Max POV (Finally!)

After Derek left, the Cullens informed the Wolves about what was going on. Alice's vision and all that. Afterwards –and during the story- they'd shot me pitiful and scared glances. I discarded them, but wasn't happy that people didn't trust me to be able to take care of the mess by myself.

"Its fine," I sighed. "I know what's going to happen. I know how to solve this stupid problem. People tell me I'm going to die all the time. I just try to make their job a heck of a lot harder."

No one looked like they believed me. Crap.

"What?" I asked irritatedly.

"How do you prepose to do that, Max?" Carlisle asked softly.

I grinned. "I don't die."

When they looked at me surprisedly, I shook my head.

"No- not like that. I just mean me dying is like Fang dressing in a pink tutu." I chuckled. "It just won't happen. I can't die. I don't die. Dying isn't on my list of things to do. On that list is shut down Itex for good, find my dad and have a very, um, colorful-worded talk with him, and then hunker down somewhere –preferrably here- until they reform or something, find me, and try to take me down. That is my schedule. Me dying isn't in it, therefore I won't allow it to happen. Got it?"

They all stared at me like dumbfounded idiots.

I shrugged and looked out the window as one name blurred my other incoherent thoughts.

Derek.

I'd seen him before. In one of my brain attacks or something. I know I saw him before. Because before we got to Emily's house, I knew he would look exactly like that, I knew he would sound exactly like that. I knew. Somehow, I knew him. I trusted him. He said he was from the school too. That meant he also knew about us. That meant he knew us. He knew we had wings, he knew. Somehow, I knew he knew us, and trusted us all the same.

I was confused, though. Why did I get all girly and blushy when he was here? It's not like I just like anyone I meet. I rarely even like –friend wise- people I newly meet. I am theopposite of an open book. I'm like a locked up diary or something. Weird comparison but whatever. This guy –Derek- wasn't normal to me. He was unique... I know, I know, "cheesy little Max". But seriously. You've got to meet this kid! He's unlike anything you ever meet. Anything you will ever meet. Ever.

I decided to throw this thinking into the wind and turn my attention back to the present. Everyone had fled to the kitchen and begun to eat Emily's cookies –you have no idea how many she made- and Fang came up to me. We were all alone in the living room, and I got a bad feeling in the pit of my gut.

"Hey," He said bluntly.

"What?" I snapped. "What do you want?"

He shrugged. "Nothing, really."

"Then why are you talking to me?"

"I dunno."

I groaned in frustration. "Then go eat cookies like everyone else!"

"You aren't eating one."

"So?"

"So why do I have to?"

"Because I said so!"

"So?"

"Ugh!" I stood up abruptly and narrowed my eyes at his innocent, not-really-caring expression. "What is it with you? What's you're problem?"

He shrugged. "Not all that sure."

"Then go find out! Can't you see I'm thinking? A deep thought that cannot afford to be inturrupted, thank you very much."

"Sorry." He shrugged.

I rolled my eyes and threw up a hand. "Whatever."

"What's that mean?"

I shot a glare at him and he sighed.

"I'm sorry, Max." He murmured. "I just want to ask something, okay?"

I hesitated reluctantly, but nodded at him with hostility.

He looked me dead in the eyes and I couldn't move. His black orbs had paralyzed me.

"Max, do you know Derek? From somewhere else?"

I blinked. "Why would you need –want- to know that?"

He sighed with a tint of annoyance. "Just answer the question, Max."

I narrowed my eyes. "No. I will not 'just answer the question', Fang. Tell me why you want to know the answeres to those questions!"

He grunted in irritation and grabbed my shoulders. He brought his face close to mine, noses almost touching, and murmured frustratedly, "Why do you want to know so badly?"

My face was burning and I spoke in a shakey voice, "Because I do."

He rolled his eyes and sighed. "Fine. I'll tell you."

I raised and eyebrow and he spoke, taking my breath away with the words that escaped his lips.

"I was jealous."

Yay! Fax! Don't worry, this isn't that cheesy "Max, I love you" "Oh, Fang! I love you, too!"

Considering what's going to happen next, this cliffhanger should be ruining you're life right now. Yep, that's right, EVIL! Muah, Ha ha ha haha hahahahahahahahahah!

Ahem, anyway, I must say, I stole something from one of my commenters. Yes. Stole. Bookits said this:

"Max," Alice whispered. "You're going to die!"

Max: *snorts* Yeah, I know I'm going to die, we all die at some point in life.

Alice: No! I mean die as in murdered!

Max: Well, that's interest, guess my past finally gets me, I've known that for a while.

Edward: Max, what do you mean by "I've known that for a while." Have you given up hope?

Max: Yes I have, the School is going to be the one to Take me out of the picture, I'm just trying to make their job a heck of a lot harder. And I just like to tick them off. And by not letting them kill me, well, my job has succeeded so far.

Eward: ...

Alice: ...

Carlisle: uh...

Me: Yep Max is AWESOME!!

I took the whole "I'm just trying to make their job a heck of a lot harder" part, and wanted to thank Bookits!

So.....

THANK YOU BOOKITS!! :)

I hope she doesn't mind me stealing from her Review... but I laughed when I read it, so I thought "I'm 'onna add that!" and I did, so... Thanks again, Bookits! Let me know if it bugs you that I used it, and I'll quickly resolve the issue.

On the other hand, check out my other stories, too! I've made some for Ouran High School Host Club (Never been an anime freak, but I thought this was just a hilarious one!); Kingdom Hearts (Just to warn you, some people told me Roxas was a little AU or OOC, so beware. xD); More Maximum Ride (I'm proud of those and people have told me they are good! Yaaaay!); and Twilight. (But that's just Max Can Never Get A Break and this one, so don't go rusing to look for an all Twilight fan fic)

Oh! And also one for Harry Potter, but that's a Maximum Ride and Harry Potter fanfic that takes place in Marauder era (Remus, Sirius, James, and Peter's Hogwarts years. When they were, y'know, young)

So.... Anyway, hope you loved this chapter and this is probably the most you will ever read of my foot notes. :)
