Okay, this is my second fanfic and if you have read my other one, or are reading it, don't worry, I'm not stopping it. I just wanted to do a story where Max and Fang are close and don't live in dorms. =]
So, hope you like it, and I know it's been done lots of times, but I just wanted to write it. And it's all human by the way, I'm not good with anything else.
Max pov
Why does my best friend have to make a band with my brother? I mean, come on, my best friend and my brother aren't meant to get along, even if they're both guys. I don't care. It's not right.
I told this to Fang, my best friend.
"What's so bad about it? Me and Iggy were best friends before you moved here."
Okay, if you're confused, let me explain.
My name is Maximum Ride. I have a brother, Iggy, and a sister, Ella. My group of friends consists of Fang, Iggy, Ella (yes my sister is one of my closest friends) and Nudge. I live with my mum. My dad got this big science job and had to move, we didn't go with him.
My mum changed back to her last name when Dad and her divorced. Yeah, she didn't want to be married to a man who lived half-way across the world and could cheat on you anytime he wanted. Me and Iggy kep
Anyway, if you still don't get it, you'll figure it out on the way.
"I don't care, but it's still weird for me. But whatever, it's your choice." I shrugged; I didn't like arguing with him.
"Thanks Max." He grinned.
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever."
He laughed. "Well, I gotta go. Mum's going out tonight so I gotta watch Angel and Gazzy."
I nodded and hugged him before he left. When I knew Fang was out of hearing distance, I grabbed my guitar from where I hide it in my wardrobe. Nobody apart from me, myself and my mother knew that I played guitar and sang. I played chords randomly, relaxing myself.
I kept doing this until a song came into my head.
I never could have seen this far Why is everything so hard In a perfect world I used to think that I was strong I wish that I could bring you back In a perfect world I don't know what I should do now In a perfect world You feel nothing,
I never could have seen this coming
It seems like my world is falling apart
Yeah
I don't think that I can deal with the things you said
They just won't go away
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no sense
I could just pick up the pieces
But to you this means nothing,
Nothing at all
Until the day it all went wrong
I think I need a miracle to make it through
Yeah
I wish that I could turn back time
'Cause I can't let go
I just can't find my way
Yeah
Without you I just can't find my way
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no sense
I could just pick up the pieces But to you
this means nothing, Nothing at all
I don't know where I should go
I'm still here waiting for you
I'm lost when you're not around
I need to hold on to you
I just can't let you go
Yeah, yeah
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no sense
I could just pick up the pieces
But to you this means nothing,
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
I finished the last line and quickly put my guitar back. I sighed and sat on my bed, messing around with the black and white quilt cover. I plugged my iPod into the dock and turned it up. It started blaring music and I grinned as 'Suicide Sunday' by The Friday Night Boys came on. I started singing along and dancing around.
My phone buzzed, announcing I had a new text.
Hey Max, wanna have a movie night tonight? Invite Igs Ella & Nudge –Fang
I rolled my eyes and went to my door. "Can I sleep at Fang's tonight, Mum?" I shouted down the stairs.
"Sure, that's fine with me." Came Mum's reply.
"Can Iggy and Ella come too?" I shouted back.
"If it's alright with them!" She shouted back to me.
I got my phone out and replied to Fang.
Coming now, just gotta get some stuff and the guys –Max
I quickly rang Nudge. "Hey Nudge, wanna come for a movie night tonight? It's at Fang's."
"OMG! Awesome! It will be so fun! I'll just go ask now!" There was a break from the talking for a couple of seconds. "Sure! It's all fine. I'll be there soon!"
"Bye Nudge." I chuckled and hung up.
I ran to Iggy's room. "Igs! Wanna have a movie night at Fang's tonight?" He nodded and got up from his bed.
I walked to Ella's room and opened the door. "Ella, wanna have a movie night at Fang's?" She grinned and nodded. I quickly exited from her pink room and ran to mine. I grabbed a small bag. I stuffed my choice of movie in there and ran down to the kitchen.
"Can I bring some food?" I asked Mum.
"Sure, honey." She smiled as I grabbed some popcorn and lollies. I was about to go to the lounge room where Ella and Iggy were waiting when I quickly grabbed some chocolate too. I grinned as Mum rolled her eyes.
We reached Fang's house in about a minute. He only lives down the street.
Ella knocked on the door and Fang opened it. "Hey guys." He smiled.
We all replied with "Hey", "Hi" or the "Hey man" from Iggy.
We all filed into the living room and started talking, waiting for Nudge. She came two minutes later. I got the door and smiled when I heard Nudge talking just as I started to open the door. When I had it fully open, my hand came over Nudge's mouth. "We don't need to go deaf before we're 20 Nudge." I laughed.
She rolled her eyes and nodded. I released my hand and Nudge poked her tongue out.
I grabbed the lollies, chocolate and popcorn out of my bag before I got the dvd out. I chucked the food on the floor and stood up. "Okay, I have my movie. Everybody picks one each." Iggy and Ella got out a movie each from their bags. Fang walked over to the cabinet with Gazzy and Angel to choose one. Nudge got out about seven from her bag.
"One movie only Nudge." I sighed.
"But I like them all! They are all such amazing movies! I mean, come on-"
She was cut off by Iggy. I smiled gratefully at him.
Fang, Angel and Gazzy walked back over.
"Okay, guys, lets watch Angel and Gazzy's movies first." I smiled sweetly at them.
"Mine first! Can we watch mine first! Pleeeeease!" Gazzy begged.
I nodded and he handed Fang 'Transformers'. Fang put the movie into the dvd player and we all settled down to watch the movie.
Iggy and Nudge took the loveseat. Gazzy and Ella took the recliners while Fang, Angel and I were on the couch.
After 'Transformers' was finished, Angel handed Fang 'The Jungle Book.' He smiled and put in for her, while Angel snuggled into my lap. I smiled and sat back to watch the movie.
After that, Fang's mum came in and said it was time for Angel and Gazzy to go to bed. Everybody said goodnight and we decided it was time for Ella's movie. She'd picked 'Mean Girls'. I sighed and put my feet up on Fang's lap, getting comfortable for one of the most boring movies ever. I don't know why Ella likes it so much. I didn't complain though, we always made sure that we didn't complain about each others choice of movie, no matter how much we disliked or hated it.
Nudge had chosen 'Win a Date with Tad Hamilton'. I really didn't like this movie either. Oh well, rules are rules.
It was about midnight but nobody cared. We always ended up staying up all night. It was Iggy's turn for the movie choice. He'd picked 'Iron Man'. I rolled my eyes when he told us.
Next up was my turn. I'd chosen 'Tomb Raider'. It's an amazing movie. I love Angelina Jolie.
Fang's turn was almost always last, and guess what sort of movies he picked? Horror.
This time, he's chosen 'Arachnophobia'.
You wouldn't believe how scary that movie is. It was about 6am so instead of going to sleep and having nightmares, I chose to sit up and talk with everybody else who hadn't gone to sleep, which left me, Fang and Iggy.
"So, school starts soon." Iggy started.
"Three days." I replied, sighing.
Fang nodded.
"Man, why don't you talk more often?" Iggy groaned at Fang. "It would make understanding you so much easier."
I chuckled and rolled my eyes. "It's fine with me."
"Yeah, but you guys are like, connected, you understand each other with just a look. For the rest of us, we have no idea what's going on in your little silent conversations. It's really irritating." Iggy threw his hands in the air.
I laughed and Fang drew almost half a smile, for him, that's almost rolling on the floor in laughter.
After a minute of comfortable silence, I spoke up. "So what are you going to get Nudge for her birthday, guys?" I asked, looking at both of them.
Iggy was suddenly interested in his feet.
Fang replied almost instantly. "I'm getting her a gift card."
I turned to Iggy. "Igs?"
Iggy slowly looked up to slowly meet my eyes. "Well…I…I'm getting…" He took a deep breath. "I'm getting her a necklace."
I bit my lip. "Is there something you're not telling me?"
He nodded slightly. I sighed. "Iggy. Do you like Nudge?"
He nodded again.
I rolled my eyes but turned serious. "If you hurt her, I swear you will never be able to have kids. But," I sighed. "I think she likes you too."
Fang was looking between Iggy and me. He shrugged. "Good luck."
I turned to him. "Wow, two words!" I laughed.
He rolled his eyes and pushed me over. I poked my tongue out at him. Iggy had gotten over his embarrassment and pushed Fang over. It turned into an all-out tickling and pushing war.
Okay, with my summary of my life before, I forgot some things.
Me, Iggy and Fang are 14. Ella and Nudge are 12. Gazzy is 10. Angel is 8. Umm…I think that's all I forgot to mention. If there's more, I'll explain when we get there.
