Ever since Fang has been gone, I feel like... Like a whole chunk has been bitten out of me. Every memory of him and me always buzz around my head like a mosquito. Nightmares haunt me day and night. And every night I wake up screaming. No amount of the flock comforting me will help. I'm not the only one that has been hurting since Fang left... But I've been hurting the most.

Dylan keeps following me around the house like he's my seeing eye dog. I try to forget, but I can't. I've been warming up to Dylan and I think I'm starting the long process of getting over Fang but it's only been a couple weeks. Angel keeps telling me "only time will tell." and I think she's right. Dylan was literally made for me and... I have to accept that I will never see Fang again...

"I'm sorry, Max... It's all my fault" Angel interrupted my thoughts. She's been doing this ever since Fang left. We still don't quite see eye to eye but I love her.

I decided to finally get off of the old laptop and eat some lunch. Of course, as soon as I entered the kitchen, Dylan was at my side. I can't blame him. He was 'programmed' this way.

"Hey, Max. Uhh. Can you meet me on the deck in a little bit?" Dylan said softly and seriously.

"No problem." I smiled sicerely. I just ate a little bowl of cereal since I didn't feel like starting any fires by making grilled cheese. As soon as I finished, I walked out to the deck, taking my time.

"What's up?" I whispered, a little disturbed by the intimacy of the moment.

"Come with me." Dylan grabbed me around the waist and flew out over the deck. I was holding back every urge to not kick him where it counts. He was holding me by the waist tight to his chest. I was marveling over how well he's gotten at flying. All I could see in the distance was a small patch of lush green. Lush. I'm such a marshmollow.

We landed smoothly in a meadow. It was breathtaking. Wildflowers were generously spread across the small opening. The grass was like that of the fairytale pricess-ness and there was a small stream running into a pond. I gawked at the sight.

"I found this place one day. I thought it might be a nice place to... Think." Dylan looked down at me and smiled. I noticed he was still holding me around my waist. I tried to discretely shrug out of his grip but he held me tighter. Next thing I knew, he turned me around and leand down to kiss me. I immediately squeezed my eyes shut.

Everything I knew about kissing anyone was only with Fang. This was too much. Tears started to form in my eyes. I tried to hold them back but the welled up and spilled over. I pushed him away as much as I could and jumped into the air.

"Max!" He yelled after me. I ignored him and poured on the speed. My tears were stinging my eyes but I didn't care. I got back in seconds. I ran inside and into my room. I saw the laptop with Fang's stuff on it still on my bed. The only thing that kept me from throwing it across the room was a small knock on the door, followed by Angel's voice.

"Max? Can you let me in?" I wiped my tears away and composed myself. I knew that wouldn't fool her but it was worth a shot. I opened the door and gave her my best, convincing "Yo."

"Don't 'Yo' me I know exactly what happened." She was concerned with me. All I could do was drop to my knees crying.

"I miss him so much... I love him. I will never love Dylan as much as I love Fang! I don't care if he's the last guy in the universe! I need Fang back..." I sobbed. "Come back..." I whispered.
