Nothing Like This- Chapter 7 (3 Month Mark)

MAX POV

3 Months.

I have officially hit a 3-month mark in a lot of subjects.

-3 Months back with the flock

-3 Months that I've been 16

-3 Months that Fang and I have been together (and the flock still hasn't figured it out.)

-3 Months since I've seen any sign of the School, or an Eraser

Oh, and there is another, but I don't like to talk about it. Actually, I'm quite ashamed about it. I am 3 months pregnant. It is the month of September and I have finally ended my first trimester of pregnancy. But now, I had a lot to worry about. With moving along, my stomach has grown slightly. You can only really tell when you see my bare stomach on its side but I have been wearing big t-shirts instead of my usual cute and sophisticated look. I'm officially scared, and I admit it, which is hard for me. Of course, the flock is a bit freaked out to, but that is because I have begun my "weird food-craving phase". Like once…

FLASHBACK

We were sitting down for lunch one afternoon. Iggy had set up a sandwich bar along the picnic table and we were all glad to just dig in. My sandwich started out normal…with a slice of rye bread, covered in mayonnaise, and a slice of turkey. But, things automatically got out of control. Once my sandwich was finished, it was like this…

White Bread

Mustard

Bologna

Pickle slices

Cheese

Catsup

Seaweed

Vanilla Icing

Ham

Strawberry and Grape Jelly

Turkey

Mayonnaise

Rye bread

The flock stared at me in awe as I dug into my…concoction. It was gone in 5 seconds flat and then I made another…and it was gone in 5 seconds flat. The flock kept grossing out but I told them it actually tasted good. So, Gazzy, being the mysterious boy that he is, tried it…and ended up puking it out.

FLASHBACK ENDED

Or, there was that one time, during our hike…

FLASHBACK

We were walking along a trail that we had made many years ago. We took annual hikes along this long trail. Once we were hiking along and we found a few blueberry bushes. We confirmed that they were blueberries before eating some. I accidentally eat a leaf with one and it was good. So, I continued to eat the berries with leaves and that freaked out the flock.

FLASHBACK ENDED

It's a good thing none of them has gone through with this before, or they would know what was happening. I am surprised that Mr. I Read The Dictionary And I Remember It All (Fang) hasn't noticed what is happening to me. Oh well, I guess it's a good thing, right?

I groaned as I inspected my slightly bulging bare stomach in my mirror. I dropped my shirt back over my stomach before heading out and into the girls' room. I bid them a goodnight and held out my fist. They stacked and tapped and then repeated the process for Gazzy and Iggy. I skipped Fang's room and slipped into my own, where Fang was waiting. I automatically threw my arms around his neck as he brought his own around my waist. Our lips met in a sweet kiss that lasted a few seconds. It was pure bliss, life has never been better. 'Well, no, this is better!' I thought as our lips met again. Fang hesitantly upped the passion, making sure it was ok with me. I moaned, to my utter horror, and I felt Fang smirk against my lips.

I expected him to pull away but he brushed his tongue against my bottom lip, asking for permission. I smiled and let him in and within moments, his tongue had touched all over my entire mouth. It was perfect…and that made me feel even worse. After a few minutes, we pulled away, catching our breath. We leaned our foreheads together as we both whispered in unison, "I Love You!" He brought his lips to mine once more before walking out of the room.

I stood there for a moment, feeling giddy as I could still feel his lips on mine. But, I wiped the smile off my face as the voice interrupted.

Come on Max, you must get going!

I thought you didn't want me to go, I thought you wanted me to tell them?

Well, you clearly aren't listening to my ideas so I will follow yours for now.

'Well, thank you' I thought as I grabbed my backpack, which I had packed earlier that day. As I hopped up to my windowsill, I looked back at the note lying innocently on my bed. I shook my head to clear my thoughts before jumping out of the window, flying away. I wanted to go back and just tell the flock that I was pregnant but that wouldn't work out, cause since it was Ari's child, Iggy and Fang would be pissed and the others would be equally grossed out.

Not everything is, as it seems. The voice chimed in.

I questioned the voice but it said no more. I hated when it talked in riddles like that! Oh well, I thought, turning my attention back to my flight…I had a long journey ahead of me.

NEXT DAY

IGGY POV

I awoke to complete and utter silence. It was strange, and I came to a conclusion. I hopped up from my bed, feeling around me. I was…not at the school I sighed as I head out the door. I head into the kitchen and proceeded to make breakfast, as it was 8:00am. I quickly whipped up some bacon and eggs and left it on the table to cool. Nudge was down in minutes, having smelt food. After her, came Angel and Gazzy. I missed being able to see their faces when they lit up with glee. I had been blind for just about my entire life. I knew characteristics about the flock, like Gazzy and Angels big blue eyes, or Max's blonde hair. But, I couldn't really see them anymore, and that was hard. I heard Fang creep in and he sat down hungrily, well, about as hungry as Fang gets, which isn't much.

I listened around, waiting for Max to walk in. When she didn't I head to her room, listening for mumbling in her sleep or for the rusting of clothing, if she was getting dressed. He He, I laughed to myself as I remembered the time I walked in on Max changing. I was blind, so I couldn't see her, and she knew that, but she slapped me anyway. I swear, my cheek was cherry red for a week! Hearing nothing, not even breathing, I began to worry. I quietly opened the door and made my way to her bed. Placing my hand gently on her pillow, I trailed my hand downward on her comforter. Her bed was made? She never makes her bed this early in the morning. I gasped as I came to a possible conclusion, but I hoped it wasn't correct. I came upon a folded piece of paper a few moments later. Running my hand down it, I could feel Max's handwriting etched into the paper with a pen.

Running out of the room and into the kitchen, I shoved the paper in Fang's face, almost tripping on Total (yes we still have that stupid dog) on the way. "Read it out loud!" I nearly screamed. I felt the note leave my hand and the flock gasped. I listened intently, as if I don't all the time, while Fang began to read out Max's note.

FANG POV

"Read it out loud!" Iggy shouted. I grabbed the paper hurriedly and quickly scanned it. With a deep breath I read…

Dear Flock,

Well, I hate to leave you again, but this time, I wasn't captured and I'm not going to the school. I had to leave because of a personal reason. I truly wanted to remain with you but I was unable to. As I will not see you for another year or so, Happy Early Birthdays to everyone!

Angel-I love you and I will miss you very much. Stay strong and we will see each other again. Don't Worry.

Gazzy-My little trooper! Be careful with your bombs and don't give Fang any trouble. I expect you to protect your sister. Luv ya!

Nudge-My motormouth! Well, all I have to say is that I will miss you and watch what you say! Don't get on Iggy and Fangs, or Gazzy and Angels for that matter, nerves. I love you, never forget that!

Iggy-Like I told Gazzy, keep an eye on those bombs. And, take better care of the house. Last time, I spent 4 hours cleaning. Well, cya!!!

Fang-Don't worry, I'll be alright. I'm not going to do anything dangerous and don't come looking for me. I'll miss you and ill see you in a few!

I love you all and I will not forget you. Well, I'll miss you!!!

Love,

MAXIMUM RIDE

P.S.-Fang "Je t'aime ! N'oubliez pas cela ! Je voudrai le manque vous plus ! Je t'aime !

I didn't read out the postscript to the flock, because it was addressed to me. I knew automatically what is meant. I had taught Max a bit of different languages and this was the most recent one, French. I quickly blocked Angel, knowing she may be poking around in my head, and I didn't need that.

I looked around at the flock, whose heads were bowed down in silence. The rest of the day followed the same, all of us sitting around, mourning the second loss of our brilliant leader.

MAX POV

I landed in a small backyard and was instantly flooded with memories. I laughed silently before knocking on the door before me. It was about 10:00 in the morning so they were sure to be up. I heard shuffling feet and the door snapped open. With a huge smile, they led me inside. Reluctantly, I explained my situation and asked if I could wait it out here. They instantly agreed and then the girl came up to me, sobbing as she threw her arms around me. "Everything will be okay Max, everything will be okay." She muttered. I wasn't sure that I fully believed that but I just replied, "Yeah Ella, it'll all be okay."

Well, that's for reading this update and now, plz review! I'm sorry if any of the characters were OC, I try as hard as I can to keep them in character.

Well, sorry about the French up there, but I needed a secret note from Max to Fang, that only he would understand. Here is the translation…

FRENCH: Je t'aime! N'oubliez pas cela! Je voudrai le manque vous plus! Je t'aime!

ENGLISH: I Love You! Don't forget that! I'll will miss you the most! I Love You!

Well, plz review!
