This is important.
So I decided to do a sequel with all the options because you weren't telling me what you wanted.
Recap of what the options were:
I do a sequel with Iggy and/or Fang's POV.
I do a sequel of Angel and Lucas (without Max being dead—well if you want it to be after she dies, tell me.
I do a sequel of Nudge and Iggy (" " same as number 2)
I do a sequel of Gazzy and Skky (" " same as number 2)
I do a sequel of the information at the top but it's of Max and Fang
I do a sequel of Fang finding Max's body.
All of the above (But choose between 5 and 6.)
Here's the deal: I'm going to do the next chapter of number 1 and 6, but really the third chapter is going to be the funeral and some other stuff. Then I'm going to do a sequel called ' ' that will be number 2, 3, 4, and 5. It will be a whole new story, not an attached chapter. But the beginning will be Fang finding out Max left, flying after her and then saving her at the last possible moment.
So this is going to be 1 and 6, enjoy, as best you can
"FANG!" I heard from upstairs. Iggy had been calling out names of all the Flock, except Max. I looked over at Chloe—my girlfriend—who was currently pouting. I sighed.
"What's wrong Chloe?" I asked, touching her cheek.
"You know what!" She snapped. "Max always has to make a scene. I don't get it. Why cant she leave us alone?"
"I don't know." I mumbled. "But Ig's calling me, I'll be right back, k?" She nodded, and I gave her a quick kiss before jogging up the stairs.
When I got up there I heard people moving around in Max's room. That's weird, but whatever. I quickly turned from where I had been heading into Iggy's room and walked to hers.
"Alright, Ig, what did you wa—"
Before I could continue I was interrupted. By a fist.
If I had been more aware or more in practise, I probably would have been able to stop Iggy's hard fist from almost snapping my jaw, but I wasn't so I was now in a lot of pain. I grabbed my jaw and looked up, surprised more than anything, and saw that Iggy's eyes were blazing. Behind him on Max's bed and windowsill the flock+Lucas were all sitting, crying. Well, all except Max.
"Why did you punch me?!" I yelled. Everyone looked up then and glared at me.
"I HATE YOU!" Angel yelled, and before Lucas could stop her, she had jumped up and started to pound on my chest. She may only be only eleven, but she is strong! The air was soon knocked out of me. "You…had…to…ruin…everything! I…hate…you…so…much, you…son…of…a—" She was about to continue but Lucas had gotten up and took her by the shoulders to the corner of the room and crushed her into his chest, where she then started to sob.
"What…?" I asked again, just getting out of the way of Nudge's fist. But while I ducked back from the head blow, she kicked me in the stomach and I lost my balance and fell over, but caught the door frame on the way down.
"You killed her." Gazzy said in a scary calm and menacing voice, slowly walking over to where I was sitting against the door. "You killed the only mom I ever had. And now I'm stuck with you as a parental figure. But you know what? I hate you. So you can go die. Iggy is the knew Fang just less goth and more fun." With that he kicked me, too, in the chest.
"What are you talking about? What mom are you talking about? Are you saying I killed Dr. M or something?" I was confused and out of breath.
Iggy walked up to me and grabbed my collar and lifter me off the floor, to a little above his height, him being a few inches taller than me. "You killed Max, idiot!" He hissed.
What was he talking about?!
"YOU KILLED HER! WHAT IS THERE NOT TO GET?!" Angel shrieked.
Well…
"SHUT UP!"
Iggy pushed me into the door frame, so the wood was being pushed into my back. "Nudge, would you…?" He asked through gritted teeth.
Nudge walked up to me, a hard expression on her face. She had some papers in her hand. She looked down at the first one, after giving me a glare. She started reading.
"Dear Flock,
Iggy, I know you are going to kill me after telling me not to do anything, but remember you'll always be considered my awesome brother. I know you will make it so far in life."
I didn't get it. What is this?
Nudge put the paper at the bottom of the stack and read the next one,
"Angel, remember you will always be everyone's little angel. Take care of the Flock, and I really hope you and Lucas will live a happy life. You deserve it."
I looked over to see Angel giving Lucas a sad smile, while he rubbed her back soothingly.
Nudge took the next one,
"Gazzy, please stay the little trooped, you'll always be the best little brother, I'm so proud of you, don't blow up your school and make sure the girls don't go to your head. Take care of your sister."
Gazzy walked up to Angel and put a hand on her shoulder, but gave me a hard glare.
Nudge looked up at Iggy and he nodded to her encouragingly. She continued,
"Nudge, Nudge. I am so proud of you too. You are so strong and courageous, beautiful and caring. I know you'll do well in life and become famous one day. Make sure you don't hurt any ears, and take care of Iggy, he loves you."
Iggy looked over at Nudge and nodded again, as if confirming this. I didn't get it. What was this? Where was Max? And what was happening?
Nudge opened her mouth again, but before she could say anything Chloe had stomped into the room. But she stopped when she saw the hating expressions on the faces of my family. She turned to me and her eyes widened.
"What is going on in here?" She screeched and ran over to me, but Nudge stuck her leg out, a bored look now covering her face, and she fall on her stomach.
"Nudge…" I said in a warning voice.
"Fang…" She said equally warning, maybe even more so.
"Fang? What's going on?" She asked again, but on the floor.
"Oh, yeah. We cant let Fang have all the fun. Its her fault too." Angel said, for the first time, not yelling, but in a creepy, mean voice.
"Don't even think of touching her, guys." I warned again.
"Someone tell me what is going on and why you are holding Fang like that!" Chloe yelled.
"You want to know?!" Iggy yelled, getting all up in her face, well, as much as he could while holding me against the door. "You do? Really?" She nodded. "Well," He laughed humourlessly. "you killed Max. You helped kill the Great Maximum Ride."
"What are you talking about?" She asked.
"'What am I talking about?'? Well you see, Max—I believe you know who that is—has just left. There is a ravine a few miles away. Filled with pointy rocks."
Chloe just snorted. "One; she can fly and two; how do I fit in this?"
Gazzy's face was a hard line when he said, "Duct. Tape."
My eyes widened.
"…so?"
Angel exploded, "SO SHE TOOK THE DUCT TAPE, TAPED HER WINGS AND JUMPED OFF THE EFFING CLIFF!!"
My eyes widened even more but Chloe sighed, "But what does that have to do with me?"
Nudge walked over to me instead of Chloe, got all in my face and pocked a finger into my stomach, hard, on every word. "She loved you, moron. She has been trying to prove to you that she is worthy this whole time. She has been nothing but nice. You didn't happen to realize that she talked less than you, and that she never smiled. Right. You didn't. You ignored her. You unbecame her best friend. She was so caught up saving the world and your ass that she didn't have time for love. She couldn't love, and that's where you come in; telling her, helping her to love again, that it was safe. And now," She gave a laugh, before her voice became very cold. "She's dead."
Woah.
And this time, when she tried to punch me, I couldn't move, so I took the blow to the other side of my face, making both sides ach.
"Are…she's dead?" I asked, making sure I heard correctly.
"YES!" Lucas yelled, speaking for the first time.
"Where is she now?" Chloe asked, not sounding as concerned as I thought she should be, but this was a shock to me, too.
"BY THE RIVINE! Do you not listen?!" Iggy yelled, but not as loud because, I'm guessing, he was loosing his voice.
Nudge put a hand on Iggy's shoulder and looked over at the corner where Gazzy, Angel and Lucas were. Giving me a last shove, Iggy dropped me and turned to the window; in less than three seconds me and Chloe were the only ones in the room—my guess is Iggy or Nudge took Lucas.
In a split second I was out the window, too, and flying as fast as I could. The shock was wearing off. Max. Max was dead. And it was because of me. Had I really not noticed all that? She had been hurting and her best friend wasn't there. I was such an idiot. I let my girlfriend come between me and my best friend; the person who knew me better than anyone and I have known my whole life! Yeah, she doesn't deserve me…but its too late now.
I poured on the speed and flew to where I saw the others had stopped. There was almost no light, but what there was, was enough.
I landed and saw that Nudge was holding duct tape in her hand, a far off look in her eye.
"C'mon. We…have to go. Maybe she's still alive?" But we all knew Angel's words were in vain.
Everyone started the decent down while Lucas held a flashlight I didn't know we had, at the top, shining it down.
I was the last one down and when my feet touched the ground I looked around; the first thing that I saw was Nudge throwing up over on the side, Iggy rubbing her back and keeping her hair out of her eyes. Then I saw Angel curled up with Gazzy beside her—both of them crying.
Then I turned and almost threw up myself.
Yo, I'm sorry. I know this is probably the worst story you have ever read.
Now, if you haven't read the top—please do. It was important info.
Like I said, the next chapter is going to be the funeral and what he sees.
By the way; this is the result of being sleep deprived from nightmares, hallucinations and just plain headaches. I'll up date as soon as possible.
This is definitely not my best work, I apologize.
