Its 6:00 P.M right now and we're all sitting in the living room watching the Office. To be honest it's pretty funny but I've seen all the episodes already, so I'm pretty bored.
We should be on the borderline of New York in just a few minutes, and we're stopping so Justin can take a nap and we're supposed to be off the bus for at least 3 hours.
The borderline has a lot of things to do, Black*Star and me looked it up on his phone and there's a cool club that we want to check out, so we're stopping a few miles away from it and taking a cab there.
"Maka snap out of it." Liz pushes me off the couch and I fall with an oof.
"God you could've just said so, you didn't need to push me." I say pulling myself back up to my spot next to Black*Star and Liz.
"I did you wouldn't listen." She rolls her eyes and I blush a little. "When are we going to be there? Your God is bored and tired of having to hear whiny girls all day!" Black*Star complains and I hit him in the arm.
"Ow! Why'd you hit me?" He rubs his arm. "I barley touched you! Jeez for a 'God' you're such a weenie!" I cross my arms and he puffs out his chest and stands up. "I'm not a weenie tiny-tits" He smirks and looks at me chest.
I throw my arms over my chest and look around, I see that everybody is watching and waiting to see what I do next. I meet Soul's eyes and he smiles widely. Yeah I still haven't forgiven him yet…not even close.
"Their not so small!" I say and fume red when everyone laughs.
"Oh really, what are you an A?" He asks and I blush out of embarrassment. "Ha you are!" He points a finger at me and I roll my eyes.
"No I'm not you jackass! I'm a B thank you very much!" I say and when he smirks again my hand twitches for my biggest book. I swear he says one more thing it's going in his head.
"Not that much of a difference. I mean I guess it doesn't matter since you are the youngest in the group…what are you ten?" He points to my pig-tails and I scream.
"SHUT UP! YOU FUCKING BITCH!" I scream and make everybody jump.
"I'm not a fucking kid and at least I act my age! God I'm so tired of everyone telling me what I lack! Obviously I know I'm not beautiful or don't have a giant rack like all you guys like to drool over! I'm so fucking sorry I'm not like the other fucking girls on this stupid bus! I'm freaking sorry for not being as amazing as all of you fucking morons!"
I let everything out, because between things that happened this morning with Soul and seeing that smirk, then talking about first kisses with the girls and how everybody has had theirs but I haven't, yeah I was ready to blow.
"Maka chill out, I never said that," Black*Star starts but I cut him off. "No I'm so tired of this! I don't care if you didn't say anything like this shit; I just need to get out of here." I say and stop over to the door but stop when I hear a sniffle.
I look over my shoulder and see Tsubaki with her hand over her mouth and tears running down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry Tsubaki, it's nothing you need to cry about, I'm not worth it seriously. I just need to think."
I say and the second I feel the bus stop and Stein comes in to tell us we're free to go, I'm already out the small door and out into the warm November air.
"I didn't do anything! You all heard! She just flipped out!" Black*Star protest at my cold glare.
We decided to head to the club and see if that's where Maka ran off to, she really shouldn't be out here by herself, I mean what if something happens to her? So not cool.
"I really hope she's okay." Tsubaki says and Black*Star wraps an arm around her shoulders; she blushes and leans her head on his shoulder. I roll my eyes.
"She's fine! I gave her the blessing of my giraffe! He always protects you." She whispers the last part and I wish the Taxi would just get here already.
"Yeah, she just needed some air, she hasn't flipped out like that in a while, actually it's been a few years, after she caught her dad in the act with her history teacher." Liz explains and we all nod, knowing the story behind Maka and her good for nothing father.
"Why haven't you said anything Soul? Aren't you worried about Maka?" Kid asks and I raise an eyebrow. "I don't need to worry." I shrug trying to keep the real worry off my face.
"Aren't you her boyfriend?" Patti pipes in and I flinch. "Hell no, why would you say that?" I say and all eyes are on me.
"Oh you want to be her boyfriend right? Because I saw you guys this morning and you tried to kiss her! That's what you do when you when you're in love with someone. That's what Sis told me last night!" Liz and Kid flush and look away from each other.
"Right Patti." She says and Kid smiles and takes her hand.
"Okay first…I wasn't trying to kiss her, and I don't like her, I was messing with her, because she's fucking violent and needed a taste of her own medicine, and because I'm a cool guy and cool guys don't hit girls, I had to do something else." I say and throw my hands up in the air.
"But that was you outside are door this afternoon right." Tsubaki says and Black*Star chuckles.
I feel my face get red but I hold it down because cool guys don't blush, blushing isn't cool.
"I was trying to get some more dirt on Maka!" I say and then Liz says, "So you heard that she wants her first kiss with some one she knows?" "No I heard that you wanted her to kiss some random stranger though." I lied about the first part…of course I heard.
"Well she said no. so you can still do it." Tsubaki says and my jaw drops. "I'm not kissing Maka; I don't like her like that. We're friends, and band mates! That's it." I say and when the taxi pulls up I open the door and yell behind me, "Get the next one, this one's full."
And with that I tell the gruff old man where to go, and make my way to 'Rockers Beauty.'
I pulled into Rockers Beauty about 12 minutes after I stormed off.
I signed a few autographs and took a few pictures. Then the manager found me and asked me to do a song for them, I agreed having the perfect song in mind.
He took me to the back room and gave me some extra clothing, he also said that I could keep them afterward, and even though I normally wouldn't wear a black mini skirt and a tight red tank top, on any normal day I thought I could at least wear it when I do concerts and stuff.
I finished tying my black high tops back up and decided to take my 'childish' pig-tails out and shook my head a little to let it fall down my back.
"I'm ready." I force a smile and the man named Chris leads me to the small stage with a band setting up.
"Okay listen up rockers! We have someone very special guest tonight! The very Maka Albarn from the Soul Eater's!" Chris shouts over the microphone and waves me up to him. I smile and walk ob stage and wave politely when the people cheer.
"Please take it away Maka; we all love your music." Chris exists the stage and I whisper to the band what song I'm going to play, they all smile and nod and get into position.
"Hey guys! I'm glad to be here, and I hope you like the song, it kind of fits how I feel right now!" I say and the somewhat 100 people cheer again.
I point to the band and the music starts and I hum along with it for a minute.
"I will not make The same mistakes that you did I will not let myself Cause my heart so much misery I will not break The way you did, you fell so hard I've learned the hard way To never let it get that far."
The drums start and I put both my hand on the microphone.
"Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me Because of you I am afraid."
The music gets quit again and flashes of the kids in school calling me names, pulling my pig-tails and making fun of how smart I am run through my head, I don't notice that a familiar lead singer walks through the door.
"I lose my way And it's not too long before you point it out I cannot cry Because I know that's weakness in your eyes I'm forced to fake A smile, a laugh everyday of my life My heart can't possibly break When it wasn't even whole to start with"
I remember how when mama left I stopped crying because I was tired of showing weakness, I was so little when she left, I was 6 years old and she left me with the man who ruined her life, thinking I was going to turn out handy dandy! I close my eyes tighter and hold back the tears as the music picks back up.
"Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me Because of you I am afraid."
I sing louder and meaning every word when I see my papa in my head, bringing home a new lady friend. That's right I would walk to and from school everyday and be left alone until 7:30 each night until papa got home and sent me to bed so he and his friend could talk…bull shit.
"I watched you die I heard you cry every night in your sleep I was so young You should have known Better than to lean on me You never thought of anyone else You just saw your pain And now I cry in the middle of the night For the same damn thing!"
I remember once hearing my papa cry every night after his newest bed buddy left, crying and saying how much he loved his Kami and Maka, how hard he tries to stop. I would try to show him that he can get better by doing the right thing and getting good grades and keeping the house in shape, I wouldn't complain for things like a normal child, but no matter how hard I tried he still cheated and he cried every night because of it.
"Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything Because of you I don't know how to let anyone else in Because of you I'm ashamed of my life Because it's empty Because of you I am afraid."
I open my eyes finally and the very first person I see is Soul and the tears stream down my face. I can't hold it back any more and I'm not going to try to.
"Because of you Because of you"
I finish the song and the crowd is nearly in tears but the second Soul steps on stage all there jaws dropped and even louder cheers are heard.
"That was amazing Maka." He gets into my bubble and takes my hands into his face using his thumbs to wipe away the tears.
I sniff and nod, "I was pretty good huh." He chuckles. "I want to do one more song okay then we can get out of here." He tells me and my eyes widen. 'I'm not really fit to do another song if you can tell." I say but he ignores me and walks to the band, telling them the song of his choice.
"Hey guys! Me and Maka here are going to do one more song for you guys, just because we love you so much! Ho does that sound?" Soul takes the microphone away from me and talks to the audience. The cries of joy are too loud and I have to hold myself back from covering my ears.
"Okay then! I hope you enjoy!"
And then the music starts.
(Bold = Soul….Bold Italic = Maka….Italic = Both)
"This time, this place Misused, mistakes too long, too late who was I to make you wait? Just one chance, just one breath Just in case there's just one left 'Cause you know you know, you know"
Soul starts to sing and I feel my heart clench, I love this song but I'm still nervous.
I listen to Soul carefully and wait for my turn to sing.
"That I love you, I have loved you all along And I miss you, been far away for far too long I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore."
Soul sings beautifully and slowly walks up to me as I pull the microphone to my mouth. I meet his eyes and the whole club vanishes. It's only me, him and the music.
"One my knees, I'll ask Last chance for one last dance 'Cause with you I'd withstand All of it to hold your hand I'd give it all, I'd give for us Give anything but I won't give up 'Cause you know You know, you know"
Even though this is definitely not a duet I still feel something bubble in my stomach as he gets close enough to take my hand and place it on his chest, right over his heart…which is beating oddly fast. He watches every move my face makes as I sing and is eyes lower onto my lips as I place my hand over my stomach and sing out the next part of the song strongly.
"That I love you, I have loved you all along And I miss you, been far away for far too long I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore!"
I feel tears well up in my eyes again when I see the soft and gentle look in Souls eyes, it's very un Soul like, but I remember that he saw me cry just a few seconds ago and I curse myself for being weak.
"So far away, been far away for far too long So far away, been far away for far too long But you know You know, you know"
We both sing and jump a little when we hear the crowds burst of energy.
"I wanted I wanted you to stay 'Cause I needed I need to hear you say
I love you, I have loved you all along And I forgive you for being away for far too long So keep breathing 'cause I'm not leaving you anymore Believe it, hold on to me, never let me go."
Soul steps closer to me and I can't back away, I feel drawn to him like he's pulling me in...Wait, that my be his hand around my waist.
"Keep breathing 'cause I'm not leaving you anymore believe it, hold on to me, never let me go,"
He spins me in a circle and I accidentally put m hand over his heart when I stop spinning. He must've noticed that I was moving it away because he quickly places his hand over it and tugs me closer our microphones almost hit.
"Hold on to me, never let me go Hold on to me, never let me go"
He takes my hand in his other hand and puts it around his neck; I blush the whole time as the music starts to fade, and his face inches closer.
When all the music stops his lips meet mine in my very first kiss, with the one and only Soul Evans.
Okay so there you have it! Next chapter should be up on Tuesday! :)
