Disclaimer: I DONT OWN MAXIMUM RIDE! Do I look like an old man to you?

Skylar's POV

I felt alone.

Like an outcast, I didn't belong, Avi belonged here, and she isn't here.

This is HER family, not mine, I felt like I was intruding.

We left the hospital a while ago, we have been flying for a while now. I was behind the three other, just staying with them, fighting the urge to run off and look for Avi myself, but not reminded myself that I was better off staying with Avi's flock and it raised my chances of finding her.

I tried to search for her with my mind, and once again I came up empty, I didn't even feel an emotion, all I felt was emptiness. I might have only has the link with Avi for a month or so but I had grown use to the feel of her mind in my own, the presence.

She was the reason I woke in the morning, the reason I stayed, the new reason I lived and breathed.

But now she was gone, and it was all their fault.

Itex, not the Flock.

Skylar don't look or think so depressed, we'll find her, I promise.

Angels voice was soft and soothing, but not a comfort at all, the only voice that would make me happy now would be Avi's.

We were flying in silence, all thinking our own thing, or in my case person.

Avi, her beautiful black hair, her laugh. The way she can be sweet, but can snap in a second and bit your head off.

The cute way she rolls her eyes and crosses her arms when we do something stupid, and when she sleeps, the perfect tiny smile she has on her face. I love everything about her, how strong and ruthless she can be, yet sweet and innocent and naive at other times.

God Avi, why did you leave?

But I knew the answer, she thought she was a monster, that she had killed her dad, and attempted to kill her mom, she was disgusted by herself. All she wanted was to keep her family safe form herself, so she couldn't hurt them, but she hurt them by leaving. She should have taken me with her, at least then I could have protected her, keep her safe, make sure she ate, which I know she is not doing. I could have helped her find a cure for this stupid chip in our heads, the one that can control us, that can see what we see. We were being forced to be spies for the people we hate the most. For the people that made our life a living hell.

For Itex.

I was so caught up in my own little world that I didn't see Gazzy and I flew right into him, they must have stopped, and I flew right into him, and I dropped.

And I didn't care.

All I wanted was for this pain to end.

Gazzy's POV

We were flying, all sulking because Avi was gone and we all just felt down. We finally made it to Dr. M's house and we stopped.

"You guys lets land here!" they nodded and he stopped, about to decent to the ground, but them Skylar flew right into me!

"HEY!" I shouted.

Angel and Nudge turned to me and then down to the falling bird kid, um I mean bird-lizard-kid that was falling like a rock to the ground.

"SKYLAR!" we all yelled in unison.

We dived to him, I flew fast and got under him and then we landed.

I lay him down on the ground.

"Yo, Man what was that! You didn't even try to stop!" I was mad the idiot didn't even try and stop!

He mumbled something and I felt a hand on my shoulder, "Gaz, he's acting just like Max did" Nudge said.

My eyes widened.

No, Max got suicidal, but not this quick.

I felt horrible.

I imagined what I would be like to lose Angel, or someone I really loved, like loved loved.

That was harsh.

"Come on Gazzy, can you carry him to the house?" I was about to agree when Skylar said "No." he got up and stared walking to the house.

We looked at him as he walked to the house, looking like a man on fire, so depressed.

We fallowed.

Itex would pay. Not only did it ruin our lives once but they chased after us of half out lives then finally stopped when we took then down, then the erasers started showing up when Avi was around 4ish. And now this! And now that we have a new member who has been in the school for his ENTIRE life, and finally got out with I'm guessing the girl of his dreams only to find that he and Avi have chips in their heads, and assassins for Itex and their target is the mother of the girl he loves. Then Avi almost kills Fang and then runs away, leaving Skylar here, to die on the inside.

God, our life is sounding like a soap opera.

A sad, depressing, twisted soap opera.

We got to the front door and I watched at Skylar ignored Max, Fang, Ella, Iggy, and Dr. M and just walked upstairs, retreating to his room in the basement without a second glance.

Poor kid.
