My Beta; Someday

Srry if this sux. Its my second story here, so I'm kinda new(ish). Constructive critisism is appreciated, flames welcome. I was listening to Paradise Lost by Hollywood undead, Come Back To Me by David Cook, Love by Sugarland, and If Today Was Your Last Day by Nickelback while I wrote this, so keep that in mind, plz. There's ONE sentence in here that isn't mine. It's from a book by Cynthia Voigt, and I love it to bits and pieces. It'll be in regular writing, but you'll know which it is. It'll be regular when the rest is in italics. The rest is all mine.

Someday



As I lay in the garden, watching as the clouds cross the empty expanse of sky, I cried. An endless stretch of "Why" ambled through my mind as I remembered the day he left us, one year ago, to the day.



We fought long and hard, our last battle ever. The last Flyboy went down, or so we thought. A click and bang. A gun shot. We spun around in alarm, expecting another round of fighting, but not even a faint humming sound of a retreating enemy was left behind.

"Report!" I choked out, my voice hoarse from screaming.

"Here!" Said Angel and Nudge together.

"I'm okay."

"Me too," Said Iggy and Gazzy. All I heard from Fang was a gurgling. I sun around so fast I almost fell, and there was Fang; on the ground, hands pressed over his stomach, his face pale and contorted in pain. And realization hit me like a train wreck. I was at Fang's side in an instant.

"Fang,ohmygod, Fang, no please!" I was screaming again. Iggy felt Fang's wound.

"How bad is it?" I demanded. He pulled me into a tight embrace, and whispered,

"Hes' going to die, Max." I was screaming, I don't even know what. And then I stopped. I put Fang's head on my lap.

"Why?" He didn't have to ask what I meant. Why did he take the bullet when we all knew it was meant for me? Why did he have to get shot? Why was this happening? Why did he do it?

"To save you, " he puffed out between labored breaths. I gaped at him. time seemed to freeze for a moment, and then crash into itself in it's hurry to speed up again, rocking the entire Earth.

"To save me? Why would you do that, you...you stubborn twit! You-you're going to die!" He finally opened his eyes, and they were clouded over. Like Iggy's. Like he couldn't see. I gently brushed his overlong hair out of his eyes. We all stared at him, until he smiled, a smile that fell over us like sunshine, no more concerned with us than sunshine is, and said,

"Because, I saved you, Max. I died saving you. I died saving the one I love. That's all I need." The tears were pouring down my cheeks in rivers now, making small but clear tracks on my dirt streaked face.

" Oh my god, Fang. I love you too. Okay? More than you'll ever know. You hear me? Feel these?" I demanded of him, bringing his hands up to my wet face, "These are for you, you know." He gave me that dazzling smile that I love so much. That I might never get to see again. Stupid of me to realize that I loved it so much, now, when I was about to lose it. But they always say you never know what you've got until you lose it. Then he grunted in pain.

"Iggy!" I half sobbed.

"Max, I-I can't-there's nothing I can do." He was crying now, too. Everyone was. I looked down at Fang.

"I'm sorry. So so sorry. I saved the entire planet, but the one person I need to stay alive the most is dying. A shaky hand reached up to cup my cheek.

"Max, don't be sorry. Nothing is you're fault. I love you, okay? I'll always love you, and protect you, and watch you, and remember you, no matter where I am. You are the one thing that no one can take away. You are my heart." And then he kissed me. All of our emotions were in that kiss. Sadness, regret, loneliness, consonances, condo lances, desperation, passion, and love. Above all, love. I supported him in my arms. His blood was everywhere now. On my clothes, my hands, in my hair, on my lips. And when he went limp, when his last breath left him, and went into me, I only laid him down gently, laid across his chest,and wept. For my best friend, my right wing man, my love. My one and only love. The rest of the Flock joined. The day I'll never forget. They day I lost the man I love.



A rain drop shook me out of my silent reverie. And as it began to pour, I sat up, spread my wings and flew. I didn't cry, didn't scream. I smiled. Because if I looked from the corner of my right eye, I could swear I saw his long graceful black wings right beside me, felt the gentile tip of his wing brushing mine on the down stroke. See the smile that turned my world upside down and lit it up like Christmas in New York City. And I smiled back. As I flew back to the house the Flock and I had settled down in, in honor of Fang, I decided to make on more stop. Fang. I knew that we would see each other again, and that he loved me, wherever he was. I only hoped he knew I loved him too. You see, happiness always comes with sadness. The happiness of saving the world came with a sadness all its own, one that knocked me to my knees. But also came with a love that would take me higher than my wings ever could. I flew to my favorite stream, deep in the woods, and took out the single black feather I had on a chain around my neck. I kissed it, layed it in the water, and watched it float away. I felt the ghost of a pair of wings wrap around me, strong and safe, and I could swear that Fang was there with me, going through my life along with me. The pain would never go away, but it would be replaced one day, with love. Someday. For now, I had a Flock to take care of.



-Faster and faster this whirlwind spins,

Trowing us out, dragging us in,

old memories, a sweet escape,

the one thing that I just can't take.

So stop!

And love me the way you always used to,

Do everything in the way that you do,

Sweep me off my feet with a flick of your fingers,

prove to me that your love is true.

Yeah.

I love you too.
