~ Maximum Ride's PoV ~

"Where is she?" I asked once more, as I waited for my Flock to tell me where Izzy went to. I didn't care that Izzy was my age, if not younger or older, I just cared for her safety.

"She left us, Max. Okay? And you need to leave to." Angel said, as she stood up, standing in front of me.

"Where-what?" I say as what she spoke finally dug into my brain. She wants me gone?

"Leave Max. You are causing to much trouble here. You're supposed to be our leader, but you are to busy kissing Fang. Leave." Angel said, keeping her ground.

I felt my heart break, "Is this how everyone else feels?" I ask with my face stoic. When no one answered, I walked out, flying away.

~ Izzy's PoV~

I smiled at Liam as he lent me some of his clothes, "Here you do, love. You can shower in there, we'll have some food ready for you when you're done." Liam says with a smile, handing my some clothes.

"Thank you, Liam, it means a lot that you are willing to help a stranger." I say taking the clothes, and standing up.

He chuckled, "Actually, it was Harry who wanted to talk to you, to see if you were fine. He saw how you helped that man, it actually. . .well it actually touched all our hearts." his cheeks heated up lightly, forming a small blush.

I smiled at him, "Don't be embarrased, love, thank you, and if it weren't for the fact that I was really dirty, and possibly stink a bit, I'd definitely hug you; all of you lads." I say with a slight chuckle, "I'm goin' to go an' take a shower, I'll be out soon."

"Take as long as you need. . ." he breathed out, looking dazzled. I giggled and went into the bathroom, turning on the shower head as I undressed so that it would heat up. Once undressed I stepped into the shower, wetting my hair before adding some shampoo I knew to be one of the lads.

I scrubbed it into my hair, soap suds mixing into my dirty hair. I couldn't stay, that was for sure. Something about them just. . .it just. . just gave off an aura of popularity, and if my sense is right; I couldn't stay. Though, I don't think I should either way. I could bring so much danger to these people, and the lads, Niall, Harry, Zayn, Liam, and Louis, I didn't want to hurt them.

I sighed to myself as I rinsed out the shampoo, feeling the soap and water running down my body helping to rid dirt I had. As I added conditioner I kept thinking of everything that happened. That man with red eyes. Zayn, Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall, them being something called One Direction. Why did they truly take me in? And, why did that man have red eyes?

Was he another experiment that the white coat made? I sighed running a hand through my wet hair, I grabbed a whatever you call those scubby things, and added some body soap, washing off my body. I finally finished, turning off the shower, and then twisting my hair so that some water would come out.

I got a towel that I had been given when Liam handed my clothes, and dried off. I then began to wonder how the Flock were doing, if Max had gotten kicked out. I still couldn't believe Angel had done such a thing, someone who had taken care of her, the one who rescued her so many times not caring of her own life.

It angered me so much that Angel did that, not to mention, how the Flock hadn't disagreed. "What have you done, Angel?" I whispered softly. I sighed and put on the large socks that had belonged to Liam. Hey, I have small feet. I walked out of the bathroom and into the main room.

I stopped walking and closed my eyes, what the times where I didn't have to worry. Where Fang and I could easily talk, easier than Max and he could. I felt a tear slip down my cheek. I felt arms wrap around my waist and I was pulled into someone's arms. "Are you okay, love?" some voice said.

I opened my eyes, and saw Zayn, "Yeah, just. . .just wishing I wasn't the way I was." I say laughing forcefully.

"No one's perfect, love, no one. Trust me, I have from our fans, even read a fan fiction about me and some girl, the author made me out perfect, that's something I'm not. Neither are you, love, but that doesn't mean people don't see you that way." Zayn says kissing my cheek.

I chuckled, "You sound like a girl." I say with a laugh.

"I'm just glad it worked, I wanted to see a smile on your gorgeous face, but I guess a laugh will sufice." he says smiling.

I grinned shaking my head, before hugging him, and buring my head in the crook of his neck, "Thank you." I whispered, kissing his kneck and pulling away.

"Anytime, Lucy, anytime, love." he says, grabbing my hand and leading me to the dining room. I smiled at all the boys, and after hours of talking it was time for bed. Harry let me lay with him, and as soon as we were situated Zayn wrapped his arms around my waist, luckily he had sweats on, well the bottoms of them at least.

I turned in his arms and smiled softly at Zayn, "Thank you, Zayn. . . you made me feel so normal today." I said and he smiled back.

"It's no problem at all, Lucy." he replied kissing my cheek, I smiled and we laid together, him falling asleep long before I. Finally darkness did come, and I welcomed it.

[A/n; Yay! So what do you think of the whole Zayn and Izzy bonding?
What do you want to happen? Let's just say, this will be interesting, Especially know that
