'To my dearest Iggy,
I don't know where you've flown off to now. I sit here in my bed, writing this letter in hopes that it will find you some day. I'm considering whether to post it online and embarrass myself just in hopes of this finding you. Yet while I sit here, I'm also thinking of how I pushed you so far away, and how much I've lost because I'm alone and lost without you.
I miss your laugh, your smile, and your eyes. I want to talk to you about anything and everything just like we used to. Remember when I told you I loved you? I still do, that much will never change Iggy; can you see that? Can you see me sitting on the roof of the house we live in, waiting for you to come home every night? And I face the cold because I think of the warmth of your arms around me and your heated kisses.
I'm reconsidering posting this on the internet now, but would definitely be worth it if I had you back here in my arms.
What you saw Iggy, what you thought you saw was nothing but a mere mistake. I'm so sorry I hurt you, I wish I could reverse time and stopped it from happening. I know you're hurting inside, but I'm hurting too. I love you, Iggy. Just come back to me and let me explain everything.
Also, Fang's gone.
He left the Flock once more and now I am without either of you in my life.
I know Fang caused all of this to happen, but it doesn't make me miss him any less than I do. But, I miss you more, so please come home. I need you. The Flock needs you.
Take your time… but please don't take too long.'
The deep sigh escaped me as I finished reading the letter for the seventh time. I clicked the 'Post' button without another thought, hoping that it would reach him. Fang had left his laptop behind so I logged onto his blog on my own account and posted it, fully knowing that Fang had thousands of followers who would see it and would –hopefully- reach Iggy in time.
After closing the laptop I stared up at the ceiling, thinking back to the stupid event that caused all of this.
-Flashback-
"Come in!" I called out after the three rapid knocks on my bedroom door. Fang quietly slipped into my room, shutting the door softly behind him. I pushed myself up so my back was resting against the headboard. "What's up?"
He didn't speak, just simply stepped closer towards me until he was kneeling on my bed, only mere inches from my face.
"Fang are you oka-" Soft lips pressed against mine and a fire exploded in my stomach. It wasn't a good one. This fire writhed inside of me like it wanted to escape, to burst out like a volcano. Neither of us heard the door open as I placed my hands on Fang's shoulders to gently push him away; when I finally blinked away the fuzziness that had overcome my eyes, Iggy was already gone.
-Flashback-
My hands tightened into fists as I remembered yelling at Fang, asking him what he was doing and why. After he left me for Maya, my feelings had slowly begun to fade and new ones had grown for Iggy. So when Fang came back he had expected me to come running into his arms like a patient and obedient dog. Well he sure was shocked when he found out Iggy and I were together. Shaking the angry thoughts from my head, I decided to climb out my window and onto the roof for the night. After tossing on a jacket I swung myself out of the window and onto the roof, ready and waiting as I had for the past month.
Laying on my side, I stared into the starry sky, wondering if Iggy was ever going to come back. He knew how I felt about him, how I felt about Fang. Sighing again, I closed my eyes and thought of Iggy's warmth when he hugged my tightly against him. Humming to a song I had recently begun to love, I started to sing the lyrics to myself.
I'm fading
Much too fast, my love
I'm waiting
For it to pass, my love
Could I feel your skin on mine
Before I have to say goodbye
Could I breathe please, one last time
You in my lungs before I curl up
And die
All my world is losin' light
I'm leaving
This cold world of mine
No pleading
Is gonna turn back time
Could I feel your skin on mine
Before I have to say goodbye
Could I breathe, please, one last time
You in my lungs before I curl up
And die
All my world is losin' light
"Man, that is a really depressing song," A voice piped up beside me, causing me to roll to my feet in a crouched position, ready to take on any offender. Although, my legs weakened beneath me as I took sight of the person in front of me. The familiar cornflower blue eyes, strawberry blonde hair and slight smirk that accompanied his face most days.
He stepped closer with his arms held out towards me as my eyes filled with tears. "I'm so sorry, Max. I shouldn't have run off like that." He gathered me up and held my head against his chest as I cried.
"Why did you leave, had no idea where you were."
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," His voice thick and choked with emotion. He placed a kiss on top of my head, resting his chin on top afterwards. "Stop crying Max, please, you're too strong to cry."
I stifled my tears as best as I could before finally lifting my head to meet those unfathomable blue eyes of his. He slowly produced small smile, a miniscule offering of the apologies that would take a while to meet my high quota.
Deciding to forgive him for at least a moment, I kissed him deeply, letting him know and understand how much I had been hurting in that past month. He responded with just as much hurt, almost greater than mine. I found his confusion, worry and anger ebb through the kiss and away to be lost forever in the void of unneeded emotion.
"I love you so much, Iggy," I breathed as we broke away from the kiss.
"I love you so much more, Max, more than you could ever imagine."
"Did my letter find you?" I had wondered if he was nearby, perhaps after seeing the post with my letter.
"Well, it definitely didn't go undelivered." He smiled and kissed me once more.
