Another flash. It went back to beeping. I was really getting frustrated with the thing. I wanted to throw it against a wall. But, of course, it would do no good. Ugh. Just my luck. I wasn't a fan of beeping things. I wanted to rip all my hair out. I wanted to scream. I felt so trapped and alone here. No one seems to know how I feel anymore. About anything.
"Fang. Could you PLEASE do something with that thing?! It's really starting to tick me off! UGH!" Fang got a smirk on his face. Angel had been gone for about 4 hours now. She couldn't even be close to being to my mom's house yet. Which was a drag cause the suspense was killing me. "Ya know what. I'm gonna go for a walk since I can't fly. I'll be back later."
"I'll come with you." Fang said.
"I don't think so!" I didn't want to listen to the annoying beeping thing.
"I'll leave the thing behind! Geez!" Fang was finding quite a lot of humor in this. That was so typical of Fang. Stupid, stupid Fang. I would enjoy ripping his face off at the moment.
"Fine." I walked off not waiting for Fang, but he caught up quickly. We walked in awkward silence for about 20 minutes. "so what is it you wanted to come along for?"
"I don't know…I just wanted to be with you. We never really get to be alone that often." This was making no sense at all.
"HA! We spent hours alone together! You remember? That time when you-" I cut myself off. "I mean when we dive bombed into the ocean?" I almost mentioned that time when he kissed me. But luckily I saved myself from the humiliation.
"I know what you were going to say Max. It's ok you know. I was there." But I didn't want to talk to him about it again. "I know you liked it Max. you can't deny it." He grinned as if posing a challenge.
"UGH! Fang! I did not!" I lied. I did like it. I just didn't want Fang to get his way. He always got his way. This time, I would get MY way. It was hard, lying to Fang. He's like a 'Max lie detector.' He was the only one that could see through my lies. Which was sometimes a pretty bad thing.
"you liar! Yeah you did!" his grin grew wider. He always finds these types of things funny. Whoa! I almost ran into a tree. I needed to start watching where I was going. I stopped at a log and sat down hoping he would keep going and not notice that I stopped. But he did. He turned around and sat next to me. "Come on Max. I'm kidding. Don't be mad."
"I'm not mad."
"Sure you aren't." he took my hand in his. I didn't pull away. I pulled closer. I rested my head on his shoulder. I closed my eyes slowly and thought of all the good times that I had with Fang. There were too many. Like the time when we were about 12 years old and we laughed through a movie. I couldn't remember which movie it was but all that mattered was that I was with Fang. He could brighten any day. I remembered all the pranks that everyone in the flock pulled. Especially me and Fang.
All I could do was smile. Fang looked at me and cocked his head. I smiled back. He stroked my hair and all I could think about was Fang. Only Fang mattered. Fang was the only thing that made my world. Fang made everything worth while. Fang made me push myself. To push myself to make everything ok. To keep the flock safe. Fang saved me from myself.
