Max's POV

I wiped the tears out of my eyes as I flew faster. Faster. I swallowed hard, trying to stop a new batch of tears.

Here's the thing, we started out friends. It was cool but it was all pretend. Yeah, yeah. Since you been gone.

He was my best friend. My second half. And he left me. Sure I was the one who'd started it by letting Ari join our group, but that didn't mean he had to agree. Now, here I was on my way to Europe with two little girls and a dog.

You're dedicated. You took the time. Wasn't long till it called to mind. Yeah, yeah. Since you been gone.

I missed Fang so much. I would never let it show how much I wanted him just to fly next to me again. Tell me that he was here for me.

And all you'd ever hear me say, was how I pictured me with you. That's all you'd ever hear me say.

I needed to be strong though. Yeah! I thought, I won't let him get to me! I have what I want right here!

But since you been gone, I cannot breathe for the first time. I'm so movin' on, yeah. Yeah. Thanks to you, now I get, I get what I want. Since you been gone.

I sighed. He's just so charming, and sweet… No! I told myself firmly, You will not do this again!

How can I put it? You put me on. I even fell for that stupid love song. Yeah, yeah. Since you been gone.

I had to bite my lip to keep from crying. He had never said much to me. Why did it hurt so much? He'd never once told me how much he cared about me.

How come I never hear you say, 'I just wanna be with you.' I guess you never felt that way.

He doesn't care. I don't care. I chanted over and over in my head. Angel's head turned towards me. She looked sadly at me, not saying anything.

Since you been gone, I cannot breathe for the first time. I'm so moving on. Yeah, yeah. Thanks to you now I get what I want. Since you been gone.

He broke my heart. I clenched my jaw, letting the anger pour out of me. I squeezed my knees.

You had your chance you blew it. Out of sight. Out of mind. Shut your mouth I just can't take it. Again and again and again.

I let out a small scream.

Since you been gone, I cannot breathe for the first time. I'm so moving on. Yeah, yeah. Thanks to you, now I get, I get what I want.

"Max?" I heard his voice clearly.
I felt his hand on my shoulder. Then, they slowly wrapped themselves around me. I was hardly breathing. I screamed, and screamed, and screamed some more.
He was holding me in his arms, whispering, "Max, max shh."

I cannot breathe for the first time, I'm so moving on. Yeah, yeah. Thanks to you, now I get. Don't you know that I get, I get what I want. Since you been gone.

He tilted my chin up so I was looking into his eyes. "Max." He whispered. "I love you more than anything else in this world." I could vaguely make out the rest of the flock standing in the background.
He pulled my mouth to his, kissing me gently. "I love you too." I whispered.

Since you been gone.
