I watched Fang fly away in silence. He had come back, apologized, and we fell back into the ditches that broke us the first time. The ditches that we dug ourselves, our own prison. It was our mistake, our choice. Deep down inside, he would always be my only true love. And again, it was a repeat of last time. As I watched him, tears streamed in paths down my cheek. He left me...again. I just don't know how many times one heart can be hurt and again be healed. Dylan walked up. I spun around slowly. His eyes were not quite green, and yet not quite blue, but shining like stars. I pulled him into a tight hug, feeling his strength as he let me cry into his shoulder. He was warm and willing to be there for me...no matter what. Was it wrong for me to brush him off? Yeah, it was.
Especially when he's never, ever going to dream of leaving you. I didn't care how I looked. All I could concentrate on is the unbearable pain in my heart, making my head throb and my legs feel weak. Only Fang had enough of me to break me this badly.
Jeb, you were wrong. I can't be the amazing, indescribable Maximum Ride as long as I love Fang. And I can't stop loving him. Dylan held me tighter and rested his head over mine. I could feel his heart beating. I looked up into his face, struggling for a smile that didn't come. Dylan, with all of his perfectness. He wrapped his wings around my back. I returned it with my wings under his. The right-ness of it filled my heart for one moment, if only that.
He lifted my chin with his hand gently. He kissed me softly on the cheek, and said everything in one word.
"Hey."
And I smiled.
