Heeeellllllooooo people of the internet. How are you guys this fine day? I'm back again with more action packed fun-ness. that is a word... I just made that one. Anyways, I am not going to spend too long on this preamble so just to wrap things up I just want to say thank you for being here and sticking with me.

Sorry I haven't been on, my brother broke and hid my computer so I had no idea where it was. It's still broken and I had no way of updating this. No, it's still not fixed and I am forced to write this on my phone... Which is something that I hate. So this chapter might be a little short and yeah, after this I don't know when I'll be able to update. (6/25/16)


Chapter 13, The life of the party.

Fang's point of view.

I never thought I would have to see her in this way. The Max I knew was bold, she always knew what to do and just how to do it. She tried finding a solution to anything before resulting to theft. She has changed and it is starting to boggle my mind. Max is a whole different person now, from the way she speaks and handles things to even the way she styles her hair. I couldn't understand what happened to her. I mean if you just could imagine what she used to look like and then what she looked like now you'd be frightened.

For starters, her hair had been cut just below her shoulders, uneven and it seriously looked like it was done with a knife. She had been dirty and uncared for, the dirt smudges made her two shades darker than her natural skin. Her eyes had bags under them that looked so bad it seemed as if she had popped a blood vessel under her eyes, she looked so tired. her frail body was tiny and if I looked under her shirt I bet she would look like a skeleton. But to top it all off, she stunk. badly. She smelt as if she hadn't had a decent shower since her whole time with Liu. Also she spoke with a ragged voice, that sounded like she was sick. Her mouth was worse than a sailor. She swore so much I swear that the only thing she knew was to incorporate some type of swear into her sentences. It sickened me, but I know that it wasn't her fault, she had lived among the ghettos of the states, stealing her way for whatever she needed, money was a foreign thing for her.

After we got Max to Dr. Martinez Max was an emotional mess, big tears streamed down her face as she held onto Angel's hand as if it were the only thing keeping her from falling apart, she continuously wiped her eyes. The sight was scary, even motormouth Nudge didn't have much to say. We all presented the dirty child to her mother and Dr. Martinez just looked away with a disapproving glance, saying nothing more than.

"The bathroom is down the hall to your left, I'll supply the clothes. Just get out of my sights."

Max nodded her head, understanding the words in between the lines. Max disappeared down the hallway, everyone remained silent until they heard the water run.

"What happened to her? Did you guys locate Liu?" Dr. Martinez asked as she fixed her glasses. Nobody wanted to tell her that Liu was nowhere to be found, and that her daughter was a raging criminal that made it by, by thieving and killing.

"Well, let's just say Max has had a rough 2 years, as for Liu, we have no idea." Angel said as she danced celesta around in her lap.

"Well, it still doesn't change the fact that she left us. With every right to come home she still managed to leave us all in a time like this." Dr. Martinez sighed as she made her way into the kitchen.

We all stood silent, our fears were confirmed. We knew that she had every right to come home and that she left us but, it was our own fault. We conflicted her with these problems. Practically forcing her to stay with Liu... And now, she is scared. Of us. And of other human contact.

It's saddens me to see her fall that way.

Nobody noticed that Max was standing there, her damp hair hung loosely barely scrapping her shoulders. Nobody noticed how her head hung low as realization struck her. Not even I noticed how she wore clothes that were so small it make her seem like she was wearing a crop top shortshort combo.

Not until she let out a small sigh that held true emptiness. Everyone turned towards her direction, the sad state in her face made everyone stop. There was a lingering stain of silence and it ended when Max shook her head, a feud of dissaproval made her cringe. I felt her pain from where i was standing just ten feet away.

"Max..." I said slightly with a calm yet shaky voice. How much had she heard?

"I dont want to hear it right now, what ever exsuce you have for her i dont want to hear it." Max said with a cold stare. The emptiness in her eyes was now replaced with regret and anger.

"Max please... It's not what you think... She was just upset-" Nudge quickly chimed in.

"Yeah i know. She is upset that I'm here... But who could blame her. I couldve come home but i couldn't and you wouldn't understand." Max cut her off and looked down crossing her arms over her tones stomach to keep her obviously tiny stomach from all of us.

Shelooked worse than ever. Even when we had nowhere to go and nothing to eat.

"And now i have that out of the way i think its time for me to go. Im glad that you guys let me use the shower and im overjoyed to see that you guys have grown with such health and yeah... Bye." Max closed her eyes for a moment and that's when we all realized and noticed the small twars that began to form.

"MAX! Please don't go! We just got you back!" Gazzy jumped up, his blond hair flopped around and her reached out to grab her. But as soon as his hand got near her she was standing by the door.

"ListenGaz, i was never here. No matter what you try and tell your selves I'm not who i used to be. Im not some perky leader who had it easy. No, I'm a lone bird. I'm a murderous machine and i just cant come back to a place where I'm not going to be accepted." Max shook her head her whole body was faced away from us and she turned the door knob but her whole body tensed when she was faced by her little sister Ella.

"M-max?" Her sister said with her hands covering her mouth. She dropped her green backpack onto the concrete and gattered Max into ahug.

"Ella..." Max said with mostly breath as she placed a hand on the teens head. "I'm sorry, but i have to go." Max said as she pushed her away and slipped something small intoher hand and whispered something that not even i could hear and walked out.

Unfurling her beautiful wings and taking off into the afternoon air.

Man, this has taken me weeks to finish. (7_2_16)
