Chapter 2

I heard a knock on my door. "Go away!" I threw a pillow at the door. Did it matter though? Well he opened the door the same time the I threw the pillow and it hit him in the face.

"What is your problem?" Fang said.

"Oh I don't know give me a moment please." I got up and grabbed the pillow flung myself back down on my bed and screamed into it again. I looked back up at him with a glare. "You are my problem. Why are you even here?"

I could hear his teeth grind together. "Forget it Max." He started to walk out. Lucky him that I wasn't in a forgetting mood.

"Fang. Tell. Me. Now." I spoke one word at a time fighting the urge to punch him in the face.

"No." He walked out the door and back to the living room. I heard my favorite person ask him what was wrong. Oh and here is the best part he talked back! Since when does he talk?! I jumped up from my bed and went to go find the flock.

"Iggy, Gazzy, Nudge Angel, Total." I hit every door in the hallway. "Lets go everybody flock meeting." I walked into the living room to see Lissa sitting on the coach looking puzzled at Fang hitting the wall. "Hey! Just because I pissed you off doesn't mean you can destroy the house!"

He froze and turned toward me again. To be honest I thought he was going to screaming at me. "Fang? Why are you mad?" Lissa asked. He just looked at her and shook his head. She looked bewildered because he wasn't talking. I stifled a laugh, he (of course) glared at me. I smiled back sweetly.

"I need you two to leave now." I said. Lissa looked at me questioningly. Fang kicked the wall one more time and stalked out of the house and took off. Lissa ran off after him and unfurled tan and black wings. She jumped after him. I gritted my teeth realizing I knew her.

"So are you going to get rid of them?" Iggy asked.

"Shut up Iggy. That isn't what this is about." I looked at Angel. "Where did she come from?"

"I don't know. She's blocking me out." I started laughing of course. I was the only one who recognized her. Her name wasn't Lissa it was Brigid! Angel looked at me bewildered, recognition crossed her face. "But how?! It isn't possible!"

"Well it must be if that's her." I kicked the same wall Fang was kicking and I heard wood crack. "Well that is two problems now." I sighed. I heard Nudge laugh slightly. I looked at her and she pointed to the door way. Fang and Dylan were yelling at each other, and the best part was Fang was turning red.

"Out of deep concern for DYLAN we will go watch what is going on." Everyone ran outside on the deck. Me well of course I had to get up close and personal. I jumped right off the deck and walked closer.

"You know what Dylan shut it! I don't give a crap what you think!" Fang shouted.

With a cool face Dylan smirked at Fang. "You may not care what I think, but you care what Max thinks." Fang froze and snapped. I have known Fang for ever and he has never snapped. But he lunged at Dylan, he tried punching him in the jaw. I took a step closer. "Its okay Max. Just trying to make him see reality. He isn't taking it so well though."

"Reality?! Your trying to make me see reality?! What fucking planet do you live on!" Fang side kicked Dylan in the head. He went flying and hit a tree. Fang was breathing heavy and I could tell that he was fighting with himself on the inside.

"You need to chill out!" I slapped Fang across the face and ran over to make sure Dylan was alright. Max, Fang was telling Brigid that she should probably go back to the others and Dylan told him that he needed to go with her. Angel told me. I slapped Dylan across the face to when I saw that he was awake and just had the wind knocked out of him. "And when are you going to learn I can take care of myself?!"

"You totally looked like you could take care of your self this morning Max." Dylan glared back at me. "When are you going to admit it?"

"As long as I live I will not admit it to myself! Quite telling me that I need to get over Fang! Is he dead? No. Did he tell me that he never ever wanted to see me again?" My voice kept getting louder and louder.

"No." I saw Dylan shutter as I kicked him in the shin hard. I walked away like the mature 15 year old I was after that. Oh did I mention Fang and the whole flock watched that whole thing?

"Max!" I heard Nudge and Angel run after me screaming my name wanting to know what I was talking about.

"I want some time alone please." I said as I jumped off the side of the cliff. I unfurled my wings and went into over drive at least that way I knew they couldn't catch up to me if they followed. Did that help? Of course not because I looked back and could see a black shape flying behind me anyways. "Butthead." I muttered.

I landed in a tree near the base I sat down and watched Fang fly to the same branch and land making the tree shake. "What were you talking about?" He asked staying near the edge. Smart choice.

"I am not going to tell you anything." I looked away from him so I wouldn't just shout it out to him how Dylan kept getting closer and closer and I wanted Fang not him. "Besides why do you care?"

For the second time in a life time I saw his mask falter and I saw he was hurt. And just like that it was back in place. "Maximum Ride you are becoming a real pain in the ass real fast." I could hear his teeth grinding together. "You know your going to break down and tell me anyways, so just say it."

My head shook and I set my lips together hard. I starred back him and thought about how much I wanted to kiss him. "Why did you come back?" I whispered. "Why didn't you just stay away like you made it clear in your letter that you wanted me to? Why didn't you say something to me? I used to tell you everything."

"No you don't Max. What about Dylan being made to be your perfect other half? You never told me anything about that." Fang stepped closer. I pressed myself against the tree as though my life depended on it.

I could feel a rain drop fall on my cheek. "I didn't want to believe it Fang. And I already knew who my perfect other half was stupid." I glared at him like he was the big dummy that he was. His face softened and he closed the distance between us easily. He swept me up in his arms and hugged me so hard I couldn't breath. "Air- necessary- to- live." I gasped, not that he loosened his grip on me.

"Love you to Max." He whispered in my ear. He let me go slowly. "Now about Lissa…"

"What shes lied about her whole name and what not?" I glared at him. Joy-killer anyways.

"Wha-" His face looked at me shooked. "Ugh no she is not Brigid but…. Well shes Brigids little sister…" He looked away from me.
