Max Pov

I ran without looking back, I eventually found a taxi. I had to sneak in our apartment window to my room so that Bridget wouldn't see me. The last thing I want her to do is worry. I climbed into my bed, wet, tired, cold, and burdened.

The day's events rushed back to me.

I kissed Sam, but then I found out I got used.

I ran into rapists in a dark alley, as cliché as that sounds.

I was almost rapped.

And the scariest emo kid I had ever seen kissed me too. Somehow he knows my name, I hope I never have to see him or his friends every again. They were monsters, all of them, beating that man mercilessly.

By the time I was deep enough to fall asleep, three things came to my mind, the Dark haired boys kiss, and Sam's kiss and Light one's eyes…

I fell into a deep dreamless sleep.

THE NEXT MORNING

Today is a special day. It's my birthday! I'm turning 16, and plus its Friday so no home school classes. When I first got the job at Starbucks, I requested to have a full day on Friday's…to see Sam. Now I wanted to stay home and cry.

I slid out of bed and started to get dressed, I woke up late and my shift starts in a half an hour. I slide my tank top and skirt off from yesterday, I forgot to change out of them. After a quick shower, I put on my favorite black sundress; it was simple black and flowed gracefully. My hair was straightened again from my shower. My wings were really starting to cramp, but I ignored them. (An: Link to dress is on my home page, again, Max is not a slut!)

I walked down stairs and into the kitchen to get breakfast.

"SURPRISE!" Bridget screamed. I smiled at her delighted face. She had the entire room decorated in pink, one of my favorite colors. She had one of those cookie pizzas' from Nestle Café. I walked over to give her a hug.

"Happy 16th birthday," She whispered into my ear.

"Thanks Bridget!" I told her, and then I went straight for the cookies. One thing you should know about me, I LOVE COOKIES! I eagerly grabbed the knife and dug into the cookie. But I stopped mid bite. "Oops sorry Bridget. I'm being rude aren't I?" I blushed and quickly cut out a piece for her.

"Not at all, it's your Birthday. Now hurry up you're going to be late," Bridget said as she packed her things. 'shoot' I grabbed as much of the cookie cake as I could and ran out the front door. I was trying my best to forget about yesterday's events. Like how that dark-haired boy knew my name, or why that Strawberry blond was staring straight into my eyes. Which turned out to be easier than I thought. I spent most of my day, avoiding Sam, to ashamed to show my face.

The thing I loved the most about our Café is that it's like a little cove. Where people come to read or relax; while there's live performers in the background, and people get served at their tables.

During my lunch break I walked into the Café's staff room. I felt someone grab my hand. I spun around.

"Max," It was Sam. "I'm sorry, J.J told me that you liked me, and I feel horrible for using you," I ignored him and pulled my hand out of his grip, he let me go and walked away. I silently started crying, just because I ignored him, didn't mean I wanted him to leave. God, I'm so stupid. Stupid wild uncontrollable emotions! I sat down at my favorite window booth and stared out as I ate my cookie.

"Sweetie, you're crying into your cookie," J.J pointed out, as she slid into my booth.

"I was wondering why it was so salty," I joked back to her pathetically. She chuckled and reached over to grab my hand and squeezed it.

"If it makes you feel any better, there are two hot guys over there checking you out," She giggled; I spun my head around slowly. Honestly, I was sick of guys. They are such pigs!

Oh no….

It was the two guys from the Alley, the light one and dark one, Fang. They also had the two deadly little girls and a blonde boy. They were staring straight at me.

I ducked my head and leaned over to J.J.

"I know those guys," I whispered.

She lifted her perfectly shaped eyebrow at me, intrigued, she let me continue. I explained to her of yesterday's events. I eyed them every so often; they were getting a booth at the other end of the Café. Oh shoot, those were the tables that I waiter!

"Oh sweetie, I am so sorry, if those boys cause you any trouble I will call the police." J.J said sympathetically.

"J.J, please don't! I don't Bridget to get worried!"

"All right fine, but if things do get out of hand I will call them!" She threatened.

"Fine," I gave in.

"Max, I hate to break this to you, but breaks over kid," She smirked and walked away, her six inch stiletto's clicking as she walked. I sighed and devoured the last bit of my cookie. I reluctantly put on my apron back on.

Jason (Who waited my tables while I was on break) walked in.

"Hey Max, table 5 is ready to order," He smiled at me brightly, as if he was hiding something. Jason was a good friend to me, and I'm pretty sure he and J.J had a thing. Jason's dad also owned this Café so he was like a manger of this place while his father was away. I peeked out of the staff room. Oh no, table 5 is the one with the kids from the alley.

Maybe if I pretend I don't remember them they won't try anything.

Fang Pov.

YESTERDAY…

Oh dear god! I forgot what it was like to have Max's lips undermine. They tasted like vanilla, I wanted to deepen the kiss, but she kneed me in the….err soft spot.

"FANG!" I heard the Flock scream as Max kicked me. I felt Iggy's hands pulling me off Max. I opened my eyes to see her face, she was crying hard and her body was trembling all over.

"YOUR MOSTERS ALL OF YOU!" Max screamed and took off running. I tried to chase after her but Iggy held me back. I grabbed him by his collar and yanked his face close to mine.

"What the hell Iggy?" I screamed viscously at him.

"What's your problem Fang? Max nearly got raped and you kissed her! Have you forgotten that she doesn't remember us?"He screamed back, and then he gave me an indignant huff and pried my fingers of his collar.

"He's right, Fang, she was terrified. She's not used to seeing violence anymore," Angel told us.

"What else was Max thinking?" Gazzy asked.

"Well…hmm…she thought something like 'I have thing for blonde hair and blue eyes,'-" Iggy blushed brilliantly as we all turned our heads to him, I felt something boiling under my skin. Jealousy…. "She was thinking that Nudge and I were too little of girls to be fighting and she was mostly scared for our sake," Oh what so, I'm not good enough to think about? Angel threw an amused smile at me; then she burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" Nudge asked, wow that's the shortest sentence she said in a while. Angel leaned over and whispered into Nudges ears, Iggy, Gazzy and I watched in wonder. Nudges eyes flew to me and she started laughing as hard as Angel.

"What the hel-ck is so funny?" Gazzy asked. I threw him a look. He shrugged it off.

"Max…was…terrified…of ….FANG!" They laughed harder. Gazzy started out chuckling and then went into a full blown fit of laughter. Iggy laughed light heartedly at them. I raised an eyebrow at them.

"Max…is…scared of me?" I asked them, there kidding right. Thee Maximum Ride is scared of me? I never thought I'd live to see the day! I mean the idea of it was just too ridiculous!

"More liked terrified!" Angel laughed. I rolled my eyes at them, and let them continue to laugh.

"What are we going to do with the body?" I asked Iggy, who was checking for a pulse.

"He's still alive," He said and paused, "If we leave him here, then he probably will still do this to women, I suggest we call the police and run away before that get here," Wow, who knew Iggy had a brain?

"Hey!" Iggy whined! "I heard that!" Ah yes, good old whining Iggy. I didn't even realize I said that out loud.

"Good," I told him. He smirked at me; we did a fist pound and started to walk out of the alley.

"What about Max? How are we going to find her again? I mean we literally found her in the middle of nowhere. That is if you consider a dark alley nowhere! There are millions of people in New York City, how are going to ever find her again? It's not like we can sit around and hope for Max to get into trouble again so we can save her or something-"Gazzy slapped his hand over her mouth. We all rolled our eyes at her; Nudge stuck her tongue out in response.

"Angel, why are you so quiet?" Gazzy asked her.

"Max called us monster….are we?" Angel whispered, close to tears. God these kids must be bi-polar. I tear dripped out of Angel's eyes. Crap I'm so not good with these kinds of emotions. I wiped away her tear, and put my arm around her. She snuggled into me, sobbing quietly. Nudge placed her hand on Angels shoulder. (A/N Angel is seven and Fang is 14. I refuse to do Fangel! So don't worry about it cuz it aint happening, this is a brother sister moment!)

"She was scared of us Angel, I don't think Max would ever really mean that," Nudge murmured to her. Nudge is really starting to grow up; I missed so much in all of their lives in the past six months. I never knew she could be so deep. Ugh, why do my thoughts keep getting sidetracked? I nodded at Angel, Nudge is right.

"But this is different!" Angel insisted. "That man was a real living being, with family and children somewhere in the world! Yes he was cruel, but unlike all those Erasers, we killed in the past, this man actually had a soul. We almost destroyed that!" She finished dramatically.

"We're not monsters Angel; think about Max's fate if we hadn't showed up? Think of all the other girls he could get to in the future." With that, I closed this conversation.

We got a hotel that night, I couldn't sleep though. I tossed and turned but the only thing I could think about was Max, I kissed her, and she pushed me away. God, I'm such an idiot, she was almost raped and I kissed her. Of course, she would freak. I guess I was hoping that if I kissed her, she'd remember us. I can't believe Max is scared of me; the thought brings a smile to my face. I wonder what happens if I sneak up on her and scream 'Boo!' not that I would ever do anything that immature. I'm Mr. Emotion-less Wall block, I don't get worked up over these kinds of things, but Max always had that kind of effect on me, bringing out the very emotions I wanted to bury.

Please come back Max, I miss you so much!

The next morning wasn't so much better. I didn't get much sleep the night before so Angel and Nudge started jumping on my bad screaming "FANG WAKE UP" at the top of their lungs. I sighed and chucked a pillow and chucked it at them, and turned over in my sleep.

"Ow," I heard Nudge mutter. I must have hit her. I muffled my laugh into the pillow under me.

"Fine, be that way," Angel snapped. The next thing I know, I'm being dragged out of my bed feet first.

"All right, all right, I'm a wake!" I yelled. I struggled to pry my eyes open. Someone threw a glass of water over my head.

"What the hell was that for?" I opened my eyes to see Iggy smirking with an empty glass in his hand. I smirked at him and tackled him to the ground. I had him pinned down in a matter of three minutes.

"Okay I give up! Now get off of me," Iggy yelled.

"Boys..." I heard Angel and Nudge say at the same time, and then start giggling.

"Hmm, I'd rather not; I think I'm enjoying this." I told him.

"Sorry Fnick, but I'm afraid I don't feel that way about you," Iggy smirked back. Did he just call me gay?

"PWNED," Gazzy shouted, I rolled my eyes and got off of Ig. Let me clear this up for you. IM NOT GAY! I dream of girls –ahem- Max at night.

"I'm not gay, Ig,"

"Whatever you say… Fnickles," Iggy said innocently, and walked away. Angel and Nudge laughed at me. I ignored them and slipped a shirt over my head.

"Fang, I think where done packing, can we go look for Max now?" Gazzy asked. I nodded at him.

"I think we should go to Starbucks!" Nudge shouted.

"Why," Ig asked appearing from nowhere.

"Because for one, I want breakfast, and two, Max smelled like coffee and cookies." Nudge pointed out.

"Mmm, wouldn't I love to have Mocha frappe," Total said as he happily trotted by. I gasped in terror.

"Don't even think about it! Total, Nudge and maybe Iggy, NO CAFFINE!" I yelled at them. I received a whole bunch of 'awws' I rolled my eyes.

"What time is it?" I asked Gaz, who happened to be the only one of us with a watch.

"11, you're as bad as Nudge, Fang!" I smiled and ruffled his head, Nudge huffed and walked away.

Five minutes later, we were all walking toward the nearest Starbucks. What I saw next shocked me.

It was Max….

I nudged Iggy, his eyes turned to see what I was staring at.

"Holy shit!" He said under his breath. Holy shit was right, Max was wearing a black sundress that flowed of her body like a waterfall showing her curves of perfectly and complementing her model like legs perfectly. She was the perfect shade of natural tan. Not the ugly orange or fake tan kind. Did I ever mention that black was my favorite color? I think my attire is proof of that.

"Hi, I'm Jason; can I direct you to your table?" Jason, our waiter said. Iggy and I, dazed, walked to our table. Max was whispering something to the girl across from her, who shooting murderous glares at us. I blushed and looked away. The kids seemed to be oblivious to Max being here. Ig and I slid into the same side where we could see Max, and Gazzy, Angel, and Nudge where in the opposite side.

"Guys don't freak out, but I see Max at 6 o'clock," Iggy said nonchalantly. He picked up a menu and hid behind it.

"ZOMG, Your right! She's right behind us! OMG She's wearing a dress, an actual dress. I never thought I'd live to see the day where Max would wear a dress without us forcing her to where it. What a cute dress, how she come gets to where things like that and doesn't let me where it? Oh, well. She looks so pretty! Look at those cute feathered earrings! When did Max get her ears pierced? I hope she lets me get mine done one day!"

"Nudge!" All of us whisper-shouted "Shut up!" Nudge buried her head in a menu.

I saw Max, smiling at that guy Jason. Does she like him? I swear this new Max is driving me crazy! I pretended to look away as Max walked up to us.

"Hi, My Name is Max, I'm going to be your waiter. Are you kids ready to order?"

We all stared at her, what the hell? Max was a waitress? Did she forget us? We only saw her yesterday. Nudge was about to speak up.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAX!" someone from behind her shouted. Max turned around, I peeked over to see the entire staff behind her. Max smiled at them brightly.

"Today's her birthday?" Gazzy asked. I shrugged, apparently it was.

"Hey everybody! Today is our good friend Max's 16th birthday." Jason, the guy from earlier said out to the other customers. The customer started cheering.

"Were having double chocolate chip cookies on the house in honor of her special day! It's my treat. IF-"He paused to look at Max. "If Max sings for us," Max's jaw dropped open. She looked like she wanted to run away, but another blonde boy had her rooted in place.

"SING. SING. SING. SING." The customers started cheering. The flock and I stared at Max. She struggled to get out of the boys grip and said "Please, don't touch me" to him. She stormed away from him, and he looked down sadly at his feet. I curled my fist, if Max didn't like this guy; I would gladly take him out for her. I could see Iggy tensing next to me, huh what's with him? Max sighed and walked up to the café's mini stage. She grabbed the guitar.

"You think she's really going to do it?" Angel asked.

"I don't know," I told her truthfully. Max put her fingers on the strings and started playing a song.

(A/n This song is called "Behind these Hazel eyes," By Kelly Clarkson Bold+ italics= Max's flashbacks)

Max Pov.

Why does Sam have to do things like that? Why can't he understand that I don't want to see him anymore? I know its selfish wish…but I just don't want to feel any more pain. I walked onto the stage and sang the first song that came to my mind.

Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothing' could go wrong

I was in some kind of subway station. My head was throbbing badly. His arms were holding me tightly; I swear the pain reduced by so much. He was stopping the pain. Who is he? I can't see his face?
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life

It was just the two of us; we were talking in my room. I was wrapped in towel and sitting on my bed extremely upset. He put his arms around me whispered into my ears. He kissed my forehead and walked away. I felt better already.

Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on

Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore...
Anymore...

His face showed behind my eyes. The dark-haired boy, sitting at my table. I stopped singing, everyone broke into applause. I smiled at them and walked away to the back room. Tears streamed silently out of my eyes. I felt someone wipe away my tears.

"Max, I'm sorry, please…give me another chance!" Sam pleaded. Ugh, I wasn't crying because of him!

"Sam, if I were good enough for you, you wouldn't have used me," I pointed out.

"You're more than enough and I'm sorry, but it's just…after I kissed you…I realized I wanted you not Lizzy." He admitted. I was shocked. He wanted me? I was nothing compared to Lizzy, she made me look like the nerdy girl next door kind of thing. "Max, I really like you, you're smart, you're funny, and you're sweet, kind and caring. I've never met anyone so down to earth in my life….Will you go on a date with me?"

"How do I know you won't go back to Lizzy again?"

"Trust me I won't, we broke up." He said sincerely.

"Okay," I told him. He smiled at me brightly.

"I'll pick you up at eight then, Oh and Max?" He asked

"Yeah?" he kissed my cheek softly.

"Happy birthday," He whispered in my ear.

"Awww, aint that the sweetest thing Jason," J.J said. Sam and I jumped apart, and blushed brilliantly. J.J hand her head on Jason shoulder, and her arms around his waist, he had one arm around her too.

"Sure is, Happy Birthday Max, I think you have a table waiting." He smiled at me and leaned down to kiss J.J's head. She giggled.

"Not bad Jason, looks like we both got our girls tonight" Sam said cockily.

"Score!" He bellowed out and high fived, J.J and I rolled our eyes and walked back to the customers.

Oh boy, it's time to face them…
