The Famous Maximum Ride

Chapter 9 – Max POV

"Any specific songs you want to record off of these CDs?" Tommy asked me.

"Well, 'Let Me Fall'," I said taking out the CD it was on and handing it to him. "And 'Twilight' is also on that one."

"You should rerecord 'Skin'." Jude said. 'Skin' was a song Jude had recorded after her sixteenth birthday party disaster.

"Maybe." I said rifling through CDs. "'Not Standing Alone' and 'Your Eyes' on that." I gave Tommy the CD, looking into Fang's dark eyes for a few seconds before turning back.

"'Soulmate' and 'Oh Star'." I handed him another CD.

"You got any favorites?" I asked Fang knowing he probably memorized all of them by now.

"Well I love 'Let Me Fall' but you've already got that one."

"Uh-huh." I said egging on for more.

"Hmm..." He started looking through CDs until he came to one. "'Don't You Dare'." He held out the CD to me. I took it, looking at it briefly before I gave it to Tommy.

"And 'The Breakdown' is on that one too." I said, "How many is that." I didn't really want to overdo it and I didn't really want any more on these CDs anyway.

"Nine." Tommy said.

"Well I don't feel right about these but I have a song I wrote a few months ago but didn't record and another one I only started writing yesterday. It's not done yet and I could probably use some help on that one."

"'White Lines'!" Jude exclaimed.

"Huh?" I asked.

"You've heard it. It's on my second album."

"So?"

"Well it's perfect for your voice. You should do remakes of 'Skin' and 'White Lines'. It's good for sales to do a Jude Harrison song. And you've got the songwriter's consent."

"Okay, that makes twelve. Plus '24 Hours' equals thirteen." I said doing the math out loud. "Perfect." I commented.

"I'll help you by finishing writing that one song if you give me what you have so far." Jude said.

"Go ahead." I handed her the piece of written on paper with what I have so far.

"And you can make the track listing and pick which song you want to record first."

"What?" Tommy asked and started laughing. "Whipped."

"He just loves me." I said giving Fang a short kiss while Jude smacked Tommy lightly on the arm. I took the piece of paper Fang was holding out to me, got a pen, and started writing down the track listing I knew was right for this album.

Thanks to Flyer without Wings, crazy.girl.with.wings., and plainlyironic for suggesting songs. And thanks to ForeverIndebted who wrote a song (Falling For Love) and let me use it. And if I forgot mentioning anyone thanks to you too and to anyone who reviewed (Makmay04 and you know others but I feel like singling you out). And it was brought to my attention that I might have messed up with saying Max and Fang putting up pictures of them kissing and then hiding their relationship. I don't want to go back and delete things from chapters so it will all be cleared up next chapter. So I'll have chapter 10 up as soon as I finish it which will probably either be tonight or tomorrow sometime. Review.
