"Max?" Nudge's voice was small and hard to hear. I did not say anything just kept my head in my hands.
"Who the heck is Max?" Danny said standing up studying all of us. I stood up and wiped my tears off of my checks. I just stared at Danny.
"You know what I could freaking care less if you knew squat about me! But how 'bout you try to at least act like you care about me and the rest of my flo… I mean Friends… Okay?" I said, my voice slowly rising. Everyone was staring at me. Danny looked like he saw a ghost.
"Okay, Max let's go cool you off… Monique, and Jeff you guys hold down the fort." Fang mumbled as he put his hands on my shoulders and steered me down stairs.
"Alexis and I are going for a quick walk." Fang yelled over his shoulder as he shoved me out the door.
"What?" I said when we were down the street. "I was just about to tear him apart!"
"Yeah and that would go over so well." Fang said. I was freezing and Fang must have noticed because he took his leather jacket off and draped it over my shoulders.
"Thanks… Fang I'm really worried. What if I can't help them?" I said my voice threating to crack. Fang wrapped his arms around me. I rested my head on his shoulder and cried. He let me; he knew I had to get it all out sooner or later.
"Max of course you can help them. You are Maximum Ride." Fang said. I smiled up at him. "You can do anything you set your mind too." Fang smiled then kissed me.
"Hey! What the heck do you think you're doing?" Danny yelled running up the road.
"Crap." I said pulling away from Fang.
It had to happen sooner or later…
