So howdy everyone. I thought I might let you know that there are going to be various songs throughout the fanfic, so if you do not like these types of fanfics, this is not one you want to read. Max/Sam will not be in a band because that's been done a lot, but she will be a fill in/helper for a band, and will occasionally drift into song. If this is okay with you, please ignore this message and enjoy the 3rd chapter

Max's/Sam's POV (would it be too confusing if I put Sam's POV for max? let me know, cuz Max's/Sam's POV is too long.)

By the way, this now 2 years later. Max/Sam is 16.

"Sam. Saaam. SAM!" I returned to reality from that flashback, only to see one of my best friends, Jackie, waving her hand in front of my face.

"Mmm?" I mumbled.

"I said, Melissa broke her arm. We need you to sing for our band next Friday. You up for it?" Jackie asked me, a bit exasperated.

"Yeah, sure." I occasionally fill in for Melissa, their band's singer.

"Ooo goodie. Hey here comes Jesse!" Jackie yelled. Who is Jesse, might you ask? He's my other best friend.

"Hey Sam. Jackie." Jesse said, sitting down next to me. He leaned over and kissed my cheek. Did I say best friend? I meant boyfriend. Same difference.

At that same time, my 3 other friends came over. Macey, Trevor, and Mike, all sat down at our table. And yes, it DID have our names on it.

See, I live at a boarding school. In my small town in Virginia. It's the only school, so it houses all grades. Up until 8th grade it is not required that you live at school. But as you enter the high school years, it is required. And my roomies are Jackie and Macey. Then Jesse, Trevor, and Mike room together. Though it isn't really rooming. It's like, each house has a couple floors and each floor has 3 rooms. So we all have a room to ourselves, but our roomies are the ones who also live on that floor.

We've known each other since 4th grade. So when we met, we met at this table. Eventually people picked up on the fact this table was ours, and we wrote our names on it.

It's a nice table, outside, underneath a big weeping willow. It never gets rained on, but it always gets a nice amount of sun.

"So, how's it going?" Macey asked. Macey is kinda short, about 5'1" and is on the girls soccer team. And the basketball team. And the baseball team. I'm not really of fan of sports but I go to her games, and she's really good. She has light brown wavy hair and hazel eyes. She's the jock of the group.

Jackie is taller than Macey, but not by much. She's about 5'3", with bluish black hair, that goes down to her waist. Her eyes are brown, but kind of green as well. Not hazel though. She's a fashion freak. Prep, if you know what I mean.

Trevor and Mike are twins. They both have short blonde hair, and green eyes. I don't know how tall they are, but they're taller than me and I'm 5'9". Trevor is really nice, but obnoxious. Mike is kind of a jerk, but he's nice to his friends. He's got the tough guy attitude. I called him Mr. Macho once. He didn't like that.

Jesse isn't as tall as the twins, but he's 6' exactly. I measured him one day in health class. He stood so still I thought he was going to fade into the wall. He's what most people call emo. I call him that. He doesn't mind though. He's got the whole all black all the time thing going on. And he rarely speaks more than a sentence at a time. Mr. Rock, that's him. He's got straight black hair that's almost always covered by his black beanie cap thing. When his hat thing is on, his hair falls to just below his ears. His skin is that tanned color. Like his skin tone is white, technically, he just looks like he's got a great tan. And his eyes are so pretty. They're like electric blue. Which is really quite in contrast with his black style, but they suit him.

He was the first friend I made when I moved here. It was funny really. I had gotten frustrated with the school because I was lost, and had ended up sitting under the weeping willow at our table. I was supposed to be in class. Then he just came up, sat down in front of me and said "lost?" I glared at him and he had glared right back. That made me smile and I nodded. He showed me to my class, which turned out to be his too. I never really found out why he wasn't in class. We became best friends after that. And around 8th grade, he asked me out and I said yes. That's all really.

Me? I'm tall, I have blonde hair that is a bit brown streaked and has red tips. It's down to the middle of my back, when I'm not wearing it up. I have brown eyes. And I'm on the schools track team, and gymnastics team. I'm pretty skinny because of gymnastics, but I eat like there's no tomorrow.

"Hey guys. Nothing much. I heard next week we're getting new kids. And I have to show them around." I elbowed Jesse. "And it's all your fault. If you hadn't shown me to my class, I would have never memorized this school's map." He smiled a bit and shrugged.

"Really? I hope there's a hot guy. I'm sick of the people here." Jackie said and I laughed. Trevor and Mike faked looking offended. Macey just shook her head and smiled. And Jesse just, well sat there.

"SO you playing for the band next Friday?" Trevor asked me. He's the bass player. Mike's the drummer, and Jackie is the lead guitarist. Sometimes, when I sing for the band, Jesse joins in as a guitarist and sings some songs with me.

"OH yeah! You know I love singing for you guys." I said, and Trevor looked confused for a second.

"Singing? Is that what you call that?" Trev even got a smile from Jesse for that one. Then the bell rang over head.

Me and Jackie and Jesse headed off to Geometry, and Mike and Trevor and Macey headed to Chemistry.

I had a feeling today would be a good day. And it was.

Fang's POV

We've been searching for Max for about 2 years. We've had false leads and dead ends. Everyone's hope is fading, and we aren't faring too well.

Nobody's spoken to me, with the exception of Angel and a few mutterings from the others, since Max left. Its all my fault. If I hadn't been so hardheaded, so stupid she wouldn't have gotten mad at me. I cant do this leader thing. I cant take care of people.

And that point was proven when we're captured and taken to a school not even a month after Max flew off. We hadn't been looking for her. We hadn't know where to start. But when we got captured everything was clear.

They had shown us a video. It was filmed the day Max ran away.

"Well, Max, to what do we owe your presence?" The Director asked.

"I want you to make me forget. Forget the flock, forget my life, forget my wings, forget everything. I don't want to remember anymore, I don't want to remember anything." Tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Oh, Max. Anything we can do to help." Max smiled. "Come with me. We'll see what can do." and leading Max by her hand, she kindly walked Max into another room.

Max sat down in a seat and electro things were placed on her head. A needle was placed in her arm.

Max fell unconscious.

The film went blank.

"You see," Marian Janssen had said, " Max came crying to us to help her forget. And so we did."

I stared in disbelief. That was Max. she had come to them for help. She had willing given up her memories so she could forget the Flock, her wings, …me. and it was all my fault.

"what did you do to her?" Nudge asked softly. You could tell she was upset and I wanted to do something to help her but I wasn't Max. all they wanted was Max.

"It was simple really. We just turned her back into a child. Without wings. She's on a medicine now. It keeps her wings from developing. Her other features that came with being a hybrid, she still has some of them." The Director told us. " but stopping the pills wont return her memories or allow her wings to grow. She chose to lose them. She has to want them back."

I knew why she was telling us this. Even if we happened to find Max, she would have to want us back. And she wouldn't want me, but with the Flock comes me. it was a no win situation.

We'd have to convince her somehow. To want us back. To want me back. But how could we do that, if she didn't even remember who we were?

After that incident, we escaped and started searching the country. We figured she stayed in the USA. We finally hacked an Itex, and found Max, or Sam as she's now known, in a little town in Virginia. So it was off to Virginia.

Please Max. PLEase remember us. Please just want us back. The flock misses you. I miss you. Forgive me and forget all this happened.

She'll forgive you. She's she'll remember. We'll find a way to get her back. Don't give up hope.

Thanks Angel.

A/N sorry it's kinda short. But the next chapter is skipping to next week, so I left it off there. Hope you still like it. I think this chapter isn't the greatest. OH well.
