It's official. I've become obsessed with writing Maximum Ride fanfiction.
My poor Alex Rider stories.

Anyways (gosh, that's like my catch phrase!)
So, WOOT! It's not a Oneshot! At least, I'll try not to make it a Oneshot! Most likely a Two-shot. Or a Three-Shot.

Disclaimer: Maximum Ride belongs to the amazing, indestructable James Patterson
On with the show!

Somewhere Between It All

Dear Fang,

So, um, hi. It's me, Max. Max Ride. Or Maximum. I don't know why I'm saying this, you already know my name. I guess I'm just nervous.

Yeah, that's right. You read that correctly. I'm nervous.

Where to start…where to start?

I guess I'll just start this from the very beginning.

Remember, like, seventeen years ago, when you and I were, like, little babies and we were placed in cages next to each other? Yeaah…such a typical love story, wouldn't you say?

Perhaps I shouldn't start quite so far back. Maybe a little closer to the present.

Let's go back to a few weeks ago, when you were visiting, shall we? That seems like a solid place to start. You should (hopefully) remember that.

So, we were sitting down on the couch watching some movie. I don't really know what it was. But I should probably write the title down somewhere, just for future reference. Because then I can tell my kids either to never watch that movie again, for it marks a time in history blacker than midnight. Or I can tell them to watch it every freaking day because it's the most amazing, epiphany-generating movie that ever existed.

The thing is I'm not sure how you'll take this. So, I just need to think of my options, you know?

I'm rambling, aren't I? Anyways.

So, things are blowing up on the screen. People are screaming. We're laughing at the bad graphics.

And suddenly, it hits me.

I don't really know how I thought of it during that movie. Perhaps it's a bad thing I did…no, I won't think like that. I just have to say this…or…write this. Whatever.

Anyways.

At that time in our lives (wow that was rather cheesy) I finally realized what everyone else kept trying to tell me.

And that's this: somewhere between the movies and the pizza, the beating Erasers into non-existence and blowing up Itex and saving the world (you know. The basic, average teenager stuff. Blah, blah, blah) I think I , um, fell in love with you.

There. I've said it.

It's just…every time I look at you…you've got this look in your eyes. And it's not letting me go, not for a long time. And I can't help but hope that you feel the same way.

And you're always there for me. Always. And you understand me. You make the world make sense. It's impossible to think that one person can do all that. But you do it, Fang. And more.

And. Well, I'm not sure what else to say. So I'll just leave it at that.

I just love you.

Yours truly,

Max

I can't believe I wrote that.

I also cannot believe I put that in the mailbox. I'm tempted to attack that big blue, metal box and tear it apart metal sheet by metal sheet, if only to get my letter back.

No, Max! Just…let it happen. You can do it.

You see, Fang's gone to college. Well, so have I. But he got into Oxford University waaaay in London someplace and I stuck around here to go to Brown University.

Secretly, the distance just kills me. I hate that I forgot to apply to Oxford. Stupid me for being so stupid!!

Nudge, Gazzy, Angel, Total and Akila live with Mom and Ella, still in Arizona. Iggy went off to college as well. He got into Harvard, that evil genius.

But I'm not talking about them. Er, no offense guys.

Although, frankly, all I can ever think about anymore is Fang.

It reaaally sucks for my grades.

But it's the truth!

He flew here a few weeks ago to visit me and…ever since then, things have changed. I don't know. It's just crazy. Stupid Fang for being so amazingly Fang-y and making me love him.

Yeah, you read that right. I don't care who knows now.

Didja hear that world?

I LOVE FANG!!!!!

Hell yes I do.

But, tragically, I have to wait for a whole other I-don't-even-know-how-long for even a reply.

Why, Fang? Why did you have to go across the ocean and torture me so?!

Ugh. This sucks. Love sucks. But I just can't help but love you, Fang!

Review and I'll update!!(:

Hope you enjoyed!

Always yours,
