Max's P.O.V
I heard a loud knocking on the door, ok correction it was more like a serious banging.
"Coming!" I called getting off the couch and lazily walking to the door. The banging didn't let out. "God shut up I said I'm-" I cut off when I swung the door open to find Fang standing there still in his uniform, his hands balled into fists his entire body tense and the worst his eyes blazing with so much anger and sadness I stumbled back.
"Fang?" I whispered a little worried as to why the hell he was here when it was his shift and why he looked so damn angry. He shut his eyes and breathed deeply for a moment.
"Come with me?" he asked his voice shaky.
Without a second thought I nodded even if it was pointless since his eyes were closed. I stepped out beside him shutting the door and locking it. I reached a hand up to touch his face but his eyes snapped open. My hand stopped in mid air for the first time since I had met him actually afraid.
His face softened when he noticed the obvious fear splayed on my face. "I'm sorry." He whispered taking my hand and holding it tightly. "I'm sorry." he stepped closer and grabbed me in a tight hug, burying his face in my hair.
"Fang, what's wrong?" I asked, it muffled against his shirt. I had thought that Fang would be the only one ever asking that. He was mister cool and collected who never got angry unless it was a serious matter. I brought my arms round his waist and squeezed him.
"I'll tell you, but we have to go." He promised not letting me go but pulling me towards his car.
Now I was seriously confused and angry. I stopped half way there and Fang spun round surprised that I had stopped. He didn't release my hand but stared at me in confusion.
"Tell me now." I insisted daring him to defy me.
"We don't have time, he's probably on his way." He sounded scared and the urgent tone in his voice made me nod letting him pull me into the car.
Why did he sound so worried? No he's not worried he's scared. I corrected and my blood ran cold. What reason would Fang have for being scared? And then the bile rose in my throat. My bad feeling had been right. Nothing good could come from this.

He drove in silence gripping the steering wheel and glaring at the road. I was getting more and more scared. I then noticed we were leaving town and he pulled up to the side of the road. He climbed out and I followed him. I then recognized where we were. We were headed to the same lake he had taken me for our first date he clutched my hand tight as we made our way through the forest and when we finally broke through to the clearing he turned to me, taking hold of my face and connecting our lips. Even the kiss was wrong, he seemed urgent and the fear was even evident then. When he broke away he pressed his forehead to mine and closed his eyes breathing hard.
"Fang." I said softly my hand coming up to frame his face. "Baby, please tell me what's going on." I begged and he opened his eyes, locking with mine instantly.
After a minute he nodded and another few minutes later he started after gathering his obviously scattered thoughts.
"Chief called me in today, he'd been acting weird, so I went up and he gave me a folder." He stopped taking in my still confused and unsure expression. "It had a transfer form." He stated and my breathing hitched. He caressed my cheek lovingly before continuing. "He knows about us Max." His eyes held so much pain I knew he wasn't done. I nodded stiffly. "He told me either I transfer willingly or he charges me with Pedophilia and Statuatory Rape." I gasped and clutched his shirt.
"What?" I hissed. And then I started babbling. "How? We were so careful and we did everything right, he didn't say anything, it makes no sense-"
"Max, shh, baby." He pressed his finger firmly to my lips to shut me up but I continued doing a total nudge and carrying on talking. "Max!" That silenced me. He shook his head bringing me to his chest, pressing his cheek to my head. He ran his hand up and down my back.
"What are you going to do?" I choked out, my throat becoming tight, and eyes brimming with tears. How could my Dad do this? Threaten him with those things? He had no other choice Fang would have to leave, no way was he going to jail for this.
"Oh baby, it's fine, we'll work something out, but I'm going have to leave." He whispered and the tears came hard, I buried my face in his chest and let the sobs take over. "Shh, I'll be back, I promise I just need to speak to my Dad ok?" he assured hugging me tighter.
I nodded slowly refusing to let him go.
"And right now, as much as I don't want to ever let you go, I'm going to drop you at home ok?"
I nodded again not lifting my head.
"I'll try and phone you later but if your Dad asks, I haven't been near you."
"Okay." I sniffed and pulled back. He wiped away my tears and gave me a half hearted smile, kissing me sweetly.
"Let's go." He wound his arm around my waist and pulled me out of the clearing. When we reached the house he pulled me in for a long deep kiss and it felt like the Kyle incident all over again except with the rolls reversed.
He pressed small kissed all over my face before letting me go, giving my hand a final squeeze. "I'll be back as soon as I can, I promise." He whispered giving me a love filled glance before I nodded and got out the car. I watched him drive away and I couldn't help the tears that fell. He was gone. And even though he said he would be back I couldn't help but worry.

I couldn't help but gawk as my Dad walked in with a huge smug grin over his face, he even whistled when he came into the kitchen swinging Val around and giving her a hard kiss. Ella was giving them a seriously disgusted look and pretended to gag and choke herself. When Dad turned to us he was beaming, I just looked down but couldn't stand to be in the same room and quickly stood, leaving the room to hear Val asking what was wrong with me. Dad assured it was nothing and she took his word. I slammed my door and locked it, the tears coming back. I walked over to my hidden door and pulled it open closing it behind me. I instantly opened the drawer in the corner and pulled out a stack of photos of Fang and I. is must have fallen asleep looking at the photo's because when I woke up it was to banging on my door. I put the photos back quickly and exited the room unlocking my door and opening it slightly. Dad was standing there looking quite miffed.
"What were you doing in there, I've been calling for the last fifteen minutes.
I didn't answer but slammed the door and locked it again.
"Maximum Ride you open this door right now!" He called and I scoffed picking up my i-pod and putting it on full blast.
It's been three days, Fang isn't back. I haven't said a word to my Dad, nor have I been to the station. I've talked to Rocky but she assures me Fang will be back soon. I couldn't bring myself to believe her. I'm afraid that he isn't coming back. Maybe he's finally realized I'm not worth it all. I cried myself to sleep again, it seemed to be happening a lot to me lately.
Fang's P.O.V.
Un-freaking-believable! It's been three days, three days and my Dad is still beating around the damn bush. Well this is what happens when you leave for three years and don't come back. I mentally noted and scowled. The worst of part? He's trying to get me to forget about Max. He really is an ass. I was currently tapping my fingers on his desk, waiting -once again- for him to come into his office and sign those damn papers! My anger was flaring and I was running out of patience, I started muttering things under my breath when I heard the door click open. My head spun around to find my Dad standing there in an expensive suit he was grinning at me and his dark brown eyes were shining with excitement.
"Come on my boy we're going out." He announced happily. My jaw clenched and my hands balled into fists.
"Where to now?" I growled but he obviously chose to ignore the sour tone in my voice.
"The Ritz son, we have a few people we need to meet, they're all extremely excited to meet you." He chuckled.
And I snapped. I'd had enough. I had come here looking for his help because I had one shot to stay with the girl I love but Frank Harper being Frank Harper has decided to ignore my plea's and is set on making me stay.
"No." I hissed glaring at him.
He was obviously shocked and stared at me. "No?" he asked as confirmation.
"No." I stood up not letting my glare falter. "I came here for your help Dad not for you to drag me back into the life you know I hate." I spat.
"Nickolas." He sighed giving me a pleading look.
"No, I refuse. I will not be one of the millions of people who kiss your arrogant ass to get what they want I'm your son for God's sake! Can't you for once in your damn life help me!" I yelled. "Because we both know you've never done shit for me."
"That is not true!" He yelled back.
"Oh yeah? Then name one time, one time when you have helped me with something." I hissed.
"I raised you, I gave you everything you ever wanted!"
"Wrong, you gave me everything you wanted! Did you ever ask me what I wanted to do? No. Ever since Amber (His sister died in a fire which is why he wanted to be a firefighter) and mom died you've been a complete ass to everyone and I have had enough. You won't have to worry Daddy dearest because you'll never see me ever again." My voice was so cold I was surprised he didn't drop dead. I pushed passed him ignoring the look of shock on his secretary's face as I stormed passed. I was greeted by everyone I passed but I didn't say anything I kept moving. I was going to have to do this without help. I am so screwed.
