Ok so I have to tell you all that you probably won't like this chapter... sorry...

FPOV

I had to stop at an intersection close to the hospital, and I looked over at Max where she lay in my car. I stroked her cheek lightly feeling her cool skin. She didn't move under my touch which worried me. The cuts all over her body made me question what the hell was going on in that house.

"Pleas be okay, my angel. I need you here next to me."

The light turned green and I sped the few blocks to the hospital. I easily pulled into one of the parking spaces that were in front that were only for fifteen minutes. Jumping out of the car I ran around to the other side. A few girls around that were most likely going to visit relatives started getting excited, but I made sure not to let their squealing voices get to me. I pulled Max out of the car, and started running into the building. People easily parted when they saw the girl in my arms and let me get to the counter. I didn't have to wait long for someone to talk to me since there was at least one person that was always on stand by. I didn't really even take in what the person looked like and just started talking.

"I found her today, she has lost a lot of blood and won't wake up."

"Alright, we will take it over from here, can you please wait for her. I know you don't want to leave her but we will take care of her I promise." a feminine voice told me. I nodded as a gurney was rolled underneath her, I placed her down slowly.

I pecked her on the forehead and watched her go. The nurse pulled me aside to ask me more questions.

"Is she your girlfriend?" she asked sweetly trying to make me feel calm.

"Yeah."

"And what is your name, sir?"

Seriously? I guess some people don't get into the whole music thing anymore. "I'm Nick Walker." when I said my name she looked up from her clip board, and stared.

"Really?" I nodded, "Oh... My little sister listens to your music... sorry I didn't recognize."

"That's alright... but ah..."

"Oh, Right! Now..." she looked down at her clip board.

DPOV

It was about five and I was eating dinner with my family when I got a call on my cell. It was Fang and I excused myself from the table before answering.

"Hey, man what's up? Find Max?" I had known that he had gone to her house to find her. I had offered to go with him, but it was obvious that he wanted to see her alone.

Fang's voice was kinda shaky when he responded, which made me worry since this guy was a pro at hiding emotion form so many years of being chased by girls.

"Dylan, I need you to come down to the hospital. Bring the others. I'll explain when you all get here."

I paused for a moment a little shocked.

"Alright man, leave it to me."

IPOV

I was just starting the thirteenth memory sequence of Assassin's Creed II for the third time through when my cellphone went off to the song To save a Life by the Fray. (A/N:: I love this song... have known it since I was little ^_^). I paused the game when I had gotten Ezio to a safe place where he would not be seen by the guards. I picked up the phone and leaned back in my swivel chair.

"Hey-o."

"Hey man, Fang just called me and we gotta go to the hospital. He didn't say why but will explain when we get there. I'll be by your house in ten minutes, I gotta get Nudge first." my eyes were wide by the end. I had known the Ride family for so long that I knew that it was Max who was in trouble.

"Yeah man. I'll be here."

We said our goodbyes and I jumped up from my seat. I looked over to my sister Maria who was playing Minecraft with her friends online.

"Maria, I gotta go to the hospital, tell mom and dad when they get home and keep an eye on Jack."

"Alright." she said half absent mindedly, but I knew she had heard, she always did.

(A/N:: Yes for those faithful followers Maria is my OC from my other Fic about Max ^_^ and for those who don't know that is why I put that name there.)

NPOV

I was in my room watching the one show that I would never admit to anyone that I watched. It was my obsession.

In my point of view the best part of one arc of the storyline had just happened. After all Rose had just slammed her face into the Doctor's doppelgänger face. Teehee.

Anyway my phone went off just as the Tardis disappeared into the time vortex again. I picked up my phone and wiped away my misty eyes.

"Hello? This is Nudge Walker."

"Hey Nudge, your brother is at the hospital and I am coming to pick you up to go see what is going on. Before you start he said everything would be explained when we get there. I'll be there in five minutes."

I was a little shocked but I told Dylan- I could tell by his voice- okay and went to go get Jake.

FPOV

The others arrived around half past five. I, unfortunately, was not siting alone in my corner of the waiting room and the two girls who had decided to invade my personal space were starting to piss me off. They were both probably whores. They were dressed with the skimpiest clothes I have ever seen. Like as in they barely covered their... parts... and I was ready to just go wait in the men's bathroom thought that may not stop these girls...

When they came in thankfully Jake got them to go away with his scary awesomeness. Like he was awesome but he was scary all at the same time... anyway... they all demanded that I explain why they were here and they needed to know where Max was.

So I told them, and I was not easy on the edges... at all.

"So, basically, you found Max in her bedroom half dead?" Jake said not cutting the edges at all either. I hung my head resting my elbows on my knees and my fingers interlaced. I let my mask slip since my hair would hide my face in this position.

"Yeah." I said, regaining my composure. "I still gotta go pick up Angel though."

"I'll go with you." Iggy said from his spot behind Nudge. "I know Angel, she and Ella used to hand out all the time when Victoria was still married to Jeb."

I silently applauded Iggy in my mind because his voice no longer faltered when he said Ella's name. I agreed and we started to go.

Just as the doctor came out of the hallway looking for us.

"Are you Maximum Ride's boyfriend?" he asked me.

"Yeah that's me."

"Well I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

"Bad news." we all said together. Then we all looked at each other and smiled. Then right back to the situation at hand.

"Alright," he began, then he paused, looking at all of our worried faces.

"I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry..." he finally said.

Dun dun duuuuun!

R&R to see how Max is!

Otherwise I will never tell! Mwahahaha... anyway...

RozaCourt:: I'm glad you noticed! This story line came to mind when after I watched the last part of Once Upon a Song, but as you can hopefully tell it is a bit different and has a little bit of a darker part to it.

Loved last chapter thank you for reviewing! You and all of the people that review really let me know that I am doing a great job! ^_^

Fly on,
