Alright Suprise Suprise we updated again, she sent me the chapter the day I stayed home sick! Yay for awesome editors! Onto the story!
Chapter 4
"Do you remember last
year when you told your story to a man in a black trench coat, who gave you 40 bucks?"
"Yeah? That was you?" I ask. He nods, stands up, walks over to the closet, and pulls out a box, he opens it, pulls out 4 file folders and puts the box back.
"Nick, also known as Fang" he reads aloud and hands it too me.
"Maximum, as known as Max." Her name makes my heart flutter. Jeez I sound like a frootloop.
"Nathan, also known as Iggy. Elizabeth also known as Ella" I smile, someone finally understands that Fang is what I like to be called.
"Inside these are the things you need. And a key to the band room. Next question before you open those, would you like to be in a band? It's a limit of four people for now."
"Hell yes!" Max blurts out.
"Sure, I'm cool." I say after her.
"Yeah!" Ella says happily.
"Sure" Iggy says shakily.
"Great. Oh and after school, I'll drive you two back to the apartment to pick up your stuff."
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"Follow me" He leads the four of us into the band room. We walk into the hallway, open a door, and we go down some stairs. We pass a few instruments in storage and reach rooms. Four of them have our names on doors: Max, Fang, Iggy, and Ella.
"Go check em' out kids" he says.
I walk into mine; it has pale blue walls and black wood floors. Along with a desk, chair, bed, dresser, and alarm clock. There are blankets on the bed. I walk over to the desk and sit down; I go through the drawers and find a drawer full of blank sheet music, an iPod loaded with music, a drawer full of pens and pencils, a few hand sharpeners, and a drawer full of regular supplies. I open the keyboard slot where a computer keyboard would usually be and instead of that there is an electronic keyboard (piano). I close everything, set the file on the desk.
It had a picture of me at age 8. A week before I ditched foster homes for good. He had most of the information filled out, everything but who my parents are, and where they live.
I stuffed the folder into the drawer and walked out of the room slinging my backpack over my shoulder.
I walk down the stairs coughing, am I getting sick? Doubt it, I never get sick. Detention on the first day of school thats a new one. I walk up too Iggy's door, and knock. "You alright dude?" I asked. I heard a squeak on the mattress.
"Yeah man I'm good." He shouted back.
I hear a girlish voice say "ow, that hurt" as I walk away. 'That better not be Max.' I think to myself. I get to her door and raise a fist to knock on it. I knock softly and the door opens to reveal Max.
She blushes softly and pulls me inside. I look around her room, it's a tad brighter but other than that it's the same. I lie down on her bed and put my hands behind my head.
"Hey Max" I say softly.
"Hey…" she looks sort of pale.
"You ok? You look kind of pale"
"Nope….." I sit up worried.
"What's wrong?" I silently hope she's ok.
"Nothing it's just, nothing."
My hands start to tremble. I want her to feel better. It's like I've known her longer than this morning.
I stand and hug her, tight. Max buries her head in my shoulder.
"Bad dreams" she whimpers.
"Me too, tell me about them?" I ask softly.
She nods, "In the dream. I have wings, and I'm all bloody. I am running from wolf men. And I jump off a cliff and fly away." Her voice fades and my eyes are wide.
I use my finger to lift her chin. "I have those dreams too, but I'm watching you instead." I say quietly.
I lean down and kiss her forehead. "You're not alone."
