FANG POV
'Tie up these loose ends…'
I grabbed the composition once more and changed a few chords. Just as I was about to add my last bit of lyrics, the phone rang out. Knowing that it could in no way be for me (unless if was one of those creepy fangirls from school, who followed me everywhere), I ignored it and grabbed my black guitar once more.
"Nick!!! Jeff's on the phone!!!" My mom yelled out from the kitchen. Jeff? I don't know a…oh! Iggy…
I reluctantly left my room to grab the phone. Once the black cordless was in my hand, I returned to my dark dwelling.
"Hey Ig" I greeted.
"Fang, did you hear—"
I interrupted. "About Max…and Sam? Yeah, what about it?"
"You sound really calm…" He pointed out.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
"Oh come on!" He exclaimed. "We all know you like Max."
"…"
"Ugh, fine, deny it. So, will you be coming?"
"I guess…" I sighed.
He groaned. "Ok, well, I can tell you don't really want to talk…"
"Bingo!" I agreed.
"So I'll just leave now. Bye!"
"Bye…"
Pressing the end button on the phone, I threw it onto my bed and grabbed my guitar, strumming out the first few chords for my song.
MAX POV
I sat on the balcony of my room, listening to the radio play softly in the background. And then I heard a familiar song, and since I was bored, I wanted to sing along. I haven't sung in so long… not since that one time…Angel made me sing her to sleep. Self-consciously, I glanced around the room, and, once I had assured that no one was there, I began to sing.

Who needs all the answers?
Who takes all the chances?
Who said the truth's gonna save you?
When the truth could be dangerous
Like the way I feel
It's all right to steal
What I need from you
Do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
Go where I have to go
And that's dangerous
Dangerous to know
Know know know
I was a law onto myself
When you found me out on my own
Together nothing was sacred
Together we where alone
Who needs all the questions?
Who lost their direction?
Who said a lie's gonna break you?
When a lie could be dangerous
Like the way I feel
It's all right to steal
What I need from you
Do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
Go where I have to go
And that's dangerous
Dangerous to know
Ignorance is bliss
You're safe when you resist
There's no safety in a kiss like this
It's dangerous
So kiss me
Kiss me
Like the way I feel
It's all right to steal
What I need from you
Do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
Go where I have to go
And that's dangerous
Dangerous
Like the way I feel
It's all right to steal
What I need from you
Do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
Go where I have to go
And that's dangerous
Dangerous to know
know, know, know
I rung out the last note and smiled at my achievement.
"What secrets?" Someone said jokingly from behind me.
I spun around, ready to face Ari, or another eraser. But I relaxed when I just saw Sam. He walked over and wrapped his arms around me from behind.
"How long have you been standing there?" I asked warily.
"Long enough to figure out that you're a wonderful singer." He replied.
"Thanks," I blushed. "But why didn't you come out here then?"
"Well, I didn't want to interrupt you, you're just…amazing!" He exclaimed.
Blushing again, I brought myself back into reality. I then pulled away from Sam, feeling uncomfortable with my wings pressed up against him, because he didn't know about them yet.
A look of pain, confusion, and longing appeared on his face. "What's wrong? You seem uncomfortable…"
I desperately wanted to tell him everything. That's it! That's the one thing that I've been missing, the piece of my heard that I've been searching for. I just needed someone to talk to, to share all of my secrets. Someone who would understand and help me, instead of laughing at me or not believing me. There's only one person who's ever done that for me, who's ever been there…Fang…
Snapping out of my reverie, I simply told him, "Nothing, I'm fine."
He seemed reluctant to accept that answer but he just nodded and said ok. The he walked up to me, slowly, and pressed his lips to mine. My mind instantly traveled to Fang but somehow, this kiss was nothing like that, it didn't hold that spark. But, beside the moment, I kissed him back. A few shaky milliseconds later, he upped the passion, which he had never done before, but I guess he knew I could handle it.
My hands traveled up his chest and ran though his hair. His arms slid down my sides to the zipper of my windbreaker. He slid it up, and then grabbed the edges. He began to pull them off my shoulders. I slid my arms down his and captured his hands, helping him pull of my jacket.
It was when my wings had enough room to twitch that I was pulled to my senses (that and lack of breath) and I pulled away. I avoided his eyes, feeling awkward, and brought up the subject of our wedding, and how we still needed to plan. I could feel his questioning gaze on me but he muttered yeah and followed me out of the room.
After quite a few hours spent in strenuous magazine and address book flipping, we were able to pick out our caterer, pick our cake, planned out our guest list, and selected friends for the main positions in our wedding.
Maid of Honor- Ella
Bridesmaids- Monique, Elise (Sam's Bro's Wife)
Flowergirl- Ariel
Best Man- Ricky (Sam's best friend)
Ringbearer- Dylan
Groomsmen- Josh (Sam's bro), Louis (Sam's friend)
Sighing, I dropped my 'Martha Stewart Weddings' magazine and stood. I groaned as my knees popped and my muscles flexed.
"I'm going to take a walk… be back later." I didn't wait for a response; I just walked outside and into the small patch of trees nearby. Being sure not to catch any trees, I released my wings. Once again, I groaned as they stretched and popped. It had been a long time since I had been able to get away like this. Jumping into the air, I flapped once…twice…three times…and then I was in the sky, soaring away from the place that I damned myself to for the rest of my life…or existence. I still wasn't sure of my expiration date.
As I flew, I couldn't help but let my mind wander to Fang and my flock. I couldn't help but think about how it would be if the flock hadn't found their parents, and we'd stayed together. How it would be like if I hadn't gone to live with Dr. Martinez and Ella. How it would be if I hadn't agreed to that second (A/N-technically, since the first was in the second book) date with Sam. Why did I say yes when he popped the question? Was I too surprised to think? Was it the fact that it was in-front of his entire family on Christmas Eve? Or was it because I had pictured him as Fang in that one brief second?
How did I get myself into all of this?
A/N Well, I am very very very sorry that I haven't updated before now. I am actually starting another totally awesome story of which I will not reveal right now as well as a regular fiction story that is to be a 'future novel'. Or so says my mom, lolz!
