Big Thanks to Jeanette Black Child of Padfoot. You rock! J

I really still didn't like Dylan but I was on better standing with him than Fang. I was in my room just looking at the letter. How did Fang get Dylan to agree to this? Last time I checked Dylan had the same resentment towards Fang as me. So I didn't know what to expect when I opened the letter. But I read:

Dear Max,
If you got this letter I decided to change flocks. It was a hard decision but I had to go. I want you to know that I am still only a email away. I hope you are successful in whatever you go for.
Sincerely
Dylan
He didn't explain why he left, he just did. Why does every guy that is suppose to love me do that. I mean it's like I'm a boy bad luck magnet. I thought of Fang as a boyfriend, but Dylan as a brother and an annoying one at that. I never thought he would leave. I was a little mad he did.
I was deep in thought when there was a knock at the door. "Who is it?"
"Nudge and Angel."
"Come in," I said, putting the note on the nightstand. As they came in they looked down like they were ashamed about something.
"What did you guys do wrong?" They both gave me a look.
"We knew Fang was coming. Your mom made us promise to not tell you. We thought it would be good for you." Nudge explained.
"How in the world would having Fang around be good for me?"
"You still love him. That's why you let him back into the flock." Angel said.
"You let him back in! That is great Max!" Nudge was really excited.
"Can you guys leave? I need some time to think about things." Bad excuses I just wanted them out. Before they bug me with more questions. They both nodded and started walking out the door. But Angel turned around and looked at me one more time before saying.

"He loves you too Max." Then she left closing the door behind her. What the heck he loved me but he left me. Or he left me and decided he loved me. This is just like Jeb, one minute he loves me and the flock; the next we are off on our own, being chased by Erasers, M-geeks, and the other bad things. I really don't know if I can trust him anymore. Which made me even madder because I hate not knowing things, that have something to do with me.

I woke up in a cold sweat. I had a dream about erasers coming and killing my flock, my family. It seemed so real. It was like it was actually happening.I decided to go get some hot chocolate to help me fall asleep again. This has happened every night for months now. I don't know what triggered them but I wish I knew.
When the hot chocolate was done I put it into a mug. The mug instantly turned warm in my hands. I love the feeling I get when I drink it. I feel warm and fuzzy, almost like relaxing. Well it was as close to relaxing as I was going to get for a while. I moved to the living room and sat down in a chair closest to the window. I pulled one of my legs close to me and let the other just dangle as I watched the moon.
It was a full moon. I watched the moon every night now a days. With every dream, there is the moon to comfort me. Tonight I was not alone though. I felt someone behind me. I turned and saw Fang. He was wearing all black as usual and his hair looked like he had just brushed it, like he hadn't slept all night. I turned back to look out the window. I didn't know what to say to him.
"Couldn't sleep?"
"No. You?" I don't know if I actually wanted to know.
"Can't sleep a wink, I was actually going out to fly; do you wanna come?"

"I don't really want to leave the flock. Are you going to see Maya?" My voice dripped with hatred.

"Nah, I think she can handle the Dylan's flock without me, besides she has a little thing for Dylan."

"She has a thing for you." More hatred entered my voice.

"What makes you say that, I like you!"

"I wish you would stop lying to me! You never liked me and if you did it all went away a while back. You left me, to go away with her."

"Max, for the last time she found me I never went looking for her she foundme." he repeated.

"Why did you leave?" It was a whisper.

He sighed and I knew what answer I was going to get.

"I left because I thought I was going to be a distraction, I thought I wasn't good enough for you and the "new race" as Jeb ranted about."

"The new race being thrown on my shoulders. Or my so called boyfriend leaving. Which do you think hurt me more?"

"I'm guessing by the tone of your voice losing me?"

"No freaking duh Fang. How did you want me to take it? Oh the guy I loved..." What did I just say?

He stared at me and started to smile.

"So you love me?" he asked in his cocky voice.

"Loved. Past tense."

"Yeah,but you said love either way, so there is still a chance that you still love me."

"Nope, It's just a word."

"Noooo, it's not you still love me and I'm going to get you to admit it no matter what."

"I do not!I have told you this more than once today."

"But you do love me."

"Think what you must." I said getting up. I walked into the kitchen to put my mug in the sink. When I turned around Fang was standing close, but not to close. Close enough to make me uncomfortable.

"I don't think, I know."

"You wish you knew." I said. Starting to walk back to the living room to go back up stairs. I wasn't tired but talking to Fang was weird.

"Yes I am very weird indeed." He said walking away. I turned back to him.

"Can you read minds now?"

"Nope, I can just tell by the face you gave me." I stood there just looking at him with an eyebrow raised.

"What do you want from me? It always feels like you want something."

"I want nothing, I just want to give you what you want and that is me."

"I did want you. But that was a long time ago. You ruined that." He thought he knew what I wanted. I really wanted to punch him.

"Well, punch me if that's what you really want." He really could read me like a book. The truth is I didn't want to look into his eyes. I just might fall if I did. I turned and wrapped my arms around my stomach.

"What do you think of me?" Again I can't believe I asked that.

"I think your the girl that I was stupid enough to let go of."

"Mushy gushy is not your style."

"Yes and your strong armor has cracks in it."
"Only from you." I was back to my snappy comebacks.
"But haven't you noticed that mine has cracks as well and your banter is filling the cracks again."
"Goodnight Fang."
"Goodnight Max." With that I went up to bed.
