Hi! So, i just realized something: i had no idea what everyone's ages are! Well, here are the ages. Angel: 13, Gazzy: 15, Nudge: 18, Ella: 19, Iggy, Fang, and Max: 21. Since i just remembered, sorry for any childish stuff that's going on with the kids. I forgot they were older. :D

Chapter 3

Max P.O.V.

I gasped. Mom, Jeb, Ella, and the flock stood in the hallway, smiling widely. Oh god. They were here. What were they doing here? Didn't I specifically say that they needed to tell me first?

"Max!" Angel, Gazzy, and Nudge yelled and ran up to hug me. I stepped back.

"What are you doing here?" I asked tensely.

"You said we could come!" Angel smiled brightly.

"Why didn't you call?"

"We were in such a rush that we forgot to call! We're just really excited to see you, that's all!" Ella said happily. I took a deep breath, trying to figure out what I should do. Should I invite them in? Or should I tell them to come back another day?

"Can we come in?" Mom asked politely. Before I knew what I was doing, I nodded. They all walked past me and into my tiny apartment. Here we go….

"This is nice!" Ella said and smiled at me. I gave her a small smile back. Everyone marveled at the place for a little while before sitting on the couches, looking ready to talk. I slowly walked and sat down next to Nudge. We all sat there for a minute in an awkward silence. We all kind of didn't know what to say first. What do you say to someone that you haven't seen in six years?

"So," Jeb said, trying to make conversation. "How have you been Max?"

I cleared my throat. "I'm fine."

"Do you have a job?" Mom asked. Wow, she's already gone into Mother Mode after only seeing me for 3 minutes.

"Uh, yeah, I work at a café 2 blocks away."

"Do you have any friends?" Nudge asked eagerly. "Like a best friend? Someone you could tell secrets to?"

I chuckled. "Yeah, two actually. Zada and Nicole. They work at the café too." They were my best friends in the entire world. Nicole had light brown hair and hazel eyes. She had an unpleasant personality sometimes but not really outspoken. I have no idea why I stuck with her for this long. She could be really rude, but the second she saw Destiny, she turned into a completely different person. It was really weird and really hard to explain. Zada on the other hand, was an African American girl with long dark hair. She was kind of short (which got her picked on a lot) and was really happy all the time. People often thought that she couldn't stand up for herself (she denies it of course), but it was sort of true. I probably threatened about 50 kids that teased her at least once. But she didn't let that get her down. I loved that about her. WE were all really different in so many ways, but it just worked for us, I guess. They didn't care that I had had a baby at 15. I had met them when I was 5 months pregnant and ever since then, they have been by my side through everything.

"Zada?" Iggy asked. "What kind of name is Zada?"

"I think it's pretty!" Angel piped up. I had to watch out for her. I had to close off my mind, leave it completely blank. I couldn't let anything slip about Destiny.

I nodded in agreement. "Yeah! And I wouldn't say anything if I were you. What kind of a name is Iggy?"

"Touché."

"So Max!" Angel said and I turned to her. "Are you dating anyone?" My eyebrows rose.

"No. Why would I be?" I asked suspiciously.

"Oh, no reason!" She laughed nervously. I knew that look on her face. That was the face she got when she was talking to someone in her head. And I had a feeling that she was talking to Fang. But why would I care? He broke my heart by telling me to go. So, why should I care if he wanted to know that I was dating someone? He's probably dating some cute red head, who adores him. I don't care at all. Right?

"Oh Max!" I turned to look at Mom. "I brought something that you might want. Come here." I stood just as she started to look in her purse. I had taken a step forward when everyone gasped, (except Iggy) looking at something beside me. Before I could look down, I heard a word that would pretty much ruin everything.

"Mama?"
