Chapter 33 Alternate POVs
Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride
Fangs POV
The Flock and I joined Mackie in the crowd as Max walked onto the stage. The crowd roared for her. She smiled politely and nodded her head, waving in acknowledgement before taking the mic at center stage.
She looked amazing. The sun was starting to go down behind the stage's curtains, surrounding the entire stage in a golden glow while still allowing us to see the people on the stage. Max herself was dressed in simple black and white, dressed more for comfort than style, something I loved about her.
She nodded to her band and they started playing.
The first four songs went by quickly, they were song's we'd all heard before but were still amazing to hear her sing live.
The last song was going to be her new song. Everyone was on their toes, eager to hear what next work of art Max Ride had come up with. We expected her to launch right into the song like she'd done with the rest of her set, instead, she stopped and looked out at the crowd.
"Hi everyone," she said into my microphone. She looked nervous, something I didn't think possible for someone who spent so much time on stage. "My name is Max. I know you all already know some of my story by now. My mom and I moved to Navajo to try and have a semblance of a normal life. When I moved here I don't know what it was I was expecting. Maybe some people who I could hang out with and be normal around. I thought I'd never tell anyone about who I really was. Then I met some people who changed how I looked at life." The Flock beamed when they were mentioned. I just kept staring at Max, that wasn't what she was nervous about.
She continued. "I got more than friendship, I got an extended family. I got sisters and brothers and someone in particular who I could tell anything. He knew my secret before anyone else and he's just the best guy I could ask for. And I screwed things up." I blinked. Had I heard right? Had Max just admitted that she had screwed up? What had she screwed up? It was all my, well Lissa's, fault. The Flock, Mackie, Chuck, and Ms. Martinez were now turning their heads back and forth to watch my reaction and Max's speech.
I was listening to Max in rapture. "This song is about that person. Fang," She sighed and blushing as she finally looked at me. I knew I was staring wide eyed at her. Well, I wasn't the only one. She was apologizing.
Maybe the world was ending. "I'm sorry." She whispered. Then she looked away and started to sing.
(Fall Into Me by Hey Monday)
I was looking through the chair
You were looking through the mirror
Never met eyes
No, I've never seen clearer than now
There's no way out
I'm tingling in places I didn't know existed
How are things right and also twisted?
How can we work this out?
Somehow everything in me is changing
In the most amazing kind of way
Every single breath you take away
Gives me more life than before
We could be the perfect masterpiece
Baby, bring me in
And fall into me
Whenever you are near
I feel like we could do anything
And I think we should now
We'll take the town
Your eyes tell me something
Afraid to misread
But if I'm wrong
What if you mislead me?
Still, it's worth the thrill
Somehow everything in me is aching
Just to hear your gentle voice again
Every single breath you take away
Gives me more life than before
We could be the perfect masterpiece
Baby, bring me in
Things aren't simple anymore
Can't jump in until you know
But I think that I just might
Close my eyes and hold on tight
To every single breath
To every single breath
Every single breath you take away
Gives me more life than before
We could be the perfect masterpiece
Baby, bring me in
Every single breath you take away
Gives me more life than before
We could be the perfect masterpiece
Baby, bring me in
Bring me in and fall into me
She made eye contact with me as she finished the song. I was still wide eyed and gaping at her.
I should have never doubted how she felt for me. That song described our relationship, our ability to communicate without words, perfectly. I heard Gazzy and Iggy talking and I heard Max's mom crying. I don't know what the others were doing because I couldn't take my eyes off of Max.
The crowd roared around me as they fell in love with Max's new song. I'm positive I loved that song more than anyone else here. My heart was thumping loudly in my chest.
Well, at least I knew she'd like the song I was going to sing next. Suddenly I couldn't wait to get up onto the stage and basically profess my love for her.
Max waved to the crowd before rushing back behind stage.
Well, she'd apologized (no matter how needless it had been, it was still amazing to hear how she felt about me).
Now it was my turn.
This was originally going to be chapter 34 but I didn't like how it flowed with the entire story so I took it out.
