I'd like to thank HP MR FOREVER 0807 actually being nice to a Fanfic newbie and for being my first favorite author! You rock, girl!

Chapter One

Max POV:

If you told me two months ago Fang would leave the flock and me, leaving a letter saying I wouldn't see him in 20 years, I would have round-house kicked you into next year. But, you see, things change over time. A month and three weeks ago, my best friend/boyfriend/ right-wing man left me to lead and protect the Flock.

ALONE.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Flock. They're my family. But have you ever tried to monitor a blind pyro and a gassy pyro to make sure they don't blow up the house, check up on your suicidal "perfect other half" everyday so doesn't murder himself, keep a fashonista from spending too much money on clothes, all while watching over a untrustable, devil mind-reader to make sure that she doesn't flip sides AGAIN?! No? I seriously thought not. For a about a day, the Flock was actually quiet and sad. Then, the news-channels freaked out the next day, 'cause apparently different Itex branches were taking over different countries. We, of course, had to be the saviors of the world and destroy Itex. You're probably thinking we brought them down with a well-thought out, strictly executed plan. I really should say you're right, but in all actuality, this plan was thought up after sitting on the toilet for an hour with the runs from a dinner of super spicy Indian food.

No kidding.

Angel read Iggy's mind after he told us the plan, and she said that's where he thought it up. Anyway. It basically was a plan of gathering every single mutant, experiment, or willing human and blowing up every single Itex branch known to man. It helped me take out my anger from he-who-must-not-be-named. (NO, NOT LORD VOLDEMORT!) It's been three weeks since Itex's death, and two weeks since we moved back into the "E" shaped house. My new boyfriend's doesn't have wings, but he sure is sweet. His name is Ben and Jerry's JUMBO TUB of Rocky Road Ice Cream. Ha ha ha ha go ahead, laugh. But guess who'll be laughing when you have your first heartbreak and need comfort. You guessed it.

Yours truly.

Anyhow, yours truly is now at that stage where you just lie in bed, sometimes crying, sometimes too numb to do anything but lie still. This morning, though, feels different. My bones scream to get up and do SOMETHING, but my mind yells at me to stay in bed and cry more. But I'm so frikin' sick of feeling sorry for myself and crying in bed all day. So, I pull myself out of bed, grabbing a tank top with some running shorts and OTHER things and walk into the bathroom. After thirty minutes, I step out of the bathroom. Clean and ready to whip my Flock back in line. I storm out of my room, knowing that things will always be different without HIM. But who needs him?

Me.

But obviously he doesn't me, so why should I care? Well, I'm over him.

I walk downstairs and my eyes are subjected to pure torture. Fang's stuff is spread out all over the living, and everyone is looking at everything. My confidence of today is weakened severely. I need to get away. Like, now. And then it hits me.

"Guys, get a few weeks' worth of clothes together a bag. We're gonna visit my mom," I say
