Okay for those of you who've been asking this will not be a Max and Dylan story. For the looks off it most of you don't like him and I don't either but he has to come out every once in a while so please continue reading. On with the story and yes Fang is going to explain to Max what's wrong.

On with the story:

Okay so Monday I didn't really want to see Fang so I walked to school with the kids following. Fang was alone in his car but he followed us slowly just watching.

"Max" he would shout but I ignored him.

"Just leave her alone" Nudge said and Ari nodded.

He sighed and rolled up the window. Speeding off, I still loved him but I didn't know why, he was like the rest of them leaving us like we were just a tool and he could leave us when he wanted. "Don't be so hard on him" Iggy said patting my shoulder.

"Easy for you to say" I muttered.

Ella was walking with him behind us telling him when to stop and stuff like that even if he really didn't need it they both went by the hand. Angel was grabbing my left hand and Nudge, Ari and Gazzy were just talking about school.

When we got to school everyone had found out that Fang and I had broken up. Well that was what everyone was saying. Nudge Ella and Iggy headed off to their locker while I left the kid's in their classrooms.

"So it's true?" Stacy/Tracy said smiling at me. I just ignored her and walked to my locker taking out my books. "Fang broke up with you without a reason?"

"Yeah why do you care?" I muttered and she frowned.

"I thought he was better than that" she muttered and walked away, okay that was weird.

Fang was walking my way but I just closed my locker with a loud 'thud' and ran off to class. The thing is I forgot Fang was with me so I just ignored him when he came and sat next to me.

"Max please, talk to me" he pleaded again and again. "Max…"

"Nicholas, do you have something to say to the class?" Miss whatever her name was asked.

"No thanks I'm fine" he said and kept asking me "Max…"

I got up from my chair and walked up to the teacher. "Can I go out, I really need some fresh air" I whispered so only she could hear me.

"Sure take as long as you like" she said looking at me then at Fang. "Don't worry I'll keep him here" she whispered and I ran out.

Where was I going? I had no idea so I just ran to the other side of the school where Angel, Gaz, and Ari took classes. They had a music room and I entered. It was empty I walked up to the piano and started playing notes, not really into music just touching them.

When Jeb was a good guy or at least I thought he was a good guy he tried to teach me how to play piano but he never had the chance. His pager would always sound or he would be late for me at school usually something like that. He just never had time for me.

"Maximum I'm sorry I'll be here tomorrow I promise" he sighed, "Just wait I'll pick you up from school and we'll go out somewhere"

"Sure" I smiled

"I'll be here" he kissed my forehead "Love you Maximum"

That's where my memory stopped I stopped saying I love you to him since I was a little girl and it wasn't that I didn't want to but it was because I never got the chance he would always run off on his 'Job' which I never knew what it was.

Well he was a scientist but he never told me what he did or even where he did it.

The bell rang snapping me out of it. For my surprise the room started filling with little kids. I looked around. Angel and JJ were walking in just talking to each other but then they spotted me looking worried. I must've looked like crap.

"Max, Are you okay?" Angel asked me.

"You don't look okay" JJ said sitting next to me.

"Nah. I'm fine I just needed some fresh air" I smiled and brushed her hair out of her face. "Be good okay I have to go to class"

"Okay" they both said in chorus.

Before I walked out I peeked through the little window to see if Fang was near but he wasn't. I ran to class and sat as far away as I could from him. One thing was it got worse. I had to sit with some football jerks. I tried to ignore them but I was getting tired.

Class started but I didn't pay attention to anything I just couldn't concentrate. "I heard you're single" one of them said and played with my hair I pulled away. "Babe you should sign up for cheerleading" and with that he smacked my butt.

That's it. "Don't touch me!" I shouted and glared at him, when he smiled I slapped him across the face. From the corner of my eye I saw Fang stand up. "And you don't talk to me!"

"Miss Ride care to sit down" she glared at all three of us "You can sit at my desk" she offered and I nodded moving to the front. From here I could see everybody Fang smiled weakly at me and sighed, I didn't know why but I had to look at him as if I would never see him again.

While the teacher was giving some kind of lecture I snuck out she didn't even notice. I rounded the corner and it was empty. I just walked through the hall but I heard some steps behind me, I turned and regretted it.

It was Fang.

I ignored him and tried to find an escape route but instead of that I found a dead end. "Max please listen" he said and I turned he was walking to me making me feel claustrophobic. I felt my back hit the wall.

He put both his hands at the side of my face and leaned in "Fang don't do this" I whispered but he closed the distance and kissed me deeply. I kissed him back but turned my face.

"Maximum Ride, listen to me" He said and I closed my eyes. "Damn it Max let me explain" he hit the wall with one of his hand. "Max I don't care if you're ignoring me I'm going to tell you"

"Say it then" I snapped

"Max I can't be with you" he started "I still love you but it's to protect you"

"I don't need protecting" I muttered

"Max, my dad is coming out of jail tomorrow and he's sent me a letter saying he was coming for me" he whispered "If he comes for me he can't do anything I have a restraining order, but if he got to you I don't know what I could do to save you"

I smacked him upside the head and he glared at me "You should've started with that" I growled

"Sorry, I was drunk" he smiled his best smile and all I did was smile back at him. I hugged him and it felt as if nothing had happened, well it was only a weekend what was I kidding it was nothing. He laid his cheek on my head. "Sorry I didn't explain it earlier"

"When did you become mister talkative?" I smiled pulling back and grabbing his hand grabbing his hand.

"I guess it was when I met you" he smiled again making my heart flip.

"So wouldn't it be better if I stayed with you" I said "I would be protected"

"Sounds good" he said "Ready for class"

"Not really" I mumbled.

"Too bad" he said and I elbowed him making him grunt.

Mean while in jail

"Nicholas you are free to go" a man in a uniform said.

"Make sure we get that arrangement" Jeb said "If not they'll hunt you down"

"I always keep my promises" Nicholas said

Mean while in another place in a cell

How could they do this I trusted them and all they did was take me away from my family. I haven't seen Maximum in seven years not after I promised her I would teach her to play piano. Jeb thought sighing

"Jeb Batchelder food here" one of the other scientists said slipping it in to my cage. I hope to see max again, at least for a bit. He took a bit out of the piece of bread they gave him and blacked out.

Like it, love it, hate it, review the suspense is killing me and for those of you confused about two Jebs you'll know soon. Love you all
