CHAPTER 9
We arrived in school just on time walking in together; Sir looked up at us as we walked in glaring as we made our way to the back.
"Thank you for gracing us with your presence finally. It is a great honour." Sir told us sarcastically
"It's all right sir, nice to know we're missed." Replied Iggy
The first two lessons went quickly History and Geography. I'm quite good at History though don't really care for it while I am very good at Geography; find it easy to be honest. I help Fang and Iggy knowing they weren't really that good at it. I was getting more and more excited wanting to get into Fangs band so much.
"My god Maximum you are practically jumping up and down in your chair." Said my Geography teacher Mrs Saxelby, she was like Mrs Daingre only a bit younger and with blacker hair.
"Sorry Miss. Just excited!" I replied
"About what if you don't mind me asking?"
"Umm... just gonna get auditioned for Fangs band. Sorry only me" I grinned making all the other girls moan
"Haha let's hope you get it then." Miss wished me well and the rest of the lesson flew by.
The bell went and I practically jumped out of my chair dragging Fang and Iggy with me, they walked painfully slowly toward music.
"Please walk faster!" I shouted pushing them.
"Whoa steady Max there is the rest of break."
"Yeah but I want this part of break!" I complained dragging them both into the music room, it is massive. There is a big cupboard which you can walk in full of instruments and stands, there are computers lining two walls and desks and chairs in the middle of the room. Some of the guys had moved a few tables and chairs so they were opposite one of the microphone stands.
"Hey Sir where's the voice recorder? I need it to record my singing for you." I called as he came out of another music room which was smaller
"Here it is Max." He said handing it to me "So what are these guys doing in here?"
"Oh as well as recording for you they are here to see whether I am a good singer and whether I could be in their band."
"Oh the band that played yesterday?"
"Yeah do you know how much money we got?" Asked Iggy
"Yes I do. It was just about three hundred pounds." Everyone cheered except for Dylan who just clapped. "Well I'll leave you lot to it I hope I can trust you."
"You can sir." We said
As he left I started setting out my microphone to the right height and Dec put the backing tracks into the CD player.
"All set?" Asked Dec
"Yeah right I'll tell you the order. First I'm gonna sing Issues, then How to Save a Life, then it'll be me and Fang singing you're The One That I Want." I said laughing at his expression "Then I think it's Hit Me with Your Best Shot, then According to you. So Dec I think it is track 4 on that CD okay?" I asked as he pressed play and the intro to Issues blasted out.
"Right here goes,"
"Oohh Yeah
Sometimes
I Feel like I'm going out of
My mind,
Boy the way you do me is a
damn crime,
But then you smile at me
and it's all right,
With you there aint nothin' in between,
Every time that I walk out the door,
Tell myself I can't take it no more,
There's a part of me won't let you go
Keep saying yes when my minds saying no,
Me and my heart we got issues,
Don't know if I should hate you or miss you,
Damn, I wish that I could resist you,
Can't decide if I should leave you or kiss you.
Me and my heart we got issues, issues, issues.
We got issues, issues, issues.
Its so wrong, boy you leave me hangin' for so long,
You empty out my love until it's all gone,
You change the words but still it's the same song,
I'm tired of the melody.
Change my number and throw out your clothes,
But my feelings for you, it still shows,
I keep building the walls round my heart,
But then I see you, and it all falls apart...
Me and my heart we got issues,
Don't know if I should hate you or miss you,
Damn, I wish that I could resist you,
Can't decide if I should leave you or kiss you.
Me and my heart we got issues, issues, issues.
We got issues, issues, issues.
Why fight it, can't hide it
Truth is I think I like it,
Confusion, illusions
still I don't know which way to go….
Me and my heart we got issues,
Don't know if I should hate you or miss you,
Damn, I wish that I could resist you,
Can't decide if I should leave you or kiss you.
Me and my heart we got issues, issues, issues.
We got issues, issues, issues.
Me and my heart we got issues,
Don't know if I should hate you or miss you,
Damn, I wish that I could resist you,
Can't decide if I should leave you or kiss you.
Me and my heart we got issues, issues, issues
We got issues, issues, issues
Me and my heart we got issues, issues, issues
We got issues, issues, issues,
We got issues, issues, issues
We got issues, issues, issues
Me and my heart we got issues
Don't know whether I should hate you or miss you."
The rest of the band was trying to act like I had done badly though I could tell they knew I was good.
"Right How to Save a Life, Dec if you'd please track 5"
"Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defence
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life"
It was going better than planned, I had always struggled with that song – because I'm a girl and a bloke sings that song – but it went well.
"Ok Fang get up, and Dec track 3 please." I said as Fang got up reluctantly and took his place next to me.
"I got chills.
They're multiplyin'.
And I'm losin' control.
'Cause the power
you're suplyin',
its electrifyin'!"
"You better shape up,
'cause I need a man
and my heart is set on you.
You better shape up;
you better understand
to my heart I must be true."
"Nothin' left, nothin' left for me to do."
"You're the one that I want.
You, oo, oo, honey.
The one that I want
You, oo, oo, honey.
The one that I want
you, oo, oo
are what I need.
Oh, yes indeed."
"If you're filled
with affection
you're too shy to convey,
meditate in my direction.
Feel your way."
"I better shape up,
'cause you need a man"
"I need a man who can keep me satisfied"
"I better shape up
if I'm gonna prove"
"You better prove that my faith is justified."
"Are you sure? Yes, I'm sure down deep inside."
"You're the one that I want.
You, oo, oo, honey.
The one that I want
You, oo, oo, honey.
The one that I want
you, oo, oo"
Once the song was over Fang practically ran to the chair, he had hated the idea when I had told him.
"Alright so these next two have a meaning to me I hope you can find what it is pretty quickly." I said "Track 9 then 11 please Dec."
"Well you're the real tough cookie with the long history
Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
That's O.K.; let's see how you do it
Put up your dukes, let's get down to it!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Why Don't You Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!
You come on with a "come on", you don't fight fair
But that's O.K., see if I care!
Knock me down, it's all in vain
I'll get right back on my feet again!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Why Don't You Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!
(Guitar solo)
Well you're the real tough cookie with the long history
Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
Before I put another notch in my lipstick case
You better make sure you put me in my place
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Come On; Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Why Don't You Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!"
Oh, yes indeed
I glared at Dylan all the way through that song and he tried not to look but he knew today it was all going to come out starting with that song.
"According to you
I'm stupid
I'm useless
I can't do anything right.
According to you
I'm difficult
Hard to please
Forever changing my mind.
I'm a mess in a dress
Can't show up on time
Even if it would save my life.
According to you. According to you.
But according to him
I'm beautiful,
incredible;
He can't get me out of his head.
According to him
I'm funny,
Irresistible
Everything he ever wanted.
Everything is opposite,
I don't feel like stopping it,
So baby tell me what I got to lose.
He's into me for everything I'm not,
According to you.
According to you
I'm boring,
I'm moody,
You can't take me any place.
According to you
I suck at telling jokes cause I always give it away.
I'm the girl with the worst attention span;
You're the boy who puts up with it.
According to you. According to you.
But according to him
I'm beautiful,
Incredible,
He can't get me out of his head.
According to him
I'm funny,
Irresistible,
Everything he ever wanted.
Everything is opposite,

So baby tell me what I got to lose.
He's into me for everything I'm not
According to you.
I need to feel appreciated,
Like I'm not hated. oh- no-.
Why can't you see me through his eyes?
It's too bad you're making me decide.
According to me
You're stupid,
You're useless,
You can't do anything right.
But according to him
I'm beautiful,
Incredible,
He can't get me out of his head.

When I sang the According to you lines I glared at Dylan when it was according to him I looked at Fang, that song practically explained our whole problem.
"Well I think we have our new member people." Said Iggy standing and clapping making me blush
"Cheers guys." I said hugging each one in turn, as they started moving out to the bench I walked over to Fang wanting him to know what Dylan had been doing the only way was for him to see. "Wait at the door for me please." I asked
"Alright." He agreed going out of the door but looking in so Dylan couldn't see him. Once Dylan thought he had gone he went ballistic.
"What the hell was that for?" He shouted punching me in the chest making me fall the floor at the base of the door
"You know exactly what for! I've had enough of you and being your punch bag! Once everyone knows I'll be the happiest person on earth. And one more thing, your dumped!" I gasped as he started kicking me wildly so much so my head snapped back and hit the door - everything went black – I passed out.
Fang P.O.V.
Once I had left the room Dylan just went crazy he started punching Max then she hit the floor at the bottom of the door I was so angry I tried to get in but she was blocking the way obviously knocked out.
"Dylan! What are you doing?" I roared but unfortunately the door was sound proof. I couldn't get to her at all, so the only way was to push her out of the way. I did so saying sorry as I didn't want to hurt her anymore than he had. It was a struggle to get in but once I did I leapt at Dylan punching him madly then pushing him over to get to Max.
"Max! Max wake up! MAX!" I shouted at her but she showed no signs of hearing me, I checked her over for injuries all she seemed to have was a broken arm and loads of bruises.
"Shit, Dylan you thick idiot you could have killed her!" I shouted running up to him ready to kill him myself.
"Nick Ride what has happened here!" Shouted Mr Parry walking in to see me almost on Dylan my fists raised and Max on the floor just laid there her eyes closed and arm bent partially the wrong way.
"Sir, its Dylan he's been beating Max up and now she's on the floor and I think she needs an ambulance." I explained as he left the room to go and phone an ambulance – hopefully it'll be quick – and I went over to her picking her up, pushing her hair out of her eyes, and a tear welling up in mine. Iggy suddenly burst through the door from nowhere and went over the Dylan and punched him squarely in the face, took hold of his collar and pressed him up against the wall.
"IS THERE SOMETHING UP WITH YOUR HEAD? EH? WHAT PART OF MAX UNCONSCIOUS IS RIGHT? WHAT PART OF GOING OUT INVOVLES KICKING HER ON THE FLOOR?" He screamed in his face. Iggy was tightening his grip "You've messed with the wrong family. You are so in for it tonight" Iggy snarled
"Oh so you're inbreeding now are you?" Dylan snapped back; to then get another few punches from Iggy.
"Nah that's how you came into this life." He growled walking over to me holding Max sat on the desk where we had all been sat just moments ago "She going to be ok?" He asked
"Maybe. Where did you come from?" I asked stroking her hair to feel something wet on my hand, I looked at it horrified to see blood on my fingers.
"Well I went out of the room and saw everything. Tried to get in saw you had gotten in and ran to the door but got told off for running indoors and finally got here." He explained. I hugged Max closer as she had stopped breathing I couldn't hold back the tears anymore a few escaped no matter how hard I tried to be strong. Iggy rather than mock me for crying just put his hand on my shoulder.
"The ambulance is here Nick, come on." He said indicating to the door, I got up and out of the window the ambulance stuck out like a sore thumb.
"Can I go with her?" I asked feeling like a little kid looking up at sir
"You'll have to ask the paramedics but I'll let you if you can." He reassured me patting me on my back.
