This is a really short chapter, and I aplogize for that. Hope the excitement in the next few chapters will make up for that!
Chapter 7:
MAX POV
I landed so hard on the beach that I almost did a face plant in the sand. After everyone else was settled and happy, I laid down my towel and sat down, watching the rest of my flock play happily in the water. I thought about last night and Fang and my head almost hurt from all the emotion that was going on inside there. How would Fang and I being together affect the flock? Would the like it? Or hate it? Were Fang and I together now? Or do both of us just kind of know we like each other but we're not exactly together? Would I still be his best friend, or would liking each other ruin everything? What if Fang and I being together was a bad thing? Oh my god! This is worse than a brain attack! I tortured myself with these pointless questions all day, one question leading to another, and then another, and then another…you get the point.
Max, you need to focus on saving the world. Not about your love life with Fang.
Oh shut up!
You also need to keep moving Max. You are putting both Ella and Dr. Martinez in danger by staying with them for this long.
I frowned. As much as I hated to admit it, the Voice was right. I was putting Ella and Dr. Martinez in danger. As much as I didn't want to, we would soon need to be on the run again.
I was had finally relaxed and was sun tanning, when a soft humming came to my ears. The sound of hundreds of Flyboys coming at you, ready to attack.
