Fang POV
On the next page, there was another song.
Who's to Say?
By: Max; To: Flock
Stand up straight
Do your trick
Turn on the stars
Jupiter shines so bright when you're around
They tell us to slow down
We're too young, you need to grow
The speed's the key
And they don't know who we are
And who's to say we're not good enough?
And who's to say that this is not our love?
Don't tell me friends are the ones that I lose
'Cause they'd bleed before you
Sometimes family are the ones you'd choose
It's too late now
I hold on to this life I've found
Who is to say we won't burn out?
And who is to say we won't sink in doubt?
Who is to say we won't fade today?
Who are they anyway? Anyway they don't know
And they say we're too young, but maybe they're too old to remember
And I try to pretend, but I just feel it when we're together
And if they don't believe me, they never really knew us
They never really knew
You and I, packin' up our rooms, we feel alright
We're not well, come soon we'll be drivin'
'Cause they don't know who we are
Who's to say we won't stay together?
Who's to say we aren't getting stronger?
Who's to say we can't live without them?
Who are they anyway? Anyway they don't know
And they say we're too young, but maybe they're too old to remember
And I try to pretend, but I just feel it when we're together
And who is to say?
And who is to say?
And who are they anyway?
Stand up straight
Jupiter shines so bright when you're around
Oh. My. God. How does she write these? I flipped through a few more pages. There were several more pages of songs, but all the other pages were blank. I'll have to read the other songs, but not right now. Right now I had to get the flock up and going. Max left us. And since I didn't know where to find her, and she has the cretin with her, I would have to go my own way with the flock.
She had a hard job leaving the flock because I knew how much she loved and cared for the flock, but I would also have a hard job. I had to break the news to the flock.
"Iggy, could you wake up the others?" He nodded and shook them awake.
Third Person POV
Angel woke up and scanned thoughts. Max's and Ari's wasn't there. Gazzy's were there, so were Total's, Nudge's, and Iggy's. She scanned Fang's thoughts and found read the letter from his mind. She gasp and Fang looked at her, knowing that she had read his thoughts.
"Okay guys, I have some ... unpleasant news to that I have to share with you." Fang began, but Gazzy interupted.
"Where's Max?" He asked, looking around and tensing.
"Actually, the news is about Max." Fang explained. "She left this note." He said.
"Leave without me." He read, forcing his voice to sound noncaring. "I love you too much to split you up. I still love you and that's why I have to go. I'm taking Ari with me so that he won't be a burden. Fang will be a good leader for you. I know it. Remember: I love you all.
Your Ex-Leader, Max
Angel had grim expression on her face as she gazed accusingly at Fang. She knew that Fang had made Max choose between him and Ari. She knew that if he had never done such a foolish thing, Max would still be here and they would never be doing what they were doing now.
Iggy had the same grim expression on his face and he, too, gazed his unseeing eyes accusingly at Fang. He had heard Fang tell Max that if Ari didn't leave then he would. He didn't fully trust Ari nor did he really want him in the flock, but he would never had made Max CHOOSE.
The other's just stood there in shock, not knowing what Angel and Iggy knew. They couldn't believe that their leader had left them. None of them trusted Ari and they were confused when Max invited him to come with them, but they had kept their mouths shut about it. Max always knew what she was doing.
Fang felt to two accusing glares coming from Iggy and Angel. He knew that they knew what he had made Max do. He already felt guilty after reading the letter, and the fact that he knew Angel and Iggy knew that he had seriously screwed up, made him feel even more guilty. He also knew that Angel and Iggy knew that he knew that he had screwed up. He pretended to ignore them.
"Let's go. U and A guys." They obeyed, grabbing their things and taking off.
What have I done? Fang wondered as they followed him to Venice Beach.
When they got there, Fang kept obsessively updating his blog, in hopes that Max wanted to come back to them. Angel was still mad at Fang for what he had done. Iggy was too, but he was too busy getting Gazzy to describe the girls on the beach to care. They all missed Max incredibly. They all wanted her back. But none of them knew where to look.
