So I'm too lazy to do an interesting thing on how I'm not JP so I'm just going to say it...I'm not JP and I do not own Maximum Ride.
MAX POV
After I snapped out of it I ran back inside and flopped on my bed bringing the pillow over my face. What just happened?! Recap:
Fang found out I lived in a tent and have been starving, I pass out and he takes me in, Fang is pissed, and he just flew off with wings that only the boy I have only memories about from childhood could possibly have.
Interesting day, huh?
This cant be happening. How is it possible that out of all the places on earth I find the boy that I have longed to see again since we were little. That's right, it cant be possible. I can prove it too! I just need to look at his wrist to find the bracelet. Got it.
Once I have this all sorted out I look at the clock and it's 11:45pm. I fly onto the roof and turn my back to the balconies so he can just fly up and not try to sneak around.
This could be interesting...
FANG POV
I went out for a quick flight to clear my head. How could she not tell me? I thought we were closer than that. It just pisses me off that I didnt try to help when I knew something was up in the first place! Damn it.
It's been almost an hour so I'm flying back to the house and I see her sitting on the roof, waiting. She has her back turned to me so I can land without her noticing.
I'm silent like that.
I land and walk up to her . She looks up at me, pain and confusion in her eyes. I feel like crap for treating her like that, but I just can't get over the fact that she didnt tell me.
"Fang, I really can explain" I give her a look as to go on. "My foster parents died in a car accident two months ago. The police couldnt identify the bodies, so they didnt know I was now without parents." Well she's got me convinced...sorta. "They never kept in touch with family so I didnt have anyone to contact. I didn't want to ask any friends for help because I didn't want pity or to be a burden on anyone. But I didn't want to go to foster care again. So I took all I can and pitched a tent in the woods where you found me." I can hear he voice weakening like she is trying to hold back tears. She noticed and takes a deep breath and continues. "I didnt have much money or food so I havn't been eating. I didnt tell anyone because I didnt want, again, pity or to be a burden. That's the only reason I didnt tell you. It was so I didnt have to put you through all this. I'm sorry."
"It's cool. I'm sorry too I shouldnt have been as hard on you." I feel really bad now.
"There's one thing I need to do real quick." huh?
"What is it?" and right then and there she gets up and pulls my sleeves up. She starts shaking.
MAX POV
I pull up his sleves and there it is. A black bracelet with wings. I'm stunned and fall to my knees. I'm pretty sure Fang has the crap scared out of him since he is already by my side.
It's him, it really is.
"Max! What's wrong?" he asks
I try to respond but I can't find the words. I'm in so much shock.
"Max, speak!"
I had no other way to get what I'm thinking through to him. So i simply reach my hand into my sweatshirt and lift up my necklace. His face screamed undertandment.
FANG POV
She falls to her knees, complete horror on her face. I start to panic.
"Max! What's wrong?" I yell, scared to death for her
She tries to speak but can't.
"Max, speak!"
Then she does something that I never thought she'd do. She pulls out a long necklace with a polished looking rock on the end. It has an F engraved on it.
Then it hits me, she's the girl. She's the girl I shared the most important part of my life with that I've only seen in dreams since. It's her. She's Max
"Whe-where'd you get that?" is the only thing I can manage to say.
"From the same person I gave that bracelet to." she responds finally calming down, her voice still ringing with her emotions.
"I dont believe this." I say stupified.
"Believe this" and she unfurls her beautiful wings. Okay, now I'm 100% convinced. "I think we've had enough excitement for one night. We can talk tomorrow." and she flys down to her balcony leaving me on the roof. Wow.
