I am back! Thank you soooo much for the reviews, but there is still WAY more readers than reviewers.

Note for mythscavenger: I followed your advice in this chapter. You probably know what I mean. ;)

Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride, Twilight, or this really cute pair of shoes that I want that I have to pay for with my OWN money! Well, you can't have everything you want.

Max's POV

After school I drove home at a very rapid pace. Green flew by my window and rain pelted my windshield.

When I finally got home I found a note attached to the door.

It read:

Dear Max,

I'm sorry I have to leave on such short notice. I was offered a job in California, and didn't want to make you move again. I will be back in about three months. Be good and take care of yourself.

See you soon,

Jeb

I couldn't believe it. Jeb had left me again. This time he had left a note and it wasn't for evil causes, but he still left.

I entered to find Total watching television, again. At least he never left me.

"Hi Max," he greeted me.

"Hey Total. I'm going to go to bed early," I replied.

He nodded his furry head.

I heated up two bowls of soup in the microwave, both for me, and ate heartily.

Then I took a shower. I will spare you the details of it. I finished my sleeping preparations, and I was off to bed.

I peeled away the covers and climbed in.

As I lay there in the darkness I started thinking about the Flock.

Iggy with his cooking skills and bombs.

Gazzy and his bad digestive system.

Angel with her devious mind and powers.

Nudge and her motor mouth.

Fang with his silence, his face that gave none of his emotions away, his way of knowing what I was thinking, and always having my back.

I started crying then. I just couldn't hold it in any longer.

I wept until I was asleep.

Edward's POV

I wanted to see her again. It was selfish to put her in danger this way, but still here I am, standing below her window, waiting for her to fall asleep.

I could hear her crying and I had to fight the urge to go comfort her.

Soon, her breathing steadied. I could tell she was asleep.

I climbed up her wall and jumped through the window. Her eyes popped open immediately and I jumped back out.

"Must be seeing things," I heard her mutter.

Her breathing evened out again, and I tried once again to enter.

Her eyes fluttered open again. Once more I jumped out.

"Hey!" she shouted after me.

I straightened.

It is a little shorter than the rest, but I have terrible writers block. Review me some suggestions. Please review. *bats eyelashes*
