Hello my readers!

I hope you enjoyed my last chapter after not updating in like forever.

But here is my next chapter and this one is a little different…

It's gonna be in Fang's POV and what has happened in his new life in Arizona. I missed him so much, I had to do 1 chapter about him. It's gonna start off when Fang and his family are flying to Arizona, the same day he gives Max the letter. I am gonna start off there and then jump to other years, sort of like how i did in Max's chapters.

So I hope you guys like it! (And this is in Fan's POV, but he is still 8)

Chapter 6 – New Beginning

"Flight 0327 to Arizona now boarding." Said a voice through the speakers in New Hampshire airport.

I looked over at my mom who was waking up the twins from the seat next to me. "Fang, can you get your mothers bag and my computer carrier please?" my dad asked.

I nodded, picked up both bags and started walking to the tunnel leading to the plane. The stewardess in the front looked down at me and smiled, I smiled half-heartedly back.

If only she knew that I was leaving my best friend in the whole world and moving to a new state.

My mom handed her our tickets and then carried in Angel, who was still half asleep. I walked down the tunnel to the plane and stopped just before the doorway, there was a line of people waiting to get in. The pilot and co-pilot were standing on the other side, smiling and welcoming the passengers.

There was an older lady in front of me, who was talking to the pilot and shaking her head. I looked back and didn't see my parents. Where are they?

"Ma'am please step forward, I can assure you this is a very safe plane. I can even have a stewardess bring you a cup of hot tea." The pilot was saying to the older lady, but she still wouldn't get on.

I put down my parents' bags, and went back up the tunnel to find my dad walking down with Gazzy in his arms. "Where's mom?" I asked,

"Angel's teddy bear, Celeste fell between the seats and they went back to get her. They should be coming back." I turned around and walked back down with my dad.

The old lady was now gone and the co-pilot was just picking up our bags. I reached forward and grabbed them, "Thank you." I said before walking in. my dad followed my and hen finally so did my mom.

"Honey, we are in row thirteen. Towards the middle." My mom yelled. I walked down thirteen rows and found our seats.

My dad came up behind my and put the two bags in the over-head compartments. "You sit by the window, and then Angel and then your mother. I will sit behind you guys with Gazzy." My dad instructed.

I sat next to the window and looked out. The sun was just starting to set and there was a light wall of snow. My mom placed Angel next to me, who put her head on my shoulder and was fast asleep.

My mom then put on her seat belt and sat down next to her. She sighed deeply and looked over at me. I could tell she was tired, with the bags under her eyes.

She smiled weakly and then closed her eyes, probably wishing to be at the Rides' house, enjoying a nice glass of wine with Mrs. Ride. Max…

Just as I got comfortable my dad put his hand through mines and Angel's seat and squeezed my shoulder. "This is gonna be a fresh start Fang. Trust me you are going to love it in Arizona." He said enthusiastically.

I rolled my eyes, wanting to tell him this is a mistake and we should be with Max and her family right now. But instead I stayed quiet and listened to the pilot through the speaker.

I remember the take-off and then looking down at Angel, seeing how peaceful she looked even through the rumble of the engine as we shot off into the air.

Then the pilot came back on, promising a comfortable flight and wishing us a nice Christmas Eve. I must have then fallen asleep because I don't remember anything else other than waking up in Arizona.

It was still dark outside when I opened my eyes. I could see the outline of the buildings of the airport and the workers directing the plane from the ground.

I looked over to where Angel was and found her coloring in one of her Princess coloring books. Her hair was a mess and her clothes were all wrinkly.

I then looked over at my mom who was reading one of her food magazines. She looked up at me, "Well, looks like Sleeping Beauty has finally awoken." She said and I smiled at her.

"You missed an incredible lightning storm when we were flying over Oklahoma."

"Yeah, it was very scary." Added Angel, who was coloring the Little Mermaid's tail green. I smiled and then looked between the seats to look back at Gazzy and my dad.

My dad had gotten down his laptop, and Gazzy was still asleep. I smirked, just like his big brother, I thought.

"Ok, so we have just landed in the state of Arizona, it is 10:25p.m. local time, and still Christmas Eve. Please don't forget your belongings in the over-head compartments, and thanks for flying Delta Airlines." The pilot ended.

They were already unloading the First Class area and were almost to our section. I heard my dad's laptop close and then him whispering, trying to wake up Gazzy. I snorted, knowing Gazzy wouldn't wake up, that kid can sleep through anything.

Angel started putting away her crayons and my mom was getting the bags from the compartments. "Fang, can you take Angel while I help your father with Gazzy."

"Yeah, come on Angel, time to go." I grabbed her hand and followed the man in front of us. I looked back and saw my dad carrying Gazzy and my mom behind them.

When we finally rented a car after hours of waiting for a van, we were driving to our new home. And we were all excited (please note the sarcasm)

Gazzy finally woke up and we started playing our favorite game.

We call it Color Car, and the way it works is whenever a car passes by, Gazzy needs to tell me the color of it and spell the color. Whenever he gets both things right, he gets a point. My mom says this helps him learn his colors.

Hey, it's something so we don't get bored. After about two hours of driving, we pull into a little city called Dolan Springs. All the houses are fairly big, but not as big as our old one back in New Hampshire. The sun is shining and there are tons of kids outside playing.

Not like back home. "Isn't this nice? Fresh air, the warm sun, tons of kids. I think we are going to love it here." Said my dad, trying to sound cheerful.

We passed by a brick building with flowers and vines along the sides and a sign that said, Copper Ridge Elementary School

"Look Fang, that's your new school." My mom said pointing to her left. I ignored her and kept looking out the window, so far not liking my new "home". We finally pulled into a driveway of this light blue two-story house with a big porch.

"We're home!" announced my dad. We all got out of the car and my mom opened the door. All the furniture was already put in, so it was ready to go. I looked inside and saw our family room. It was…ok.

Wasn't too impressive until my eyes locked on the 60-inch flat screen. I stood in front of it and gazed. "Pretty cool huh? Picked it out myself." My dad said, standing next to me.

I nodded my head and walked into the kitchen. It looked like our old one, except the wood was darker and there were a lot more windows. My mom pocked her head in, "Go check out your room. It's the second door to your right."

I ran up the stairs and opened my door. The walls were painted a really light gray, my bed had a black and gray comforter and on the side I had a big closet. There were three windows and on my desk was a new computer. I smiled, kinda happy with my room.

Next door were the twins room, and across the hall my parent's room. I walked back downstairs and out to the backyard. The twins were playing on their new jungle gym and my parents were off to the side. I walked over to them and then Angel came running up to us.

"Mommy, mommy I really like it here!" she said beaming up at my parents. "But where is Max? Can she come over?"

Ok, so that day went ok, I guess, we all got used to the new home and I got enrolled in my new school. So far we've been here a month and all is well.

I made a new friend at school named Asher. He is pretty cool, and we hang out a lot, but he cannot replace Max. The twins and my parents are also doing really good; my dad loves his new job.

I finished off my second grade year really well, getting good grades. And that's how most of my elementary school years went. Asher and I became even better friends and we were always together. I even got to know the lady at the candy store really well, so once in awhile she would give us free chocolate bars!

For my 10th birthday my parents got me this awesome guitar, it was a shiny black with silver wings. I was amazing. Lately I had been into a lot of music. I never ever let that guitar out of my sight.

But one day when I was practicing, I found myself looking at the wings. I don't know why, but they reminded me of Max.

I remembered the pictures my mom gave me of her and I, the ones when I were asleep in the car and at the picture place. I always kept them on my desk.

One day when Asher was over at my house he found them. He picked up the one with us in wings and asked who the girl was. I ran to him, yanked the photos out of his hands and put them in my drawer.

"She…um…is just an old friend." I mumbled, and then we went downstairs for lunch.

So sorry for skipping another year of my life, but nothing really exciting happened I just turned another year older (So now I am eleven) and the twins are eight.

So now I am a 6th grader, the twins are in 2nd grade and school is out for Spring Break. Asher and I mostly spend our time riding bikes or we are in his pool.

Well that first Saturday my dad had planed a dinner a tour house with his boss at work. He thought it was nice to have a dinner, so we can get to know him better. (Honestly I think he is just do this so he looks good to get another raise, just saying) so that whole afternoon I helped my mom cook the dinner.

She made her world famous meatloaf and mashed potatoes. She also made a pear pie that is to die for. So at around five, an hour before they got here and dinner was ready I jumped into the shower. I was just gonna throw on some jeans and a t-shirt, but my dad said to wear something nice.

So instead I had to wear an itchy collared shirt and nice dress pants. Since this was so not my style, I thought I should at least leave in some Fang style, so I spiked my hair. And I got a disapproving look from my dad, but did I care? Nope!

So after I helped Angel get in her spring dress I went downstairs and watched some TV. After fifteen minutes of watching some dumb movie, the doorbell rang. My dad practically flew down the stairs and stood by the door.

He made sure his hair looked fine in the hallway mirror and then opened the door with a smile. "Why if it isn't my favorite boss!" he said to Mr. Dwyer

I rolled my eyes knowing it as all fake, and then got up. Mr. Dwyer and his wife entered with my mom greeting them both. Then a girl with dark black hair and hazel eyes walked in after them.

Wow, she is kinda…pretty, I thought to myself.

She shook my fathers' hand and then hugged my mom. "And this is my beautiful daughter, Brigid." Mr. Dwyer said looking at her with a smile.

I then came up behind my mom and greeted all of them, but lingering on Brigid. Hey, don't judge me, I'm an eleven year old boy; it's fine to have a crush on some one.

After they met Angel and Gazzy we went straight to dinner. At both ends of the table were my parents, one side were the Dwyers and opposite to them were me, Angel and Gazzy.

I sat right in front of Brigid (accidentally). Every once in awhile I would look at Brigid, and notice something different every time. Her laugh was kinda high, but just high enough, she had one dimple on her left side, and her hair would shine every time it caught the sunlight.

After every one finished dinner, my mom asked me to help her get dessert. As she brought out the pie she looked at me, "So Brigid?" she asked.

I looked at her confused. "Don't even look at me with those puzzled eyes. I've been watching you look at her."

I looked down, blushing, so not Fang like. "It's fine Fang, I'm just playing," she said with a smile, "I think it's kinda cute, you having a little crush."

She said with a huge smile on her face before she took the cake out to the dinning room. I composed myself with a straight face and followed her out with the ice cream.

After dessert the Dwyers left. We all said goodbye and I even waved at Brigid. She blushed slightly, waved back and then followed her parents out. "Well that went well." My dad announced after he closed it.

So again I am skipping ahead 1 more year, to next summer. So we are all a year older (Fang: twelve going into 8th gr. Angel/Gazzy: nine going into 4th gr.)

I had just came back from Asher's house after being in the pool, and the twins were at their friends birthday party. When I got into the house I went up to room and put on some fresh clothes.

I went back downstairs and let in Total from the backyard. He came in and ran up the stairs, probably to the twins' room. I went to the kitchen, grabbed a bag of chips, a coke and went to the living room.

My dad was watching TV, "Hey, how was it at Asher's?" he asked me. I sat down and opened the bag,

"It was really fun, he got these new water guns and we had an amazing water fight." He smiled and then went back to the TV. It was some dumb comedy movie,

"Where's mom?" I finally asked, knowing I hadn't seen her.

"She went to Petsmart, Total ran out of food, so she went to go get some." I nodded my head and ate my first chip.

"Oh, hey dad can you put it on the news. We missed the basketball game last night, maybe they will say who won." I said, getting bored of the movie. He flipped the channel to the news.

On the screen they showed a really bad car crash and the headline said, Major Car Crash. One person in critical state!

"Wow that looks really bad, that car is completely smashed in." my dad said looking at the mini van.

"Yeah, hey isn't that the shopping center we always go to?" I asked, noticing our local super market. And then I took a closer look at the mini van…it kinda looked like ours…

"Did mom take the van?" I asked my dad, who nodded. I looked and saw the Hawaiian flower sticker on the back, the same one our van has.

"Dad is that our…?" I was about to ask if that was our van but was cut off by the phone ringing.

It was the hospital.

Ok well there is that chapter, and I hope you guys liked it.

When they first moved to Arizona and Fang was acting weird with his dad, that's because he was pretty mad at him. Sorry if I made it seem like something else.

And sorry for the cliff hanger, but I'm not sure how I wanted to end it, so I just stopped. Hopefully I can get 4 more reviews!

So again hope you enjoyed, and please review! :)
