Hi, well James Patterson his awesome :D

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"I'm gonna go look around." I said quietly and walked away.

The cave was deep, so I walked until I couldn't see the flock anymore and sat down. I pulled my knees up to my chest and buried my face in them. Then I let the river of tears that I had held inside of me flow out. I cried for what felt like forever. The flock probably thought I had gotten kidnapped again or something. Just thinking of that made me cry even harder.

"Max?" I heard Fang say from around the corner.

I shot up quickly and wiped the tears stains off of my face.

"What are you doing back here?"

"Nothing." I said, forcing out a fake smile.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." I tried to act normal, though my nose was stuffed and my eyes were probably red.

"Max, I saw you crying, so you might as well tell me what's going on."

I drew in a deep breath and let it out. I was embarrassed telling Fang my problems, all of the time. What am I suppose to say?

"So?" He asked, crossing his arms and starring me down.

Finally I sucked it up. "Why didn't you tell me?" I sounded like a mouse with a cold.

"What?"

"You didn't tell me that I was passed out for that long." I sniffed.

"Oh, that? Well, I don't know," He scratched his head awkwardly. "I didn't want you to feel bad."

"Well, now I feel horrible." I could feel the waterworks begin start up again, but I held back.

"Well don't." He said with a low and serious tone.

"How could I not? I'm always the one to get hurt Fang, always. And you always have to come and save me. I'm just so stupid. You should lead them, not me." I stopped after that last sentence. What did I just say?

Fang looked taken aback at first, but then he stepped towards me and put his hands on my shoulders.

"Max, stop."

I shook him off of me and started pacing. He just stood there and watched me go back and forth in front of him.

"I'm serious. Jeb wants me Fang, not you guys. I'm the one putting you all in danger here. So what should…"

Fang grabbed my arm and stopped me.

"Max. Will you just shut up? Yeah, you do get hurt, but so does everyone else. And yeah, Jeb and all of those other idiots might want you. But we need you too Max. I couldn't make it with them on my own."

We stared coldly at each other for a while until I looked away. He sighed and let go of my arm.

'Sorry." I whispered, looking at the ground.

"It's fine." He was about to turn to walk away when I stopped him.

"Fang."

"What?"

I slowly walked towards him and stopped when I was about an inch away from his chest.

"Sorry I scared you."

I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tightly. At first he did nothing, but then I felt his arms around me, hugging me back. I always loved the feeling of safety I had when I was with Fang. He was there when I really needed him, and now he was here for me again.

I finally broke away from him and pushed a strand of hair behind my ear. Fang put his hands in his pockets and looked at the ground.

He cleared his throat. "We should go back."

"Yeah," I said quietly. We walked back to their camp in an awkward silence.

"You know, you're lucky I was so nice to you, because you look like a mess from crying so much."

I punched his arm and laughed.

"Yeah well, you should find a mirror."

Fang smiled at me and laughed a little too.

We got to the entrance of the cave and found everyone sleeping together on the ground. Iggy was sitting on a rock off to the side.

"There you two are. What were you doing? Making out?"

My face turned bright red. I tried hiding it behind my hair.

"Noo!" We both said at the same time.

"Sure, what ever you say." Iggy said, raising his hands up in defense.

"Alright Ig, I'll take over." I said, watching Iggy yawn.

"Okay thanks. Goodnight."

"G'night Iggy." I rolled my eyes at him.

"I got second watch. You go sleep." I said, turning my attention back to Fang.

"No, I got it. You need to sleep."

"Fang, I've slept for a week and a half, remember? You go."

He smirked, "Okay Miss Stubborn. You sure?"

"Yes." I laughed.

We tapped fists and he turned to walk away.

"Goodnight, Miss Stubborn." He called over his shoulder.

"Night Fnick."
