Max's POV
I stared up into my saviours turquoise eyes. They looked down at me in shock, in fear, in pain.
"Dylan?" I croaked but he stayed silent as he flew away from the tower.
Surprisingly I didn't try to wriggle out of his grasp, I just took hold of his shirt with one hand for steadiness and let him fly me away.
Within a few minutes he had flown to a hill out of sight from the city. He flew down and placed me on my feet.
"Dylan?" I asked as he stood there with his back to me.
"What were you thinking Max?" he asked, still not turning around to look at me.
"I-I don't know" I whispered.
He suddenly whipped around and looked at me with such intensity and some anger. I had never seen Dylan like this, he was always the mellow, soft one.
"You tried to kill yourself. What were you thinking Max? Were you just going to leave everyone behind? Iggy is always lost, always scared. He cant see Max! Were you just going to leave him in the dark? He lost Angel. He would have lost you and Fang, suddenly making him the leader, he cant do that, he wouldn't have survived. Nudge loves you! She isn't the happy kid I first met, she doesn't talk anymore, it's been months since I've seen her smile and you were just going to leave her! She's had more loss in her life than anyone should have to have! And what about poor Gazzy? He just lost his little sister, and now he was going to loose his big sister as well? Stop being so selfish Max! Your not the only one whose hurt and just wants to give up on everything! I always thought you were the strong one of the flock, but your not, you looked for the easy option. You were just going to leave. That makes you worse than Fang. That makes you selfish and weak" he yelled at me.
I took a step back, his words stung like he had just slapped me in the face. They stung because they were true.
For the first time in months, a tear trickled down my face. That one tear seemed to cause a reaction because after that they just flooded out. He stepped towards me and wrapped his arms around me.
"I'm sorry Max, but you needed to hear it. You needed to know your needed and you cant leave" he whispered in my hair and I buried my face into his chest.
We just stood like for what seemed like hours before I dried my tears and could talk.
"She's gone. She's dead and its all my fault" I whispered to him and he pulled away a bit so he could look at me.
"No it's not Max. It was just something that happened. You couldn't have stopped it. Just imagine Max, she could be up there watching us now. She wouldn't be judged wherever she is, she would be at peace" he whispered and that thought actually comforted me.
"She'd be jumping up and down cursing at me for being to stupid" I said with a small smile and Dylan smiled at me, making my smile slowly grow a bit bigger.
"Feel better?" he asked. I thought about it so I could answer honestly.
"Yes" I said.
I felt more at peace. Sure I was still sad and horrified at what happened, but I felt like now I was on the way to recovery.
"Wanna go home?" he asked.
"We don't have a home" I frowned.
"Home is where your loved ones are" he said cornily but I didn't say anything because he was right.
"Let's go home" I said.
I surprised myself as I reached over and took his hand in mine, lacing our fingers. He looked at me and I looked up at him.
"Thank you Dylan" I whispered.
"I'll always be there Max, I'll always be there to take you away from the edge" he said, not in a romantic way, but in a obvious determined way.
I didn't know what to say, so I pulled him to a stop and stood up on my tiptoes and kissed him. At first he didn't react in shock, but then he kissed me back. With Fang it had always been fireworks to kiss him, nut Dylan felt like magic.
Fang and I had something once, but it left the day he left me. People change, people take different roads and make different choices. Fang had made his choice, and I had made mine.
Dylan was my choice. He had been there for me throughout all this, he never left. He wanted to be with me, he wanted to help me. He wanted to fix me. And I wanted him too.
In the back of my mind I knew Fang was coming back, but it was too late, I had made up my mind.
"Max, are you sure you know what you're doing?" Dylan asked.
"I'm sure" I said kissing him again but he pulled away.
"First you have to know this. I will always be there for you, I love you Max. And I love you because you're so amazing and everything I could want, not because they say I have to. This is my choice" he said and I smiled.
"And you're my choice. I love you Dylan" I said and kissed him again and he let me.
