Okay, guys, right now I'm not in the best mood. So, what this means, is that if this chapter sucks ass, I don't care. If you hate it, deal with it. Don't review bs about my horrible chapter, or I don't know what I'll do. Okay, got it? Good.

I don't own Maximum Ride, but I so wish I did. Ella:

Lately, I haven't been the happiest. The reason for this? Well, it's probably because all my friends in school have turned on me because they all think that I 'gave it up' to some guy at the school and ended up pregnant...TOTAL LIES! Now, every guy I see, seems to think that I'm easy. Fang, Iggy and Max haven't seen this, because they're all kind of mad at me, and haven't forgiven me for the incident with Iggy. But, everyone has noticed that something is wrong but I always just pass it off as being tired. They always just nod and then leave me be, but I kind of wish someone would ask that stupid question; 'tired of what?' I know, it's stupid to think anyone would ask that.

I was staring out the window, in Iggy's car. He had offered to drive Max and I home because Mom's car broke down or something like that. Anyway, I was lost in thought, when Max's happy voice interrupted them.

"So, El! How was your day?" I must have jump at least a foot in the air.

"Uh," what do I say, it obviously wasn't good, but Max can tell when I am lying. But, she wouldn't care, she is mad at me, right? "good" I said, before turning back to the window. I heard Max sigh, as I drifted back into thought.

My phone chimed, telling me that there was text.

"Hey, baby, come over tonight? We can have some fun! Everybody knows how badly you need to have fun" some guy texted. This was one of the thousand texts that had been sent to me. Also, as if that wasn't bad enough, there are videos of people from my school dressed up at sluts and pretend to be me, paying people to sleep with them.

I felt like bursting into tears, just over that text, but I couldn't. Not in front of everyone. They would laugh, and call me weak. So, I swallowed the lump in my throat, put on my sunglasses, to not show my tear filled eyes and pretended to rest until we got back to my house. In reality, I was trying my hardest not cry and begging that nobody would speak to me. But, of course since whoever is up there hates me, Nudge started talking, to me. '

"Ella? Are you okay? Why did you put sunglasses on, because It looks cloudy. Do you think it's going to rain? I don't think so, the clouds aren't gray, but then again it could be a light shower, in which case they won't be grey anyway." She was going to go on, but a look from Iggy and she closed her mouth.

"Y-yeah...I'm okay" I said, pausing "I just had something in my eye and I didn't want anything else to go in."

It was a very lame excuse, but everybody seemed to buy it, nodding and turning their attention back to whatever.

"Uh, anyway. Max, Ella, I present to you, your home." Iggy said, unlocking the doors and kissing Max's cheek. That made me want to cry again.

"Bye Babe!" Max chirped before stepping out, but I, on the other hand, didn't wait or say goodbye. Before Max even said this, I was out and at the front door, trying to get the key in, holding back tears from the day and the car ride.

Max:

Iggy kissed my cheek. I smiled. "Bye, Babe!" I said, but the second it left my mouth, Ella was like a rocket, she slipped out of the car and raced to the house. What the?

I ran after her, waving goodbye to Nudge and Ig. "El! What's up?" I asked. She shook her head, and ran into the house, only to stop dead in her tracks. I hit her and fell to the ground. "Okay, El? Really-" I saw that she was looking at something, almost horrified. I followed her gaze, and saw... My mother, making with some dude?! Ew!

I cleared my throat and watched as the two jumped 4 feet and away from each other. "Girls!" mom said.

"Uh...hi" El said, and I took the time to notice, El had taken off the glasses and her eyes were puffy.

"Um...girls, this is Jeb..."

"Hi, Jeb" we said together and he nodded awkwardly.

"Mom...uh...can I talk to you? In private?" Ella asked. It was odd, because the last time I heard those words, was when she started her 'cycle' when she was twelve.

"Sure, hun." she said, standing up and walking out of the room, leaving me with Jeb.

"So, Jeb...why do you look familiar?"

He coughed awkwardly.

"Um...Maximum {MAKING THIS NAME UP BTW} Taylor Ride-" he said, turning fully to me. That creeps me out. How the f- does he know my full name?!

"How do you know my name?!"

"Because, I chose it..."

"No! My mom chose my name." He shook his head.

"No, your father did."

"You just said you did-" My eyes widened and I backed away in horror. The man who walked out on my mom, was just making out with her?!

"Yes.." he said, ignoring my shock, "I did. Maximum, I am your father."

I didn't reply, or anything. I grabbed my bag again and ran back out. It had been a few minutes, but for some reason, Iggy was still here. When he saw me, he smiled and hung up the phone to his ear.

"Hey! I was just about to call you! El left her notebook-" he said, trailing off at the end, noticing my expression. "What's wrong?"
