A/N:

I'M back! Like a bad rash! *insert smiley face*

Only one person reviewed but I won't be mean. I just wrote the chapter yesterday.

So to keep this short and semi-sweet,

Chapter 9 PART TWO

Dancing to the Max

Max P.O.V.

"So where are we going?" I asked as we walked farther away from the school.

"Surprise" Fang said and smirked. I looked up at him.

"I hate surprises"

"I know" I raised and eyebrows but followed him around another corner.

"Come on its just over here" Fang said and pointed to the distant. I nodded as we reached the front of a forest. Fang walked into the forest and without a quick thought I followed closely behind him.

"Watch out for the branch" he said just as a branch came swinging my way. I ducked just as it came flying past my head. He pointed up and I followed him up an old wooden ladder. He reached the top and reached a hand down and I grabbed it. He pulled me up and hauled me to my feet. I looked around and gasped. It was an old tree house with several windows and a couple guitars leaning against the walls. There was an old soccer ball in one corner and a couple old sleeping bags rolled up under a bench.

"This place is amazing" I said and looked out, over all the trees. It had an amazing view of the whole town.

"Yea. Me and Angel come here a lot" Fang said and walked over to one of the guitars and grabbed it. Surprise! Surprise! It was black. He grabbed the other one and handed it to me. It was a blue guitar with a vine design going down the front. Fang sat down of and hangs his legs over the sides. He looked up at me and patted the spot next to him. I came and sat criss cross applesauce style.

Fang started tuning the guitar and started to play a song and sing:

("Bless The Broken Road by Rascal Flatts. I do NOT own)

I set out on a narrow way many years ago

Hoping I would find true love along the broken road

But I got lost a time or two

Wiped my brow and kept pushing through

I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

Every long lost dream led me to where you are

Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars

Pointing me on my way into your loving arms

This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road

That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through

I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you

But you just smile and take my hand

You've been there you understand

It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Now I'm just rolling home

Into my lover's arms

This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road

That led me straight to you

That God blessed the broken road

That led me straight to you.

Fang turned toward my and put two fingers under my chin and kissed me.

Cue fireworks and girly squeals!

THIS IS A LINE NAMED FRED!

Fang and I walked home and stopped in front of my house. I gave him a hug and blushed tomato red when he returned it.

"See ya later at the funeral" I said and waved. He waved a walked up the front steps of his house. I disappeared into mine; just as he was he opened the door. I shut the door and started jumping up and down and squealing like a girl at a Justin Beiber concert. My mom walked in and smirked at me. I looked at her with innocent eyes.

"Looks like I owe Nudge ten bucks" she said and I raised my eyebrows.

"You were beating on me and Fang?" I questioned and smirked. She gulped.

"Yea. Now come one. We've gotta funeral to go to" When she said funeral, my spirits dropped and I nodded.

"Do you know what songs and speech that you're doing?" she asked and I nodded and pounded up the steps. I reached into my closet and pushed my normal clothes the side. I grabbed out a black one shoulder dress with a white belt around the middle. I reached down and grabbed a pair of black high heeled shoes. I reached for the shelf and pulled out a black head band with a bow (A/N: Link to clothes on profile).

I stripped out of the clothes I was wearing and put on my more dressy up clothes. I walked across the hall to the bathroom and started to curl my hair. After that I slipped the black hairband in my hair and walked down the steps.

"You look beautiful, Max" my mom said and gave me a hug. We headed out of the back door and got in the car. My mom started the car and drove over across town to the high school. See there having a big thing for Ella hear for everyone to come and then we go to the cemetery for the burial.

We arrived ten minutes later and there was a huge crowd waiting outside of the doors. My mom drove up to the front door and unlocked the door.

"Meet you inside" she said and I nodded. I steps out onto the sidewalk and closed the door. She drove off to the parking lot to find a parking spot. The crowd split as I walked down the middle. It was quite, dead quite.

I walked up to the door, when the door was open and I was tackled in a hug by Angel and Nudge. I stepped back and wiped a tear that had fallen. Nudge was wearing a black belted top, black skirts and black high heels. Angel was wearing a black ruffle dress and gray ballet flats. (A/N: Link to clothes on profile)

Angel grabbed my left hand while Nudge grabbed my right. We headed into the school and into the gym, because it had a stage. We sat in the front row next to my mom, just as the principal came on the stage, dressed in a black suit.

"Welcome every one. Today were here to honor Ella Martinez. There will be a slide show, then her sister, Max would like to say a few words" he walked off the stage and stood beside the wall. He clicked a button and the slide show began to start.

There were tons of pictures of Ella. Some with people I didn't know and some with people I know. After about thirty pictures and about ten songs another picture popped up on the screen. It was of me and Ella on the first day of school. We were in front of the school and we were arguing with each other and then there was one were we both were laughing our heads off. It changed to the last picture. It was of the whole gang, Ella in the middle. Words came onto the screen. "R.I.P Ella. We will miss you!" in purple, her favorite color.

I looked over at the principle and he was motioning for me to come onto the stage. I walked up, everyone's eyes on me, and to the microphone. I stepped forward and talked into the microphone.

"Hey everyone. I hope you know me. I'm Max, El's sister. I'm gonna sing a couple songs and then I'm going to just… talk" I said and nodded. I walked over to the music guy and handed him a cd with the songs I wanted to sing. He nodded and put it in the CD player. He handed me a cordless microphone and I nodded.

I stepped back and into the middle of the stage. I turned to the music guy and nodded and he pressed play. The music started and I started to sing:

("Whenever You Remember By Carrie Underwood)

When you look back on times we had

I hope you smile

And know that through the good and through the bad

I was on your side when nobody could hold us down

We claimed the brightest star

And we, we came so far

And no they won't forget

Whenever you remember times gone by

Remember how we held our heads so high

When all this world was there for us

And we believed that we could touch the sky

Whenever you remember, I'll be there

Remember how we reached that dream together

Whenever you remember

When you think back on all we've done

I hope you're proud

When you look back and see how far we've come

It was our time to shine

And nobody could hold us down

They thought they'd see us fall

But we, we stood so tall

And no we won't forget

Whenever you remember times gone by

Remember how we held our heads so high

When all this world was there for us

And we believed that we could touch the sky

Whenever you remember, I'll be there

Remember how we reached that dream together

Whenever you remember

Yeah, Oh

We claimed the brightest star

And we, we came so far

You know that we, we showed them all

And no they won't forget

Yeah

Whenever you remember times gone by

Remember how we held our heads so high

When all this world was there for us

And we believed that we could touch the sky

Whenever you remember, I'll be there

Remember how we reached that dream together

Whenever you remember

Oh, whenever you remember

A few people clapped but everyone else was frozen is shock. Many of the people didn't know I could sing. The next song started:

("What Hurts The Most" by Rascal Flatts!)

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house

That don't bother me

I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out

I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while

Even though going on with you gone still upsets me

There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok

But that's not what gets me

What hurts the most

Was being so close

And having so much to say

And watching you walk away

And never knowing

What could have been

And not seeing that loving you

Is what I was tryin' to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go

But I'm doin' It

It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone

Still Harder

Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret

But I know if I could do it over

I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart

That I left unspoken

What hurts the most

Is being so close

And having so much to say

And watching you walk away

And never knowing

What could have been

And not seeing that loving you

Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most

Is being so close

And having so much to say

And watching you walk away

And never knowing

What could have been

And not seeing that loving you

Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you

That's what I was trying to do

The whole gym went quite.

"Only two more songs. I'm sure you've heard of them. One was Ella's Favorite and the other is one me and Ella always listened to" I said and pointed and the music started.

("Rumor Has It by Adele. I don't own!)

She, she ain't real,

She ain't gonna be able to love you like I will,

She is a stranger,

You and I have history,

Or don't you remember?

Sure, she's got it all,

But, baby, is that really what you want?

Bless your soul, you've got your head in the clouds,

You made a fool out of you,

And, boy, she's bringing you down,

She made your heart melt,

But you're cold to the core,

Now rumour has it she ain't got your love anymore,

Rumor has it, ooh,

She is half your age,

But I'm guessing that's the reason that you strayed,

I heard you've been missing me,

You've been telling people things that you shouldn't be,

Like when we creep out and she ain't around,

Haven't you heard the rumours?

Bless your soul, you've got your head in the clouds,

You made a fool out of me,

And, boy, you're bringing me down,

You made my heart melt, yet I'm cold to the core,

But rumour has it I'm the one you're leaving her for,

Rumour has it, ooh,

Rumor has it, ooh,

All of these words whispered in my ear,

Tell a story that I cannot bear to hear,

Just 'cause I said it don't mean I meant it,

People say crazy things,

Just 'cause I said it, don't mean that I meant it,

Just 'cause you heard it,

Rumor has it, ooh,

But rumor has it he's the one I'm leaving you for.

I took a deep breath before the last song started. I smiled but it didn't reach my eyes. The music started and I started to sing the last song of the night.

("Here Comes Goodbye by Rascal Flatts I do NOT own!)

I can hear the truck tires coming up the gravel road

And its not like her to drive that slow, nothin's on the radio

Footsteps on the front porch, I hear my doorbell

She usually comes right in, now I can tell

Here comes goodbye

Here comes the last time

Here comes the start of every sleepless night

The first of every tear I'm gonna cry

Here comes the pain

Here comes me wishing things had never changed

And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye

I can hear her say I love you like it was yesterday

And I can see it written on her face that she had never felt this way

One day I thought I'd see her with her daddy by her side

And violins would play here comes the bride

Here comes goodbye

Here comes the last time

Here comes the start of every sleepless night

The first of every tear I'm gonna cry

Here comes the pain

Here comes me wishing things had never changed

And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye

Why does it have to go from good to gone?

Before the lights turn on, yeah and youre left alone

All alone, but here comes goodbye

Oh-oooo

Here comes goodbye

Here comes the last time

Here comes the start of every sleepless night

The first of every tear I'm gonna cry

Here comes the pain

Here comes me wishing things had never changed

And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye

Oh-oooo

I took another deep breath and looked up to the crowd.

"Ella was my sister. I loved her with all my heart. No I love her with all my heart. She was the greatest sister anyone could have. The girl who made you think you could reach the top of the world. The girl who made you laugh when you were about to cry. The girl who saved our friend Angel so she wouldn't get hit by a car" I motioned at Angel and she came running up onto the stage and took my hand.

"Ella would rather save family before she would save herself. Me and Ella would argue over the stupidest things. Like when I wouldn't want to wear her girly clothes or the makeup and I hated her for that but I still love her. We couldn't fight without making up ten seconds later. I want Ella remember for what she did and I want people to cry for her not for me. This isn't goodbye El's; I'll meet you at the pearly gates one day soon. You're the best. You might be crazy but I love you and you're the reason I'm not afraid to fly. See you soon Sis" I finished and turned off the microphone. I dropped it to the floor and it fell with a bang.

The tears came next. I picked up Angel and walked off the stage. She put her hands around my neck and gave me a hug.

"It will be okay, Max" she whispered into my ear and I nodded. She dropped out of my arms and grabbed my hand. We walked to wear our group was standing. I sighed and leaned against Fang.

"That was awesome Max" Nudge and Iggy said together. I nodded my thanks.

"I hope you don't join her too soon" Iggy said and I shrugged.

"Wouldn't matter. I don't have that much to live for now." I said and moved closer to Fang.
