Don't take the girl by Tim McGraw:

Max is fighting for her life and Fang is flashing back. What will happen? Read to find out.

Fang's POV

I was on my knees, praying that Max be spared, when I flashed back 15 years; to when I was 10.

Jeb was taking Iggy, Gazzy and I fishing for the first time. He left Max in charge of the girls, knowing she was capable of handling them. But Max insisted that we all go. She called Jeb sexist and a bad father. He reluctantly gave in and let the girls come.

He was leading the way, me right by his side. The other 5 were a little farther behind, but not too much.

I took the opportunity to speak my mind.

"Why do the girls have to come?" I asked; my no nonsense tone was effective even back then.

"I couldn't say no to her. She's just so determined." He smiled, continuing. "I know you don't want them here, but you'll see how much fun the girls really can be." He walked ahead.

"Jeb!" I shouted after him, "You didn't answer my question! Now tell my why!" No answer whatsoever. 'Bastard' I thought sourly, catching up to him.

Tears flowed as I thought back on it. I was such a jerk.

There was no stopping the next flash back; this one just 5 years ago.

Max and I were on an official date. I held her tight and kissed her, feeling pure bliss.

A stranger came by and pulled out a gun. He grabbed Max and claimed that if I did as he asked, there wouldn't be any harm. I knew perfectly well that she could take him down, possibly kill him. But I didn't want to take such a chance. As Gazzy once said, we're not bullet proof. I looked into Max's eyes, and she instantly understood what I wanted. She was hesitant, but stayed put.

I said to the man, "Take the money in my wallet. Take my gold watch. Here's the keys to our car, take it for a spin. Just please, spare the girl." The stranger willingly let Max out of his grasp, and away from gun point, taking what I offered.

Dr. Martinez's voice brought me back to the present. I quickly look back just 12 hours ago.

We were with the flock, when Max started screaming in pain. I looked her in the eyes and knew that it was time. Our baby was coming.

I was listening to Dr. Martinez the whole time. She said the baby is fine, but Max is fading fast. I slowly shrunk to my knees.

"Take the breath you gave me. Rip my heart from my chest; I'll gladly take her place. Make this my last request. Take me instead of Max. Please, don't kill the girl." I prayed once again, with no prevail. Max was gone.
