DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN MAXIMUM RIDE OR ANY OF IT'S CHARACTERS!

FANG'S POV.

'Oh. Shit.' I thought to myself. I slammed my head into the door "What have I done?" I whispered to myself. Max doesn't cry, not since she was six and the kids in her class called her wired for her wings. She cried and the called her a cry baby. Not since that day had a single tear escaped her. Until today. I knew that, she told me when we were still friends that she hadn't cried. But I was there the day she was called a cry baby after school that day we were talking and I showed her my black wings. No one knew about them but her. That's when they became best friends. She has always kept my secret. She was my fucking best friend, and I ruined all that. I don't even know why I did it. But I regret it more than anything. After about 30 seconds I pounded on the door and yelled "Max! Come back."

"Fuck you!" she yelled from her window, "And you can have this back!" she dropped a little bracelet on me. It was a hand made friendship bracelet, we had matching ones. We made them for each other about a week before I told her I hated her. I had forgotten about them, and didn't know why she hadn't.

MAX'S POV.

"Max! Come back!" he yelled through the door. I ran up to my room and ripped my anklet. It was our old friendship bracelet, I had never taken it off but I didn't know why.

"Fuck you! And you can have this back!" I dropped it on him and closed the window. He eventually gave up on banging on the door and went home. About ten minutes my siblings and mom came home. They went clothes shopping, mom and I went already a week before so I didn't go with. My brother, Iggy, walked in and found me huddled against the wall, crying, with my knees to my chest. He also knew I didn't cry. He shut the door and ran over.

"Max! What happened?"

"It's nothing." I said barely audible, refusing to face him.

"Don't give me that BS."

"Just leave it alone." he glanced down and saw my anklet was gone.

"What did Fang do to you?" he was obviously upset.

"He's just a dick."

"Im gonna kill him." he said and got up.

"No Iggy!" I knew he would do it.

"Why the hell not? Max you haven't cried in 10 years! He obviously did something worth being killed for!"

"It's not his fault he's an idiot."

"then who's fault is it so I can kill them?"

"Just calm down. I'll get him back in my own way." he raised an eyebrow at me.

"can I at least punch him?"

"I already did." i smiled.

"Hell yeah!" Iggy yelled and hugged me. I loved my brother to death. I laughed with him, making me feel better. I wiped the tears from my face just as Gazzy and Angel walked in.

"What's so funny?" Gazzy asked.

"Max punched Nick!" they didn't know him as Fang, that was just the three of them.

"Yay Max!" they yelled together.

"Now, I'm starving! Lets go eat something!" I said, happy to have them with me. They all agreed and we made our way down stairs.

*******NEXT MORNING********

FANG'S POV.

"Fang! Over here!" his friend Jason yelled. I walked over to my group of friends at the school breakfast.

"So waddup guys?"

"Is it true?" he asked.

"Is what true?"

"That you got punched my Max Ride?" My eyes widened, how did they know about that?

"Why do you ask?"

"Her brothers telling EVERYONE."

"Bastard." I spat.

"So it's true then." my other friend Spencer said.

"I gotta go." I said and made my way to first period that Dylan, Max, and Iggy were in, great. (note sarcasm) I of course sat in the back, more of a chance of not getting caught napping. I drifted into sleep.

~DREAM~

I was sitting alone in the middle of a field. I laid down and look into the sky. There was a huge bird. Then I realized it was Max. I called out to her but she couldn't hear me, so I unfurled my wings, I flew up but I just wasn't getting closer. I yelled out her name again, but she flew farther away. I kept calling her, but no answer. Then someone else pulled me out of my dream, it was Mrs. Gieger.

"NICK!" She yelled. I looked up and the whole class was laughing except Iggy, Dylan, and Max. Iggy and Dylan looked pissed, and max was blushing but also angry. But why?

"2 weeks detention. 1 for sleeping, and 2 for disrupting the class with your sleep talking."

'Shit, shit, shit!' I thought to myself. Screw detentions! The whole class heard me calling out for Max in my sleep! Well it explained why those three were mad. And again I ask myself what have I done.

AN: Sorry it's so short! I'll post chapter 3 when I have 7 reviews!
