Oh my god, I love you all! JK that would be kind of weird but I do really appreciate all of the reviews I got, means the world to me!
I'm sorry it took so long to write, but my spring break just started and I decided to give you another chapter, so here is the long awaited next chapter to Falling in the Dark! (Woohoo!)
I don't own Maximum Ride, James Patterson does, hmm I wonder if I could buy it off of him……… sorry sidetracked in a random thought!
Fang's POV
I thought of all the good times Max and I had, all that we could have been together.
What if we got married and had kids, what would they have looked like?
The thought of a little Max and Fang Jr made my throat tighten.
Agh, Max why did you have to die!
I hugged Max again, not wanting to believe the evidence right in front of me.
NO! She is not dead; I will not let her die!
"God damn it Max, get up we need you, I need you; you can't leave me" I yelled.
She is not dying, not today, not tomorrow; I swear as long as I'm still breathing, Max will live to see the next day through!
My mind was racing at the speed of sound.
I need to get her heart beat back to normal, I need to get the blood flowing, I need………
As I thought it through, I remembered, Max's heart wasn't beating anymore, so no blood would flow, no air would fill her lungs, and no laughter would escape her perfect lips. She was gone, dead to the world, and she would finally be at peace.
Max won't stand out in, she already has the wings, beauty, and grace. She was the closest thing to an angel that this world has and ever will see.
For the third time that day, I broke into sobs. A gust of wind blew into the cave, and I could almost feel Max's loving embrace again.
I have to stop thinking like this, Max is gone and I'm just hurting myself by doing this.
I was about to get up when a faint sound filled my ears, the sound of a heartbeat. My whole body shut down as I looked into her face.
Max! (I thought about ending it there but I decided that you've waited long enough!)
I slowly brought my head down to her chest. The faint beating was growing stronger and faster. Her chest rose and fell as air filled her lungs. I lifted my head and looked at her face. The brown eyes I fell in love with were fluttering open. She was coming back to life.
I don't believe it, thank you god or however runs that place up there!
"Max, Max can you hear me," I whispered in her ear. Her eyes opened all the way, scanning the room.
"Fang?" Her beautiful voice filled my ears. I couldn't help but feel a rush of emotions pass through me as I heard her say my name.
"Yeah Max, I'm right here, everything is alright now." I tried helping Max stand but the second I let go of her, she started to fall. I caught her in my arms and picked her up bridal style. To my pleasure she wrapped her arms around my neck and snuggled into my chest.
I wonder if…no she wouldn't…did she…did she love me back?
"You were my guardian angel!"
"What," I asked, truly confused.
"You were the one that said I love you, weren't you?" Her wise eyes, although tired and drooping, gazed at me with the look that said tell-the-truth. I didn't know what to say, all I could do was stare at her with wide eyes.
She heard me say I love you, now everything is ruined. She probably doesn't love me back, and that would make things totally awkward between us.
I looked down, hoping she wouldn't see me blush. Her breath caught in her throat.
I knew it, she doesn't love me back! How could I be so stupid to believe that Max would love a freak like me? She would probably rather have a normal boy who didn't have wings growing from his spine.
"Fang," she murmured. I looked up, and realized just how close her lips were to mine.
"Yes Max?"
"You don't know how long I've waited to hear you say that," and her lips came crashing down on mine. As her lips touched mine, my world filled with bright lights. Every corner of my mind was filled with the burning need to hold her, kiss her, and keep her safe. The moment lasted for a minute but it felt like hours had gone by. We had ended up back on the floor. Max was cradled to my chest and I was leaning against the cave wall. Nothing was bothering us, we had a chunk of time just to relax and hold each other.
Two hours later
Max had fallen asleep in my arms. She looked so peaceful in her sleep. Her flowing hair had already grown back to its normal length; I had a feeling that she would find a way to cut it somehow; I swiped a stray piece of it behind her ear. As I brought my hand back down her cheek; the place her skin touched mine burned. I could never remember a time when I felt happier then this moment; everything I ever dreamed of was coming true. Little did I know that while I sat there with not a care in the world, the cave we were hiding in was being surrounded by flyboys.
