Max's POV
I yawned and opened my eyes. I had got about an hour of sleep, staying up on watch duty till 5:00am. Thinking about my feelings towards Fang. Eventually I had decided not worry about my feelings and that they would eventually find a way of working themselves out. But when I had finally gone to bed I only had dreams of Fang's near death and me saving him. Which reminded me of Fangs phone, I quickly got dressed and spent no longer than I had to in the confined space of the tent. How did Angel manage to get the bigger tent? I thought to myself hoping she didn't hear. As I put on my jeans I took the phone out of my back pocket and unlocked it. The background picture was of me and him having Ice cream at the dock; I remembered our kiss and me running off. I quickly went through his pictures, a few of his new gang, but mostly of the flock, and even more so of me and him together.
"Angel who took my phone?" I heard Fangs voice coming over from Angels large tent. I wandered over and unzipped the front of the tent.
"Good morning sleepy heads" I cooed trying not to look at Fang or his bare chest.
"Morning Max" Angel replied and I bent down and gave her a hug.
"Oh, and here's your phone" I said to Fang in a slightly colder tone. He said nothing and didn't stop looking at me, he had his signature face on which expressed "You don't know a thing about what I'm thinking". I groaned and zipped up the tent before checking on the others. She's so beautiful, even when she's angry. I paused shocked for a second not knowing how to react. What just happened? I said to myself. I decided not to take notice; it was probably Angel just trying to mess with my head.
Fang POV
Angel looked confused then shrugged
"I'm sure that it will come back into your possession very soon" She said and I knew she knew more than she put on.
"Are Yo-" I was interrupted by someone unzipping the tent and Max's voice saying "Good morning sleepy heads"
"Morning Max" Angel replied in a cheerful voice. I gazed up at her perfect face and beautiful brown (Or is it blond!) hair and deep into her brown eyes. She took no notice of me and bent down and gave Angel a hug.
"Oh and here's your phone" Sting in her words. We made eye contact for a split second before she groaned and left. She's so beautiful even when she's angry, I thought to myself. I picked up my phone noticing that max had looked through all my pictures I sighed as I looked at the picture of me and her eating ice cream at the dock, knowing that moments like that would probably never happen again.
"Ok everyone up and at em!" Max shouted from outside the tents.
"Fang don't look I'm getting changed" Angel said as she took off her PJ's and put on a pair of jeans and a shirt covered in teddy bears. "Even if you did I would remove the memories from your brain." My jaw dropped
"You can do that?" I said shocked
"Fang, you should hear what I did to Iggy when he stole Celeste from me." She said as she exited the tent. I'm just glad she's on our side. I pulled my black shirt over my head, got up slowly and walked outside slowly managing to keep my balance. I saw Max barking orders to the rest of the flock and went over to join them.
"We're packing up so that when my mum (mom) finishes tending to Fang we can roll out. We 're going to back to her house for a while till Fang is better and we can decide what to do with him" I winced as she said the line "What to do with him." He knew that Max would take a vote on whether or not to allow me back into the flock. "Because he can't fly he will be travelling in the car with my mum (mom) and one of us will have to go with him incase they run into trouble. Any volunteers?" she finished but my bet is that she already knew no one would want to miss out on a long fly home by seating in the enclosed space of a car. "Fine we'll do short straws." She pulled out 5 straws, one of which was a lot shorter than the others.
"We'll do age order, youngest to oldest!" Angel cried picking a straw, normal length. I watched as it went all the way round the circle until there were only 2 straws left. Please pick the short straw Iggy! I looked up at max in bewilderment realizing what had just happened. Did I just read her mind?
Max POV
Please pick the short straw Iggy! I thought to myself, but of course knowing my luck he didn't. I rolled my eyes taking the last straw out of my hand with a shortened end on it.
"Great" I said in a sarcastic voice. I looked over at Fang; he saw me doing so and gave me one of his rare smiles. I wanted so much to go over and hug him and kiss him and say that I missed him but I couldn't. I wasn't the soppy Maximum Ride who gave into her feelings and so I just scowled back at him it was cold, colder than I thought and I felt sorry for him when I saw his smile drop, but I had no time to for apologies as mum (mom) had just arrived in a big 4×4. She turned off the engine, opened the door and ran up to hug me. After the flock and Fang greeted her, he explained what had happened.
About 1 hour later Fang had a cast for his shoulder, and the bullet had been removed from his chest. There wasn't much she could do about his wings, but I knew that they would regrow over a couple of nights.
"Who's joining me for the ride back?" called
"That would be me and Fang," I said as I out emphasis on the me part.
"Great you can tell me all about how life has been recently and get back up to speed with Fang" She said as if Fang had never left.
I knew that San Diego was near the bottom of California, near Arizona but still a few hours drive.
This is going to be one of the longest car journeys ever…
