Disclaimer: As I said before no I do NOT own Maximum Ride. Wish I had Iggy though.

Her name was Rachel. She was like us. Another experiment from the School, she'd had the same sort of childhood as us except she'd never escaped, never had a real chance at a remotely normal life. Unlike us. You could practically see the pain through her eyes; maybe that was what attracted Fang. They just connected, even I could see that. I just couldn't admit it, I still can't.

FLASHBACK

You kept glancing back and fourth at Her, sending signals. I could tell why. You thought no-one noticed when you walked together through the trees. You didn't see me watching the two of you. But I was watching, just out of plain sight. I could see the two of you drawing nearer, holding hands. I could hear Her giggled as you kissed her lightly. I could feel the passion emanating from the two of you. You started to kiss more intimately, I continued watching. Frozen to the spot. Wanting to look away; praying to be able to move. Yet at the same time I couldn't stop. Like some grotesque horror film. Eventually I turned, fleeing into the forest; you were both too busy to hear my choked sobs.

END FLASHBACK

And still you didn't end my torture. You didn't tell me that it was over. You just pretended not to know. Until that night when everything came crashing down upon me. That night you took my heart and smashed it on the floor.

FLASHBACK

We were sitting face to face; I was biting my lip, trying hard not to break down and sob. Fang was sitting tensely looking at everything but my face.

"Max, I'm really sorry but-" Fang began, I interrupted him knowing what he was going to say,

"You've fallen for someone else and you think it would be best if we broke up because you don't want to hurt me anymore than you already have. Believe me Fang; I've known that for so long I was just waiting for you to break it off." I'd known they'd been meeting together; the other day I'd seen them kissing by the fire whilst I was supposedly asleep, "In my opinion we were over way before she came; so I'm just glad you made a clean break of it. If that's all you wanted to say I have to take first watch. I'll wake you up when it's your turn." I finished abruptly then stood up and walked to my prime spot right beside the fire, Fang stared at me for a while then nodded and slunk back into the shadows; I could only see the light of the fire glinting in his eyes from where I sat, he didn't even care how I was feeling; he didn't realise that at that very moment he'd shattered my heart into a million pieces. Because we were over – he didn't have to care anymore.
