A/N: So here's a new one! This song is called Free by Boys Like Girls. I was listening to my iPod today for inspiration and this came up on shuffle. So PERFECT. I encourage you guys to listen to the song, but if you don't want to that's fine. Here are the lyrics. (Remember, I don't own them.)
Fang's Point of View.
Free-Boys Like Girls
Carry on, you won't miss me when I'm gone
Won't hear the phone ring
You won't hear me sing
Yeah I'm guilty, guilty of everything
I'll run away
Cause I've gotta find a place where you won't know me
I wanna go so far
Oh I'm guilty, guilty of every charge
Throw away the horoscopes
And don't you ever give up hope
Without me, you will be...
Free, without me
You're free, without me
Settle down
And keep your feet touching the ground
You will be okay
You will see better days
Just watch me
Watch yourself fade away
I love your mind
I love your routine, daily grind
All the words you say
Oh your every day
Just watch me
You'll see I'm gone away
Oh throw away the horoscopes
And don't you ever give up hope
Without me, you will be...
Free, without me
You're free
Free, without me
You're free
Now don't worry 'bout a thing
You can fly without my wings
I know you'll make it on your own, I know
Yeah if you stand up and be strong
I know you'll carry on
And I know that you will see that you're free
Without me, you'll be...
Free, without me
You're free
Free, without me
You're free
Now don't worry 'bout a thing
You can fly without my wings
I know you'll make it on your own, I know
Yeah if you stand up and be strong
I know you'll carry on
And I know that you will see that you're free
Without me
"Max," I said to the crying, love of my life. "I have to go, I can't keep doing this to you."
"Fang, you're not doing anything to hurt me. I need you here," She said countered. Her voice was quivering and I could see how upset she was. I knew that it'd be for the best, if I left.
"Yes, I am. I'm holding you back, there's so much out there that you can do. You can do so much without me. I feel guilty, of everything," I told her, rubbing around her wings. She leaned into me and I held her tight.
"No," she whispered. "You shouldn't feel guilty, Fang. There's nothing for you to be guilty for."
"You'll be free without me, Max. You'll be able to do everything the world offers you."
By now Max was sobbing, curled up on her bed. I sat her up, gently touched her feet to the ground, and helped her stand. "Don't you ever give up Max, you're too good for that. No one should make you cry like this, oh God," I tilted my head back, silently praying that I was right about all this. "It'll get better, the days will go smoother, I promise."
Thinking about Max's day was torture. Her day was my day. How would I be able to give up seeing her every day? Everything from waking up in the morning and brushing our teeth would be gone. I loved the little things that we did, just being together was enough for me.
But I knew I had to let Max go on her own. It wasn't fair to hold her back and keep her from doing what she should. Max was crying into my chest now. How could I do this to her? It was for her own good, but this was the hardest thing I've done. "Max, don't you ever give up hope," I wrapped her tight in my arms, resting my chin on the top of her head. I felt a hot tear slide down my cheek.
I quickly wiped it away and gently pushed her back. "Don't worry, everything will be better…You have a beautiful pair of wings and don't need mine to fly," I smiled and she gave a small smile back. "Stay strong, Max, everything will be alright," I told her, hugging her closely again. "You'll be free."
A/N: Okay, kind of pointless, but I just had to write it. This isn't about when Fang leaves, in the books, it's just set in the future at some point. Review?
