Fall for you by Secondhand Serenade

Using a shaking fist to knock carefully on the front door I waited for someone to answer. I heard footsteps walking in a hurry to the front door that separated my love from me. The door swung open and a happy face turned to a face of anger twisted with pain. Nudge swayed from one for to another as pushed her fuzzed hair out of her face.

" Fang, I don't think you should be here," she stated silently as she stared at the ground.

"You don't understand Nudge-"

"I do to understand Fang, I understand perfectly. I heard the story all night and I saw how it tore Max to pieces! I think I think I understand!" that was so un Nudge like. She didn't ramble on, she didn't ask questions. No instead she had her sentences picked and prepared perfectly to push the knife of Max's pain farther into my heart. I don't think I would be able to take much more of that.

" Please Nudge, I won't fight with her. Just talk to her?" starting to sway from one foot to the other again she looked deep into my eyes. Her hair was more of a mess then it usually was, her lovely dark skin didn't show the shadows that were more then likely there from the lack of sleep she achieved last night.

"Please?" I was more then willing to beg.

"Fine," she shook her head in defeat," fine, follow me."

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

"Nudge! Why?!" Max screeched as she hared two sets of footsteps making their way to her room. I saw her throw her body onto the bed that was covered in a lame old fashion flowered pattern blanket. Her hair was tangled and I could hear choking sobs escape her throat.

"Max, I just want talk." I sad very quietly.

"Just give him one chance Max and if it doesn't work I'll throw him out personally," Nudge as she kneeled next to Max laying her hand gently on her knee. Before she stood and walked out of the room. Instead of stepping closer I stood where I was. Better safe then sorry, right?

Max slowly lifted herself up on her elbows staring at the bed. She was wearing exactly what she wore last night. Her plain white T-shirt with her long jeans. They were stained with mud and grass where she landed roughly into the ground last night.

" Let's get this over with," she stated, I got a good look at the tear stain streaks down her cheeks when she finally turned to look at me. I sighed at least we weren't fighting.

"Max," I whispered before taking a deep breath.

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

Taking a deep breath herself she sat up straighter, she was going to give me a chance. A chance I didn't deserve but I was fighting for. I dropped to my knees hitting them hard on the wood floor below, why was I even here? Wasting her time, that was it.

I could feel her eyes drilling into my hunched figure, I never cried in front of her. Maybe she would make Nudge remove me from her room, because she found me weak and pointless. I was wasting her time. I had wasted so much time in her life that she could have been with someone else.

" Fang..." I looked up at her, she eyes were still strict and upset. I managed to stand and was thinking about turning and leaving. No I had to take this last chance. If I walked out that door now, my life would be over. My whole reason for living was in this room, suffering because of me. I had to at least attempt to make it alright, for her not myself.

"Max, there's no one else like you, you are my reason for living. It doesn't explain why I did what I did. Like I said before, if you were listening to me last night. I never thought I deserved someone as amazing as you, someone as rare as you. You have a pure heart. Always making sure the flock is happy and healthy. You cared for me, loved me with your whole heart! Which I never deserved, I don't deserve, and I'll never deserve. I just really want you to know that you a rare person to find. I wasted my chance, Max, I know that. I just don't want you broken, I don't want to see you hurt. I can hardly believe I caused this." my head fell to my chest in shame. I hope I was making my point clear.

I could fell the ache in my stomach of the love that rested there for her, that I ignored because I didn't want to give in, incase she did come to her senses and leave me.

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start
Ohhhh

I waited to see if she would say something, or at least nod, and when it didn't come I took a deep breath to continue.

" Maximum Ride, I never intended on hurting you," I felt tears roll down my cheeks, " I've always loved you, way before you kissed me on the beach when you thought I was dyeing. I loved you since I met you at the school, yes when we were just little kids. It was a different love then that only developed into a deeper stronger lover over time."

I took another pause to look at Max's face.

" Fang," she whispered but looked like she decided against adding any thing else. So I carried on, " I know I failed at being a boyfriend, being a friend, being who I was suppose to be to you, the love of my life. I just can't believe you would settle for me."

Looking at her tear stained cheeks and stared into her deep breath taking eyes. I will always love her, of course if I ever got a second chance I wouldn't screw up again. Never again, even if my second chance was just still being a friend on her myspace.

" I know you don't want to believe what I said to be true, but it is! I swear whole-heartedly! I swear on my life, that everything that I have said today is true," I looked at the ground, preparing to leave again, it didn't seem to be getting any better.

The woman of my dreams sat in front of me staring at the pillow she had on her lap.

Even with her hair a mess, her shirt torn slightly and her jeans grass stained, I loved her, and she was always beautiful to me.

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
'Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you're asleep

Leaning next to Max's knees on the little one person bed. She didn't look up from the pillow, not even when I grabbed her fragile hand in mine. She wouldn't have to answer anything I said. My words were the ones that had to be worth something. Be strong enough, good enough for her to listen to them.

" Maybe I'll talk to you again tomorrow, after you had a chance to think about it." I started to stand but I felt a slight tug on my arm when I tried to pull my hand from hers.

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find

My heart leapt a little at this slight hope forcing me to sit down again next to her on the floor. She didn't say anything still so I wrapped my other hand around the hand I already held. Not to push my luck I had to force myself not to kiss her hand.

"Max, I can't think of anything else to say, you know how I feel, you are the perfect woman out there, you are strong and brave. You take so much shit and still stand tall. You saved the world and the flocks' lives. You are beautiful and you take my breath away. I can only say that you will be the only one I love, you are the only one with my heart. You can rip it, stomp on it, light it on fire. Yet it will always be yours. You are you, and you are rare, perfect, perfect to me." tears slid down my cheeks again, I'm such a softy when it came to her. Always.

Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

"Fang," she lifted her head and looked at me. Her eyes were sad, yet there seemed to be a different emotion there. Maybe she was actually listening to everything I said. Maybe she would forgive me! I looked into her eyes and gave her a shaky smile, it was plain to see that I was still guilty, upset at what I had done, but I tried just for her.

"Fang, I will always love you, even though you put me through this, I don't have a choice. I will always love you, because you too are one of a kind," she managed a weak smile.

"Max," I wrapped my arms around your waist and laid my head in her lap. She ran her hands through my hair brushing it out of my eyes and caressed my cheek, "you truly are one of a kind Max, no one would have a kind enough heart to forgive someone as worthless as me."

Max shook her head side to side denying that statement, she hunched over and kissed my forehead.

"Now, you do that again, I will round house kick you in the face." she laughed and I joined her, there was never going to be a next time. I got the second chance I fought for, but didn't deserve, and I wasn't letting it go to waste. I wouldn't give Max a reason to leave and I will always love her.
