Hey guys. So I realized I forgot a disclaimer last chapter, so I'll have to add that. Any way I do not own Maximum Ride, it's written by James Patterson. If I did own Maximum Ride I probably wouldn't be writing fanfic...

Chapter 2

As soon as I walked through the front door of Nudge's house, I heard squealing and was practically tackled in a hug.

"Omg! I am so excited for tonight! I don't know why but I feel like something amazing is going to happen. Do you think Iggy is going? I think he's kinda cute, but do not tell him that! Omigosh what if someone heard us? What if the house is bugged?!"

All this was said in about five seconds and even though she's been doing this since 3rd grade, I am still shocked. I stood there dazed for a minute before I snapped out of it.

"Hi to you too, and I won't tell anyone. How long have you believed your house is bugged?" I asked actually curious.

"Doesn't matter, come on! We don't have that long before the party," she said while dragging me upstairs. "And babe? We need to work on you sense of style," she called over her shoulder batting her eyelashes innocently.

I just rolled my eyes.

Now I won't bore you with the details of my torture session, but basically Nudge just straightened my hair and put on light makeup. She dressed me in dark skinny jeans and a flowy red tank top. She even let me wear my converses with the out fit. Overall, it wasn't as bad as some of the past makeovers.

When we were pulling into the driveway (we were one of the first ones there) she squealed again.

"I don't understand why you're so excited about this," I said, turning to look at her as I parked. "You've been to hundreds of parties with Iggy there. Why is this one any different?"

She sighed and acted like I didn't know anything. "Because," she drew out. "I just feel it. Something's going to happen tonight. It's like a maternal instinct, but with boys."

I rolled my eyes again and headed for the front door. We had come early so we could just hang out with Sam , Dylan, and our other friends, including Iggy. When I saw Dylan I snuck up behind him and jumped on his back.

"Hey," I greeted him with a kiss on the cheek.

He turned around as I slid of his back and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me close.

"You look good, as always," Dylan said with a smile. I laughed and mentally thanked Nudge. As if she could hear me she looked at me and winked.

The party was a normal party. Which meant there was a bunch of loud music, dancing and of course, alcohol. I refused to drink. I don't know why I just didn't enjoy the feeling of loosing my control over my words or anything else.

It was nearing midnight and I wanted to leave. The music was starting to give me a headache and the smell of beer and vomit permeated my senses. I dug my phone out of my purse and texted Nudge. I was supposed to stay over tonight because my parents were out of town.

Yet when I texted her, she replied with, 'srry babe went home with someone ;)'. I frowned but texted her back saying it was okay. Then I smiled. I bet it was Iggy.

My next best bet would be Dylan so I started looking around for him. I found him standing in front of a girl, a little too closely for my liking. I ignored it and tapped him on the shoulder.

When he swung around, he did something I never thought he'd do. In the two years we'd been together, not once had it happened.

But that night, he hit me.

So this was chapter 2. Again, reviews are helpful. On a different note, I probably won't post for a little while, maybe til after Christmas. The laptop I use is troublesome and it locked my Word Document with this story on it. Thanks for those who followed and reviewed. 'Til next chapter.
