Author's Note: Yea! New chapter! I have been working really hard on writing new chapters. This one is all in Max's point of view but don't worry, the next chapter will have Fang's side of the story. If you have any questins for me don't hesitate to ask. I love to hear you questions, comments, concerns, and anything else you want to get off your mind. I'm all ears. I pretty much know what is going to happen throughout the story but if you want to ask me something go ahead. There will be alot of twists and turns in this story, just as a heads up. I am also still working on geting this story under the cat. of Maximum Ride, but still no luck. *Pulls hair out now*.Ok so I have taken up enough of your time, lets get to the story shall we?

Oh BTW!...

Disclamer- I don't own Maximum ride.

Ok NOW on to the story..promise. hehe :)

Ch 4

Max's POF

I gave Fang a small sad wave and turned on my heel and walked away trying to keep as much of my dignity as possible but I felt it fading fast. I felt like my heart was just picked up and thrown off of a 200 story building plummeting to its death and shattering into a million pieces. There's no way a batman band-aid and a Popsicle is going to fix that one. I had just got my best friend back only lose him again to some grade A Barbie doll slut. What is the world coming to? Now I was off to go find Iggy and Nudge and hopefully get rid of this emptiness feeling I have lurking inside me right now.

I walked around for a few minutes not really sure where to go. I ended up walking up and down a few hallways just looking around and keeping an eye out for anyone I knew. I was about to give up when I passed this couple smashed up on the wall pretty much raping each other and playing a serious game of tonsil hockey. I walked past them completely disgusted but then I felt the erg to do a double take. I put it in reverse and found myself frozen in my spot with my mouth gaping open. No, way!

"IGGY? NUDGE? WHAT THE HELL?" they both froze as I spoke "I'm gone for two years and I come back to you two sucking face instead of welcoming me back and repeating over and over again how much you missed me!" I tried to say with a straight face but a smile came peaking through.

They slowly turned to face me with their lips swollen from kissing and red faces from embarrassment. Their eyes grew wider by a fraction of an inch as I stood there with a knowing smile plastered on my face with my hands on my hips.

"MAX!" they both screamed as they came running over to me knocking me down with the two of them on top of me attempting to hug me.

"I can't believe your really back!" Iggy said.

"OMG! MAX! We all missed you so much. Two years apart is just way too long to be away from the people you love, don't cha think? OMG! So much has happened since you have been away! Why didn't you write? Didn't you miss us? OMG! Do you not like us anymore? Did you find new better friends in Miami? Did you replace us? Is my replacement at least pretty? Because I don't think-"And so the Nudge channel begins. I cut her off by slapping my hand over her mouth. Man that girl can talk up a storm.

"Whoa, easy there Nudge. Yes I missed you, I'm sorry I didn't write, and no I didn't replace you. Miami sucked." I said trying to keep her from taking again. "But more importantly, what's up with you too?" I asked with an accusatory eye brow raise.

"Um, well, you see…" Nudge began. Oh now she chooses not to say much.

"We are going out, we have been for about a year now." Iggy said saving Nudge.

"I always knew you two would end up together, Fang and Ella owe me $20 bucks." I said with a chuckle.

"Speaking of Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Mysterious, have you seen him yet?" Iggy asked with a curious expression on his face.

"Ya," I said looking down at the floor, my smile turning into a frown, "It didn't go very well. His um…girlfriend didn't seem to like me being around her boyfriend and she told me straight up what she thought about me." I said with bitterness in my voice.

Iggy's and Nudge's eyes widened even more, "You met Lissa?" he asked in a shocked tone.

"Yep, and apparently I'm a whore, slut, and I'm trying to steal her boyfriend. She tried threatening me to stay away from him. Key word tried. I pretty much tailed her off and told her that she was the slut and no one wanted to see that nastiness and that she better watch herself because I could so beat her ass." I said shrugging in a no-big-deal kind of tone.

"NO WAY!" Iggy practically screeched, man he has been spending way too much time with Nudge.

"Yep, man she is a real brat." I said really annoyed.

"Yes she is. God I hate her, I have no Idea what Fang sees in her." Iggy said with a bit of sadness on his face. "What did Fang do when she said those things? Did he totally go ballistic on her and finally dump her trashy ass?" Iggy asked eagerly with a bit of hope in his voice.

"Um…. Not exactly" I said not meeting their eyes.

"What do you mean by 'Not exactly'" He asked.

I let out a heavy sigh and began "He didn't really do anything; he just stood there and watched it happen. He didn't even try to stop it." I said as I felt my eyes well with tears threatening to fall, but I refused to let them.

"Oh no." Iggy said with the sadness expression on his face. Nudge looked like she was on the verge of tears herself.

"After it was over he just said that that wasn't nice and that she didn't know me, but he really didn't stick up for me." I said quietly completely defeated. "It's been two years, I guess people change, and not always for the better." I was seriously about to break down crying. I felt like I had just lost the air I needed to breathe. I have been so excited to see my best friend, I didn't even consider he might have changed and we wouldn't be compatible anymore.

"Oh Max" I heard Nudge say in a heart breaking tone but I really didn't notice because the whole world was a big blur to me know. I felt like I was under water with no oxygen tank and I was fading fast.

They both grabbed me and took me into a strong and loving embrace but I was too heartbroken to hug back. So we just stood there with the two of them latched onto me in a huddle whispering comforting words to me until the bell rang and we had to go our separate ways. Today was not going how I was expecting it to.

By the end of the day I had managed to avoid Fang. There were a few close calls but I quickly dodged them by cutting through a hall or started talking to someone. I had a few of my afternoon classes with Nudge and Iggy and I had one class with Fang but I purposely sat on the completely opposite side of the room from him next to some guy named Sam. He was pretty nice, he was fairly good-looking, and I liked him even more because he helped me intercept a few close calls with Fang. I knew Fang had found out I was purposely avoiding him because when I would steal a few glances at him his face showed him true emotions, he was heartbroken. He had completely let his guard down and showed everyone what he was feeling. He wasn't even trying to hide it. It was like he didn't care anymore. That was so unlike him, I felt my heart break a little more; I didn't think that was even possible. All the king's horses and all the King's men will never be able to put my heart back together again, thought to myself.
