M'kay. Just so we're clear, Iggy isn't blind in this story. Cause he doesn't have wings, so they didn't experiment on him, so they didn't do surgery on his eyes. Oh, and another thing, Max is eventually going to sing in this Fanfic, but some of the songs are sung by guys, so, you'll just have to imagine her singing them. Anyways! Enjoy, please review!

Chapter three:

I stood by the thing that carries your luggage out feeling depressed. I had actually left my Dad, something I had never done before, at least not willingly.

But he wouldn't want me to wallow in loss while I was still at the airport, no, I would save the wallowing for later. I decided to use the new gift my Dad gave me and call this Anne person. Apparently my 'Uncle' couldn't care for me because he was always on the road and set up the adoption, but would call to check in on me every couple months.

I sighed and turned the stupid thing on.

...

I was completely lost. How was I supposed to find her phone number in this thing?

I tried several different icons when I was about ready to trash the thing and walk to the address by myself.

I felt a pressure on my shoulder. All my senses went on alert. Did someone just drug me?

I whirled around almost in fighting stance when I realized it was just some kid tapping me on the shoulder.

I assessed him. He had strawberry blonde hair and was about an inch taller than me. He had very pale skin and was kind of skinny. Nope. Just a kid, not an eraser.

"Can I help you?" I asked scathingly. He looked like a deer in headlights; shocked at my reaction to him tapping me on the shoulder.

He stayed silent for a few seconds. I raised my eyebrows. He shook his head. "Urm, sorry for bothering you, but it looked like you were having some trouble with your phone, and I wanted to know if you wanted some help."

My eyes widened. This was soooo out of my comfort zone. Battling s full grow black-belt man twice my size? Sure. Evil scientists chasing me all over the world? I could deal.

But someone being nice? So not my thing.

Calm down Max. I told myself. Dad erased all Itex's traces on me. This guy is just being nice. You're going to have to get used to this.

He was still waiting for a response. "Um, yeah that would be great. I'm trying to find a contact my... Uncle put in here for me and I can't find it." His eyebrows furrowed together. Was this kind of thing common knowledge? "Never held a cell phone before in my life." I said.

He nodded and took the phone. "Who are you looking for?" he asked.

Deep breaths, he's not trying to find stuff out about you, just trying to help you out.

"Um someone named Anne Walker." I said. His eyebrows rose.

"Anne Walker?" I nodded. "Are you Maximum?" he asked.

Calm. CALM. CALM. "Uh, it's Max." He smiled.

"Anne's my mom, I came to help carry your luggage and stuff while we take you to your new home, and I'm Iggy by the way."

"Ah." I said. See Max? Nothing to be afraid of.

"Come on I'll show you where she is." I nodded. "Oh, wait, is all that yours?" He said eyeing my two suit cases, my carry-on and my two guitar cases. I nodded. I was already had my carry-on slung over my shoulder and was holding my guitars, so he picked up my suitcases.

"Thanks." I muttered.

"So you play?" he asked eyeing my guitar cases.

"A little." Was all I said. Oh for Pete's sake! He was just being friendly. Why can't I be nice?

Because I don't trust him. I sighed internally. I knew I would always use that excuse for everyone here, even though I haven't met them yet. But I knew the excuse would be enough for me not to talk to people.

"Ah." He fell silent; I wasn't giving him that much to work with. Well get used to it, pal.

"Mom's just waiting by the car." He said as we headed to the parking lot. I nodded.

I followed him up to a shiny silver hybrid pruis, that had a woman standing next to it.

She was average height, I guess. About 5 4". She had short blonde hair; to her chin, and it was the same colour as this Iggy guy. When she saw me her light blue eyes lit up.

"Oh, you must be Maximum!" she exclaimed.

"It's Max." I muttered again.

She smiled. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Max. I'm Anne Walker, I'm your adoption agent, so if you have any problems feel free to contact me."

She was looking at me expectantly. What was I suppose to answer? "Um, yeah thanks." I muttered.

I figured I was allowed to seem upset and sullen; my "parents" had just died after all.

She didn't seem to be bothered by my lack of willingness to speak, she continued "Right, well I don't think you'll have any problems; I'm also your next door neighbour, and Valencia is my best friend."

I nodded.

"I see you've met James." When she looked over at him her eyes widened "Oh, sorry sweetheart let's put that luggage in the car."

My eyebrows furrowed. "I thought it was Iggy." I said. He lied to me? Why?

He smiled at me with the same bright blue eyes as his Mom. "My mom calls me my real name, James, but everyone else I know calls me Iggy."

"Oh." Was all I said.

We followed Anne around the back of the car and she unlocked it.

I stared dejectedly as they put my suitcases in their trunk. They, like me were being sent to a new place that they had no choice in going to.

Sorry it was kinda fillerishy but she's gonna meet the Martinez's next chapter! Oh and a special shout out to who gave me my first review! 3 thanks!
