Ack. Another story. I just want people to understand that what happens between Max and Iggy is NOT Miggy. It is pure brother and sister love. I might have Max go on Iggy a little because she feels confuse but I don't even think so. I need your advice on that so please review. Also I do not own any Maximum Ride characters except the ones I make up and I do not own any of the songs mentioned in this or any other chapters. Yes this is slightly songfic.
I'm pretty sure most of you have had a break ups. Your boyfriend or girlfriend has dumped you. It's worse when they cheated on you or if you were with them for a year or two. Well combine all that pain and multiply it by 50 or maybe 70. Now you might be able to understand half of the pain I do. Maybe.
I lost Fang. He was my first everything. My first brother, my first best friend, my first boyfriend, my first kiss (and yes make out but we never went farther). We were together since we were born. Literally. We were perfect for each other. Then he left me and the Flock. The retard thought he was protecting us. Well if by tearing my heart out and burning it as he tore our family apart considered protecting us then he's doing a swell job of it.
At first all I could do was cry. That's all any of us could do. Then I knew I had to keep going. At first I didn't know why but then I thought of the Flock, my mom, Ella and the rest of the freakin world that I'm supposed to save. So I picked up the pieces that were left of me. One day I woke up and woke the Flock up as nicely as I could and kindly asked Iggy to make us breakfast and we tried to move on.
Dylan is with us. He moved into a spare room but stayed away. Occasionally Angle or Nudge or even the Gasman would breakdown and he would hold them. I and Iggy didn't though. We held strong. At first.
It had been a week that I tried to act as if everything was good. But I woke up after having a dream of Fang. Again. I couldn't take it. I broke down sobbing quietly. I hadn't wanted to wake the others. Then the door opened.
"Max?" I looked up and saw Iggy holding a glass of water. He sounded a little scared and shocked.
"Hey Ig." I choked. I tried to smile but just ended up sobbing again.
"Oh Max." he put his water down and closed the door. He sat on my bed and put an arm gently around me. I leaned my face in his chest and continued to sob as his arms came around me and his wings came around both of us. He began to rock us gently. I don't know how long we cried together but it got late and we had to go to bed.
"Thanks Ig."
"You're welcome. I have to watch out for my little sis." He teased.
"Ha." I smiled a little. He would come twice a week. Sometimes three. Sometimes even Nudge would come and join us. I knew the Gasman would take care of Angel. I hadn't really talked to her.
One night I woke up breathing heavily. I had another dream but it wasn't about Fang.
It was the day that the Erasers came and took Angel but different. During the fight I saw an Eraser grab Angle but I turned and saw an Eraser closer to me. Its hands were up like it was grabbing someone from behind it and it was struggling. But I couldn't see what it was. It was just a blank. Suddenly there was a flicker but I still couldn't tell what it was. Then I turned to Angle and ran. Then I woke up. I couldn't understand it but I felt suddenly really guilty but I ignored it and went back to sleep.
Iggy P.O.V.
I really couldn't sleep and it was late enough for everybody else to be asleep. I got my I-pod that Mrs. Martinez had gotten for me. I pressed shuffle and began to listen. Lay Me Down by Dirty Heads began to play. I liked that song. It sort of reminded me of all the times that we were on the run. I liked to match songs to things. Its fun and it occupied your mind while you're on the run. For example Max's song was I Will Not Bow by Breaking Benjamin. It absolutely fit. Fang was more Toxicity by System of the Down. Nudge was anything Ke$ha or Justin Bieber unfortunately. The Gasman was American Idiot by Green Day. Not that he's and idiot but because it just fits. Angel used to be a nice Disney kids song but now I haven't come across any songs that scream 'Sadistic seven year old crazed mutant girl'. Sorry. Dynamite by Taio Cruz had just finished up. I liked a variety of music, jeez shoot me. And I don't mean that seriously like others seem to. The next song started with a piano.
"Go ahead and burn it down.
I'm drunk and so is everyone else,
In this devil town
They won't let me turn around
To get one last look at my baby"
I like this song. It's Still Around by 3OH!3. As I hummed the song I thought of the dreams I had been having lately. I couldn't see anything, duh! , but I kept hearing a voice. A girl's voice. Every time I thought of it I felt my chest hurt a little bit. For some reason I suddenly felt sad and guilty. Sometimes I even felt like crying. But I didn't understand why the voice did that.
"While she's still around.
While she's still around.
While she's still around.
While she's still around."
I knew the voice wasn't like Max's voice that actually spoke to her. This voice was more of snippets. It would call my name and even the name of the rest of the Flock, except Dylan's. It would say other things to but what I heard most. And bizarrely, what I loved to hear most was a laugh. Joyful laughter that would even make me smile but I felt even worse afterwards.
"Forgotten nights
And my only hopes is to see you
And even if I never do"
I turned around on my stomach and spread my wings out more. I wiped away a small tear.
"While she's still around.
While she's still around.
While she's still around.
While she's still around."
I didn't get it but I knew that I really didn't want to let the voice go. I loved it too much even though I didn't know why.
"Cause this life is anything but certain
When they close the final curtain
You'll get a glimpse of the truth
Cause you're she's still around."
I slowly fell asleep.
Review but be nice about it. It's been really hard to do any typing because the computers are down or occupied so it's hard to update and I thought of this story and got really excited about it. It gets better. And tell me if you think that I should have Max lean in on Iggy and Dylan a little. If I do have her do that it is just because she is confuse and she doesn't really mean it though okay.
