Angel with a shotgun
Max's POV:
After Lissa and Sam ran out, the gang or what I like to call them "the flock" pushed me on the platform of the karaoke machine. I sighed loudly so they could pick up on my "totally don't want to do this" voice.
No, rather they ignored my attempt to smuggle out of this. I was scrolling through the song list about to pick Riot by Three days grace when someone *cough Star cough* pushed Fang up here.
He bumped into my shoulder making me pick another song by accident. Fang glared at his young sister. "Star? Why did you push me?" He said calmly. She giggled sounding like Angel when she did it. "Because it's both your turn. You can sing too, Fang. It wouldn't hurt." He sighed looking at me for help.
I shrugged. "Oh well. What song we singing?" He asked. I looked down at the pad that showed our song. I blushed a little. Angel with a shotgun! This song made me wanna grow wings and fly. I don't know why, but I just wanted to...you know, fly.
Fang looked down at the screen. He smirked "How ironic..." a bit of red showed on his pale face. Probably from lack of sleep. I didn't see what was ironic about it, but I decided to leave it alone. Maybe a inside joke to him or something.
Angel with a shotgun by The Cab
I'm an angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun.
Angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun.
Get out your guns. Battles begun.
Are you a saint or a sinner?
If loves a fight, then I shall die, with my heart on the trigger.
They say before you start a war
You better know what your fighting for.
Well baby your all that I adore.
If love is what you need, a soldier I will be.
I'm an angel with a shotgun,
Fighting till the wars won.
I don't care if heaven won't take me back.
I'll throw away my faith babe, just to keep you safe.
Don't you know your everything I have?
And I,
Wanna live, not just survive.
Tonight.
Sometimes to win, you got to sin.
Don't mean I'm not a believer.
And major Tom, will sing along.
Yeah they still say I'm a dreamer.
They say before you start a war,
you better know what your fighting for.
Well baby your all that I adore.
If love is what you need, a soldier I will be.

Tonight.
Oh, ohhhh aohhh, oh, ohhhh, aohhh. Oh, ohhhh, aohhh.

Fighting till the wars won.

(A/N: I shit you not, the first time I listened to this song, I automatically thought of Maximum Ride.)
I watched as the screen faded to black. Looking up at my friends I saw happy cheering faces. Except for Iggy. Maybe he didn't like the song. I don't know. I watched Fang looking around the room with his amazing Olive eyes. We made eye contact for what seemed like a thousand years.
I kind of wanted to stay there for a few thousand more. Even if his eyes were that shade of green, it was like a green galaxy of stares. I just wanted to draw the universe. Lissa walked in causing my attention. She and Sam held hands tightly.
I smiled lightly. She had been stressed out about Iggy's cancer and the fact that he could slip away at any moment. Speaking of cancer, I felt my stomach clench. The pain in my abdomen was growing. Beads of sweat was rolling down my face, which was probably pale.
Crap! Not here! Not now! I looked at Iggy who was frowning at me. I rubbed my side a little. His eyebrows shot up. He knew what was happening and shakes Ari's arm. Ari looked up at me and got up waving Angel to follow.
I got off the platform and pulled out my phone. I whispered to my mother over the phone to avoid a seen with my friends. After hanging up, I looked at Fang and Star who needed a ride to the hospital. I felt bad leaving them, but I don't want them or let alone, everyone to know I have cancer.
"Fang, somethin came up. I have to leave. Finish off those hoggis for me and Ari. Talk to you later." We was about to protest, but I speed out to the car. Ari Sat me in slowly. Angel sat in the back looking at me threw the mirror. "We forgot Ella." She said simply.
"Ella doesn't need to come. She needs to be there with those other kids. Besides, she probably picked up on what's happening from Iggy." Ari said sternly. I clenched my abdomen and felt hot tears burning behind my brown eyes.
"Hold on, Max... Hold on." Ari took my hand.
After we reached the hospital, I was carried to my room and was put to sleep for pain slipped away fast. I was dreaming I was flying in the sky. The people below looked like tiny ants from this far up. I thought I was alone, but Fang flew out of nowhere.
He had black wings matching his hair. I wanted to feel his feathers, but knew that dreaming was weird. He hovered above me, matching our wing beats. I turned upside down and flew. I don't know why, but my arms raised up and hugged his body. He did the same.
I felt so natural, yet I was so surprised and scared. I pushed away from him. He looked surprised and suddenly turned to ashes. I felt my throat burn and my eyes sting. Had I done that to him?
The sun turned black and I lost altitude. I was falling with my back still faced down. The sky filled it's self with ash. I was horrified. When I looked down, the city was charcoal. People screamed bloody murder. I tried to ignore the people's voices, but failed miserably. Why had I pushed him away?
I liked the hug, but...
My wings catches fire. I feel my back sting. I was about to scream when a pair of arms grabbed me. It was Fang! He didn't disappear. He held tight to me. He moved his lips to my ear. "Max..."
My own name sent shivers down my back. "Max...I won't let you die. Because I'm..." I looked up at him. He was smiling wide. Ash covered his face. "Your angel with a shotgun." He said happily. I wrapped my arms around him. "Fang!"
Iggy's POV:
I was looking at Max's sleeping body. I wrapped my arms around her. "Max... I won't let you die. Because I'm..." She twitched a little in her sleep. "Your angel with a shotgun." She out stretched her arms hugging me back. I was happy, but then she said...
"Fang!"
