AN: *says in creepy voice* I'm baaaaccckkkk! *Ahem* But in all seriousness, here's the next chapter. Hope you enjoy! R&R!
And, sadly, I don't own MR. If I did, the ending of FANG would never have happened. I'm still ticked off about that.
(Fang's POV)
Dad told Max that they, well, I guess we, should continue playing at the club, to keep up our local fan base. Max agreed, but I'm pretty sure it was for different reasons. She loved our fans, and loved playing at the club, along with the others. I'd never played there, but I loved watching The Flock rock out on stage.
"Hey guys! What's up?" Max yelled into the microphone. A whole bunch of people cheered, probably ninety percent of the people there. "I've got two important things to tell you guys. First, as those of you who know us may have noticed, we kicked Damon out of the band. He was starting to get annoying, and he cared more about the fame than the band."
"Plus, he was a cheating loser." I added.
Max rolled her eyes, but smirked at me and nodded. "So, we replaced him with Fang here. Trust me, you guys will love him. Our next big news is that we got offered a record deal by the Venom Recording Company!" Max shouted excitedly. The crowd went nuts. "Thanks. We wanted our local fan base to be the first ones to know. Thanks for coming out, and I hope you enjoy the show! We'll be starting out with 'Animal I Have Become'."
Max nodded to Blade, who started playing. Then Max joined in, then me, then the others. Then Max started singing.
I can't escape this hell.
So many times I've tried.
But I'm still caged inside.
Then she got a little louder, our playing a little more aggressive.
Somebody get me through this nightmare.
I can't control myself.
So what if you can see
The darkest side of me?
No one will ever change
This animal I have become.
Help me believe
It's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame
This animal.
(This animal. This animal.) Everyone except for Max sang that part. The she started again, going back to the normal tone.
I can't escape myself.
(I can't escape myself.) Blade did the repeats.
So many times I've lied.
(So many times I've lied.)
But there's still rage inside.
She got louder and more angry again. She had an expression of anger and pain on her face. I remember when she wrote this song. It was a few weeks after her mom married her step-dad. She'd felt so trapped and angry that she vented it out with this song.
Somebody get me through this nightmare.
I can't control myself.
So what if you can see
The darkest side of me?
No one will ever change
This animal I have become.
Help me believe
It's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame
This animal I have become.
Help me believe
It's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame
This animal.
Somebody help me through this nightmare.
I can't control myself.
Somebody wake me from this nightmare.
I can't escape this hell.
Max held out her not, and everyone but Abby stopped playing. The band repeated "This animal." seven times, in the middle of which, Max started playing again. Then everything stopped except for her playing and singing.
So what if you can see
The darkest side of me?
No one will ever change
This animal I have become.
Everyone else joined in.
Help me believe
It's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame
This animal I have become.
Help me believe
It's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame
This animal.
(This animal I have become.)
Max ended it with this sort of solo thing. The others kept playing, but you could hear her instrument above theirs. The crowd burst into cheers and I grinned. "Alright, now, here's Fang with a little song that I helped write for his girlfriend called 'Diary'." Max said, then I took her place at the lead mike. I spotted J.J. in the crowd and smirked. She had no idea what was coming up. She was looking at me with this sparkle in her eye.
I read your diary
And it said
I heard people gasp at my voice, and I had to keep myself from smirking. After all, stage presence was a lot. It showed people it came from the heart. And, right now, I was the hurt lover.
That you weren't in love with me
And you're leaving.
And I wish I didn't see
That you fell in love with him, him, him.
But I read your diary.
I saw a book wit a lock and key right next to your name.

And I wish I didn't see
That you fell in love with him, him, him.
But I read your diary.

But I read your diary.
Oh, oh, oh
Your diary.
Oh, oh, oh
Your diary.
After I was done, everyone cheered, including the members of the band. Even Max clapped for me and said, "Well done." That made me happy. Maybe it was because she was the leader, but I'd wanted to make her happy and proud to have me in the band more than anyone. Maybe it was because we'd been best friends for so long, but I wanted her approval more than anyone else's. I looked at J.J. She was the only one not cheering, even her posse was cheering for me. But she was staring at me in open-mouthed shock.
I gave her a wicked grin. "It's over, J.J. I figured you out. At least now you won't have a tortured conscience when you sleep with Damon next time. I heard a bunch of people gasp, then everyone was glaring at J.J. She gave me her signature we are so talking about this later look. "Bye!" I shouted after her as she stomped out of the room, her posse quickly following her. But many of them turned and gave me flirty smiles, or winked. But I'd learned my lesson. I wasn't dating that kind of girl again.
We sang some more songs before calling it quits. A bunch of fans came up to us after we were done to tell us how much they loved our music, and to congratulate us on the record deal. It was good to be part of the band. It felt…right somehow. As far as my first public performance went, I'd have to say it was a pretty good night.
