Hi people! Sorry it's been so long since the last update! School+Homework+Life+Writing fanfics seem to not go together. Anyways, here is the next chapter, Enjoy! WOW! This is a A/N !!

Max's P.O.V

"Yup, that hotel will do." I agreed with Amy, not really sure what to say after she literally stole my words out of my mouth.

We swooped in closer and landed somewhat gracefully in the bushes nearby..

"Ow! Son of a- " Yelled Iggy as he managed to slip and do a face-plant in the dirt.

We all exploded into fits of laughter as Iggy started furiously wiping dirt off his face. Just as we composed ourselves he managed to walk strait into a tree, setting us off again. I guess he was either preoccupied about something or was having an off-day. Finally we calmed and walked through the hotel doors.

"Could we have two rooms please ma'am?" I politely asked the woman at the desk.

"Sorry, we only have one, but you can have it half price, seeing as there is so many of you." she replied smiling, "£20, that includes an all-you-can-eat breakfast at seven."

"Sounds great." I handed over the money and she gave me a key.

"Room 14, on the left, down that corridor." She nodded towards a corridor and we set off in search of our room.

Angel skipped alongside me and beamed, grabbing Amy's and mine hands, walking in between us.

"Can't wait for the all-you-can-eat breakfast!" exclaimed Gazzy excitedly.

"You bet!" replied Iggy.

"I wonder what they'll have there. Maybe there will be those tomato things there were in New York? Or that stuff we had in England, you know, when we stayed in that hotel with the free mints and-" Nudge began.

"Nudge! Shut it!" ordered Gazzy, smiling at her.

Instantly Nudge was quiet, silently apologising. Finally we reached our room. The key card slid through the lock easily and the door beeped as it opened. I stepped in, analyzing the room, Amy stepped in beside me. We all started the usual checks, no-one in the cupboards, under the beds, no bombs hidden. Within 15 minuets we decided the room was secure and settled in. There were two single beds and one double. There was also a couch in the living room. Wow, this was a big suite, and it was cheap. It even had a mini-kitchen and the living room had cable T.V. Now came the sleeping arrangements.

"Right so who wants to sleep where?" I asked, smiling at the flock.

"I got the floor." came Amy's instant reply as she swung her backpack onto the floor by the couch.

"Right, so how about Angel and Nudge in the double bed and Iggy and Gazzy in the single beds?" I offered, "Me or Fang will take the couch, the other the floor."

There were nods and murmurs of agreement and everyone set up their sleeping areas. I placed my bag next to Amy's and pulled a blanket out of my bag, laying it on the floor.

"You sure you want the floor?" Fang asked, he was so sweet.

"Yeah, I don't mind." I replied, smiling broadly.

He turned Amy, who was busy sorting out the contents of her bag, "What about you? You okay on the floor?"

"Yup" she replied quickly, but smiling nevertheless.

Gazzy came over to me, looking hopeful, I grimaced, hoping he didn't do anything too bad.

"Maaxxx. I'm hungry! Can we order some pizza?" He whined, I let out a breath, nothing bad then.

"Yeah sure honey." I replied, "Who wants pizza?"

Various cheers and 'yeah!' came from everyone. I smiled and sifted through the leaflets on the small wooden table in the kitchen until I found one for a pizza place. I picked up the phone and dialled the number. By this time I had learnt all of the flock's favourite pizza toppings by heart, so I started reciting the long list, then realised I forgot someone.

"Amy, what do you want?" I mouthed, she just shrugged, "Two of the last one please." That settled that.

They said they would be around fifteen minuets and that they would drop the pizza's at the reception. So we all sat in awkward silence of that fifteen minuets, which was strange, considering that the flock was never silent. We phoned the reception, but they had not arrived yet. I decided it was time for Amy to do explaining.

"Amy, w-what happened to you after we left?" my voice was cracking now, I felt terribly guilty for leaving her behind.

"Well, I got a few new scars, ran away a few times… Always got caught though. I wondered what happened to you after I woke up- apparently I was in a coma for a few weeks, but I heard Jeb let you escape. So I figured you and the flock were safe, I didn't mind being left behind knowing you were safe. When you saw me I had managed to escape after annoying someone 'important' but the Erasers hunted me down. I-" she was cut off by the phone ringing, I was too shocked to pick it up, I felt so bad for her. I could see the hurt in her eyes. I had never noticed before, but she had scars on her wrists. Had she tried to-?

"Yeah, be right there." It took me a while to realise it was Fang talking into the phone.

"Pizzas here." he announced. I would have expected the flock to be happy, but they were just looking at Amy, sadness in their eyes.

I looked at her wrists again, but this time she seemed to notice.

"I'll get the pizza." she called, instantly pulling up her façade again, fake smile plastered on her face. She walked out the door before anyone had chance to react, pulling the door closed behind her, she headed for the reception. I was still to preoccupied by the scars on her arms, had she tried to kill herself? Did the school treat her that bad? Now I felt really guilty. But at least she was with us now, safe-ish.

Just then a piercing scream and a gunshot rang out from the lobby.

I think there is something wrong with the spacing on here, sorry. Word is spackered up. And sorry for the cliffy! I seem to be good at cliff-hangers, and I have to go practice keyboard now before my teacher yells at me :L
