right time for anything right now.

Fang and I had just had a fight. Over something completely stupid too. Fang had wanted to spend some time with me alone, but I had refused to leave the flock with Iggy. For goodness sake! He's freaking blind! Sitting down on the extremely sandy beach (which beaches usually are), I thought about what Fang had said before I had stormed out.

"You spend all your time waiting for that second chance. For that break that would make it okay Max! I'm giving you you that break. There's always one reason, that this doesn't feel not good enough, it doesn't feel right. And it's hard at the end of the day. It's hard for you, it's hard for me, it's hard for the entire flock Max! I need some distraction a beautiful release. I need you Max. Memories seep from my veins, I am constantly brought back to the thought that you almost died Max! Just let me be empty. Let me be weightless and maybe, just maybe, I'll find some peace tonight."

"Fang!" I had shouted back, "You can't honestly think that this is all my fault."

"I don't Max. It's just...I don't know if I can do this any longer."

"Do WHAT any longer Fang? What?"

"I'm so tired Max! So tired of this straight line that we keep following. And everywhere I turn, there's vultures and thieves at my back. I want that over Max! I want it to be over! And somehow, the storm of my life keeps on twisting. You keep on building the lie, that every night you make up for all that you lack. It doesn't make any difference Max, escaping one last time. It's just easier to believe in this sweet madness, this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees"

At that time I had left the room, run down the hall and out to the beach. It was deserted at the moment, which was a wonder, especially for a Florida beach. People must be eating dinner. I thought. The longer I sat there, on the deserted Florida beach, the more and more I wanted Fang back. I wanted to apologize, I wanted him to apologize. Tears slowly trickled down my cheeks. I just loved Fang too much for anything to happen to us. Anything that was to hard for me to bear.

If we had spent some time alone, we might have ended up doing things that we'd regret. Things that I was ready for. I wanted Fang, that was for sure. However, I wasn't sure if he really wanted me, or wanted me in bed. Over the past few weeks, Fang had turned into a hormonal teenage boy, which I guess is slightly normal, we are sixteen. It was then that I decided what really needed to be done.

I stood up and brushed the sand off my pants and turned to head back up to the room. I had to face Fang. Taking one last look at the sun, I watched the last bit of it disappear over the horizon. With the fading light, I walked back up to the hotel.


I swear, that elevator ride must have been the longest on in the history of elevator rides. I prayed that Fang was still in the room. I didn't really want to wait for him to come up from dinner, I'd rather face him now and get it over with. The next few minutes of my life were going to determine the outcome of our relationship and possibly what happened to the entire flock.

As I reached the door, I heard yelling from the inside. Fang and Iggy by the sound of it.

"Where could she have gone?" Iggy yelled at Fang.

"Uh..I don't know! She was trying to get away from me, why would she tell me where she was going?" Fang argued back.

"Well she's been gone for an hour and a half! How do we know she hasn't used her supersonic speed flight or whatever she calls it to leave us forever? Eh? She could be in Singapore by now!"

I laughed silently to myself. They were fighting over where I'd gone, when all they had to do was walk down to the beach and find me there. I laughed again. Supersonic speed flight (as Iggy called it), hadn't even crossed my mind.

Fang snorted, "I don't think she'd leave us without saying goodbye. Especially to Angel."

"Well then where is she?"

"I don't know!"

I heard another voice shout in the room, this time is was Nudge's. "Guys. Guys! Shut. Up. Angel had something to say."

The room quieted. Oh crap. Angel can read minds, no matter how many walls are between her and the person of whose mind she is reading. She must have known I was there and let Fang and Iggy know, because the next thing I know I hear a big 'WHAT?' from inside the room and pounding feet as they raced across the room.

The door opened and Iggy lept out at me.

"Ugh! Ig. Can't. Breathe. All. Air. Leaving. Body." Iggy didn't hear what I said. It was only because he was practically yelling at me for not telling him where I'd gone. "IG!" I yelled.

"Uh huh?"

"Get off me!"

"Oh. Sorry Max." Iggy let go of me and backed off to let Fang by. He silently went back into the room and closed the door so we could have some time alone. I was now backed against the wall because Iggy's hug had had so much force that it had pushed me there.

I looked Fang square in the eye and said, "Look, Fang. I'm..." He swooped me up into a hug before I could finish my sentence. "Sorry." I said into his ear.

He pushed me away. "What could you possibly be sorry for Max?" he said quietly, "I'm the one who was being an idiot, the one who lost it. I'm the one who should be sorry."

"Fang." I said, then I stood on my tiptoes and kissed the corner of his mouth. "I forgive you."

I leaned back and he looked at me. "Promise me one thing though."

"Okay..."

"Never do that to me again."

I smiled. "It's a deal."

Fang swooped me up and carried me over to the door. He pulled out his key and opened the door. I hoped and prayed silently that Iggy had been smart and emptied the room of the younger kids.

I was right. And very very happy at the moment.

Fang leaned down and lay me on the bed. Then he bent over and kissed me. I flipped him over so that I was on top and then I broke the kiss.

"Fang." I said, somewhat warningly.

"Yes?" he asked innocently.

I laughed a little at his playfulness. "I'm in the arms of an angel."

He looked at me a moment before replying. "Let's fly away from here, from this dark cold hotel room. And the endlessness that we fear. I'm pulling you from the wreckage of your silent reverie. You're in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort there."

I leaned back in and kissed him again quickly then I said. "Don't worry, I will."

Fang flipped me over so that he could take control of what was happening, and I let him. He leaned in and kissed me.

I greatfully kissed him back.
