A/N
Hello, my lovelies! It's been waaaaay to long. My bitchy laptop decided that it hated me and wouldn't let me get on FFN! Then Christmas came (Merry Christmas by the way) and I couldn't get time to myself and my laptop to do it. Blaim homework as well. Sorry for those who are waiting for Interviewing the Flock! I actually did write it but then my laptop deleted it. :/ Then test came, homework, writing this (because I couldn't help myself), ect. Yes, I realized this song probably has nothing to do with the story (at the moment) but, what ever. At least it's good (or at least that's what you guys say). Is there any grammar mistakes? I doubt it, but better safe than sorry!
Special thanks to...*drum roll* SilenceIsGolden15 fro being my lil' editor! :) If you like angst, go check her out!

This is a sign of the times
Max sighed. Someone must of hacked the school's speakers and plugged in Three Days Grace music. Again.
Another mountain to climb
Nudge grinned at her achievement. Hacking electronics came so naturally to her and she thought the school needed a little more music...
The sun burns as hot as the flame in the devil's eyes
Iggy squinted his eyes as he stared at the sun. His ophthalmologist said he was going blind, so he didn't care if looking into the sun damaged his eyes. It wouldn't make a difference.
This is a sign of the times
Fang saw a girl he'd never seen before with dirty blonde hair wearing black skinny jeans, a Three Days Grace tee shirt. Probably a nobody, he thought. Fang was one of the popular people. He never felt like he belonged in the popular group, but it was that or he was a nobody like that girl. She was pretty though.
Another mountain to climb
Angel and Gazzy walked hand in hand while they walked together to pick up their older sister, Max. They listened to the music.
The sun burns as hot as the flame in the devil's eyes
A little black Scottie stopped in front of the school, carrying trash in it's mouth. It ran away when a boy dressed in all black passed by. The little black Scottie watch the boy look at the little boy and girl, both with dirty blonde hair, standing there, hand in hand.
There's chaos on the rise
The sky is raining knives
We have mistaken
The toll that is taken on you and I
You and I
You and I
You and I
Max came running to the front of the school and saw her brother and sister, Gazzy and Angel, standing at the entrance. When she saw the boy dressed in black, she immediately recognized as one of the populars. She hated them. She'd rather have no friends than to become one of them. Then she laughed to herself as she thought about how she had no friends, but she didn't really care.
She glared at the boy dressed in black. He stared at her, then slowly walked away. She scoffed. So, he's not afraid of my glare? That's a first, Max thought bitterly. She smiled at her siblings and took Angel's hand as they walk to the hell hole of a "home".

Nudge skipped out of the office and caught up with her best friend, Ella. "Where's Iggy? I thought he'd be with you. I just realized something! He's always with you. Oh! I know! Maybe he liiiiikes you, Ella! Imagine-mmff.", Ella smacked Nudge's mouth. Nudge giggled as they walked out the door. They spotted Iggy staring at the sun. Ella slapped the tall, pale, strawberry blonde, blue-eyed boy's arm. The boy spun around.
"What?", Iggy asked. Ella glared at him. "You wanna be able to see for the a couple more months, don't you?", Ella sighed. Iggy just shrugged his shoulders and kicked a rock. The girls gossiped while Iggy silently walked next to them, kicking rocks as they walked along. When he looked up he saw a girl walking with two little kids, all with dirty blonde hair. That girl looked familiar to him.

Ari stared out the window from his bedroom. Oh, why did he have to get sick today? Today was the day he was going to ask out that hot loner chic named Max. All the other jocks said they'd look great together and that they agreed with her being hot. He grabbed grabbed his iPod of the drawer and played Sign of the Times by Three Days Grace. It was the only rock song he listened to. He skipped ahead to his favorite part of the song. Before it played, he carefully placed it in the dock.
"The oceans have gone dry. Venus is passing by. You and I. You and I. You and I", it played loud and clear threw the dock speakers and filled the room.
-OoO-
Every time Max walked into her house that she refused to call "home", she thought of the lyrics from the song, Signs of the Time, that was currently playing loudly at her school.
"There's chaos on the rise. The sky is raining knives. We have mistaken. The toll that is taken on you and I.", Max sang quietly as she walked through the door. Then, she spaced out.
-Flash back-
"Maxie, you know you can run, but you can't hide. Come out, come out, where ever you are!", Jeb said in a mocking tone. Max shivered. She shouldn't have tried to get away. He could hurt the twins or hurt her even worse than he was going to. She might as well show herself before the situation became worse. Max gulped and stepped out from under her bed.
Jeb saw her and gave her an evil smile. "Ah. You wanted to be a good little girl and show yourself, huh? Come here, Maxie-dearest!", he said as Max walked closer," Good girl." He drew a knife from his back pocket and slammed Max against the wall. "Maximum Ride, happy. Birth. Day.", Jeb said while carving the words 'slut', 'disgrace', 'burden' and 'ugly' and her stomach. Max cried as blood poured out of her like a river. Then he punched her senseless until she blacked out...
-End of flash back-
Angel snapped her out of her trance. Max shock her head. She really hoped Jeb wouldn't be home. To her happiness and surprise, there was a not sitting on the table, surrounded by beers. It read:
Dear bitch and the mini whores,
I won't be home for a week because I have some business to attend to. You better not fuck some guys, you bitchy little slut. I left ten bucks somewhere so you won't starve yourself. If you die, who will be left to torture?
Sincerely,
Daddy
Max scoffed at the note and tore it to pieces. "What did it say, Maxie?", Angel said quietly while hugging Max's leg softly. Max smiled at the little girl and said, "Jeb won't be home for a week, sweety. He also left us ten dollars. Do you guys want to go to McDonald's?"
The skinny twins' eyes lit up instantly and they hopped up and down in glee. Max smiled and looked around for the ten dollars. She found it on the couch that was also covered in beers. She then took the twins hands and walked to McDonald's.
I gave you what you need
Fang walked silently down the street to his house. He spotted that girl from before. Every time he saw her, the more beautiful she became, well at least to him. Then he remembered how she growled at him. She must not like populars. Oh, well.
I gave you what you need
You and
You and
You and
I gave what you need
Iggy and Ella dropped Nudge off at a white house. Nudge looked up to see her horrible older brother that was supposedly sick. Eww. He's only wearing his boxers. Oh, joy., Nudge thought as she quietly entered the house.

Iggy and Ella walked together in an awkward silence. Ella's so pretty., Iggy thought as he blushed a little bit. Ella seemed to notice and giggled a little bit.

The little black scottie saw everything that happened. In it's little brain, it processed what it thought would be the fate of these young teens. He scurried into the alley as a group of teens past by.
Not bad, huh? Well, tell me in the reviews if you want me to continue. Also tell me if you want me to include lyrics if i was to continue this oneshot. I hope you enjoyed! If you like hard rock and you haven't heard this song before (I memorized this song, practically), then look up Signs Of The Times by Three Days Grace. Again, thanks SilenceIsGolden15 for your help (you will probably say something among the lines of: Aww, CeCe. It was nothing!)! R&R and have a happy holiday!
