I ran as fast as I could. Just gotta keep running Max. It's okay. Nothing can get to you if you just keep running.

And I just kept running. Nowhere in particular, just had to get away. Get away… from him. My eyes started watering at the thought. And I remembered….

"You're not leaving." I turned to the woman standing next to him.

"I'm sorry, but he can't stay. He has a home here… With people who love him for who he is, not what. Because they didn't sell him to torturers." I practically spat in her face. She winced. This woman, this manipulator was trying to take Fang from me. But she wouldn't succeed. Fang maybe wanted to meet his mom, but he wouldn't stay, would he? Honestly, I wanted him to be happy. But this lady who called herself his long lost mother was a creep. Fang glared at me.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" He growled in my ear. I nodded angrily. What the hell did he see in her?! We walked over to behind a tree.

"What do you think you're doing?!" he whisper-yelled into my ear.

"I'm saving your butt. That woman will use you. She doesn't care about you! She wants the satisfaction!" His eyes pierced into my skull, black with anger.

"Max, I can make my own decisions! And this time, I want to choose my way. It's always your way, always your idea. I want to be with my real family. I know you don't like her, because you don't approve. Well guess what Max, I don't need your approval. It's not about her, Max, this is about you. I know you just don't want me to leave. Because then I'll have chosen her over you. And we all know that no ones better than Max." I felt as though I had been shot with a freaking bullet. My eyes started to water. I could see the regret in his eyes, but I was too shocked to care. Too mad.

My feet slammed against the dirt. Tears drained from my face. Why? Why, why, why?

"What have I ever done for you besides what care for you? What have I ever done that's lead you in the wrong direction?" My voice shook with tears, anger, shock; it was scary. "I've gone through my whole life putting everyone else first. All I ever live for is so that you guys can survive and be happy. What did I ever do to make you think I didn't? My whole freaking life Fang, was for you guys. And I wouldn't ever want to hurt you. I'd kill someone else if they were trying to hurt you. Why can't you see that?"

I turned around and walked away from him. Would he follow me? No. He went to his "mother". I heard her disgusting nasal voice talk to him in a fake loving way.

"Oh Nick, I love you so much. Are you sure you want to do this?" Oh the nerve that woman had. She knew he had blew it with me. She knew he had no choice but to come with her.

Fang grunted. Right before I was out of earshot, I heard him mutter, "I just wanna see my family. Let's go."

Suddenly, I felt like I had been run over by a truck. Fang. He wasn't coming back. It wasn't a small bicker. He was gone.

I stopped and laid down right where I was, curled up in a ball, and cried.

Fang's POV:

God, oh God, what have I done?! But I can't go back now… Can't let her win. She'll never respect me again. Never trust me… Oh man. What have I done?

Max's POV:

She had come to our door. She told me she had been looking for him for years. She said she regretted giving him away for her whole life. She lied.

And I hated him. Hated him for believing her. Hated him for leaving us. Leaving me. Well, I could prove I could handel the flock without him.

Couldn't I?
