If We Were Famous

by Rockelgriffiths14

What if all our favorite Maximum Ride characters were famious. See what happens when Max and Fang meet and try to live together through being famous. Summery sucks, this is my first fanfiction so sorry if the story is awful.

1. Chapter 1

So here I am walking down the streets of New York City in the middle of January freezing my but off. Let me give you some insight.

So my name is Maximum Ride but my stage name is Maxine Martinez. I'm staying in New York until my next album is done. Yes you heard me right, I'm a pop star. Technically I sing alone but my best friends Monique (Nudge) and Crystal (Angel) do the instruments and back up singing. Except guitar that is still my thing. We are here in New York staying in a fancy shmancy hotel. I was at the recording studio today. I went alone to work on some lyrics and vocals. Being the stupid Max that I am, I didn't call a limo and I brought NO money to call a cab with. Now I'm freezing my butt off walking back to my hotel.

I was just thinking about how stupid I am when something bumped into me and sent me to the ground. Instead of the normal 'watch where your going' you usually get from New Yorkers I heard a smooth deep voice say "Oops, sorry about that." It looked like who ever it was was trying to cover there face but I got a clear view of it when he extended his hand down to help he up.

Nick Walker. He is part of the band 'The Flock' they are very popular right now and the band consists of four members. Nick Walker, lead guitarist and vocalist for the group. James Night, bass player. Zephyr Night, drummer. And Ari Brooks, back up guitar. I didn't even know they were in New York.

"Hey aren't you Maxine Martinez?" He asked me while I was thinking.

"Oh, uh, yah. Aren't you Nick Walker?" I ask.

"It depends. Are you going to shout my name and freak out?" I am actually really attuned to famous people and I have never gotten star stuck before.

"No." I reply simply.

"Ok, then yes, I am Nick Walker." He says. I hear a group of girls from around the corner scream Nicks name.

"Oh god. Not this again." He whines. Trust me I get it, fame is cool and all but after a while it just get annoying. Right before the fan girls can see either of us I pull us into an alley, the girls run past and don't even bother us. Probably because they were to busy screaming to look into the alley.

It is only after all the girls are gone I realize how close we are standing to each other. I look up into his obsidian eyes with my chocolate brown ones. He gives me a smirk and my cheeks turn pink. I pull us out of the alley. Before I can walk away Nick grabs my wrist.

"Wait. Can I buy you a coffee for knocking you over?" He asks.

"Uh sure I guess. Why?" Why does he want to buy me a coffee. It's not like he's star struck, he is a celebrity too.

"I don't know. You seem... Different. Most celebrity's aren't real, at all. Your just different, I guess like would like to get to know you." He seemed really sweat. So I agreed to go with him .

"Ok, I know this really great coffee shop down the road from here." I tell him. He nods and we start to walk. After a while I decided to try to start a conversation.

"I didn't know that you were in town." I told him. He looked at me for a second before flipping some of his dark black hair out of his eyes.

" yah, my band and I are recording here before we do our first consent here." He replies to me. "What are you doing here?" He continues.

"Uh I played time square on New Years, now we are recording my next album." I tell him. He nods.

"We are here." I tell him as I indicate to the coffee shop right in front of us. He holds the door open and I walk inside as I pull my hood over my head so as not to be noticed. There's not that many people here but you can never be to careful. Nick follows my lead and puts the hood of his black jacket up before walking with me to the cashier.

"May I take your order?" The cashier asks while we try to hid our faces.

"A peppermint frappuccino please." We both say at the same time. He turns to me and grins, it lights up his face and I smile back at him.

"That will be $6.68 please" I dig into my pocket before remembering I don't have any money. Nick puts his hand on my hand before saying "please, let me pay." I would refuse, but I have no money so I let him pay for me. We get our drinks and sit in a booth across from each other.

"So Maxine." Nick starts.

"Call me Max, Maxine is just a stage name." I tell him.

"Oh well then what is you real name then?" He questions.

"Maximum Delilah Ride. Is Nick Walker your stage name?" I question.

"Yah my whole band and I just use stage names."

"Well then what are your real names?" I ask.

"I'm Nicholas Fang Walker but call me Fang, James is Iggy, Zephyr is Gazzy, and Ari is actually just Ari. So others who preform with you? Are those stage names?" Ni- uh I guess Fang questioned.

"Yah. Monique is actually Nudge and Crystal is Angel." I tell him. He nods.

"So how did you start your courier in this biz?" He asks me.

"Well, when I was really young I picked up piano, guitar, flute, saxophone, violin, basically any instrument I could get my hand on and then I was forced to take choir in 8th grade and we sung at a baseball game, I had I big solo. A record producer heard it and offered me record deal. My friends and I were kind of a package deal so he gave them a spot too. So how did you get here?" I ask.

"Well all of the guys and I have been best friends science... Forever actually. And we just started a band. Ari pulled a few strings and here we are I guess. Do you wanna play 20 questions?" He asks me I nod he starts.

"How old are you?"

"17" I tell him.

"Cool me too. Uh, what is your favorite color?" He asks.

"Topaz. Judging by your attire your favorite color is black no?" Fang was wearing all black, from his black hoodie to his black vans. He nods.

"Do you have any family?" He asks me. I rub my elbow with the opposite hand, uncomfortable with the question.

"Uh, yah. When I was younger my parents split up and then my brother died when I was 14." I tell him avoiding his eyes. Why did I just tell him that? I almost never talk to ANYBODY about my past let alone strangers.

"Oh. God, I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked. I'm sorry." I laugh at his apology.

"No, you didn't kill him and you didn't now. It's ok, really. How about you? Do you have any family?" I ask.

"Nope." He says popping the "p" in his response. "Just some parents." He tells me.

We continue like this for a long time. Just talking to each other. We laugh and joke around. It feels like I have known him forever, like he was an old friend of mine and we are just catching up. My phone buzzes in my pocket and I know it's Nudge and Angel.

"Sorry." I tell Fang as I answer my phone.

"Hello?" I ask. Nudge's voice comes screaming through the phone.

"OMG were are you?!"

"Nudge, shhh I'm fine really." I reassure her.

"Ok, but only as long as you are sure your ok, I mean Angel told me that you were probably ok. I just wanted to make sure because it is getting late and we were worried about you. Not that you can't take care of yourself because you and my nose have already decided that you can." I think about the time I broke Nudge's nose because she said I was week. Nudge continues to ramble on and on.

"Nudge! I'm fine I will be home eventually and then I will tell you where I was." I tell her.

"Ok, bye!" She yells before hanging up the phone.

"Dear god that girl is going to kill me." I mumble to myself before returning to Fang.

"It's getting late. May I walk you home?" He asks me. I love how he asks me, he doesn't just insist. His eyes glisten and his face shows a small smirk. He is soooo freaking cute! Wait forget I said that.

"Yah! Sure lets go." Fang throws away our coffee cups that were empty long before we stopped talking. We walk out of the caffe and Fang follows me down the street. I turn into an alley and walk to the back of our hotel. There is a back entrance there, that was I don't have too walk through all the press outside. I stop out side the door and look at Fang.

"Thanks really. For every thing. I don't get to be out much but this was perfect." I tell him.

"Yah. Do you wanna exchange number so that we can talk to each other again soon?" He asks. Honestly I was really hopping that he would say something like that. I really like Fang, he makes me feel like Max the person not Max the superstar. He is really down to earth, a lot more then some of the other singers I have met are. I pull out my phone and Fang hands me his. I add my name as Max and my cell number. He does the same and we pass our phones back. "Ok, I will see you around I guess." I say.

"Yep, bye Max." I smile.

"Bye Fang." He walks away and I slip into the hotel. I go up to the top floor and unlock the door with my key. I walk into our penthouse and hear Nudge's voice immediately.

"Omg! Where have you been? Why do you look so happy? Did we miss any chocolate? Max how could you!?"

"Nudge!" I yelled over her. "I didn't get any chocolate and I am really happy." I tell her.

"Why?" Angels voice drifts over. I am fully smiling now.

"I bumped into this boy on the streets walking home. He offered to buy me a coffee and we ended up talking all day. He is really sweet, dreamy, awesome, laid back, and just perfect." I tell them.

"Wow Max, that's really amazing! What is his name?" Angel asks me.

"Fang. But the world knows him as Nick Walker." I tell them I cover my eyes because I know Nudge is going to freak.

"OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! Max he is the hottest rock star on the planet! Fate must love you!" She screams at me once I know that she is done I take my hands off my ears and look at Nudge and Angel before shrugging and walking into my room.

I pick um my guitar and do what all the greats do when they have inspiration, sit and wait until something half way decent pops into your head then right it down. After about two hours I had almost a full song written. I played it one more time for my self strumming out the guitar.

(Paradise)
Whooo-oooo-oo
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach so
She ran away in her sleep
And dreamed of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
Whooo-ooo-oo
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel brakes the the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night
She'll close her eyes
In the night the stormy night
Away she'd fly
And dreams of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Whooo-ooo-oo
She'd dream of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Whooo-ooo-oo
And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She'd say " whooo-ooo-oo I know the sun must set to rise."
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Whooo-ooo-oo
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Whooo-ooo-oo
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Whooo-ooo-oo
Whooo-ooo-oo
Whooo-ooo-oo

I strum the last cord and smile at my new song. My phone buzzes on my leg and I look at it eagerly. The text reads

Hey. U free tomorrow around noonish? I was wondering if you wanted to come over.
-Fang.

I reply quickly.

Sounds like fun. So you will be here around noon? To pick me up I mean.

He replies almost instantly just like I had.

Yep see u then.

I put my phone away and walk into the kitchen. Nudge and Angel are sitting n the couch eating bowls of cereal and chit chatting. I make myself a bowl and sit on the chair by the couch.

"Hey Max!" Nudge greets me. I smile back at her. After we finish our bowls of cereal I do the dishes and walk down the hall towards the room I'm sleeping in. I take a shower and put on a tank top and long pajama pants before climbing into bed and setting my alarm. I fall asleep with Fang on my mind.
