So, I decided to check my e-mail real quick before my friends were coming over and I had reviews! I think there were like 4! I decided to update out of pure joy that it was reviewed! I hope you all like it because; well I owe you all for not updating. By the way…I'm sorry Edward and Carlisle mostly speak in, a more…professional way. I was reading this book and it took place back in like the 1880's. I do actually like the way they speak though. It sounds super sophisticated. Wait until my teachers hear me talk like that…and they always say I'm immature. Well anyways, enjoy this next chapter! I'm also sorry for writing such a long introduction.

Chapter 4
POV: Maximum Ride
We've been waiting for over 2 hours.
I hate waiting!
I'm not patient at all.
I was pacing the room continuously for the last hour.
"Max, calm down, no one has made any move to harm us." I heard Fang say from across the room.
"Yet." Fang looked at me with a look that said 'If you don't calm down I'll calm you down myself'. That of course shut me up.
I walked over to where Fang was sitting and sighed when I sat down next to him.
We spoke in a low tone so the other kids couldn't hear.
Not that they were paying attention.
Angel was comforting Total, even though the medicine gave him seemed to be working.
Gazzy was sleeping on the couch.
Nudge and Iggy were having, what seemed to be a rather intimate conversation. Nudge blushed a few times.
That scared me.
Fang and I were sitting on the couch across the room.
"Fang, look at Iggy and Nudge."
Fang looked over and shrugged. "They're talking."
I rolled my eyes. "Notice how Nudge blushes every now and then?"
He nodded.
"That means Iggy must be showing her in some way that he likes her."
Fang leaned back into the couch and said "Nudge doesn't run away."
I was appalled.
How could he say that?
"That is such a completely different situation Fang!"
"How is it so different Max? It's almost exactly the same!"
"If they get together, then break up, the flock won't be in danger of splitting up!"
"How do you know that?"
"Nudge is not the leader; Iggy is not her right hand man, her best friend. All they have to worry about is following me, and you. Their relationship wouldn't be under any pressure." I explained to him. We were kind of whisper-shouting.
"And ours would?"
"Yes! With finding food, a place to sleep, and being on the run all the time, there's a lot more stress! We're likely too get into a fight about a disagreement over something completely un-related to our relationship. Then we'll split up, along with the Flock. We've been there, Fang! I don't want to go back!"
"I wouldn't crack under the pressure Max! I've been under more!"
"There's always the chance."
Fang seemed to think for a little bit before responding.
"I'm in LOVE with you Maximum! Even if we did get into a fight, I wouldn't let it divide us. I can't be apart from you. I've been there and I don't want to go back."
That was probably the most words I have heard Fang speak in one cluster.
I didn't know what to say.
I don't have any experience with boys!
Or, at least boys that are my best friend!
What was I supposed to do?
Tell him the truth and say that I was in love with him too?
That would be risking the Flock.
I couldn't do that.
So I did the only thing I could think to do.
"I'm sorry Fang, but your feelings aren't returned."
"Cut the crap Max! If they weren't returned, you wouldn't be making such a big deal out of this."
I didn't expect that.
"Even if your feeling were returned, which they AREN'T, nothing would happen between us."
"Or at least you won't let it."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Fang was getting quite sassy; it kind of turned me on.
What?
No it doesn't…
Okay yes it does, but that doesn't mean anything!
"It means that if you let yourself return my feelings, this would happen…"
He trailed off and leaned in closer.
I made ONE mistake.
I looked into his eyes.
My only weakness….I'm so STUPID.
When I looked into his eyes, I couldn't stop myself.
It was as if a current was pulling me toward him.
Whoa, that was pretty deep.
He leaned in and our lips met.
He kissed me furiously and, I kissed back.
I couldn't help it, okay?
My lips started to part and so did Fangs.
His tongue looked for entrance.
I let him in.
Then my tongue went into his mouth.
We did that for what seemed like only a second, but in reality was like 5 minutes.
When we pulled away we were both gasping for air.
"There's something there, Max, you can't deny it."
I couldn't.
I noticed Nudge, and Iggy's heads turned in our direction starting, open mouthed.
I'm guessing Nudge relayed the events to Iggy.
"We'll talk about this later" I whispered to Fang.
He looked over in the direction I had glanced before responding and nodded.
Nudge came over to me.
"Max, I just wanted to let you know, since Christmas is only a few days away, Iggy and I decided not to tell any one about you and Fang. Think of it as an early Christmas present." Then, with a wink she left.
She went back over to Iggy.
I watched them talk, sitting on the love seat together.
I didn't mean to, but in complete admiration I leaned my head on Fangs shoulder.
He wrapped his arm around me and held me closer.
I smiled as my head started to place itself on his chest.
Fang moved into a laying position.
I was lying somewhat beside, somewhat on top, of him with my head on his chest.
It was like a dream come true.
Then I was dreaming, when I fell asleep a few minutes later.
I woke up to Nudge looking at me giggling.
I was still lying on Fangs chest.
I looked up at him.
His eyes were closed, thank god.
But his hand was rubbing up and down my back.
I wanted to stay here forever.
Sadly, the clock read 2:30 p.m.
I had to get up; would probably be back soon.
I got up, but stayed seated next to Fang's lying form.
About 15 minutes later Fang got up.
Then, about another 20 minutes later Dr. Carlisle came in with a bunch of other people.
There was a very handsome boy; he looked like a high schooler, very pale though. Exactly like . He had bronze hair.
There was a girl at his side. She was extremely beautiful. Brown hair, and very pale, just like the rest of them.
Another very handsome boy, with Blonde hair was also pale. They all looked like they were high schoolers.
Though, the last boy looked older. Still seemed young though. He wasn't pale. He didn't seem to have any relation with , and who ever these people were.
"Max" I heard in my head "The boy with the Bronze looking hair is Edward Cullen, the other boy, with Blonde hair is Jasper Cullen, the girl is Bella Cullen, she's married to Edward, and the older looking boy is Seth Black."
Well they seemed like an interesting bunch.
"Edward can read minds."
Great.
"He wants to know, if we can live with him and his family."
Angel was asking this as Carlisle was introducing his family.
Turns out Jasper can control emotions, and Bella has a mind shield.
Seth is a werewolf.
That made me tense up.
"He's not an eraser, I asked Edward. He and the two others are perfectly safe for us to be around, as long as we aren't a threat. Can we live with them? PLEASE MAX!?!?! Nudge wants to too. So does Gazzy! Iggy even! Fang is a little curious! School won't be that bad!"
Whoa! School?
I actually said my anti-school opinion aloud.
Just to get a witty response from Edward, who was a vampire?
That's not something that happens everyday.
Quite Unexpected.
So, I gave in.
Between the Bambi eyes from Nudge and the invasion of my mind from Angel, I couldn't say no.

Alright, I hope you like it!
I'm sorry if you don't like the Niggy pairing. I'm more of an Eggy person myself, but Ella didn't fit in here. I know most of the chapter was focused on Max and Fang, so I'm sorry if there was a lack of plot. But then, you already know what happens from Bella's POV!
Please R&R It'd be greatly appreciated!
I'll be updating more often now, by the way. Because, I actually have an idea for this now, unlike when I started it.
