Okay so it's my freshman year, please don't kill me. (: I'm so terribly sorry that it took me this long to write, major writer's block! HATE WRITER'S BLOCK. Gahhh. Anyways, you guys are just so entirely amazing, really you are, I wouldn't be so encouraged without you guys, and I really do PROMISE to write more and get this story finished, maybe even a sequel? I'll have a pole on my profile for who wants a sequel! Sorry for the long A/N, off with their heads…oh, I mean…on with the story! (:

oh yeah, and by the way, the song that goes with this chapter is called stronger by kanye west (: REVIEW!

Alexa's POV

That's when I heard the bone chilling scream. It didn't take me long to react. My feet found their own way of working and before I could even comprehend what was happening I was at the front door, slamming it open. What I didn't expect was what I found.

Emerson sat in the corner, an annoyed expression grazing his lifeless face. Nate hade Monique in a chokehold, Matt was laughing on the couch, and it looked like a tornado had hit. Basically, it was more than I could take.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE!?!?" I screamed, anger swelling inside of me like something was ready to burst, oh and it burst all right.

"Hey, watch your mouth," Nate snapped, a glare penetrating his gloomy face. By the looks of it, Monique and he had been going at it, again. I had to play doctor every time Matt, Monique, or Nate were hurt, but not Emerson, who used to be the amazing doctor, he just sat on his lazy butt and sulked. It took a whole lot to get him up besides work.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS? HUH? EVERY SAME FREIKING DAY OF THE YEAR YOU ACT LIKE COMPLETE ANIMALS! I'M SO FREIKING TIRED OF IT TOO! SHE'S NOT COMING BACK, IN FACT, JUST FORGET HER, WE ALL SHOULD HATE HER FOR WHAT SHE'S DONE TO US!," hot tears ran down my flushed cheeks, and the emotional atmosphere completely changed from anger to sorrow.

"We all loved her, and we'll all have to deal with it…together, because we should love each other now, I thought that's what a family was? People who could love each other even when they got on each other's nerves? I know we aren't normal, and I know we've been through hell, but I thought that we're stronger than anyone, and you know what we used to love each other more than anything, and Love just makes a person stronger. So shouldn't we be the strongest? Strong enough to hold tight and forgive our selves for what we've done for the last ten years. When it all comes down to it, I love you guys, and it hurts me to see everyone fight." Tears welled up in everyone's eyes at the end of my speech, and I broke down sobbing.

"Angel, I had no idea…" Nate looked at me, amazed, and I ran into his arms and just cried.

"I love you Fang, I love you so much, everything I am is because of you," we sat there together, and I'm pretty sure that was the second time I've ever seen fang cry, this time it wasn't out of hate, it was out of love.

A few hours later, the flock sat on the warm brown couch, huddled together under a fleece blanket. Me and nudge both sat with our head's rested on Fang's shoulder and Iggy sat on the other side of nudge, where as gazzy fell asleep in my lap. I missed my brother.

We had ordered six pizzas, one for each of us. I'm always hungry after school, what? A girl can't consume at least five thousand calories right then and there! All though we don't eat nearly as much as we used to. That's because we don't fly anymore. God I missed flying so much, it hurt just to think about it. Sometimes I checked to see if my pure white feathery wings were still there. You know how you get growing pains? Well so do I, in my wings! They were now exactly a fourteen foot wingspan! Just like max's at this age. Max…ughh…why do I keep thinking of her?

Just then the door bell rang, but I didn't' want to wake gazzy up, I managed to get up without moving him, and found my way to the door. I opened it up to find Madison standing in the door way.

"Can we talk?"

Haha evil cliffy! (: muhahahahaha sorry it was really short!
