A/N: Sorry, I have exams. Lame excuse but still. After tomorrow, updates will come faster. Here's the second chapter. You'll see some stuff from MR3, which obviously belongs to JP, but the plot is mine :)

Chapter 2

Max POV

"You're making your worst mistake," he snarled. "And it's gonna cost you. You'll see."

I remember that night as if it were yesterday. Fang and my fight over Ari,

Flashback

I walked aimlessly, thinking about what Fang said. "He's right, I can't do this to my flock. I can't let Ari in! I'm a horrible leader. Fang is better at that, and knows what's right and wrong for the flock. He always … they'll be better off."

I walked back to camp and picked up my backpack. I looked over at Iggy, my tears visible in the moonlight.

"Iggy?"

He looked up, as did the rest of the flock including Ari, and he could hear my sniffles.

"Max, what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry guys. You'll be better off. Iggy, tell Fang he was right, and that I'm sorry. Tell him I love him, and that night I ran away because I was scared, not because I didn't love him."

"Max…"

"Just do it Ig. I'm sorry guys, I love you all."

And I flew away into the sky

Flashback end

Yup, it's been three years since that night. A month later I was in a karaoke bar working as a waitress when I was asked to sing. Little did I know that my manager was in the crowd and I would become Ali – Jo, awesome new music artist.

But I did, and here I am, heading to Arizona for my concert.

I contacted my mom and Ella about a year ago because I was about to break down. I was on the verge of a one you can imagine. I met up with Mom and Ella and talked to them. They told me how the flock was doing and I told them what was up. Mom told me she had found a surgery that could bring Iggy's eye sight back, but she didn't know if the expenses were under her budget. I immediately told her that I would pay for it. I was a multi-millionaire from being Ali – Jo, the least I could do for my flock was pay for his surgery.

I also told them about my plan to meet the flock. Ella was all for the idea, but Mom said she was a bit iffy of letting her daughter and the flock to go by themselves. Of course, my mother didn't think that I would invite her, which I did.

The plan was to get Mom and Ella to make the flock go to my concert. They would show up like a hour and a half earlier and Benny (my body guard) would take them to my room.

Then, what happened after that was up to them. I was kind of afraid of that.

That was all settled a year ago. iggy's surgery went fine, he has his eye sight back now, Ella told me. Tonight was my concert, which meant I was about to see my flock again after three years of abandoning them.

I wonder what they think of me?

"AJ?"

"Yea, Mark?" Mark is my manager. He also helped me a bit with the whole flock thing. Yes, he knows about the wings.

"We need to do a quick practice run now before your family gets here."

"Ok, what songs?" I asked, since I did have a whole new album that I was going to sing tonight.

"Just This Time and Imaginame sin ti," he told me.

"All right, I'll be right there."

I looked at myself in the mirror and got up and walked away. I'll have to worry about everything else when the time comes.

But what if they don't want to see me or hate me?

A/N: Well? I know it's kind of a bad chapter, but the good stuff happens soon. Stick with me people! At the end of story I'll give you the full playlist and the list of the album songs. Don't worry! R&R!
