"Okay, so let me get this straight." Nudge started, "The voice was talking to you and you suddenly remembered everything? And then you remembered that one time at the School when you died?" Died. Nice choice or wording Nudge.
"Basically."
"Well do you remember everything now?" Iggy asked, with a sense of urge in his voice. I wasn't sure if he wanted me to remember or not.
"Kind of," I started, "I do remember everything, but it's very...vague. Kind of like it happened a really long time ago."
Angel hugged me again, "It's really good to have you back, Max. I hated not having you the same person, it was like you were replaced with another Max clone."
I laughed dryly, "Yeah, we don't want that to happen, now do we?" Flashes of that day ran through my mind again, making me feel more...Max.
-----
After we talked more- Which I could not get enough of, I had to make up for the two weeks I didn't speak- we all went to sleep. It felt strange not sleeping in a bed, but I figured I had to suck it up and get over it. If I did this when I could remember everything, then I could do this now.
During the middle of the night I was woken by a rustling noise. I sat up and looked around and noticed Fang was gone. He must have gotten up for a little walk...Ha, walk. But anyway, I got up and followed the direction I heard the noise, and sure enough, there he was, his black wings spread wide open.
"Yo." I called, his head turned to me immediately. He didn't say anything, he just stared at me. "Where are you going"
He looked up at the sky, "I'm going back."
"Back to where?" I asked, walking over to him.
He didn't say anything.
"You're- You're leaving us? Again?"
"You did fine without me." He said quietly, still not looking at me.
I laughed a little, "Without you, I didn't remember anything and was taken to the School." I pointed out.
"Iggy seemed to take care of you fine."
I was taken aback. "How do you know what Iggy did?"
"Someone was able to show me what you were doing, no matter how far you were from me."
I didn't say anything, and he went on, "He was good to you, and better for you."
"You saw Iggy and I kiss...Didn't you?"
Fang slowly nodded.
I walked up closer to him, and he still didn't look at me. "Fang, it was nothing. I feel different now. There's someone else."
Now he looked at me. "Who?"
I got a little closer, "You."
He kissed me then, pulling me into his strong grasp, but softly. Softly enough that if I wanted to pull away and run, I could. I didn't want to ruin it anymore. I was tired of running, I wanted to stay.
Suddenly, memories started to flash through my mind, clearly, and brightly. The way they were supposed to be. There was something missing about me, and I knew what it was then. It was him, and I didn't want to loose him again. I wanted to be at his side forever.

Iggy slid his back down the tree. It was over. His hopes about them, and everything. And he knew that soon, so would his eyesight. Everything was falling apart for him.
He couldn't even look back at them. This was what he feared about Max getting her memory back, her love for Fang.
He wanted her so bad, but he didn't want to deprive her of her memory. He was torn between his happiness, and hers.
And what about Fang? For so many years Fang had admired her from a distance, and now he finally got her. Would Iggy really be able to take that away from him?
Iggy hurried back to the camp, lied down, and decided to attempt to get to sleep.
At least in his dreams, he could be with Max.
