A/N: So at the beginning Max is being very moppy and not much like her strong lets get to it self but it's all for a reason and will come together once you read the rest of the story so,
LET THE STORY BEGIN!
MAX POV:
It's been one week since Fang left and I haven't left my room. I can't face the flock; I can't let them see me in all this pain. My face is permanently stained by all the tears that run down my face, everyday, every second. I heard a faint knock on my door. I decided to ignore it and stuffed a pillow over my head, blocking out the noise. The knocking didn't stop and after a few minutes of non stop knocking I couldn't handle it.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" I yelled sobbing. Dylan nervously opened the door. He saw the pain on my face and he was about to leave when I stopped him. "Wait! I need someone to talk to." I said quietly. Dylan was the newest member of the flock and doesn't know the full extent of how much I love Fang. I figured it would be easiest to talk to someone who doesn't know me as well as the rest of the flock; someone who doesn't know how much I hated emotion. He moved over to sit next to me on the bed and took my hand.
"Max, I'll listen to anything you say. You need to release all of this pain!" He said.
"I miss him. I miss him so much. I don't know why he left." Or why he broke my heart, I added to myself.
"I don't know either Max, but I will help you through it." He promised. My heart swelled with happiness. Someone was going to help me. He gently pushed one of my stray hairs away from my face, his hand resting on my cheek he said, "Max, I know you don't know it yet, but you love me and you will get over him." The immediate swell of happiness left and was replaced with anger. How dare he say that! Fang just left!
"I will never love anyone but Fang." I hissed. He grimaced from my words.
"I'm sorry Max, but I was made for you. Just wait and you will notice." Dylan said frowning. He leaned down, kissed my forehead, then left. I sat there on my bed not doing anything, just thinking. Dylan was wrong about me loving him but he was right about how I shouldn't hold in all of my pain. I had a flock to take care of and sitting here moping wasn't helping. I slowly got up from my warm bed and stepped over to my door. Slowly turning the handle the door creaked open and my room was flooded with the hallway light. I walked to the kitchen, I barely have eaten anything and I was well overdue for breakfast. The smell of bacon and eggs filled my nose and I couldn't help but smile. I couldn't believe that I didn't even realize how much I missed Iggy's wonderful cooking. I turned the corner to the kitchen and ran in to a body with a full head of dark curly hair.
"ZOMG! Max! You came out of your room! Are you alright? Wait, of course you're not alright! Fang left. Wow, Max I am so sorry. I don't know why he left. I'm so sad. Iggy's making breakfast. You must be hungry!" Nudge went on talking until I placed my hand over her mouth.
"Nudge! I'm fine. And yes I am hungry." Iggy had dropped a pancake on the ground in shock when he heard me enter. He looked directly at me (even though he's blind) with his mouth shaped in a perfect o.
"Max…" He ran over to me and crushed me to his chest wrapping his arms around me. I hesitated at first but then slowly put my arms around him. Wow, I didn't know how much I needed that. "Fang is such a jerk! It's going to be fine. We really missed you."
I then realized how stupid I had been to be wasting away in my room. I had a family. People who loved me and who wouldn't leave.
As the day went on it almost felt as if everything was back to normal. We were now enjoying a delicious dinner of macaroni and cheese, made by Iggy of course. "Hey Max, remember the time when you made macaroni and it was so gross that Fang spit it out and then you dumped it on him? OMG that stuff was soooo gross. I am so glad you didn't make I think I would puke! Ewww, puking is soo gross! Even worse than your cooking!" Nudge kept talking and talking until Gazzy threw his hand over her mouth, but my mind was somewhere else.
I was remembering the memory Nudge brought up. It was the day after Jeb left us and my attempt at cooking was not a success. It was also a memory I had remembered when I thought Fang was dead. A tear leaked down my cheek as I remembered that this day wasn't back to normal and it never will be until Fang is back. Twenty years…It was to long. I jumped up from the table not wanting the flock to see me cry and ran to the living room. I threw myself on to the couch and started crying. I felt something tap my shoulder and I instinctively reacted. I shot around and punched who ever it was in the face.
"Gosh Max! Do you always have to hit something?" Iggy stood there rubbing his cheek right below his eye. He took a step forward holding out his hands. "You're not going to hit me again are you?"
"Of course not! I'm so sorry!" I slid my butt over to make room on the small brown couch. He sat next to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I laid my head on his. Iggy had always been a big brother to me (even though we're not sure who's older) and he always helped me through things. We sat there in quiet until Iggy said something.
"I miss him too." I was about to interrupt him when he continued "I know it's not the same as being in love with him but he was my best friend and brother." I just sat there. Fang had been so quiet and to himself I never really thought that he had other best friends besides me but now that I think about, he and Iggy had been close. Fang had been Iggy's first friend, his first cage mate, the first one to help Iggy when he lost his sight, even the first one to give him girl advice (even though Gazzy couldn't really give Iggy girl advice). I realized then how much of an idiot I've been. I have been sitting in my room for a WEEK feeling like I was the only one who missed him. Everyone missed him. Nudge, Angel, Gazzy, Iggy and maybe even Dylan. They all missed him and I knew that I wasn't in this alone. They'll help me. They will help me get Fang back…no matter what it takes.
