Chapter 4: Second thoughts
I do not own the character nor the book. I just own whatever plot I come up with.
I finally reach a destination. Where am I at, I don't know I've been flying for forever, at least that what is seems like. As I sit there in the middle, look around through the blur of my tear ridden eyes. I begin to wonder where did I fly too. I see a tree with a tire swing on it, it look vaguely familiar but I can't seem make out what it is. I rub her eyes in hopes of that the blurriness will go away and I'd be able to make out what it is. I decide to get closer to the swing that is faintly moving in the spring breeze. My eyes widen as I figured out what it is.
It was the tire swing that Fang and I used to come too when our relationship was new and fresh and I for sure thought he loved me. Now that I saw it, I begin to cry even more from the pain I felt from seeing it. With the speed and strength I have, I was able to break swing off of the branch it was tied too. As it hit the ground, my eyes widen as I fall to the ground and I begin wonder what did I just do. Why was I feeling so much pain, I thought after all I was the one who ended it with Fang. Maybe it was the way he acted after the fact. How could someone be so cold and heartless? I mean we were going out for a year and a half. When did he come to find out that he didn't love me anymore? Or that he had no respect for me to act differently towards the end?
And Iggy...He was sweet, kind, and caring. After what Fang told him and how Fang flicked him off, he stayed calm and even tried to calm me down. I guess he could tell I was breaking down in the inside. Because it's not normal for me to break down on the outside. I'm the leader of the flock, I have to be strong..I can't show pain or weakness..My thoughts were interrupted when I hear the sound of someone walking behind me.
Iggy: Max, I know your hurting on the inside. I can't leave you alone in a time like this.
Max: How did you find me, Iggy? I didn't even know you knew about this place.
Iggy: Of course I know. Remember you told me one of the times before when you and Fang were having trouble. I knew you would be here. What happened to the swing?
Iggy can hear me begin to sob even more.
Iggy: Oh, forget the question! I didn't mean to make you cry more. Shoot...I always do this..
Max: Do what? And you're fine. I tore it down. I'll be damned if Fang brings another girl here...to our swing..
Iggy: I always put my foot in my mouth. I'm supposed to be here making you feel better, not making you cry more then you already are. Please talk me, please tell me whats going on in your head, what are you thinking about?
Max: Well...*I turn around to face Iggy and I motion him to sit down in front of me so I can look into his eyes as I talk to him, which he does so holding my hand giving it a tight squeeze*..We were going out for a year and a half..When he did come to realize he didn't love me anymore or lost all respect for me to do what he did?! *I can feel my voice starting to rise and the anger boiling underneath my skin, I have to stop in mid sentence so I don't end up taking my anger out on Iggy*..I'm sorry if it seems like I was raising my voice to you. I just don't get it. I know I know, I broke up with him, but it was his actions that caused this break up. When did he become so cold?
Iggy not knowing how to answer because he is not so sure himself how one person can be so loving one day and the next be so cold and heartless.
Iggy: Max, I know it hurts. But time will heal your pain and you soon will forget the love you once had for Fang. *Iggy bites his lips, trying to figure out how he can rephrase what he just said.* Ok, hmm, well not so much forget, because I know Fang was your first love and you will always have that first bond since you lost your virginity to him. Time will ease that pain, he will always be in your heart, but he will just be a memory.
STAY TUNED!
