Max POV:
I clenched my teeth to stop me from screaming my head off. Argghhh. Fang barely laughed like that with me and we'd spent 14 years together. How comes he was so comfortable with Phoeno? Urghh. I had to sort my head out. Pouring on the speed I soon found a quiet beach. Ahh the beach…. so many memories. Anyways why the hell didn't I like her so much I hear you asking? Maybe 'cause that's my flock, my family up there and they're acting like she's more of a part of it than I am! It got to me so much. Our flock was so right together, we just gelled Ange and Nudge, Gaz and Iggy…Me and Fang. We all worked so well together, too well for it to be messed up by some other mutant freak. Though I can't believe I'm saying this I'd happily give her back to Ari II and have done with it. She was just so…so….so….arrgghh! Oww! Yup, my stupidity just mad me punch a cliff. I saw my knuckles redden instantly. Great, I now have both an aching hand and an aching heart. I glanced up at the moon, and now, an irritating Fang was on his way down. Great. I so did not need this right now.
Fang's POV:
I saw her in the distance, her toned silhouette being lit up by the moonlight. The beach? What a coincidence. I headed down towards her. She was ranting to herself. I allowed myself a smile; she looked so cute when she was angry. She turned her head and spotted me, looking pissed. Like I totally was not welcome. My heart sank.
Max's POV:
Jeez has nobody ever heard of giving a girl some space?! I guessed that wasn't Fang's style, I mean, he'd proved that to me with Phoeno and that Red-Haired Wonder. I really wanted to hate him, but my heart wouldn't let me. Luckily it didn't stop me being majorly pissed. He landed gracefully.
"How comes you took off like that?" He mumbled. I breathed in and out heavily, trying to suppress my rage as his dark eyes searched mine. I wasn't successful.
"Like you care! You couldn't give a shit about me" My volume rose and emotion entered my voice that I wished wasn't there and I turned to walk away, but his hands shot out and grabbed my wrist, yanking me back.
"How the hell can you say that I don't care?! Of course I do! You mean the world to me Max. I'd do anything for you!" Fang's voice had reached shouting level. This was the most emotive thing I'd ever heard him say, but my anger wouldn't let me acknowledge it.
"Yeah, sure! I've just seen how easily you and the flock would give me up for a replacement" I spat.
His eyes were full of confusion, then with rage, "How you gave up me and the guys for Ari as a replacement?! Is it like that? And who the hell is giving you up?! I haven't left you. Phoeno isn't taking your place. She has nowhere to go, we're trying to make her feel welcome!" He cried in despair.
My blood boiled when he mentioned Ari, and I realised that how I felt now, is how he must have felt when the flock split and it broke my heart, but his statement about trying to make Phoeno welcome angered me once more. "Why?! Why do you trust her so much? Everyone loves her including you! I've never seen you so comfortable with anyone before! You never laugh like that with me! I mean you gave her your jacket for a pillow when I'm the one who is in agony from that fight against Ari's clone! None of you seem to realise what sort of an impact she'll have. And none of you care. Not about me to say the least!" Shaking was anger I snapped open my wings and flew to the top of the cliff. Not quick enough to miss Fang's utter look of astonishment.
Fang's POV:
What the f! How could she think that? I don't like Phoeno like that! I love her. Shit, how could I have been so stupid? I knew Max was hurt, why didn't I look after he properly! Why did I give my jumper to Phoeno? I was confused myself. My head was practically spinning. Did I act differently around her to Max? Urghh. It felt like me heart was splitting in two. What the hell have I done? Max practically hates me now, and it's all my fault. I locked my jaw tight, not wanting tears to flood my eyes. I snapped open my wings to follow her. She's got to know how I feel. Once and for all.
