Max's farewell song
We were staying at mum's new home in DC and we each had our own bedrooms. The other day we were attacked by 100 flyboys and they were targeting me. How I know this. I had more than half of them following me AND the voice told me that the school wanted me back. Not the flock. Just me.
I'm the leader so I've got to keep them safe no matter what.
"Guys! I'm going out for a walk, be back later" I shouted up the stairs.
"Max, will we have to leave soon?" Angel said in my head.
"I don't know sweetie. But no matter what I decide I'll do what I can to keep you guys safe" Then I shut her out of my mind before she could see what I was planning.
I walked to every ATM I could find twice over and took $200 from each of them (when me and Fang checked there was over 100 million on my MAX card. We decided not to tell the others). I found 50 ATMs leaving me with a grand total of $10,000 cash.
Later that night
That night I sat at my desk writing a goodbye letter to Fang. And I don't know why but I wrote a song as well.
At 3am I checked on everyone to make sure they were asleep. When I went into Fang's room I left the letter on his desk (and since I wrote the letter on bright pink paper it should stand out in his all black room). I went back to my room, opened the window and flew across 3 and a half states in 30 minutes.
Maybe when or if I see the flock again I would have gotten rid of Itex for good.
3rd person POV
When Fang woke up in the mourning, he noticed a letter on his desk with his name on it. When he opened it, it said:
Dear Fang
Please don't hate me for this but I'm leaving the flock/ hopefully I won't be gone forever, just until I get rid of Itex, I'll be back.
During our last fight with the flyboys I had over 50 of them attacking me and the voice told me that they only wanted me. I don't want you guys to get hurt because of me. I'm leaving the MAX card with you along with a song which I only want you to read.
Please be strong for the flock. Read the song before telling the others.
Love
Maximum Ride

He looked at the other piece of paper and read it.
Sometimes I don't know what to do with myself
More than once I've pushed you away
So many times you kissed me with passion
So many times I've flown away
I don't want to hurt you anymore
I don't want to lead you astray
To protect the ones I love
I've got to leave you behind.
I cant tell you how I feel
When I cant tell myself
But to keep you safe I've got to go
I'll come back one day to lead you right
Maybe then we'll be together.
From day one, our lives have been hell
And our family is always in the run
The younger ones cant take it no more
They need somewhere to feel safe
I may still be seventeen
But now they'll need you more than me
Flyboys will leave you be
'cause they want me not you.
I cant tell you how I feel
When I cant tell myself
But to keep you safe I've got to go
I'll come back one day to lead you right
Maybe then we'll be together.
Please… don't try to find
Please… find them a home
I'll say it now, before I forget
But I'm… in live with you,
Tell then to always be strong
And to do what you say
I'll be back, just wait and see
And say out loud that I love you.
