Max POV

My. Life. Is. Doomed.

WHY ME? I thought –wait no, scratch that, I SCREAMED out loud to myself as I flopped onto my comfy king-sized bed back first.

Okay, if you're wondering what the heck I, Maximum Ride Martinez, am so upset about, it's the fact that my mom just broke the news to my sister and I that we are... dare I say it? MOVING. TO FREAKING LOS ANGELES! Why you ask? Because my mom got a new job offer. She said that she just "Had to take it!" Like seriously! I can't move! My mom knowsthat I would love to live L.A., but she KNOWS that I love my life here even more! There are so many things here in Phoenix that I love! I love my best friends; JJ, Alicia and Katie, I loved my house and my neighbourhood and heck- I even loved my school, Camelback High School! (I know you're probably thinking: "GAY NAME!", but whatever!) Oh and not to forget, I loved my boyfriend Dy-

"Max are you alright? I heard you screaming!" my younger sister Ella interrupted my thoughts as she burst into my room.

"Go away Ella!" I said with my face buried into my fluffy blue pillow. Actually, it sounded more like "Gmph Awumph Ewwa!"

"Oh come on Max! Stop being such a grumpy face about this! We all know you love it here in Phoenix, but we know that you'll be fine in Los Angeles and they you'll make great friends there, just like you did here. Am I right?" Ella stated. I hated when she was right... She was looking at me with a hand on her hip for emphasis.

"Yeah, yeah whatever," I grumbled as I sat up against my grey, wooden headboard "Just leave now. Spare me the lecture for later..."

"Fine Max. But Mom's going to be giving you one helluva lecture at dinner tonight, not me! Enjoy!" She said in a sing-song voice and hopped off to help mom with dinner. I just rolled my eyes and swung my legs off of the side of my bed and sighed.

I slumped into my seat at the table just in time for dinner. My mom set down the Greek salad and steak on the Lazy Susan and sat down in her seat. We ate it all up in about a half hour and we all sat back on the backs of our chairs and patted our stomachs.

Mom looked at me, then let out a sigh and rested her folded hands on the table. Ella looked at me with a "Here it comes Max! Muahahaha" kind of look...WTH? I glared at her with one of my icy cold glares that was reserved especially for her.

"So Max, it seems like we have a little predicament here. Why don't we talk about it?" She said as she tried to get me to look at her.

"How about not?" I replied snidely as I looked down at my "fascinating" socks. They were just plain white...very fascinating eh?

"Maximum," My mom said with one of her eyebrows raised "I want you to understand that I know you love it here in Arizona, but I just have to take this job. It's a wonderful job offer and I'll be getting a larger paycheck too. Do you understand?"

"Yeah I understand..." Wait... she's talking all about this "great new job" but yet, she hasn't even told us exactly what she was going to be working as! HOLD UP! I am so going to make a big deal about this!

"Wait mom, have you realized that you haven't even told Ella and I what you're going to be working as? You're still staying a vet right?" I said to her as I gave her my famous "SPILL IT OR YOU DIE!" look.

"Yes Max, I'm still staying a veterinarian. The thing is, I wanted to keep my job placement as a secret until later, but I guess I'm just going to have to tell you both now." She said as she took her dear, sweet time. Her eyes wandered around the room. We waited about two minutes until Ella decided to break the silence.

"C'mon Moooooommmmmmm! Stop taking your dear, sweet time and spill the beans already!" Ella whined. See? It's that obvious that she is trying to take this as slow as possible! Ella whined while she threw her arms up in the air for emphasis. She does that a lot... the "moves and actions for emphasis" thing, I mean.

"Shut up Ella and let her talk!" I yelled to Ella. She immediately shut it before I could put a hand on her mouth.

"Okay girls, you are going to be extremely excited to hear this. I'm going to be a famous vet!" She exclaimed with a huge grin spreading across her face.

"OHEHMGEE MOM! FOR WHICH AWESOMLEY FAMOUS SUPERTAR/CELEBRITY?" Can you guess who said that? Wait, no need to guess because I NEVER get excited over things like this.

"You would have never guessed Els, but TAYLOR LAUTNER!" She said looking directly at Ella. Then she and Ella screamed with joy and they literally jumped out of their seats to start doing the "Happy Dance" with eachother while holding hands.

Mom finally realized that I was still here taking this in and stopped Happy Dancing with Ella. "So honey, what do you think?"

"Uhh... cool mom! I'm happy for you" I said with a hesitant fake smile on my face.

My mom squished me into a bear hug and said "Aww thank you hun! I'll tell you and Ella the details later. Now you may be excused and go to your room while I put the celebration cookies in the oven" she said as she shooed my sister and I out of the kitchen.

Ella ran to my side and we started climbing our wooden grand staircase. "So Maxie, what do ya think of mom's new job?" She asked without looking at me.

"It's great for her, but I just really don't want to leave Arizona. I'm going to miss everyone so much! Especially Dylan! Ugh... this sucks!" I said as I slammed my fist on the wooden railing. My brows furrowed in frustration.

"Oh my god Max, you haven't even told Dylan that you're moving? You are SO stupid! I want you to go to your room and I want you to call him and tell him!" She said to me as she pushed me up the rest of the stairs and down the looooonnngggg hallway to my room. Just as she was going to open my door she stopped and gave me a 5 minute long lecture on how to be nice and gentle with the news. It started off like this:

"Call him, say hi and start of slow, then break the news to him. Be nice and gentle though! BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH." I didn't listen to the rest because I got distracted by the mouth-watering smell of my mom's chocolate chip cookies in the oven. Mmmmm... With the big chunks of chocolate that melted in your mouth when you bit into the cookie. The sweetness was so addicting. It was like you died and went to heaven when you ate them...

"MAX, ELLA THE COOKIES ARE READY!" I was jolted out of my reverie with the sound of my mom's voice calling us. Ella whipped her head around and realized that I just ditched her and her boring lecture to go get some delicious cookies.

I ran down the staircase, taking two at a time and ended up stumbling at the foot of the stairs. I quickly jumped up and ran to the counter to find a HUGE pile of cookies lying there waiting for my arrival.

"COOOOOKIEESS!" I screamed like the Cookie Monster as I attacked the pile of chocolate chip delight. I stuffed two in my mouth and my mom laughed. I didn't even bother to offer Ella some when she can down the stairs and into the kitchen. Then my mom seated us in the living room while I continued to stuff the chocolate chip cookies into my mouth.

I'll spare you the conversation and just cut to the chase. So, my mom is going to be a famous vet because she is going to be taking care of Taylor Lautner's dog. This means she gets to check up on his doggie at the Angeles Melrose Animal Medical Clinic. (The 'AMAMC'. A.k.a where my mom will be working) We will be moving into a mansion near my mom's workplace. Even though our current house is the biggest on our street, my mom said that it will be considered "puny" compared to our new house. It will include a indoor sauna, a wine cellar, a cinema room, a work-out room, a sound-proof music room, a bar, a gigantic kitchen, 9 huge rooms and a Master Bedroom; each with their own bathroom, a patio, an in-ground pool, a Jacuzzi and mucchhhhhh more! (Which btw, was ALL provided by "THE Taylor Lautner" according to my sister. Maybe this kid isn't like those snobby celebrities.) Ella and I will be going to Steve Carver High School of Los Angeles. It is apparently a VERY popular school and it is across the street from Steve Carver Middle School of Los Angeles. THANK GOD that they don't have uniforms! My mom will leave for work at 5:30 am so that means she will be gone for most of the day, but she will be home in time to make dinner. (Since I can't even make cereal, let alone dinner, without burning it...Yes, I have burned cereal before...)

Yeah... that's pretty much it...

After finishing most of the cookies, I trudged up the stairs and down the long hallway to my room. I sighed and opened up the door to my room. It was really big and it had a pop-out window with a grey cushioned window seat. I loved to sit there and look out to the forest that our house backed into. The colour scheme of my room was Sky Blue, Light Grey, White and Black. The walls were blue and at the top, there was a thin strip of white, then a thick strip of black, then a thin stripe of white again and lastly, a medium sized stripe of light grey at the top. It started at my door frame and went like that all around the top of the wall. My bed was a queen size, and it was placed in the center of the back wall that was farthest from my door. The bed sheets were exactly like my walls, except the black and blue were switched. I had some grey night tables on both sides of my bed to match my headboard. Each had a sky blue lamp on it with a stainless steel wavy stand. Then, I had a black study desk in between my door and my window. It had a pearl white Apple laptop on it. My black and pearl white SideKick LX rested beside my laptop. (I also had a sky blue Macbook and a 32GB iPod Touch in my desk drawer. I'm not spoiled! I bought everything but the SideKick LX with my own money! I got the SideKick for my 15th birthday from my dad.) On the other side of my window, my Koa wood Taylor 614ce acoustic guitar and my sleek black and pearl white (I love that colour combo) electric guitar were sitting respectively in their stands with their cases behind them. I absolutely loved my room and my house. I was definitely going to miss it. ;_;

Ugh, now I had to make the calls to my loyal and beloved friends and my loving boyfriend Dylan. Woo hoo...

And there you have it! The very first chapter of my very first FanFic! Please review and tell me watcha think! This was 6 pages and 1986 words! (Not to shabby, eh? YAY! ^.^)
