Chapter 10- Everyone Hates Mondays.

Disclaimer- I'm not even going to put these anymore.

Saturday and Sunday consisted of hanging around the house and just having a good time as a family. It also consisted of Cooper and I having midnight make out sessions, but don't tell anyone. It was Monday, and we were skipping school because we were taking Ella to the airport to send her back home. I carried her like last time and dropped her off. We cried and said our goodbyes and I made her promise to call when she landed. She said okay and ran off to catch her plane. Cooper hugged me and I felt instantly better. We left the airport and flew home. We landed and went inside. I realized that the door was open in the front room. I figured that someone left it open, but then I remembered that we all left through the back door. "Guys, I think someone's in the house" I whispered. We all went off in pairs, ready to attack whoever it was. Cooper and I snuck up to my room and I gasped when I saw 5 erasers in there. They heard the gasp and attacked immediately. I screamed and everyone else rushed over to help. It was 6 to 5 and we took them out easily, but not without one getting a nasty scratch down my chest, ripping my shirt in the process. I cleaned it out and bandaged it once we got rid of the erasers. "okay, everyone, pack up, we're leaving. It's not safe now that they know where we are. Meet back in here in 15 minutes." I commanded.

I ran into my room and got my clothes together in a backpack. I ran out after ten minutes and saw that the only other person ready was Cooper. I ran up to him and hugged him and kissed him quickly before running off to help everyone finish getting ready. 5 minutes later we were in the sky, our house below us. We flew for about 15 minutes before we flew over the school, which just ended for the day. Of course, the old flock saw us and jumped up. They flew over to us and asked where we had been. "We were attacked by erasers. And I wonder how they found us. It couldn't be that you guys led them here, could it? No, definitely couldn't have been that." I said sarcastically. I started to fly away but Gazzy grabbed my hand.

"Max, we're sorry. Are you okay? Where are you guys going?" he asked innocently.

"I don't care if you're sorry. No I'm not okay, I have a huge scratch down my chest. I'm not telling you where we are are going. Now don't follow us and just leave us alone!" I yelled.

I thought I saw Gazzy start to cry, so I turned and flew off before I could be sure. I knew that if I saw him cry I wouldn't be able to leave. I heard six sets of wings flapping behind me. I spun around. Okay, Cooper, Nudge, Zach, and the twins made five. So who was the sixth. Of course.

"Fang, I'm going to tell you one more time. Leave. Us. Alone." I said calmly.

"But why Max?" he asked.

"Because, you are not the person I am with, you are not the person I am ever going to be with. I know that's hard to deal with, but move on, find someone new. And when you find the right person, you will know. I realize who I need to be with, now you need to find it out for yourself." I said to him.

"How do you know he's the one for you?"

"I just do. I feel it, and I had a dream the other night. I had two hallways to chose from. I went down yours, and it was horrible. When I went down Cooper's it was perfect. The perfect house, the perfect kids, a perfect life. Then you show up and murder the kids that were on your side and kill me all just because you couldn't let go of me not coming back. Your never going to let go if you don't move on, Fang." I said, just to him. I could tell the others heard, but I didn't care. I needed to get Fang to move on.

He just nodded sadly and Cooper put a protective arm around me. "Goodbye Max" was all he said before speeding off, back to his flock.

We took off and flew for a few hours before landing at my mom's house. Just as we landed, I called Ella. "Hey Ells, you never called to tell me you landed!"

"Oh, sorry Max, I forgot. Well, I'm at mom's now." I heard her say from the phone."

"Okay, well, tell mom and Magnolia that I said hi!"

"Okay Max. Oh! That reminds me, I have to take Magnolia out. Bye!" and with that she hung up.

A minute later I watched her walk out the front door, then turn and see me. She squealed and told us all to go inside. I ran in and hugged my mother. She smiled and hugged me back when she saw that it was me. I told her everything, from being kicked out, to being here now. All that I left out were the midnight make out sessions Cooper and I had. When I was done she said to make ourselves comfortable and that she was going to go make dinner. I went into my room and Cooper came with me. We just sat on the bed and talked and laughed and had a good time until my mom called us for dinner.

After dinner, I convinced my mom to let Cooper sleep in my bed with me because he helped me when I woke up at night. We walked back into my room and layed down on the bed. I faced him and kissed him on the nose, the cheek, and the forehead. He grabbed my chin and kissed me on the lips. We lay there, kissing for a few minutes before there was a knock on the door. We pulled apart and I went to open the door. My mother stood there with a smile on her face. "Max, do you know what is 4 days from now?" she asked, smiling creepily.

Oh crap, my birthday. "I have no idea what you are talking about. Goodnight, mother" I said and went to close the door. She stopped it with her foot.

Well, you might not want to know, but I'm sure Cooper wants to know. Max's 18th birthday is in 4 days." she said.

"MOM!" I yelled.

"What's so bad about your birthday, Max?" Cooper asked.

"Ugg, I hate it when people make a big deal out of it! I mean, I'm just turning a year older, what's so great about that?" I said.

He just laughed and hugged me. "How could someone not make a big deal out of it? Your amazing and special and wonderful, you deserve it." he said.

I blushed and my mom muttered something about giving us some space. Cooper and I laid back down and went back to what we were doing before my mom came in. I pulled away and he frowned. I just smiled and asked "hey, did you say something the other night, the night I had the dream? I thought I heard you say something, although it could have just been my imagination."

He smiled nervously. "Well, I did say something. I said... I love you"

I blushed and smiled. "Well, thank you" I said. He looked hurt, and just looked more hurt when I laughed. "I love you too, you dork!" I said and he smiled again. He pulled my face to his and we kissed innocently for a few moments. Then I nestled my head into the crook of his neck and fell asleep.

A/N okay, everyone say it with me- 1,2,3 AWWWWWWWW! Hope any Fax fans out there reading this don't kill me! Although they probably would have by now, but what ever. Well, happy Thanksgiving! I should be posting more later. My mom's asleep, my dad's watching some game, and my bro is playing wii so I'm bored with nothing better to do.
