Ch. 5

Iggy's Prov…

I felt the bomb go off. I smiled. Now Max could just have Fang and not have to deal with me. I let myself go. Keeping my wings tucked in tight. Then I felt arms again come over me. Behind my head and my waist. And then get put down gently. It was Max…

WHAT THE HELL. I was supposed to die. I didn't hurt like at all.

I felt a hand smack me as I was sitting up. I heard sobs. "What the hell? Why did you do that?" I heard Max say.

"Didn't you read my note?" I sighed.

"Yeah and I didn't think you would go this far you could have killed yourself. And the fireworks were amazing. Do you; really feel that way about me?" She asked

"Look at me Max." She turned her head. I could see her again! I smiled. "Max every time I touch you my heart goes for a ride. Every time you look at me I feel like I just got zapped. Every time we kiss, I feel like I would rather die a million times than it ends. And every time I see your face, I have a perfect view of heaven." There were my thoughts. I was in total love with her.

"Iggy?" she put her warm hand on my face. "You can see?" she said looking me straight in the eyes.

"Only when I look at Angels." I smiled.

Max's Prov…

That had to be love. He could only see when he looked at me. I think I might be falling for him. Wait! No no I love Fang. Do I?

We were sitting there for a while.

"I need to know if you like me." Iggy said still looking at me.

"Well what do I say; if I say no you kill yourself, if I say yes I want to make sure it's right." I explained.

"All I want is the truth. For you not to go back to Fang and tell him you lied to me. I just want you to know I love you." He smiled. We headed back.

I got Fang and Iggy in the living room to say what I thought about. "You two are two amazing guys. Fang I have loved you for years and years. And I have only thought of Iggy like that for a few hours. And I needed to give you both an answer. And…" I walked toward Iggy and gave him a tight hug. "But I love Fang." I said and walked over to Fang.

I saw the disappointment in Iggy's face. The terror, the sadness, and the anger.

"Of course you pick him, he's smart, dark, sarcastic, and he can see, hell I would date him. But he could never give you what I can. He can never love you the way I do." He said.

Iggy's Prov…

Tears were streaking down my face. I grabbed my bag. I heard the younger ones run down the stairs. They lined up. "Angel, you were right, everything happened like it was supposed to." I gave her a hug and kissed her on the forehead. "Gazzy you have been my best friend for the longest time. And I will miss you so much." I said giving him a hug and saying in his ear. "There's a stink bomb in Fangs room". "Nudge you are great and I would be a hopeless fashion wearer without you." I gave her a hug. They were all crying. I stood up to Fang. "Bye, even though I don't like you, I will miss you. Take care of Max you lucky son of a-" He cut me off with a hug. I pulled away and I looked at Max, I could see again. Tears ran from my face again. "Max, I will never ever forget you. Your smile, your laugh, your eyes, they are all in my memory and I will always remember what happened today." I turned to everyone. "I won't see any of you again" I said with tears racing from my eyes. "But I will never forget you." I turned my last goodbye to Max. She hugged me tightly. "This time you won't be coming after me ok? I love you and I always will but I can't keep playing this game." I pulled back. I put my bag on my back.

You are distending to be with Max, Iggy. I had a vision last night. Angel popped in my head. I turned one last time to see my flock. I loved them all so much. I spread my wings and took off, tears still flooding. Shit. I thought. I flew back as fast as I could. I knocked into Fang as I landed. I got up quickly. "Everyone out now!" I yelled.

"Why?" Max yelled back.

"I was planning to kill myself while you guys were away but I forgot to switch the bomb off. Get out now!"

They all trampled out. The explosion went off. I had only seconds to see Max still within range. I dove right in front of her so she wouldn't get hit.

I did. "Max is you ok?"

"Iggy you're bleeding." I smiled.

"Oh well." I smiled.

I leaned forward and kissed her. She didn't retreat or anything she just kissed me back. We did that for as long as we could without breathing. Fang stood over us. He rolled his eyes and looked away.

"Do you love me?" I asked.

"Iggy, you are my new reason to live. Fang wouldn't have taken that bomb for me. I love you." She smiled.
