1Authors Note- Nudge is only 14 in this story. In the last chapter she drove. But I figured that if Max drove when she was that age, why shouldn't Nudge?
Please review!
Fangs POV
I walked silently along the sidewalk to our house. I felt so good. Max brought out a whole new side of me. I felt so happy with her, so fresh. I hoped she was feeling better. I was going to take her out to dinner tonight and tell her that I loved her. That she means the world to me. That I wanted nothing but to be with her.
I walked up the long driveway and opened our front door. I was surprised Nudge didn't come running to me talking about what they did today. She was sitting on the couch quietly(yes I did say quietly) and staring blankly at a show. Whatever. Not my problem. I turned into the hallway and into Max's bedroom, which was empty.
"Max?" I called. "MAX?" I checked every room in the house. No Max. I asked Nudge. She leapt from her feet and ran to Max's room.
"Shoot! Where is she? She told me she needed a nap and not to bother her! O man! What if she got kidnapped?" I covered her mouth. The Flock all came home and we all searched.
I was frantic until I heard Iggy's voice coming from Max's room. I ran in. He handed me a note, written in Max's handwriting. The Flock rushed in and I read it out loud.
Flock,
I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry. But I can't be with you anymore. I am causing you danger. I can't explain. But I think it's for the best. I don't know when I will be back. Maybe never. I don't even know where I am going, what I am doing. Maybe it would be better to leave forever.
You might be mad. But if you look in your heart, you will see why I had to leave.
I love you all.
Max
Tears burned my eyes. How could she do this? I love her! I thought she loved me back. I thought she cared. And in this letter she's suggesting maybe suicide. I bit my lip and checked the Flock. Tears ran down their cheeks. Angel was sobbing.
I pulled my arm back and punched the wall. My knuckles cracked and blood rushed out. Plus there was a dent in her wall. I went invisible and walked into my room and slammed the door.
How could we live without her? How could she do this?!? I kicked my closet door, causing it to shudder. Some things fell off the shelves. A heart rolled past my foot. A tear ran down my cheek. Max made me that heart box in art class last month.
If you look in your heart, you will see why I had to leave.
I dropped to the floor and grabbed the box. I ripped the top open and inside was a note. From Max.
Fang
You're going to kill me. I know you're mad. But I had to leave. I am too embarrassed to stay. You can't tell anyone this. But remember that time 3 months ago? I'm pregnant. And I can't deal with all of you guys yelling at me. I can't deal with people at school making fun of me. I don't know what to do, so I flew away. This is too much pressure for me. I saved the world at age 14. I'm pregnant at 17. I'm a mess.
I love you Fang. I have always loved you. Always will.
Max
That's when I blacked out.
