It's Over

FAXNESS

Right after Fang and Max fight over whether Ari can stay with the Flock and Fang leaves taking Gazzy and Iggy with him

Max's POV

I just couldn't believe that Fang would do this to me, no matter how much he hates Ari. That's not a good enough reason for him to leave the Flock; there's no reason that's good enough to leave the Flock.

Four voices perfectly blending from the start. Oh, I'm afraid that's ending, and my world is falling apart. It's over and I feel so alone. How did I let the sweetest of dreams slip away? And I'm afraid the hurt is here to stay.

I just couldn't believe what was wrong with Fang. Why would he do that to me? He was just being mean to me. After Iggy rejoined us in Virginia, we'd agreed and promised to never split up again.

Promises made, not meant to be broken, from a long time ago. Oh, so many words still unspoken. Tell me how I was to know. It's over. (It's over.) Never thought it would be. Why in the world did this happen to me?

I used to need Fang, to be there for me to rely on him. I try to see where we went wrong, but I'm coming up empty. What am I supposed to do?

How could I let the sweetest of dreams slip away? And I'm afraid the hurt is here to stay. I go round and round and round in my head. Wanting to take back whatever I said, (whatever I said.) Made mistakes, (we all made mistakes.) I'm ready to do whatever it takes.

I would do anything to get Fang back at my side where he truly belongs and our friendship wasn't over. Then, right before Fang was supposed to reach Germany, my half-brother, Ari, choked and died—Ari expired right there in Germany, right in my arms. I didn't pause to think of the irony that my baby brother that I never even knew I had, died in my arms, I just threw myself, with a violent rage and a desperate need for revenge, back into the battle.

Please, don't let it be. Over, no, this is not how it ends. It's over. It's over. Let the sweetest of dreams slip away? My sisters. I need my sisters, my family. My family, my friends. Don't wanna let the sweetest of dreams slip away.(Let the sweetest of dreams slip away. Let the sweetest of dreams slip.) 'Cause if it's over, then the hurt is here to stay. (Don't let it be over.) Please don't let be over. Please don't let it be over.

I accepted Fang back into my life as my best friend again, and I realized that our friendship would truly never be over.

The End
