Fang: I wish I had an elephant.
Angel: Elephant!
Max: Guys, we're not getting an elephant!
Glimmer: I have an elephant!
Everyone: REALLY?
Glimmer: Nope.
Fang: Awwwww...
Angel: I better do the disclaimer: Glimmer269 does not own Maximum Ride.
Glimmer: Now to the story! Bahahahahahahahaha...
FANG POV
"Max, I know this looks bad but–"
"It looks bad because it is bad! You are about to beat up Iggy! Again! I can't believe you!"
"He was eavesdropping! I'm sure you would've done the same–"
"No, Fang. I would not have! You just... You just, make me so damn frustrated some times!"
Her face was getting redder and redder with every sentence. I could tell she wanted to rip my spine out and beat me with it. I looked over at Iggy, and he was smirking at me. That set me off, and I punched him as hard as I could, hearing a satisfying snap of bone. I let go of his shirt, letting him fall about a foot or so to the ground. He put his hand to his nose and swore at me. I could tell he wanted to, but didn't dare get up.
Max was screaming something at me, but her words went in one ear and out the other. I stood and looked at Iggy's sightless eyes for a second. He looked like he had already been crying before he came to listen to our conversation. That didn't sound like Iggy. Like me, he was pretty good at hiding his emotions and staying strong.
Soon I couldn't watch anymore, so I turned and walked away without a word. Max was already by Iggy's side, trying to stop the blood. What is me and Iggy's friendship coming to?
When I walked into the house, I got strange looks from the rest of the flock. I wondered why, and then I realized I was crying. Wait, what? I never cry. I can't start now. I'm not a cry baby. Now I've cried once already today, and that is a record for me.
Angel ran over to me, with tears in her eyes. Whenever anyone else in the flock cries, she cries without knowing what's wrong.
"Fang...?"
I knew I needed to not cry. For her. I was her 'older brother'. I needed to be an example and not cry. I knew she always looked up to me as a statue. Someone who holds all the emotions of everyone together by being steadfast.
I kneeled down to her height, and looked into her eyes for a minute. Trying to say that everything was going to be okay. The flock wasn't going to fall apart. But I just couldn't seem to find the right words.
"I know, Fang."
Oh yeah. I seem to have forgotten that she is a mind reader...
I thought I was about to burst into tears, but I just couldn't do that. Now they were all staring at me. Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel. Gazzy knew what was going on too, and I could tell he didn't want to talk to me. He turned and walked out of the room, only breaking my gaze when he turned the corner. Nudge got out of my look that I just wanted to be alone, so she too left.
Angel must have read my thoughts, so gave me a hug and exited.
I ran as fast as I could to my room, slamming the door. I turned on my electric blanket and climbed under the covers. I may be ashamed of this, but it really did happen: I bawled my eyes out.
Glimmer: Well that's really all I have in my brain right about now.
Fang: I never cry like that.
Glimmer: You make people cry like that.
Fang: Really? Who?
Glimmer: * slaps * MAX YOU IDIOT!
Fang: I'm sure she didn't cry when I left...
Glimmer: Yeah, she did.
Fang: I bet...
Glimmer: Seriously, Fang. Shut up.
