Irvine

Max POV

Four words: biggest brain attack ever. I started thinking of this song I had heard earlier. Naturally I remember things easily and that's why I remember the words to a song I've only ever heard once.

Are you there?

Are you watching me?

As I lie here on this floor

I was close to blacking out, I could feel it. And it was all thanks to The Voice.

They say you feel what I do

And The Voice just happens to be daddy dearest. What dad wouldn't feel what their daughter does?

They say you're here every moment

You're in my head for Pete's sake.

Will you stay?

Stay 'till the darkness leaves

Stay here with me

If you're going to put me in this much pain just to leave, you already know you have hell to pay from me.

I know you're busy, I know I'm just one

But you might be the only one to save me

I'd actually considered trusting Jeb before this brain attack.

Why is it so hard?

Why can't you just be my father instead of some Whitecoat who can never be trusted?

Why can't you just take me?

It definitely seems like you want to. I don't see how all this pain is supposed to help me.

I don't have much to go

Before I fade completely

If you keep tampering with my brain who knows how much time I'll have left. It can't be much.

Can you feel how cold I am?

Do you cry as I do?

If I were to die, it would be depressing to know that you killed the person you gave life to.

Are you lonely up there by yourself?

Like I have felt all my life

I'm never lonely with the flock right here beside me. I'm only ever lonely without them.

The only one to save mine

At this point you seem to be the only one who can save me.

How are you so strong?

Why did you betray me for all this strength? Was it really worth it?

What's it like to feel so free?

I wouldn't exactly know since I've been chased by Whitecoats, Erasers, and Flyboys all my life.

Your heart is really something

Your love, a complete mystery to me

You say you love me but why would I possibly believe you? The only thing you've ever done to me is betray me.

Are you there watching me?

As I lie here on this floor

Do you cry as I do?

Cry with me tonight

You should.

Are you there?

Are you watching?

You may be my father but I'm nothing like you, I thought before I blacked out.

I was seriously bouncing up and down in my chair writing this. I don't think I've ever had that reaction before..Anyway, Review.
