SUMMARY:
Fang leaves the flock one night but makes a promise to Max. He promises that he'll return before the rose he gives her dies. But will he keep his promise? How will the flock deal? Will he still blog?
(Okay, I am TERRIBLE at summaries, but this will be MUCH better then the summary. I promise. PINKY SWEAR!! (sticks out pinky) See!)

Fang's POV
I made sure that all of the flock's breathing was even before I got up. If they weren't sleeping then they were some actors.
I said a silent good-bye to the rest of the flock before I could face Max. Pursing my lips together I turned around at looked at her perfect unconscious figure. She looked like a sleeping angel. Her blond hair looked golden in the moon light that shone through the window, taking my breath away. She always took my breath away.
Max cluched the pillow tighter, giving me a signal that she was having a bad dream. She always grasped something when she was having a nightmare. And she drew her eye brows together.
I leaned down to her side and stroked her check. Her grip loosened on the pillow. That always seemed to work. I loved the feeling of her skin. I sometimes even forgot my surroundings when I was touching her. She grabbed my hand and gave it a light squeeze. I squeezed it back.
When I let go an went to stand up she grabbed my hand again.
"Don't leave me again." She whispered in a broken tone. My heart sank.
"I'll be here as long as it's good for you." I answered.
She didn't seem happy. "No, forever."
"As long as you want me."
"I always will."
Her hand dropped out of mine and I watched her slip back into deep sleep. I wished I could stay with her forever but I couldn't. Life was too cruel to allow me to stay with her, even if I promised that I would stay.
Because I was breaking that promise tonight.

Max's POV
Next Morning
I woke up to a bright light coming through the window and sighed. It was a good morning. I did a quick head count, just to make sure they were all here.
Angel, check. Gazzy, check. Nudge, check. Iggy, check. Total, check. Fang...uncheck. Wait, where was Fang?
I started to panic. Was he gone? Had he been captured? Did he leave me again? I didn't want him gone, I needed him at my side at all times. It was a Max's flock rule.
I looked to my side to see if I checked everywhere and something caught my eye. A splash of red was on my pure white pillow. It took me a while to realized that it was a rose.
I picked it up and looked at it. It was still just a bud, completely closed. It's blood red petals felt like velvet in my hands.
Then I saw a note too. I picked it up and read it:
I left. (duh) But I won't be gone forever. I promise that I'll be back before this rose dies. And if I'm not then you can kick my ass. But I promise that I will be back for you. -Fang
Roses lived for about three weeks if I wasn't mistaken. He though he'd be back in three weeks? But I honestly didn't care I'd wait for him. I'd wait for him forever if it took that long.
And that's what I would do.
