A/N so I got five reviews and I'm happy! Thanks guys it means a lot! Anyway as promised I'm posting this chapter. Here you go:
"What do you want?" I asked.
Sam, who was standing outside, held a single rose out to me and I just gave him a disapproving shake of my head.
"Just hear me out," Sam begged finally forgetting about the stupid flower. His strong arm reached out and his hand grabbed mine. I quickly wrenched my hand from his grasp and narrowed my eyes.
"Can we just talk?" Sam asked tiredly.
"You can talk and hope that I listen," I said angrily. Sam sighed and took a deep breath before motioning with his hand for me to come outside with him. I groaned and rolled my eyes but I followed him outside the house.
"Max you know I love you," Sam said quickly as I shut the door dividing us from everyone else in the process. "I would do anything for you and I made a mistake cheating and then letting you go."
"No shit Sherlock," I putting all the anger I felt into making myself sound bored to discourage him.
"I want you back," Sam said and he gently ran a finger through my hair. His touch was warm and inviting but most importantly familiar. I knew Sam. I knew how he would react to something. I know how he feels. I know how he thinks. I know how he acts. There's always that one part of you that clings to the things that are familiar because they feel safe to you. Fortunately for me my brain and heart cling to my sanity and happiness so Sam was spit out of luck.
"I don't want you back," I scoffed.
"I know that's not true," Sam said softly.
"You should also know, then, that you're delusional," I scoffed again.
"Max give us another shot. Come to L.A. with me. We can spend the weekend together and just catch up. We can reconnect and things can go back to normal. We were happy, we had fun. We can make this work I know we can." Sam said a ghost of a smile crossed his face and I frowned.
"What if I don't want to make it work?" I said causing Sam's face to fall. "I'm done Sam it's too late. You don't get to pick and choose when you like me. It doesn't work like that. I have absolutely no feelings for you. Goodnight." I said crossing my arms. Sam actually looked sad though for some reason I don't feel like it's because of me. I stepped back and quickly walked back inside.
Everyone but Jeb, Ash, and Fang stood guiltily by the door when I walked in. None of them could meet my eyes.
"They call me heartbreaker," Iggy sang breaking the silence. At least he didn't pretend that he wasn't listening. Although he was probably just listening because Ella was. I gave Iggy a smiled and the boys let out some chuckles. Nudge and Ella looked at me sympathetically but I pretended not to notice. I was fine to be honest. I little exhausted after this day but fine regardless.
"You know I think I'm just going to put an end to this miserable day and go to bed," I said smiling at my own misfortune.
I heard a quick course of goodnights as I walked down through the living room. Fang gave me one last look that held nothing and I couldn't help the guilty feeling rising in my stomach.
I guess I could put that problem off until the morning, couldn't I? Well, I'm going to no matter what anyone thinks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BREAK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I can't sleep," I sang quietly to myself.
"No I can't sleep
Can't sleep
No sleep for me
'Cause the music doesn't stop playing
So no sleep for me
'Cause there's music in my head
I think I may be crazy
But that's ok be-cause
I can't sleep
No I can't sleep
No sleep for meeee." What do you think of my two o'clock in the morning tune? That's right it's two in the morning and in case you didn't get it from the wonderful song, in which case you are highly stupid and should just quit at life now, I'm still fucking wide awake.
I have a song stuck in my head that is mostly written at this point but I just needed to figure it out. I know everyone is still here, because they seem to never get tired or ever feel the need to go home, so I can hear them. So really all I would need was for them to play.
The more I thought about how easy it would be to just hear the song and play it the better getting up and writing it sounded.
I sat and looked at the ceiling for a couple seconds before my curiosity got the best of me and I shot up and grabbed some paper and a pencil from my desk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I've got a song!" I announced as I landed on the ground after jumping down the last eight stairs. Yeah it's no surprise why I'm constantly injured.
Every head turned to me and I'm sure I looked Albert Einstein crazy. My hair was probably a mess from tossing and turning and my plaid pajama pants didn't add any amount of professionalism to anything.
"Thanks for sharing crazy," Iggy said rolling his eyes at me to which I narrowed my eyes at him.
"It's really good," I said angrily.
"So are Poptarts so why should I play your song instead of eating some Poptarts?" Iggy asked me making my life difficult.
"'Cause I'll hit you," I said grabbing the closest person to me, which happened to be Nudge. "C'mon we're doing this now!" I said impatiently. I scanned the room to see that Ash was sleeping.
"Ash let's go music emergency!" I screamed up the stairs hurting my throat slightly in the process. I heard pounding footsteps and yelling from upstairs.
"Fire!" Ash yelled and I heard what sounded like a stampede come down the stairs.
Ash, My mother, and Jeb all ran down the stairs frantically. Angel was flung over Ash's shoulders as they bolted for the door.
"Let's go kids fire!" My mom yelled as the three of them grabbed each of us and ran. I guess yelling emergency in the middle of the night wasn't my smartest decision yet.
"There's no fire!" I yelled yanking my arm from my mother's steel grip. "I yelled music emergency!" All three adults stopped dead in their tracks and I got three glares.
"It better be the fucking end of the music industry Maximum," My mother said furiously letting me hear the first time she's ever sworn.
"It will be for everyone else once we release the new album with the awesome song I just wrote! Total payback for Sam!" I said smirking nervously. My mom sighed and just started walking back upstairs.
"You know better than that," Jeb said giving me a disapproving look that seemed to hit home. Then Jeb turned and started walking back up the stairs.
"Let's hear it," Ash said tiredly. He set Angel down and whispered something to her. Angel nodded and started to walk towards Fang. Ash looked at Fang and pointed to Angel. Fang scooped Angel up looking the same way towards her as he had towards me when he was fixing my cut today.
"C'mon let's go back to bed princess," Fang said sweetly and then started to bring her back up the stairs. The rest of us started going down stairs.
Everyone but Ash and I were still dressed so I felt really stupid next to all of them. Everyone went to their stations and I handed them music.
"One…two…three…four," Iggy said in time. Iggy and Dylan started to play. (Too little too late Jojo)
"Come with me," I sang.
"Stay the night
You say the words but boy it don't feel right," I shook my head frowning.
"What do ya expect me to say?" I raised my hands in question
"You know it's just too little too late," Nudge echoed.
"You take my hand," I sang.
"And you say you've changed
But boy you know your begging don't fool me
Because to you it's just a game," I ran a hand through my hair and studied Ash as he listened carefully.
"You know it's just too little too late," Nudge echoed.
"So let me on down
'Cause time has made me strong
I'm starting to move on
I'm gonna say this now
Your chance has come and gone," I pointed over my shoulder with my thumb.
"And you know...
It's just too little too late
A little too wrong
And I can't wait," I shook my head.
"But you know all the right things to say."
"You know it's just too little too late," Nudge sang.
You say you dream of my face," I ran my fingertips down the side of my face involuntarily.
But you don't like me," I shook my head a little angry as I sang the truth.
You just like the chase
To be real," I smirked slightly.
It doesn't matter anyway," I shrugged.
"You know it's just too little too late," Nudge sang.
"Yeah, yeah... It's just too little too late... Mm," I sang softly.
"I was young
And in love," I couldn't help but smile at the memory. Fang had just come down and seemed a little angry and stiff at my words.
"I gave you everything
But it wasn't enough
And now you wanna communicate," I rolled my eyes.
"You know it's just too little too late," Nudge echoed.
"Go find someone else," I sang.
I'm letting you go
I'm loving myself," I rested a hand on my heart.
You got a problem
But don't come asking me for help," I sang out.
"'Cause you know...
"It's just too little too late
A little too wrong
And I can't wait," I shrugged as if to say 'oh well'.
"But you know all the right things to say."
"You know it's just too little too late," Nudge echoed.
"You say you dream of my face," My hand ran down my face again.
"But you don't like me," I shook my head.
"You just like the chase
To be real
It doesn't matter anyway," I shrugged.
"You know it's just too little too late," Nudge echoed.
"I can love with all of my heart, baby," I sang slowing slightly.
"I know I have so much to give
"I have so much to give," Nudge echoed.
"With a player like you I don't have a prayer," I shook my head somewhat angrily.
"That's the way to live," I smirked happy that I wasn't changed by a boy.
"Oh... mm no," I sang softly.
"It's just too little too late
Yeah," I sang out.
"It's just too little too late
A little too wrong
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say," I smiled remembering all the times Sam had made me feel special and happy.
"You know it's just too little too late," Nudge sang.
"You say you dream of my face," I ran a hand through my hair and watched Fang.
"But you don't like me
You just like the chase
To be real
It doesn't matter anyway," I shrugged.
"You know it's just too little too late," Nudge sang.
"Yeah," I sang.
"You know it's just too little too late
Oh, I can't wait," I sang out.
"It's just too little too late
A little too wrong
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say," I flicked my eyes to Fang to find him still inspecting me.
"You know it's just too little too late," Nudge sang.
"You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase
To be real
It doesn't matter anyway," I trailed off and waited for Ash's reaction.
"Yeah I like it, actually I love it. Got attitude. Let's try and do an upbeat song next time, get some diversity." Ash said quickly and tiredly and then walked out of the room without another word.
"What do you guys think?" I asked the band. As a response I got some high fives, pats on the back, and smiles. Basically they liked it.
"Now I'm going to bed," I declared walking out of the room giving Fang a parting glance.
A/N Hope you guys liked! Please review it makes me really happy!
