Chapter 18: Alternate POV's.

Nudges POV

"Alright, hey guys you all know who we are so I'm not going to bother talking. Here are some of our latest songs." Fang said. I rolled my eyes from where I sat behind the piano. Personally I think he could have embellished a little, maybe some talk about how hard he worked to write the songs and how hard we practice and how we appreciate their listening to us, and—

Iggy started playing.

We played through our allotted time to perform, about half an hour. Then Fang told the crowd we had one more song to play and looked directly at Max where she stood back in the crowd. I'd been watching her watch him all night. Those two were so in love and barely realized it! I was so proud of Ella and my work too! She looked stunning. Her brown, actually I'm going to call it mahogany, hair was half up and curled lightly to her shoulder blades. I still say she'd look good as a blond.

But it was her dress that caught attention! It was awesome. Blue, black, and sassy! Only Max could pull off that dress and everyone there knew it.

The song was one that Fang had written for Max. He would never admit it but it was practically screaming that he loved her. Ella and I thought it was beautiful. The guys thought it was sappy, but they didn't dare tell Fang that. He'd probably kill them.

We started playing.

(You and Me by Lifehouse)

What day is it? And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive

I can't keep up and I can't back down

I've been losing so much time

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to lose

And it's you and me and all other people

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

I felt tears sting my eyes as I listened to Fang's beautiful voice sing this beautiful song.

One of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right

I'm tripping on words

You've got my head spinning

I don't know where to go from here

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to prove

And it's you and me and all other people

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you-

I noticed that Lissa came up to Max and was quietly talking to her. Max was trying to blow her off but Lissa didn't get the hint and kept talking.

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to lose

And it's—

Suddenly Lissa said something that made Max clench her hands in deadly fists. I watched as Max rolled her eyes and snapped back at Lissa. This song meant so much to Max and Fang and this little Pippy Long Stocking wannabe was ruining it. Oh if I got my hands on her….

Nothing to prove

And it's you an—

"Bitch!" the rest of Lissa's words were lost in the din from the crowd, slowly starting to circle the two girls, and the song.

Max turned to Lissa and said something, probably a witty retort that I had no idea how she could come up with but was fricken hilarious.

That's when Lissa slapped Max.

We stopped playing immediately, not caring that the song wasn't finished, and jumped off the stage, Fang in the lead.

There was a commotion and we broke through the crowd in time to see Max straddling Lissa and punch her in the face.

Damn, it was a good punch.

Fang rushed to her side as faculty members started to push through the crowd. He pulled Max off Lissa and restrained her, whispering something in her ear.

"No. She's….gonna…die!" Max shrieked. Lissa looked terrified where she lay on the floor. Ha, I bet she regrets messing with Max! Especially since her nose looked a little crooked under all that blood….

Fang whispered to Max again. Whatever it was Max calmed down and, after one last loathing look at Lissa (I now know where the saying 'if looks could kill' came from) and started heading through the crowd.

"Yeah Max, back down! We all know who would have really won this fight." Lissa said. Someone had helped her up and she was now standing in the center of the crowd (how she always liked it) smirking at Max. That girl really had no common sense if she was going to keep going….

Max's back stiffened but she kept walking, Fang had his hand placed gently on her back, propelling her forward. The rest of the Flock started to follow. We were almost out of the gym when Lissa's snide, and very annoying voice, broke through the crowd: "You're just a slut who steals other girl's boyfriends for a good ride."

I gaped at her. Ella gaped at her. The entire school gaped at her.

And Max…well I only blinked and Max was back in front of Lissa. That girl has some major speed…

"Don't you ever call me that again hoe or I will make your life a living hell." Max threatened, holding Lissa by the front of her whorish dress.

"You wouldn't." Lissa gulped. I didn't blame her, Max looked fierce. And at this moment, she was meaner than a rabid wolverine.

"Try me." She hissed and shoved Lissa.

Just as Max pushed the bitch away Lissa reached up and grabbed a fistful of Max's hair.

Oh that was low! I thought, pulling a girls hair! What a cheap shot! What a…

Max's hair, or should I say wig, came off as Lissa stumbled away.

I looked at Lissa (who was looking between the wig in her hands in shock and Max) and Max, who now stood wide eyed, staring at Lissa, with blond hair flowing down her back.

Max….Ride?

Oh holy s—

Ella's POV

Max's hair (wig?) came off in Lissa's hands. I looked at Max. Max had blond hair.

What? Wig? Why? Max? Blond? Record deal?

"Max Ride," I breathed.

Gazzy's POV:

Max has blond hair? Why was she wearing a wig? I thought only bald people wear wigs. Wait….now she looks a lot like Nudge's posters of…Max Ride…

Max….

Oh…

Iggy's POV

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

The blind kid misses everything….

Lissa's POV

I stared down at the wig in my hands. My nose still throbbed from that bitch punching me but suddenly that pain was shoved to the back of my mind as I looked at Max again.

Then the wig.

Then Max.

Not just Max.

Max Ride.

Oh….how do I get to be friends with the celebrity?

"I-I-I-" I stuttered before her fist slammed into my face again.

"You bitch!" I heard her scream before it all went black.

Fang's POV

Cat's out of the bag. I looked at the Flock, who were all staring at Max with eyes the size of dinner plates (except Iggy, nobody's filled him in yet). Camera's started going off. People started screaming.

"You bitch!" Max screamed at Lissa punching her. Lissa went down again. Then Max pivoted, glancing at the Flock with sad, panicked eyes, before turning and running through the crowd (who parted like the Red Sea) and into the school parking lot.

By the time we made it to the parking lot Max was peeling out of there like a bat out of hell.

That's when everyone turned to me, questions in their eyes.

Review!

Peace!
