'Person speaking' (their POV)

"Person speaking" (for the 'special' people out there, this is for the people whose POV it isn't.)

IGGY POV

Why, WHY!! I shouted as I hit the wall of my room. Why won't they just let me end my life? "Because we care about you," came the reply. Nudge? I asked without turning around, kind of disbelieving that I hadn't noticed her come in to my room. 'Yeah, it's me. Iggy just because Gazzy's dead doesn't mean you have to hurt your self.'

But it's my fault he's dead…

NUDGE POV

I had never seen Iggy cry before, except when he left for his parents. It scared me but at the same time relieved me. Why? Because he hadn't shed a single tear over Gazzy before this and all Angel could get from his head was a constant barrage of hateful thoughts towards himself, the flock, the street gang, and even Gazzy. I think that's what drove Angel to the Dark Side was her hearing all of that ALL the time. Not to mention she had spent an extra amount of time absorbing what she could of the darkness while Max tried to talk some sense into him.

It never worked.

As my mind pondered over this information from the past, my body walked over the crumpled figure of Iggy. I had grown lately making me almost Iggy's size. I pulled him onto my lap and rubbed circles on his back like Max used to do to me when I had a nightmare. Iggy just sobbed harder until I was afraid he would break.

"Don't break Iggy, the flock needs you. Ineed you." I whispered. Over the choking sounds coming from Iggy, I don't think he heard me.

About an hour later Iggy fell asleep so I put him to bed, pushing his strawberry-blonde hair out of his eyes. Surprisingly Iggy didn't look blind- his eyes weren't that freaky white color that most blind peoples were. His were a startling electric blue when open. Confident in the fact that Iggy was going to have a good nights sleep for the first time in almost a year, I turned to leave.

IGGY POV

She was leaving? NO!!!!!!! She CANT leave

My hand shot out to grab Nudge's Wrist. "Don… Don't leave me, please." I could feel my voice breaking, then a rustling of sheets and a Nudge sized weight settled in next to me. 'Shhh its OK, I'm here.'

"Alright"

And with that I fell into a dreamless sleep.
