Story: It just can't be…
Ch. Title: My heart aches at the sight of you.
disclaimer: i do not claim to own maximum ride.
Hey! This is my first fanfic so it probably won't be too good… but I would appreciate it if you'd read it anyway and give me feedback. I don't know how often I'll get to writing new chapters, but I'll try to keep writing. Oh, and by the way this is all going to be in Fang's p.o.v., so it may get a little twisted.
My heart ached as I looked at her. Her blonde hair had fallen in her face. Her soft lips were slightly parted. Her stunning speckled wings were extended, just a little bit.
Maybe I should fill you guys in. It has been two years since the Itex in Germany fell. Unfortunately, other Itex corporations still existed. Flyboys kept coming, and improving. Whitecoats kept experimenting, and Max and I were still on the run.
Luckily, we were the only ones on the run. The flock was gone, but no, they're not dead. They're alive and well, living the best life they can live with their relatives.
Angel and Gazzy were living with their aunt, in New York City. Their parents may have thrown them away, but their aunt was different. She was so kind and understanding. She had accepted Ange and Gaz, without even hesitating. Even after she found out about the wings. Max trusted her, after spending some time at her house with the two siblings. It was heart breaking for her to watch them go, but they were happy and that's all Max had ever wanted.
Nudge was living with her dad, who had moved to Eureka, California. Yes, there is actually a town called Eureka, and its right along the coast. You know what that means. Nudge gets to spend most of her days at the beach, which is perfect for her. Her mother died, a few months before we met her dad, from cancer. Even so, Nudge is still ecstatic about having a family.
Iggy is staying with Nudge. "We all need someone", he said. "Angel has Gazzy, and Max has you. Nudge needs me with her. Plus, who else is going to shut her up when her dad can't figure out how to", he added laughingly. I remember his words like they were said yesterday.
So that leaves me and Max. We decided that we needed to defeat Itex, alone. That way the flock could be safe, without the fear of someone coming after them.
Right now, Max and I were in a cave, somewhere in Texas. We had stopped here to sleep. Though, I wasn't gonna get any sleep, any time soon. I couldn't. My mind was racing with a million different thoughts.
Actually, that's not true. My thoughts weren't different. They were all about one person- Max. That's a shocker, isn't it? All I ever thought about was Max. She's the only reason I'm still alive today. She's everything to me, yet she'll never know it.
I looked at Max again. She was curled up in a ball, on the cold cave floor. She was shivering a bit, probably because it was November and she was only wearing jeans and a t-shirt. I got up, covered her with the one blanket we owned, and sat back down at the cave's opening.
I thought again about the perfect angel that was sleeping only inches away from me. My heart ached again. Do you know what it's like to love someone, truly love someone, and not be able to tell them? It sucks, as I'm sure many of you know.
All I want is to tell her. To tell her how I feel. Even if I got rejected, I would want her to know. And if I didn't get rejected…well I can't even describe the happiness I would feel. But, it doesn't matter, 'cause she will never know.
And why can't I tell her? Because of them. The Whitecoats who made our lives a living hell. It's their fault. But maybe, just maybe, when they're gone, I can tell her.
Who am I kidding? The threat won't go away. I can never tell her. Never.
Ok guys. That's it for now. I know it's a little dull, but this is just the intro. It will get better...I hope. Please give me feedback. Thanks!
