Chapter 20
"Hey, look its Max!"
"Max!"
"Maxy!"
"AHHH!!! MAX!!!! YOU'RE HERE!!!!"
"Calm down Nudge, you're going to hurt yourself."
"Sorry, but Max is here! I haven't seen her since the day we were, well, here but I didn't get to see her when she was in the hospital because Paul and uhh, what's name again? Oh, never mind, but like I was saying I have a right to be excited! I am a woman with ri-"
"Nudge, your talking is making my ears hurt." Angel said in an little voice, rubbing her ear.
"Oh, sorry Angel."
I smiled and then gave all of them a big hug.
Asher hadn't driven me home, (Thank goodness) instead he drove me to Fay's where everyone was. Not to mention Nudge speaking nonstop.
"How are you honey?" Fay asked rubbing my back.
"I'm good." I smiled up at her from where I was sitting, "I'm doing really good."
Fay had closed the whole shop and just let us come here. It was Fay, (well duh!) Asher, Ella, Iggy, Angel, Gasman, Nudge, and me. We all were sitting on or in a seat by the bar. Fay was behind it wiping the counter after Gazzy hiccupped so hard he jumped and knocked his Sprite over.
"When you see my face hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell. When you walk my way hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell!"(Repeats two more times)
Iggy looked at me, "What the he-"
"Language!" I chastised him. I nodded to Angel and Gazzy who were wondering where the song was coming from, "There are kids around."
"But where's that coming from?" Nudge asked.
I sighed and rolled my eyes, "My ringtone for when Jeb calls."
Everyone gave me an "Ooooh," face.
"Hello?" I said into the phone.
"Maximum!" Jeb screeched in my ear. I had to pull it away a little so my eardrums wouldn't burst.
"Uh, yes daddy dearest?"
"Where in the world are you?! And why do I have a hospital bill the size of CANADA with your name on it?!?!"
Wow, anger problems much?
"Well," I said in a matter-of-fact voice, "I was in the hospital for about, eh, say, four days. There was this really big and scary guy daddy who gave me a boo boo!" I was acting like such a brat, but it was fun! Everyone was laughing, "Can you believe that daddy?! I had to go to the doctor because he hurt me!"
"Why do I have a hospital bill?!?" he yelled.
Did you not just hear a word I said?
I decided to act blonde, "I didn't know hospitals gave you a bill…" I mumbled, "I thought that you just had to tell them thanks and they wouldn't charge you!"
He gave an almost animal like yell, "Where are you?!?!"
I could almost see the vain on his forehead bulge out and his almost purple. Haha, I could also picture steam coming out of his ears. Haha, funny thought…
I looked around before answering, "At a place…"
"Maximum! I do not have time for games!"
"Who said I'm playing a game? And if I was it would probably be Monopoly. I like Monopoly. It's really fun to play. Have you ever played it? We should play it sometime when you're not at work. Oh! Or we could play it over that computer video camera thingy! We should get one of those don't you thi- hello? Daddy you there?" I smirked as I closed my phone, "Hopefully he won't be calling back for a while."
"Wow," Ella said, "I never knew hearing Nudge talk all the time could be so helpful."
"I know!" Nudge said, "I'm helpful! Wait. What? I do not talk THAT much!"
"Nudge," Iggy said, placing a hand on her shoulder, "You have a talking problem."
She crossed her arms and pouted, "No, I don't. I just have an opinion."
"A big a opinion." I heard Asher mutter under his breath.
"Ok, ok. Enough chit chat." Fay said, "Let's hear a song!"
Everyone got excited and we all agreed. Asher and Iggy went to set up the drum set. Ella and Nudge went to set up guitars and mikes. Gazzy tried to blow bubbles in his new cup of Sprite. And Angel looked up at me with a hopeful expression.
I bent down and picked her up with some difficulty. I wasn't supposed to pick anything over five pounds for a few days, but I'm not going to listen to the doctors.
"What's up Angel?" I asked her, smoothing her curls.
He bit her lip and looked down, "Could I maybe sing a song?"
"What song?"
Aww, Angel was already wanting to be in the family business.
"Remember that one song that you made for me?" she asked, looking up at me with her bright blue eyes.
I smiled and nodded, "Yes, ma'am I do."
She got an excited look, "Could we do that song?"
I nodded, "Sure, do you want the full band or just me?"
She thought for a minute, "Just you. Besides I don't think they know how to play it."
I laughed, "Yeah I don't think they do." I kissed her forehead before looking up, "Oi!" I whistled, "Angel is going to sing a song first and I'm going to be playing the piano."
Everyone looked surprised, but got off the stage and sat in the front couple of tables.
I took Angels hand and led her up to the mike, well mostly hobbled up there. (I still had the boot on.) I had to lower the mike stand all the way to the bottom, and even then, I had to turn the mike downwards so it would work.
"How about I just hold the microphone?" Angel said, looking up at me.
Oh, why didn't I think of that?
I smiled and nodded.
She took the mike into her tiny little hand and looked at everyone sitting there was smiles on their faces.
"Hello." Her sweet childish voice rang out through the Coffee Shop.
"Hello." Everyone said to her with adoring smiles.
"My name is Angel and I'm gunna sing a song!" She smiled proudly, "She's Max." She jabbed her small thumb backwards where I was standing behind the keyboard.
"I'm gunna sing a song called One Voice." Everyone clapped, "Max made it for me!"
I tried not to laugh as she acted like Asher and I did before our concerts.
She snapped her little fingers together, (Well…tried to…) "One, two, three."
I started a slow soft melody. Angel swayed to the music, holding the microphone in both of her little hands in front of her.
Then she sang like…well…like an angel.
Some kids have and some don't
And some of us are wondering why…
Everyone stared at her with their mouths hanging. They didn't know she had such a beautiful voice for such a young age.
Mom won't watch the news at night
There's too much stuff that's making her cry…
She shuffled her feet a little before singing again.
We need some help
Down here on earth
A thousand prayers, a million words
But one voice was heard
Everyone started clapping for her as she finished the chorus.
A house, a yard, a neighborhood
Where you can ride your new bike to school…
A kind of world where Mom and dad
Still believe in the golden rule…
Angel was a beautiful singer. She could have any record deal she wanted if an agent heard her sing. She would be a millionaire at the age of six!
Life's not that simple
Down here on earth
A thousand prayers, a million words
But one voice was heard
She help up her pointer finger and smiled.
One voice, one simple word
Hearts know what to say
One dream can change the world
Keep believing
Till you find a way
Everyone was even more shocked as her small, but powerful voice sailed throughout the shop. She didn't crack or miss a note. Everything was perfect…like an angel.
Yesterday while walking home
I saw some kid on Newberry road
He pulled a pistol from his bag
And tossed it in the river below
She smiled her angelic smile.
Thanks for the help
Down here on earth
A thousand prayers, a million words
But one voice was heard
One voice was heard
One voice was heard
She ended on a pitch perfect note, and then I ended on a medium-ish sounding note.
She looked at all of us expectedly, but everyone was in shock. Then Asher finally got up from his chair and surrounded Angel in a hug.
"You sing like an Angel." I heard him whisper in her ear.
She smiled, "Thanks Ashy." She patted his hair.
He looked so proud of her I felt tears form in my eyes.
Oh, stop Max! Since when have you become such a softy!
I walked over to her and clapped, "Bravo Angel!"
Everyone snapped out of their daze and clapped along with me. Iggy did one of those whistles where you stick your fingers in your mouth.
"Go Angel!"
I swung her up in my arms and tickled her.
"You're so cute!" I said as I sat her down.
Man, I was already tired.
She looked at me brightly, "I remember when you were my age and you were cute too!"
I laughed at her and ruffled her hair.
She's still a little six year old no matter how big she can sing.
That actually happened to me! Except the singing part…but my little cousin did say that except it was like:
"You're so funny."
"I remember when you were my age and you were funny too!"
But still!
Hope you liked it!
Sorry if you hated it!
It was mostly a filler!
Happy New Years!
Thanks!
