CHAPTER 10

Max P.O.V

I had no idea how long I had been in my room just crying doing nothing else, though I know it's been quite a long time. I got up miserably and pulled my hood over my head so my eyes weren't able to be seen by whoever looks at me, grabbed my guitar slung it around my neck and made my way downstairs no one was in mum had gone out with Ella so that I didn't have to face her stupid taunts. I wandered into the kitchen looking for the pot of keys that's usually hanging about; the gym was usually locked since the last episode. Though the key pot wasn't that hidden it was – weirdly – in the microwave, ok what's going to be next milk in the oven? I pulled out the gym key it was the smallest with a blue key ring attached to it with 'Gym' written on it. I walked over to the side of the stairs where the white door which to anybody wouldn't have known that was a door when someone knocked on the front. Great. I'll go down there tomorrow.

"It's open!" I called stuffing the key into my hoodie pocket and walking up the stairs and I sat on the railing, playing a melody on my guitar looking down the stairs at Nudge coming in through the door followed by Iggy and the guy I really didn't want to see right now.

"Max where the hell did you go?"

"Home?" I frowned looking around me

"Why Max why?" I stared straight passed her at him, he lowered his head and I looked away

"Tell ya later"

"But Max!" She whined giving me bambi eyes "Was it that thing with Lissa this morning? Come on it can't be that bad! Can it?"

"Nudge. I. Will. Tell. You. Later!" I slid down the banister but remembered Fang and I did that at the weekend so I jumped off and landed skilfully on the bottom step. "Be back in a minute" I said walking through the kitchen with them following me, into the back garden and I closed the glass door behind me. I stood there for a second looking around then just screamed before falling to my knees. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I tried to shrug it off but they wouldn't let go.

"Go away. Leave. Me. Alone!"

"Max come inside" It was Scott thankfully; I looked up at him as I stood up and hugged him. I wandered down the bottom of the garden I didn't feel like going in yet. "Come on what's up? You don't usually strangle a cat like that for no reason" He joked I just looked up at him darkly; I didn't feel in a jokey mood.

"Ok ok, you don't have to talk just lets go in" He did have a point it had suddenly become really cold and the sky had clouded over

"Ok" I gave in no point standing outside for no reason except avoid someone which I can do pretty well anyway. We walked in and as we passed Fang I looked away. "I think I can take it from here" I told him once we had gotten half way up the stairs he just nodded and walked back down he confuses me sometimes that Scott.

"Max!"

"Fuck off Fang"

"Please Max" I rolled my eyes I really wonder what the excuse is?

"What?" I asked icily

"It was Lissa. Her brother knows these guys..."

"And they were going to beat you up if you didn't say something bad about me, get me pissed off and not talk to you? Yeah? Heard it all before too many times. Just go home Fang" I replied

"But Max I like you"

"Yeah I thought you did too" I looked away from him and started walking up the stairs again, I felt his hand on my shoulder so I ran instead leaving him stood on the stairs alone. I slammed my door as hard as I could and fell on my bed and into the already tear soaked pillow I cried again.

"Max?"

"Leave. Me. Alone!" I shouted throwing my clock at the door I didn't care who it was I just wanted to be alone for a while. I grabbed a few things that I didn't really need that were just around my room and I threw them all at one wall. I didn't have anything against that wall I just had something against one of the people stood behind my door.

"It's me Nudge can I come in?" It's Nudge why not I have nothing against her

"Yeah" I replied going back to throwing stuff around

"Whoa Max way to destroy stuff. Fang told us everything..."

"Yeah I bet he did"

"Listen Max he did something stupid something that would be unforgivable if you didn't love him" Huh? I was getting relationship advice from a girl that's only had one boyfriend (a real one) which is her current one.

"So what if I do love him? Doesn't explain the little recording does it?"

"What recording?"

"Listen" I handed her my phone and pressed play, she looked shocked and I nodded "How is he going to explain that one?" I pushed past her and ran down to the gym door opening it quickly and quietly. I turned the lights on the dark room the lights reflected around the room from the two walls that were covered in mirrors. I jumped down the noisy metal steps and jumped on the treadmill putting it straight onto the fastest speed and ran. Tears fell down my face as I got hotter and more tired. It had been a long time since I had ran this fast, and it didn't help the fact I hadn't taken my hoodie off.

I had been going a while and not feeling too brilliant clearly he was getting shouted at Nudge and she's mean when she shouts. Suddenly my feet stopped touching the treadmill and I had been picked up. I started thrashing my legs about trying to get away.

"LET. GO. PUT. ME DOWN!" I roared they did as I asked and as my legs touched solid ground they collapsed beneath me and I sat on the floor shaking slightly. I closed my eyes to get my head straight I always feel a little dizzy after running. Whoever it was took me by the shoulders and I opened my eyes slowly to see two gorgeous onyx black eyes looking back at me, I couldn't tear my eyes away.

"Max that isn't me"

"But... why should I believe you"

"I'm your best friend. Honestly that's not me"

"Why did you say that thing at dinner?"

"I wasn't thinking straight, they were honestly, and probably am, going to come after me"

"Just because of that?"

"No"

"What's happened?"

"Lissa doesn't know but Sam does"

"Knows what?"

"Well... His dad caused an accident where he was killed in it and my dad was involved in it so Sam sees it as my fault. Don't understand why it would be mine but he has a grudge against me since."

"Oh my God"

"I'm really sorry, I never wanted to be with Lissa but Sam and his mates made me, I haven't been able to get away."

"Fang, I'm so sorry." I hugged him tightly

"It's fine"

"I looked away
then I looked back at you,
You tried to say
the things that you can't undo,
If I had my way
I'd never get over you,
Today's the day
I pray that we make it through.

Make it through the fall,
Make it through it all.

And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just wanna sit and stare at you.
I don't wanna talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just wanna cry in front of you.
I don't wanna talk about it
'Cause I'm in love with you.

You're the only one
I'd be with till the end.
When I come undone
you bring me back again.
Back under the stars,
Back into your arms.

And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just wanna sit and stare at you.
I don't wanna talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just wanna cry in front of you.
I don't wanna talk about it
'Cause I'm in love with you.

Wanna know who you are,
Wanna know where to start,
I wanna know what this means.

Wanna know how you feel,
Wanna know what is real.
I wanna know everything
Everything!

I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just wanna sit and stare at you.
I don't wanna talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just wanna cry in front of you.
I don't wanna talk about it.

And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just wanna sit and stare at you.
I don't wanna talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just wanna cry in front of you.
and I don't wanna talk about it
'Cause I'm in love with you.
I'm in love with you,
'Cause I'm in love with you.
I'm in love with you,
I'm in love with you" I sang randomly it seemed to fit the situation and well it's been ages since I sang it, but it sounded a tad weird without my band.

"You shouldn't have to stay with her"

"I wish"

"You could be with me" I whispered to myself, he made no indication that he heard me except that he leant down and gently kissed me. I stood up so I couldn't lose myself in his kiss and walked over to the treadmill leaning on it.

"Oh God..." I whispered to myself looking down at my feet

"Huh?"

"Just because we kissed does not mean you are off the hook"

"..."

"What happens now? I mean clearly I'm still pissed off with you, just slightly"

"Yeah... clearly, so we good now?"

"I don't know"

"Come on Max! Please..."

"Yeah we're good" I walked over and hugged him really tightly around his neck. "Just never do that again, they may know people but I know more. And believe me get on the wrong side of these guys and your bed bound for months."

"Yeah I'll remember that" I pulled away and walked over to the wall put my back to it and slid down, Fang came sitting down next to me.

"Maxy Ride my girl!" Someone shouted it could only be Absy; he is the only one that can call me that without getting his head kicked in.

"In here Abs!" Fang shot me a questioning look and to be honest I was confused too. Then I saw a figure in the door way with an African American toned skin wearing baggy jeans and a massive soccer (Football people! Come on! Liverpool! Lol) shirt on and a baseball cap on sideways.

"Maxy!"

"Abs? What the hell! You're meant to be coming here Wednesday!"

"Oh right I'll just go then. See you Wednesday!" He laughed waving pretending to walk out of the door

"Funny (!) No seriously what the hell are you doing here?"

"I'll tell you Wednesday when I come!" Then he walked out of the door

"Abs get your butt in here!" He walked back in

"Come on Maxy you know you love me!" I stood up with the help of Fang

"Of course I do but when you tell me which day you're coming I usually expect you to arrive then not two days early!"

"Hey Maxy nothing wrong with wanting to see you again is there?"

"I suppose not" Fang was still looking at me oddly so time to introduce two sides of my life that I never thought would meet

"Absy this is Fang. Fang this is Absy." I introduced looking happily between my two best friends.

"Hey mate" Said Absy shaking Fangs hand while Fang did his 'I'm too cool to say somat so I'll nod' nod.

"Doesn't say much, starting to like you already" Grinned Absy then to hug me picking me up off of my feet. He set me down and smiled.

"So come on where's everyone?"

"Waiting upstairs by the speakers and stuff you wanted us to bring, are you expecting me to leave them on their own?" Replied Abs as we walked up the stairs into the entrance of the house to see a giant pile of bikes and literally hundreds of bags most likely containing the speakers, stands and amps, around 22 guys and girls stood around them.

"I do expect them to leave them when they're actually inside the house!" I punched him lightly on the arm and noticed Nudge and Iggy were in the circle around the bikes. Nudge was filling them in with 3 years worth of crap and some good things.

"MAX!" Shouted a girl with dark brown hair with two long plaits braided with different colours, she came bouncing over and hugged me tightly

"Lou! Oh my god it's been too long!"

"Duh!" Louise had always been shorter than me now it seems I've gone backwards she had now shot past me. I looked around and all the girls rushed over to us, I was now squished between what could be Lauren and Louise. We hung around with about 7 girls; Louise (Lou), Cheryl (Cherry, she has red hair), Lauren (Lozz), Chelsea (Chels), Devon (Dev), Sam and Natalie (Nat). (Everyone except Louise & Cheryl in that list are actually my mate's lol I LOVES YOU ALL! MY RETARDS! LOL !)

"And who?" Asked Louise pointing to Fang

"Guys this is Fang, he's Iggy's brother" They walked up to him shaking his hand and saying hi. "Fang these are the guys I used to hang around with before the career" Louise raised an eyebrow at me and I shook my head, with all the girls here we just need to look at each other and we know what we're thinking without being mind readers. (Yeah that actually works with me and Lauren (my best mate) we just look at each other and know exactly what we're thinking its sooo cool!)

"Really?"

"NO!" I stared at her and she nodded knowing I was going to fill her in later. I walked around the group hugging each one in turn until I got to a short kid I had never seen before. I looked to Absy

"Who's the newbie?"

"This is Ari"

"Yeah what happened to no new guys got in until they got past me?" I asked folding my arms looking down at the scared little kid, he was quite sweet I couldn't tell how old he was maybe 10-11 I didn't know. His short blonde hair slightly quivering as his eyes shifted from me to Absy.

"That flew out the window when you left"

"Good point"

"And come on these two can't be the only guys you know"

"Yeah there are four other girls they'll probably be dropping by I kinda ran away from school."

"That's the Maxy I know!" He lightly punched me

"Yeah well at least there weren't any cops"

"Good point"

"Though come on why are you here so early?"

"Uhh..."

"Max one word; Cops" Answered Lou for him

"Oh for god's sake Abs! What the hell have you done now?" He was looking quite sheepishly at me and Lou was looking at him fairly angry.

"If you don't tell her I will"

"Well... Got caught for drink driving"

"What I didn't even know you could drive!"

"Neither did I" He confessed

"Idiot!" I punched him harder this time "Since when did you drink?"

"Cheryl dumped him so he was depressed" Added Kieran, he was one of the few that were the first to hang around with us, and he always had a crush on Cheryl while Lou always had a crush on Absy and Absy likes Lou but went out with Cheryl instead. Grr so confusing!

"Taa Kizza, Abs she's only a girl look you're still mates I mean she's here today isn't she? Sorry Cheryl" I pointed out

"S'ok"

"Yeah we're good now I just wasn't thinking straight"

"And we all know what that does to people" I muttered catching Fang's eyes he looked away momentarily "Anyway shut the front door it's a bit cold out there and come into the living room we gotta catch up on a lot!" I said pushing a few of the girls into the massive room, the guys of course gaped at the TV

"How big is it?" Asked Kizza his tousled brown hair falling across his face as he brushed it irritably back away

"I think it's a 100 inches I think could be bigger though, I just bought the biggest" I shrugged casually as the lads whistled "Sit make yourselves at home!" I said jumping on the sofa. We turned the TV on not caring what was on and started talking; I had Absy on one side of me and Fang on the other, I leaned into Fang and he put his arm slightly around me. Absy seemed kinda tense when I leaned back into Fang but oh well he'll be fine. We were all having a good time and a laugh but then my mum knocked on the living room door getting our attention.

"Max will you come here please"

"Sure" Just go along with it she's at least still talking to you and before it wasn't just a blip because I was upset. I thought to myself as I stood up and walked to where she stood. "S'up?"

"What are they doing here?" She nodded her head indicating to the large group spread around the room on the sofa, the floor or the window ledge.

"They are my friends look I didn't even know they were coming tonight I thought they were coming Wednesday" I answered

"Could Ella possibly join you?" I looked over at my group of friends then back at her, I hadn't spoken to Ella since and well I wasn't bothered that I hadn't

"Let me ask the guys" I replied walking in they all turned to me "Guys anyone want Ella to like join us for a bit?" I didn't want her too but if they wanted to see her then... They looked between each other before shaking their heads, they'd never really been that nice to Ella and I loved them for it. "Good" I walked back to my mum

"She can't sorry"

"I wouldn't want to sit in a room full of freaks anyway, I meeting Michael" Smiled Ella walking by in a short pale yellow dress with a thick black belt around her middle

"He is a freak!" I retorted

"Says the cheater!"

"Need your eyes testing? And get your facts straight he cheated on me"

"I wasn't on about him"

"Right..." I started walking back to the group when she shouted

"Fang still with Lissa?" I turned sharply on my heel to glare at her she flinched a little when she met my stare. I kept my gaze on her as I walked to the front door, I opened it roughly and Michael was stood there about to knock on the door. He was wearing a grey dress shirt, a lighter grey loose tie and darker grey suit trousers, ok how plain can this guy get? Ok he looked quite hot the operative word being quite!

"Oh hey Michael" I said cheerily the fakest smile pinned on my face, I reached for his tie and twirled it around my fingers "Do you remember the last time you wore this tie when we were going out?"

"Uh... Yeah?"

"... And then I found out it was one of your little subtle hints that you were cheating on your girlfriends. Yeah your ex before me told me that." I pulled his tie so it was choking him, I laughed before kneeing him in the you know what parts. Ella ran past me as I walked in and jumped over the back of the sofa narrowly missing Absy' head with my legs.

"Whoa watch Maxi girl I'd like to keep my head y'know." He laughed

"Sorry! Anyway once my girls get here, and I' gonna text them now, we'll get this party started!" I clapped my hands grabbing my phone out of my pocket and starting texting. I stopped momentarily listening to Ella shouting at Michael... what a good feeling it is to ruin his life like he ruined mine. We were all now listening to their argument wanting to burst out laughing. I caught Lou's eye her lips pushed together tightly holding her breath and the laughs, another yell of abuse was flung into the air and made its way into the room we both just started laughing uncontrollably.

"Max I wasn't finished talking to you" Said my mum standing in the door way

"Sorry!" I shouted stuffing my phone in my pocket "Shoot"

"You seriously aren't going to leave that pile of... things on the floor there are you?"

"Dunno it looks ok kinda abstract" I replied tilting my head around her to look at the Mount Everest of bikes and speakers.

"Max move them I can't get up the stairs!"

"Fine!" I turned to the guys who were recovering from laughing wiping their laughter tears. "Guys gotta move your gear otherwise my mum is going to have a hissy fit!" A few moans came from them but they got up any way and started shifting their things to the walls.

"That it?" I asked my mum as she watched over us moving things around

"No you have your video to shoot on Wednesday"

"Kay... Which song is it?" Ok Nudge may be my manager but she never acts like it mum is better I should so totally get a professional... hmmm...

"I believe it is... that one I don't like..."

"Oh I don't give? Yeah awesome song"

"You would like it..."

"I would I wrote it." We all turned back into the living room, I was almost in the room when I looked out of the front door; Ella was still having a go at Michael and I could see the girls just turning the corner. "They're here" I kinda announced and I leant up against the open door my arms folded with the other girls stood behind me.

"Max!" Yelled Keeley

"Hiyah!"

"Where the hell did you go?" Asked Rainy making her way down the path to my front door.

"Home... now you're here I'll tell you guys why. Oh and these are my mates; Lou, Lozz, Dev, Sam, Nat, Cherry and Chels" I introduced they each said "Hi" when I said their names "Guys these are my new mates; Rainy, Keeley, Zsa, Verity and Hannah. Alright come on then come in! And ignore those two they'll be at it for hours honestly... well I hope so it'll be funny. Funnier if it rained... anyway come in" They walked in and as I turned around to close the door and lock them out I noticed another group of kids walking by the front of the house. "Who are they?" I asked squinting at them

"Oh that's Sam and his group that go around beating people up just stay away fr-" I had already started walking out to them not bothering listening to Verity's explanation.

"Hey!" I whistled at them to get their attention "Yeah you!"

"What you want girly?" Asked one kid who had had all of his hair shaved off, winking at me. I gave him a disgusted look

"I wanna know why you can't just go die in a hole and leave people alone!"

"Oh so Fang's there is he? Just the guy we're looking for. Step aside we need to talk about something."

"Yeah... you and whose army?"

"Uh this one" Said Sam in a 'Duh' tone

"That it?" I asked looking at the ensemble of about 10 guys all with shaved heads and hoodies

"Yeah do you see any others?"

"Well you'll see mine in a minute if you do leave"

"Yeah about 4 girls that's so scary!" He replied and they all pretended they were scared their knees knocking together

"Do you wanna see? 'Cause I'm sure there's more than that" I nodded turning towards the house, I could see Absy's face hidden at the window. I raised my eyebrows at him and put two fingers in my mouth and blew a shrill whistle. He nodded just a fraction but left the window and soon enough all the guys started walking out of the house and up to us, then followed by the girls. "Right let's have a head count!" I said pointing to all the girls mouthing the numbers "Oh hang on there's 14 girls including me, well 15 if Ella wants to stop having her own fight but I'm not counting her to be honest. And oh look a hell of a lot of guys so that's my army. How about you leave then seeing as though I have about oh 15 guys"

"Bye" Waved Absy as they started to move awkwardly away, but one clearly decided – or he was blind – and took a swing at Absy he caught his fist easily and kicked him in the balls "That's a warning now leave" Growled Absy menacingly

"This isn't finished yet Nick!" Shouted Sam walking away quite fast

"Twat" I muttered
