Max's POV

Max's POV

Sighing, I clicked on my favourite site. The Blog. His blog. He hadn't posted anything in about a month, and Nudge had seemly taken over.

They were apparently living in Washington DC. So, here I am, living in an apartment about and hour away from where I suspected they were, on my own, at age 17.

I have a fake ID, so I could live on my own. (I'm now apparently 20) How did I manage to get one you ask? Well, I'd say you wouldn't want to know.

Looking out the window, I noticed a black bird sitting on the roof of a near-by building. Exhaling, I closed the laptop and stumbled over to my bed. Closing my eyes, I yet again had all of my memories of them, him flashing through my brain, like a slideshow moving at a super-sonic speed. What I wouldn't give to see them again…

Fang's POV

"Fang." I heard Iggy calling. Walking quietly into the kitchen, I answered him.

"Yeah, Ig?"

"Do you know what day it is?"

Of course I do. Not that I want it to be. "Saturday the 21st of September, why?" I was going to make him say it.

"No, not that. It's… well, the d-day she left. Three years ago, today."

I looked away from Iggy. He was still blind, but his hearing was better than ever. I had tears in my eyes, making me glad the kids were in bed.

"Fang?" he whispered. "You alright?"

Sighing, I replied. "What do you think?" Turning to go back to my room, I grabbed the laptop.

Almost four years since Angel was taken, three since she left. Walking into my room, I sank into my black duvet. I leaned over and grabbed my iPod, turning it onto my favourite playlist.

The re-make of Since You Been Gone by A Day To Remember came on. (A/N - sorry, this wasn't meant to be a song-fic! This'll be the one song-fic-ish part in the series… I think)

Here's the thing we started out friends
It was cool but it was all pretend
Yeah yeah
Since U Been Gone

You dedicated you took the time
Wasn't long till I called you mine
Yeah Yeah
Since U Been Gone

Friends. Best friends? That's all we ever were.

And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say

If I'd just had the courage to tell you… before you… left

How can I put it? You put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah
Since U Been Gone

How come I'd never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
I guess you never felt that way

Or did she? Did she… love me. Before. Then why did she run?

But Since U Been Gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get (I get) what I want
Since U Been Gone

No. I can't move on. But I have to. She's never going to come back. I Know she isn't. Right?

You had your chance you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again

I need to try that. Out of sight, out of mind. I think. Maybe I should move the tattered, old pictures of us down… off my wall. Put them in a drawer, out of sight. But… what if I forget her?

Since U Been Gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get, I get what I want
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah

I have to move on.. Whether I like it or not. Stop living in the past.

Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get (I get)
You should know (you should know)
That I get, I get what I want
Since U Been Gone
Since U Been Gone
Since U Been Gone

Letting the songs play, I turned on my laptop, with tears in my eyes. Of course, the one song that made me think of her had to play, now, of all times. On the 3rd… anniversary of her… leaving.

I logged onto my blog, seeing Nudge had been updating for me. Greeaaaaat… Well, I just hope she has been reading it, because if not, this will be for no reason.

I clicked the "New Post" button. Here is goes…

'Max'

'Okay, Max, if you're reading this, PLEASE come back soon. It's been 3 f-ing years, and we all need you. I miss you. The Flock misses you. Please, where are you?

You know me. If I really didn't mean this, I wouldn't be doing it. I haven't said a word since you left, but now I'm saying it. Please. I need to see your face again. I need to hear your voice. See You smile. Please. I'm begging, I can't take it ANY longer.

If you've decided to never come back, that's okay. I just need to see you one more time.

I have to tell you something, face to face. I need to show you, show you how much we've changed, how grown up they seem.

Angel, she's 9 now! She can barely remember what you look like. Gazzy, he's 11. Nudge.. wow. She's grown up the most. She could be a super-model.

Anyway, back to the point. Please, please please. I need you to come back, Max.

I need to see your wings one more time. See your dirty-blonde hair. Feel your touch on my skin one last time.

If after that you decide to come back, I, (and I am serious here) will be the happiest person on the face of the earth. If you decide not to come back, that's fine. Just… please.

Fly On, hopefully towards us.

Fang.'

Okay. Please, please let her reply to this. If she doesn't, I… I will find her myself and force her back. God help you, Max. If you still care about us, about me, you will come back. I know you will.

CHAPTER 1!! Yay! :D

Please R&R! it makes me haaaaaaaapy :)
