Chapter 5

Fang POV

It's been almost a year since I left Max. I told her I was leaving her for her twin Mel. It was a lie. I love Max so much, I left to protect her.

I check up on her every once and a while. Latley I just couldn't. I miss her so much, and I know that I've hurt her. Even if I did go back nothing would be the same.

I work for the school now. Jeb agreed to leave Max and the rest of the flock alone if I joined them, so I did.

I make sure she's safe as well as the rest of the flock.

The white coats study me, make me run through mazes, have me do tests, inject me with needles, etc.

I've grown used to the pain that goes on here, but nothing compares to the pain I feel everyday know that I left the girl I love. I go though all of this for her.

On the plus side I get an actual room with a bed instead of a small dog crate. It has a TV and Xbox in it, also a nice stereo system. Latley my favorite song has been My Immortal by Evanescence. It reminds me of Max.

After I left, the rest of the flock fell apart. Nudge just gave up on everything and became depressed, then decided to go live with her real parents. After Nudge gave up, Iggy thought he might as well go too. He's in love with Nudge. We used to talk about how he was going to make his move on her, it was never a serious conversation but we all knew he liked her. As for Gazzy he went with Iggy. And Total, he didn't want to be living with just Angel and Max so he just took off and no one saw him after that.

It was all my fault, if I hadn't left in the first place we would all probably be together. Then again we would still be bothered by the school.

That's why I'm here now, at the school. I may have sounded like I've given up, but I have a plan. I'm going to figure out how to take down the school from the inside out.

What the white coats and Jeb don't know it that while their busy doing tests on me and all of that bullshit. I look at the papers they have laying around and memorize maps, names, locations, etc. It takes a long time to memorize everything perfectly.

I've learned how to swallow my emotions so that the white coats think im completely depressed. They stopped watching me so carfully.

When I'm done taking out the school I'm going to try to get the flock back together. I don't expect them to forgive me exspecially Max, but I'm not giving up now when I'm so close.

I'm going to get the flock back and my precious Max back no matter what.

Max POV

"Dear Max,

I'm sorry for having to hurt you, but I have to go. It's for the best. We arn't right for eachother. I love your twin Mel. I'm going far away with her, don't come looking for us beacuase you won't find will be long gone by the time you read this. I know I've hurt you Max and for that I will never forgive myself. I don't expect you to ever forgive me, but you'll see why this is best when the time comes. Keep an eye on the flock for me. You'll all be in my heart forever.

~Fang"

Fangs voice just kept on repeating the letter he had left when he disapeared.

I opened my eyes fast, they were damp. Had I been crying in my sleep? I hoped no one noticed.

I could smell bacon and eggs. I got up and walked into the kitchen. Angel and Jacob were sitting at the table. There were eggs, bacon, and sausage sitting on three different plates in the middle of the table.

"Have a seat I just finished making everything." Jacob said smiling. I sat down next to Angel. "Morning Max." She said. I smiled at her. Over the years of having to deal with a young mind reader like Angel, Fang and I figured out how to block her from our thoughts when we wanted to. I put my mind blocks up.

I couldn't get Fang out of my head, no need for her to worry. Jacob was in my head too. I don't know why but he was. I sighed.

"Earth to Max, hello?" Angel said snapping her fingers infront of my face. I must have been staring into space. I looked at her. "What's up?" I said. "Are you alright?" Jacob said with worry in his voice.

"Yeah I'm fine sorry, just tired." I said forcing a smile. Jacob smirked back, and Angel glared. She knew somthing was up since she couldn't read my thoughts. I stuck my tongue out at her. She grinned.

"So there's going to be a bond fire tonight. Do you guys want to come?" Jacob asked. "Oh yes! Max can we please go?" Angel said excited. Jacob smiled, then looked at me for an answer.

"Fine, but no funny business okay?" I said meaning no controlling minds. She knew exactly what I ment. "Yay! Thank you Max! May I go take a shower?" She asked politely. We both looked over at Jacob. We were still guests at his home.

"Up the stairs and to the left", He said smiling. Angel smiled back and headed up the stairs.

"So what's this whole imprinting thing?" I said crossing my arms. Jacob froze. I had caught him off guard.

"Um well." He paused. "It's hard to explain." He said. "Oh." Was all I managed to say. "My friend Paul imprinted on Angel, he's going to be at the bond fire tonight." He said unsure of what my reaction was going to be.

I didn't know what to say. I just sat there saying nothing as he cleared the plates from the table.

"I'll help." I said getting up grabbing my plate. I hadden't realized where I was going. I bumped right into Jacob. The plate I was holding slipped out of my hand, and landed on the floor then shattered.

"Oh I'm so sorry." I said. I started picking up pieces of glass. Jacob laughed, and went to go get the broom. He sweeped up the rest of the mess.

"Are you always this clumsy?" Jacob said smirking. I crossed my arms and glared at him. "Relax I'm just kidding." He said still smirking. I stuck my tongue out at him. He did the same.

"Maaaaax will you bring me a towl please?" Angel yelled from the bathroom. I looked at Jacob. He smirked. "Up stairs hall closet." he said as sweeped up the rest of the glass.

"Again sorry about that." I said. "Don't worry about it." He said.

Ok i really hate how this stretches out on here! Ugh! Oh well haha tell me what you think =3 R&R please.
