A/N: Here's another chapter and I made it longer to make up for Chapter 2. I put some of Fang's POV and I hope you all like it. Thanks again to everyone who reviewed; I honestly didn't think people were going to read this. (I need to work on my self- esteem) lol

Disclaimer: I don't own any Maximum Ride characters.

On with the story.

Chapter 3

I felt something cold brush my cheek and I woke up startled. I looked around but there was no one there. The wind picked up and I noticed it had been the cold morning wind that had woken me up. I got up and stretched yawning lightly.

So much for staying up on watch. I told myself.

I started to walk back into the room when I remembered what I had done last night. I stopped walking and I stood there. What had happened to me last night, what had I been thinking doing something stupid like that. He could've woken up and he would have-. What would have he done, he would have probably pushed me away. I felt something pull at my heart at the thought. I brushed the feeling away and started walking back into the room.

I looked at the bed and Fang wasn't there anymore. For the first time I noticed that the shower was running and I figured Fang was in there. I walked out into the hallway and headed to Angel's and Nudge's rooms.

I knocked on the door and I heard Angel tell me to come in. I walked into the room and closed the door behind me. Angel was sitting on the bed putting her shoes on. She looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back at her and sat down next to her. I motioned for her to give me her foot so that I could tie her shoes for her.

"Are you feeling ok honey?" I asked her referring to last night. I patted her shoe when I was done and she slid her foot of the bed.

"Yeah." She said smiling at me. She still looked a little sad so I hugged her and she hugged me back.

"Angel, where's Nudge?" I asked her.

"She's taking a shower; she'll probably be out in a few." She told me.

"Ok, what to you say we go shopping after breakfast?" I asked her. She nodded enthusiastically.

"Yeah please can we go?" She said beaming a smile at me.

"Tell Nudge we're going after breakfast, ok."

"Mhhm, I will." I walked out of the room and headed over to Iggy's and Gazzy's room. I walked into their room and noticed that they were both still asleep. I shook them both awake and told them to get ready to go eat some breakfast.

"Ok we'll be ready in a little bit." Iggy told me getting up. I started to walk out of the room and I noticed Iggy was following me. He followed me out into the corridor and he took my hand so to stop me from walking away. It was kind of weird how he could tell where my hand was. I had an idea of what was coming and I didn't really want to talk about it.

"Max I need to talk to you about something." He said looking at me with his sightless eyes.

"What is it?" I asked him although I was pretty sure I knew.

"Max last night Gazzy heard you and Fang arguing and he started to tear up. I really think that you and Fang have to work things out because I'm worried about Gazzy and Angel."

"I know that but I don't even know why I and Fang start arguing sometimes." Iggy sighed and shook his head slightly.

"Look Max, Angel and Gazzy look up to you guys, kind of like their parents and they're really young they feel like they need to choose between you and Fang."

"Do you know how Nudge is holding up?" I asked him.

"The other day we were talking and she told me she was feeling ok, but a little bummed out." He said in a low voice.

"What about you?" I asked him.

"Well you're like a sister to me and Fang's like a brother to me and it hurts to see you two arguing." He said truthfully.

"We all need each other and if you two are fighting then the flock feels divided." He was right.

"Ok I'll try and talk to Fang later today, so that we can fix all this." I hugged him and he hugged me back awkwardly.

"Ugh Max let go." He groaned.

"Fine you macho, thanks for everything." I said letting him go. I noticed for the first time that he wasn't wearing a shirt.

"Fighting erasers has been treating you well hasn't it?" I said slapping his cut stomach playfully.

"I try." He said smugly walking back into the room. I caught the door before he closed it.

"We're going shopping after breakfast, tell Gazzy." I told him.

"Ok I will." I turned around and he shut the door. I inhaled a breath of fresh air and started walking back to Fang and mine's room.

I thought over what Iggy had said to me and before I knew it I was standing in front of the door to our room. I stood there for a little but I couldn't bring myself to open the door for some reason. I stood there in front of the door for who knows how long when I finally knocked on the door.

"Come in." I heard Fang say loudly from the other side of the door. I walked in and I felt heat rush to my face. Fang was rummaging for something in his backpack, but he wasn't wearing a shirt. He looked up and I tried to compose myself.

"Fang hurry up and put a shirt on will you?" I told him.

"I would if I could find one." He said back. He flung his backpack onto the floor and shook the bed sheets.

"Now what?" I asked him.

"I told you I'm trying to find a shirt." He said a little louder. I swallowed down a remark and went to help him look for one. I poked around in the bed sheets when I saw some black fabric. I pulled it out and sure enough it was one of Fang's shirts.

"Fang, here." He looked up and I tossed him his shirt.

"Thanks, you think we can go to the store later, because pretty much all my shirts are torn somewhere." He said putting his shoes on.

"Yeah I already told everyone we were going after breakfast." I said sitting down on the bed.

"Oh ok then let me just wash my teeth so that we can go, you want to check out right now or later?"

"Later that way we have somewhere to pack before we leave." I lay down on the bed while he went into the bathroom to brush his teeth. I hadn't slept well last night and the bed felt really inviting. I was starting to doze off when Fang walked out of the bathroom.

Fang's POV

I was mentally slapping myself for not leaving my shirt somewhere I would find it easily when I heard a knock at the door.

"Come in!" I said frustrated. I rummaged through my backpack and looked up to see Max standing there a little stiffly. I noticed her relax a little.

"Fang hurry up and put a shirt on will you?"

"I would if I could find one." I said frustrated. I flung the backpack onto the floor after not finding anything of use in there and I started to move the bed sheets around looking for my shirt.

"Now what?" Max asked me.

"I told you I'm trying to find a shirt." I half yelled. I thought she was going to say something but instead she walked over to the bed and started helping me look for it. Even after I had practically yelled at her it surprised me that she was helping me. I knew I would've probably said something back. I admired that about her, how she controlled herself under tight situations. She always knew how to act when Ari started to taunt us, she didn't over react and she didn't make rash decisions when she was angry. It was part of what made her such a great leader. I noticed that I had been looking at her this whole time and I quickly started to look for my shirt again.

"Fang, here." I looked up at her and she tossed me my shirt. I caught it and slipped it on.

"Thanks, you think we can go to the store later because all my shirts are torn somewhere." I said putting my shoes on.

She sat down on the bed and I noticed she looked a little tired.

"Yeah I already told everyone we were going after breakfast." She said sitting down on the bed.

"Oh ok then let me just wash my teeth so that we can go, are you gonna want to check out right now or later?" I asked her.

"Later that way we have somewhere to pack before we leave." She thought of everything. Sometimes I wondered how she managed to keep everything together. I walked into the bathroom but left the door open so that I could keep an eye on her. I started to brush my teeth and from the mirror I noticed she had lain down on the bed and that her eyes were closing.

I remembered last night and I started to feel guilty about giving her such a hard time after we had checked in last night. I had seen her sleeping on the chair out on the balcony in the morning and I figured she had been too mad at me to sleep in the same bed with me. It was my fault she was so tired. I wouldn't have been able to sleep so well on a chair out in the cold.

I looked at her again and noticed she was dozing off. I finished washing my teeth slowly thinking some stuff over. When I finished I walked out of the bathroom and Max sat up wiping the grogginess out of her eyes.

Please review!! Hugs for anyone who does. The more you review the more I'll be inspired (lame lol) to write so seriously review.
