Chapter 9
Two Is Better Than One
Max P.O.V.
"Guys, Shut Up!" Mr. Star shouted, shutting us up at once. Our heads snapped to him always, like we were a rubber band just flicked through a crowd of monkey-alligators. Pretty funny sight if you ask me. We were all gathered in a mini herd behind the curtain in front of the stage.
"Now this song better be good, we've never heard it before" Mr. Star said sharply. Man does he get mad or what when it gets close to competition?
"Stage, front and center now, both of you" We nodded and walked out of the bright red curtains into a yellow lighted gym. Other students from choir were shuffling toward an empty set of bleachers in the gym.
Mini and I walked up to two microphones. The gym grew quite as the soft music began to play and we began to sing.
"Safe & Sound"(By Taylor Swift! I Do not Own! Mini= Bold. Max = Italic. Both= Normal and underline)
(feat. The Civil Wars)
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
The Crowd leaned forward in their seats as I started to sing
Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh. [x2]
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh. [x7]
The choir was hanging onto our every word as the music flowed out and stopped. Mr. Star, whipping his eyes, stood up and started to clap.
"Now, you have one more song you're going to sing by yourself? Right Max?" Mr. Star asked, the room deadly silently.
"That's right" I spoke into the microphone. Mini gave my arm a quick squeeze and ran down the stairs like a herd of elephants and joined one of her many friends in the stage.
Closing my eyes I took a very deep breathe and nodded. Mr. Star yelled something across the room and the music started to play. I fixed my eyes on the doors at the back of the gym.
She Will Be Loved By Maroon 5. I DO NOT OWN)
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
I started to sway alone with the music
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Talking a look around the gymnasium, I realized every eye was fixed on me.
I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
Making sure I meet every eye in the gym, I sand the last parts of the song.
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
[in the background]
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Yeah
[softly]
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Try so hard to say goodbye
Squeezing my eyes closed, I took a deep breath as the music cut out for the last night. Clapping exploded from everywhere. People jumped up out of their seats and started stomping on the bleachers as they started chanting my name. It was magical.
Mini launched herself up onto the stage and wrapped her arms around me in a rib cracking hug. That's when I heard it. The creaking. The nail break crunch.
The gym went quite.
"Mini, Max Mov…" Mr. Star's words were cut off by an extremely loud creaking and popping sound. Mini and My eyes locked. Our hands shot out and met and held together strongly as one of the main projectors fell, from 20 feet above.
I heard screaming. Terrified panic. I wonder if I can scream.
The projector hits its target. Us.
With that, I find my voice. I let out one bloody curdling scream as I fast forwarded into the sweet sweet darkness.

I want you guys to think of the last part of this like from a scene of a movie. Their hands flashing out and holding on, the projector falling. The scream. Everything.
