Max…..where are you.
Please talk to me…
He's looking for you… Angel's voice echoed in my head like a broken record. I wanted to answer, but I couldn't find the strength to even think. The rain poured over me and I shivered uncontrollably. I pressed my body close to the garbage can, hoping the cold metal was warmer than me.
Max….please. I opened my eyes slowly. I looked around me and felt tears slip from my eyes.
"I can't"
Oh, Max! we've been looking for you forever. I felt my gut drop. How long had I been out? I stretched out my arms and a felt a familiar pain in my side. The newly healed ribs were bruised again, but not broken like the last time. I felt tired and weak and my eyes started to drift again. The sudden footsteps racing down the ally, scared me enough that my eyes instantly opened up wide. Nudge came running down the cobblestone and slowed down, when she saw my face. Nudge walked to my side and placed her hand on my forehead.
"Iggy, I found her!" Iggy and Gazzy came running down the ally next and crouched down next to me just like Nudge. Iggy touched my face and traced my hands.
"Your so…cold." I nodded even though I knew he couldn't see it. Nudge's face contorted into a look of discomfort. She through her arms around me and hugged me tight.
"Oh. Max. I was so scared! You and Fang were fighting…and then you ran off. Nudge shook her head. "We thought we were never gonna find you." I hugged Nudge back with all the strength I had. "I'm so…sorry" my voice cracked. Nudge wiped away the tears away from her eyes. Gazzy hugged me next and Iggy scooped me up in his arms. I felt better and the old Max was coming out. "Let me down, I'm fine." I squirmed a little, and Iggy smiled. "Your emotional state is totally wrecked and your too tired from being out here all night." My mind wandered somewhere else. "Were are the others?" "You mean Fang and Angel? After you left Fang went crazy, he would stop saying how he wouldn't forgive himself if you got hurt or left. Angel came up with a master plan. Since Fang was gonna rip apart the city looking for you, Angel took Fang back to the hotel, were it was nice a quiet for Angel to concentrate so she could try to find you telepathically. I nodded, Angel's plan was impressive and smart. It was something even I, wouldn't have thought of. Gazzy, held my hand the whole way to the park, and into the forestry part. Nudge looked from side to side and patted Iggy on the shoulder. "U&A" Iggy, Gazzy, and Nudge unfolded their wings and pushed off the ground. It only took a few minutes to get to the porch of the presidential suite. I could see Fang sitting on one of the chairs out on the balcony. My stomach dropped at the site of Fang.
What if he doesn't want to talk to me anymore?
Are things gonna be different.
Things were different the minute you kissed him.
Beaches was not the best places for us mutant bird kids. Iggy stepped on the porch. I watched as Fangs body tensed up as if he committed a crime that couldn't be forgiven. Fang stood up and looked at the ground. "You look…horrible" I looked at Fang and knew I could never be not be friends with Fang. I laughed lightly, but my voiced cracked. "You don't look so hot yourself." Fang looked at my eyes. He looked sad and pained and for the first time in my life since knowing Fang, he looked …scared. "Can we talk?" I nodded and asked Iggy to put me down. Iggy, Gazzy, and Nudge walked inside the door and closed it behind them. "Fang, really…it's okay, I started it and I overreacted I-"
"But I hurt you Max." The words stung and coming out of Fang's mouth, it sounded wrong. Fang stepped closer and traced my scrape with him thumb. I placed my fingers gently on his black eye. " And I hurt you." He shrugged. "It doesn't hurt." I shook my head. "And neither does mine" He smiled a little and a small tear slid down his cheek.
"Will you ever forgive me." I was in shock when I saw the tiny tear streak down Fang's face. I wiped the tear from Fang's face and a small tear (matching Fang's) slid down to my chin. "Of course." the sudden warmth of Fang's arms made my skin prickle it delight. " I acted like such a jerk." Fang's words sounded harsh. " when the flock saw us that morning….I just…. Got embarrassed and took it out on you. I promise I will never do that again." He whispered the words in my ear and they sounded genuine and real. My stomach did a flip as Fang gently kissed my forehead. He did it so lightly as if I was a doll about to break. Fang pulled back and looked at me up and down. "You look like hell." I laughed. "Well, I did sleep by a garbage can." Fang pulled me into his arms and scooped me up. He open the sliding glass door and walked in. I looked up at Fangs face to find the same unemotional hawk boy I loved. "You need to take a hot shower and then eat some food." He set me down and Angel ran at me full force. "Max your back!" Angel hugged me tight. "Angel, I missed you so much sweetie." Angel looked at me and leaned into my ear. "Max, Fang loves you…a lot." I looked at Fang and back to Angel. Angel nodded and skipped back to Nudge and Gasman watching T.V. I opened the bathroom door and took one look out. Fang watched over me protectively and nodded. "Go." I ran back out of the bathroom and hugged Fang one last time. "Thanks…" he looked puzzled "For what?" "For being here."
"I'll always be here." I smiled at Fang and surprisingly Fang smiled back. I closed the bathroom door behind me and lost my self in the nice hot shower.
