(Yes I actually wrote the song! I went through SO many titles for this song, so I just choose this one. It's not very good because I haven't written in such a long time. But I stayed up one night racking my brain for an idea for a song and right before I went to bed it came to me. So I stayed up a while writing it. It's kind of long so brace yourself. And it's kind of weird, but I always wrote weird songs. Tell me if you want me to put up more of my original songs!! Okay, enough of me talking, here's the fic now.)

Falling (Me)

I tried to find my way to the back as quickly as possible. I really didn't want an encounter with Lyle, and I didn't need one either. I took a quick glance at where he was standing and he was still glaring at me.

I rushed into the back and was caught by Joel.

"Good show Jackie!" He said to me. I nodded and looked over his shoulder to see if Lyle was standing there. To my surprise he was still in his dark corner, giving me the death glare.

"Thanks, do you mind if I leave early?" I asked desperately.

"Why-?" He looked in the direction I was looking and and said, "Oh. Go ahead."

I sighed. "Joel, you're a life saver." I sighed, changing out of my uniform.

"I know." I smiled at him and made my dash to the door.

Of course, I didn't make it. I was stopped by You-Know-Who.

"You made a mistake last night." He said in a dark tone, his brown hair hanging over his eyes, reminding me of Fang. But that was all that reminded me of him, besides, Fang was much better looking.

"No, I've made a mistake for the past year. I just broke from detention." I said, thrusting my arms from his grip.

I walked into the parking lot and unlocked the car door, and Lyle fallowed. I put the keys in the car and he turned me around.

"This is what happens if you disobey me." He said, with fire in his water-colored eyes.

I wasn't quite sure what happened after that. I tried to get in my car, and then there was a gun fire. After that there was screams and people calling, "Jackie!" Then everything went black.

Fang swore he felt her stop breathing.

His wings stopped for a minute and he fell probably fifty feet, then he came back to his senses. She...she stopped breathing? Was she...dead? No, Fang would know if she died, the world would be different for him. But he knew she was hurt, and badly.

(This is a day or two later FYI)

I opened my eyes to a bright white light and Allison squealing. I groaned, god that got so annoying.

"OH MY GOD YOU'RE AWAKE! JUDE! SHE'S AWAKE!" Allison screamed, and then she looked at me. "How are you? Are you okay? You've been out for like, ever! I thought I'd lost you!" She said as Jude walked in.

"What happened?" I asked, dazed by the bright lights.

"Well, I guess Lyle was pissed about what happened and he shot you." Allison told me. "How are you feeling?"

"Okay." I said, trying to sit up, but Jude stopped me.

"You're going to start the bleeding again." He told me, genitally pressing me down. "You were shot just above your stomach, but below the really important stuff. So take it easy."

"Well why are you here?" I asked.

He smiled at me. "I was at Allison's house-"

"Ooh!" I interrupted him, taunting them.

"Yeah, I know, ooh, anyway, she got the call that you got shot and pulled me over here." He told me. I looked at him and Allison and grinned.

"Shut up! He should be grateful that he's here! I was going to take him shopping." Allison said, crossing her arms and thrusting her chin up.

"And I am." He admitted.

They left after a while and I was grateful to be alone. I took the buttons off my shirt and genitally took off the bandages to see the damage. Jude was going to kill me when he found out. I looked at the hole and I stopped breathing for a second. Why would they keep it open like that? Shouldn't they stitch it up or something?

There was a knock on my door and I quickly put the bandages back on and buttoned up the shirt. I winced at the pain of moving quickly. A blond nurse, probably around my age, walked in the room with a clip board.

"How are you?" She asked me. I just nodded to let her know I was okay.

She walked over to me and examined my bandages. She looked up at me.

"You moved around didn't you?" She asked, gingerly pressing down on the wound to stop the bleeding.

"A bit." I admitted.

She sighed and pressed down a little harder.

"You look familiar, have we met before?" I asked, looking at her face, trying to take in the image.

"Probably not." She said, "Does this hurt?" I shook my head.

Then I suddenly remembered who she was. That girl...from the school. She was one of the mutants that we set free from the Institution ten years ago. That's when we found Total. We offered to take her in but she stayed with everyone else.

"You have wings." I whispered to her.

She looked up at me, suddenly scared. "How- How do you know?" She breathed.

"Because I'm like you." I whispered back.

"Max? Maximum Ride?"

I smiled, happy that she recognized me.

She got up and closed the door. "What happened? You disappeared! I ran into your flock last year-"

"You found them? Are they okay?" I interrupted her.

"Yes they're fine. But where did you go?" She asked me.

I sighed. "I had to leave."

"By the way I'm Emma." She told me.

"And you know who I am."

(This got a little screwed up in the process of putting it up.)

I am in

taking a step out

Watching the world fly in

slow motion

Where am I?

Standing there on the other side?

Once at a time

I'm standing in two places

All that I know is falling

All that I hope won't let a dream come true

There isn't more than a

happy never ending

Inside the other door

Waiting for you

It seems you'll never walk away

(Far away) I listen

waiting so long to hear you say

what you need to

Too long?

Just another girl?

She doesn't look like that to me

All that I know is falling

All that I hope won't let a dream come true

There isn't more than a

happy never-

Falling

Too far under

Drowning

In the fear that I have

lost you

It doesn't matter much

It doesn't matter much to me

I am in

taking a step out

Watching the world fly

in slow motion

Too long?

Just nothing?

She doesn't look like that to me

All that I know-

All that I want-

All that I need...

The story of my life.
