Chapter 10: Max Gets Another Chance
Fang POV
I searched down in the basement for Iggy. Not there. Then I looked in the family room, kitchen, Ms. M's office, and the laundry room. Not here. I climbed the steps. I looked in on Ella's and Nudge's room. Nope. I opened the door to Max's room she was taking a shower. I was about to close the door when I heard beautiful singing. Max was singing. I sat on her bed and listened.
Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down
Oh I'll never know, what makes this man
With all the love, that his heart can stand
Dream of ways, to throw it all away
Oh Gravity, is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down
Oh twice as much, ain't twice as good
And can't sustain, like a one half could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees
Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me
And gravity has taken better men than me (now how can that be?)
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
C'mon keep me where the light is
C'mon keep me where the light is
Oh... where the light is!
Iggy came and listened too when she had just started singing. "Her voice is amazing!" he excitedly whispered.
"Yeah, it's beautiful." I added. The door handle jingled. We both dove under her bed and then Nudge, Ella, Angel, and Gazzy came into the room.
"What are you guys doing?" Nudge asked. Iggy pulled her down and everyone else under the bed with us.
Thankfully when she opened the door she had already changed and was drying her hair. She went into her closet. She brought out… a guitar!
She sat down and started to strum and tune it. She then started singing with accompany of the guitar.
Well, I've heard there was a sacred chord
David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya
Well, it goes like this; the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya
Then she'd tie you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, Baby, I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do ya
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, maybe there is a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light,
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah(x4)
She sung with so much emotion and passion. It seemed like it was really personal. Iggy started clapping and we both rolled out under the bed.
She screamed and aimed a kick at Iggy's head but he ducked. " What the hell!" she screamed. "What were you guys doing under my bed!"
"We can explain." I hurriedly said. She was fuming.
"Oh my gosh. Thank you Lord that I decided to change in the bathroom." She said mortified. Angel, Nudge, Ella, and Gazzy crawled out after us.
"Your singing is really good! You sound so much like Kate Voegele. You sound like an angel! Why didn't you tell us you sing and play the guitar?" Nudge blabbered on.
"Nudge is right. Your voice is so beautiful and amazing! Don't you think Gazzy?" Angel asked. Gazzy nodded enthusiastically. Max blushed.
"Will you sing two more song for us? Pretty please with a cherry on top?" Everyone put on Bambi eyes. It was too much cuteness for her and she gave in.
"Fine, but no more sneaking up on me." She said defeatedly.
"Dr. M, come up here." I called.
"What's up?" Dr. M asked.
"Max is going to sing for us." I told her while Max rolled her eyes.
She started strumming her guitar and when she opened her mouth, the sounds angels make came out.
I have seen peace. I have seen pain,
Resting on the shoulders of your name.
Do you see the truth through all their lies?
Do you see the world through troubled eyes?
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.
I have seen birth. I have seen death.
Lived to see a lover's final breath.
Do you see my guilt? Should I feel a fright?
Is the fire of hesitation burning bright?
And if you want to talk about it once again,
On you I depend. I'll cry on your shoulder.
You're a friend.
You and I have lived through many things.
I'll hold on to your heart.
I wouldn't cry for anything,
But don't go tearing your life apart.
I have seen fear. I have seen faith.
Seen the look of anger on your face.
And if you want to talk about what will be,
Come and sit with me, and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
Once again.
Cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.
Everyone started to clap. I wolf whistled and she blushed and opened her eyes.
"Only one more, ok?" She said. We all nodded. "I can play the piano too. Do you have one?"
"Yeah in the foyer." Dr. M answered. We all went downstairs and sat down by her as she sat at the baby grand piano. She did a scale and then she started to sing.
Look at me
Look into my eyes
Tell me, do you see that I am always by your side?
Or has the world got you down on your knees?
Come to me
Look at you
Look into your heart
Tell me is there room for you to make a brand new start?
Or has the world gotten to you and made you dark?
Come to me
'Cuz when you cry, all your tears I will wipe away
and when you laugh, who you think got you that way?
And when you dream big, when you wake up, is it me you want to see?
'Cuz when you cry, all your tears I will wipe away
and when you laugh, who you think got you that way?
And when you dream big, when you wake up, is it me you want to see?
Look at us
Look around the world
'cuz all you seem to find are unhappy boys—unhappy girls
and tell me … is that what you want for you and me?
Don't you want to be happy?
'Cuz when you cry, all your tears I will wipe away
and when you laugh, who you think got you that way?
And when you dream big, when you wake up, is it me you want to see?
Look at me
Look into my eyes
Tell me, do you see that I am always by your side?
Or has the world got you down on your knees?
You can come to me
You know, you can always come to me...
We all started to clap and Angel went up to hug her.
"You know you should sing more. It's selfish to keep that voice to yourself." Ella told her.
"I use too when my parents were alive. But I stopped when they were killed." Max told us. She bitterly laughed, "Those days are over though."
"Are there any other hidden talents we should know about Max?" Nudge asked.
"I dance." She said.
"No way, so do we!" Ella and Nudge squealed. "What type of dance? Nudge and I do pointe, jazz, lyrical, and hip hop."
"All of that and tap." She replied.
"Wow so you're a singer, dancer, musician since you play the piano and guitar, an artist, and a rugby player." Nudge said. She counted on her hands while she listed them off. "You're 5 different things!"
"Has your dance school already started?" She asked.
Ella answered, "It started not too long ago. It's only the third week of classes. It's not to late to sign up. We can do it tomorrow. If you wanted to do the advanced classes you have to dance in all the different categories for the instructor."
"Okay" With that, Max went up to her room.
"Iggy and Dr. M, come with me to the kitchen." I told them.
They followed me to the kitchen. I told them about Max's rant when we were playing basketball. When I finished I told Ms. M, "I think you should talk to her."
Iggy was shaking with anger, "Do you think her ex-boyfriend, you know, raped her?" he brokenly asked.
I tensed up when he said that. "I'll talk to her later." Ms. M decided.
"Do you guys want to sleep over? Iggy asked. I nodded.
"We could have a movie night!" Ella squealed. I nodded. "Go tell everyone." I ordered her. She skipped with away.
