Once again, Thank You Reviewers! You all rock I have 20 reviews so far! I decided that my goal was a little high so I changed it to 50 reviews by Chapter 12. So, in the story Max isn't sure if she is developing feelings for Fang or if she's still getting over her feelings for Sam. If you are confused, TELL ME! Oh, and in this chapter I've finally included Dylan. I would've updated sooner, but school's been keeping me busy, but today, we were release early because of SNOW! Thank you, mother nature.
MAX POV
the day before Paris
The whole gang and I were at the club setting up our equipment.
I felt Fang's heated gaze the whole time, searing though the back of my head.
I was plugging my guitar to the amplifier when Dylan walked up to me.
"Hey Max"
"Hmm? Oh, hey. What's up"
"I was wondering if you were doing okay, you know, after the whole Sam thing"
"I'm doing fine,thanks for asking" I replied. I knew what he was doing he was trying to see if I'd gotten over Sam, so he could ask me out.
Not.
Going.
To.
Happen.
"Good, you don't know how glad I am to hear that"
I bet I do.
"Thanks"
He walked away and I felt someone else tap on my shoulder.
I turned around and saw Ella grinning at me.
"Was he trying to ask you out again?"
"No, he asked me if I'd gotten over Sam yet?"
Her eyes widened, but she was still grinning.
"He really wants to date you"
I put on a face of mock suprise.
"Really? What gives you that idea? Maybe its because he's been asking me on dates since eighth grade." I say sarcastically.
Ella face changed to confused," You rejected him for like, forever. Why does he keep asking you out?"
I was getting irritated but I answered anyway, "I don't know! Maybe he thinks that someday my feelings will magically change and then then we'll get married and live in Venice together. How am I supposed to know what he's thinking."
She smiled nervously noticing that I was getting annoyed.
"I'll see you later" she says waving and leaves to go "talk" to Iggy.
Fang POV
She's so beautiful. The way her silky brown hair swished from side to side and the way her eyes swirled like melted chocolate.
But she's so stubborn.
She doesn't listen to anyone or ask for help.
She's so independent. Too independent.
She didn't even want to tell me what was wrong yesterday.
I watched her talking to Dylan (who was, no doubt, asking her on a date).
And then Ella.
I watched Max's face as it changed from relieved to mock surprise and then annoyance.
Ella walked away.
Max clapped her hands, "Alright guys! This is our last performance of the summer. We won't have another 'till school starts. Lets knock their socks off!"
We all took our positions and the curtain went up.
Max spoke into the microphone, " Hey guys! We're going to start off with Need You Now by Lady Antebellum"
Bold is Fang italics are Max
Picture perfect memories, scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
Woah, woah
Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now, I just need you now
Oh baby, I need you now
I took a deep breath.
We went through the rest of our songs: According to You by Orianthi, Rush by Aly and AJ, and we even sang Tik Tok by Kesha.
We ended the night by singing Two is Better Than One by Boys Like Girls.
It was one of my favorites.
Not only did I get to lead instead of Max, but it perfectly modeled my life and how I felt about her.
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought, hey
You know this could be something
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing
So maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes, the way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing
That maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought, hey
Maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking, ooh
I can't live without you
'Cause baby, two
Is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
But I figured out with all that's said and done
Two is better than one
Two is better than one
I carefully glanced at Max, who was trying not to hyperventilate.
What's wrong with her?
I saw her glance back at me, catching my eyes and then immediately turning away.
"So, thats all for tonight. We'll be in Paris until school starts so I hope you guys have a great summer. Goodnight!"
The crowd started to clap and cheer.
The curtains closed.
And everyone started packing up.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Dylan talking to Max again.
I gritted my teeth.
MAX POV
"You want to go out for dinner sometime?" asked Dylan, his face radiating with hope.
I tried to let him down easy," I'm sorry Dylan. After what happened with Sam... I'm just not ready to be in a relationship yet."
"Oh," he replied his face dropping,"Right, so I'll see you tomorrow at the airport?"
"You bet you will" I said, trying not to seem too irritated.
He left and soon everybody else started to leave, until only Fang and I were left.
He leaned against the wall as I packed up my guitar.
I slung my bag over my shoulder and looked at him.
His expression showed no emotion whatsoever.
We walked outside in silence, we hadn't spoken to each other since yesterday.
Fang had come on his motorcycle since it was so hot out.
"Umm, I need a ride home." I asked, worried that he might not respond.
He glanced at me, his onyx eyes bore into my skin.
It seemed like forever before he answered," I'll drop you off."
He got on his motorcycle and silently waited for me to get on too.
I got on and he gave me a helmet.
I put it on and watched him put his own on.
"You might want to hold on" he said, his voice carefully hiding his emotions.
I hesitated but I wrapped my arms around him anyway.
The whole way, I could lightly feel his six pack through the thin fabric of his shirt.
Once we had gotten to my house , I got of said bye, waving.
I turned around to leave but Fang stopped me.
"Max... I-I, wait."
I turned around.
"Max, I don't know why you're acting like this, and I'm not going to ask why either. I just want to go back to the way we were" his voice was quiet.
I took a deep breath,"I'm sorry. This whole Sam thing is really messing me up. I want to go back to the way we were before too."
"Good. And like I said, I know you can find someone better than him"
At this point, I was fighting tears.
I smiled lightly and Fang smiled back.
Maybe things aren't going to be so bad between us.
Okay, so this was a long chapter, but I thought it was pretty good. I could really use some constructive critisism. ITS STILL SNOWING!
