Hey, guys.

I'm still sick. D:

I've had a lot of time to write, thanks to that... However, I have a Spanish project due tomorrow, and English due Thursday.

Luckily English won't be that bad, see as I'm doing my project on TAE(:

Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride. D: Dangit...


"Hey, Brigid," Fang sighed as he pried her arms off him.

That's my boy.

He looked in at me, standing over the bathroom counter using my left arm to brush my hair and untangle the mess.

"Fang, I heard about Max, is she okay? Oh, and Ella, I can't believe that happened! And Iggy, he was crying! I can't believe it! I always thought he was like… Incapable of crying!" I looked out the door and shot Fang a confused glare.

He nodded. "Max is okay." I walked out of the bathroom to stand by his side and he nodded again. "Yeah."

Yeah what? Yeah to Ella or Iggy? Or the crying? Or… What?

"Oh, Max!" Brigid murmured, and I guessed she didn't think I could see when she practically tackled my boyfriend. Whoa. Boyfriend. My mind stuttered for a second then worked properly again.

"Hey," I said coolly as Fang wrapped his arm around my shoulders and kissed my messy hair. She hesitated for a minute and I smiled on the inside. "Look, it's really nice seeing you, but I gotta go see Iggy and my flock and my mom." I said in one breath easily.

Then Fang looked at me. "No offense, but aren't you going to change?" He asked, and I remembered I was wearing the dress still.

I looked down laughing, then nodded. "Yeah. Forgot about that." I muttered, and turned to my bag. Fang turned to Brigid and shooed her away. She wasn't so fast to go, though.

"Would Doctor Martinez allow you two to be in the same room while one of you changes?" She asked, obviously trying to come up with an excuse to get Fang alone. My jaw tightened.

"We're not kids, Brigid. Plus she needs help." He told her, getting annoyed. I was already annoyed. Her obsession with Fang plus thinking we would be stupid or whatever was running through her mind? Ugh.

She nodded and walked out the door, shutting it behind her. Fang turned to me, shaking his head, smiling. But I wasn't ready to smile, just yet.

"Why didn't you tell me? About Iggy crying?" I asked him confused.

He matched my look easily and sighed. "It didn't come up, and it wouldn't have helped you. He misses her, more than you know, and he knows it's his fault you're arm is like this."

"Whaaaaat?" I asked, beyond confused. "How is this his fault?"

He really looked like he was losing patience. "If he hadn't been trying to freaking kill himself, you wouldn't have had to save him." He told me, his face not far from mine.

"Oh." Was all I could say. I never thought about it that way.

But, now that I knew that I smiled. "Okay. Thanks for getting rid of Brigid, by the way. I really wanna get out of this room. If she stayed I'd be stuck in here forever." I laughed, and he knew that was just an excuse for me being happy she was gone, but he didn't say anything.

"Let's just go," He smiled, and helped me get out of the skin-tight dress. He'd already grabbed a pair of my jeans, skinny jeans that my mom got me a while ago, and a blue shirt. Unfortunately, when you can't move your right arm, you can't put on pants or a shirt.

When he saw my struggling with the jeans, he walked over and grabbed a belt loop on the right side, while I pulled up on the left side. Then my shirt… Was just… An epic failure. I tried shoving my head through the arm holes several times, and pulling the shirt over my bad arm. Finally, Fang gave pity on me and grabbed the shirt, first putting the bad arm through, then my head, then my other arm. Then he pulled it down over my stomach and smirked.

"Congratz," He chuckled, pointing to the clock. "You wasted forty-five minutes."

I looked at him and hit him with my left hand and he grinned. Finally, finally, finally, we walked out the doors and to the dining room, where everyone was sitting. Except Ella. I held my breath and Fang rubbed circles on the back of my hand with his thumb, attempting to calm me down. Then Iggy got up.

Quickly, he covered the distance in his magical way to know where everything is. "Max, I'm so sorry." He muttered, and I heard him say other stuff like, "so stupid," "Ella," "saved my life," "I can't believe it," "I'm so, so, so, so, so sorry," and so on.

I cut him off. "Iggy, shut up." I said, trying to stop the tears. "It's not your fault no matter what you think. It wasn't your fault she was taken, and it's not your fault you love her so much. Truth is, I'd do the same thing if anything like that happened to Fang. Heck, if anyone tried to stop me I wouldn't stop, I'd take them with me," I said, and felt Fang's gaze turn on me. "It's fine, and just worry about staying alive, so when we find Ella you two can have a mushy reunion that will make me wanna hurl." I told him, and I saw him smile. I hugged him gently, not using my bad arm, and he smiled bigger.

"'Kay." He smiled and went to sit back down. Me and Fang walked up to the breakfast buffet and he grabbed two plates, and put two packs of cereal on both, along with a bagel, and banana, and apple. He carried it over one of the tables that were empty, and we both started our meals, Brigid watching us closely.

"No offense, Fang, but your girlfriend need to stop obsessing over you." I hissed so only he could hear, and he glanced over at Doctor Amazing.

Then he looked back at me and smiled. "You're obsessing over me, then?" He asked me, amused. I sighed.

"You know who I mean." I muttered, and looked back at her. She was too interested in Fang she didn't even notice my glare. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders like he had before when she was there and smirked.

"You mean you, of course. I only have one girlfriend, and I only want one girlfriend." He grinned. "That's you." Then, even though we were in front of everyone, including my mom, he leaned in and kissed me. Then, I swear I wasn't imagining this, a tear rolled down Doctor Stupendous' cheek(at least I hoped that was what that was).

I think I smiled a bit.


Okay, so yeah, I always thought Brigid was like, obsessed with Fang, so thats how I'm portraying her.

Reviews, please? :D

I really like them, just so 'ya know... (:
