Al sighed heavily. This was going to be a good night…and he had to tell her, and well if he didn't he knew monk would. He sighed, deeply. He had to go get ready now. Everyone was looking forward to it. It was only 3 hours away now. Ed was just sitting on the floor in the corner. Wondering who killed Schizka? It just didn't make sense. Ed sighed deeply and got up.
Max's alarm beeped on her bedside table, she moaned and woke up. Turning it off, 2 hours go fast when you're trying to get some rest. She had no choice but to get up and get ready. She moved her black hair out her face and walked into the kitchen to make herself some noodle's. She needed to eat; she hadn't that well over the last few days. Don't really want to collapse of the stage do we?
Max sighed and ate some of the noodles and looked at her phone. She had a new message, it was from monk, saying good luck and screaming down the phone about how excited she was. Max smiled monk was always like that. She sighed and finished her noodle's and got ready for her show…
A few hours later, max was now at the school hall. Sorting out all the lights and sounds ready for the music teacher who was giving her a hand with it. Some of the teachers were watching her at the door. Just encase there were any problems. But she knew exactly what she was doing. She went up to the stage and connected the microphones and making sure all her instruments were tuned up.
She dropped her guitar of the stage accidentally, breaking some strings, she sighed and jumped of the stage and looked at her guitar. A teacher walked into the room "Is the guitar broken…?" she asked. Max sighed and nodded "not for much longer" she said, drawing a transmutation circle and fixing the guitar quickly "good as new" she said, smiling and putting it back on its base.
The teacher just nodded and walked back to the door. All the teachers were quite shocked how many people wanted to come and see the concert. Max sat down on a nearby chair and closed he eyes, she wasn't nervous, just tired, but she knew she could do this a few hours wouldn't kill her, and then she could sleep as much as she wanted.
She sighed no one had seen her outfit yet. She was wearing her long black coat. Max sighed and went back stage to finish getting ready, the doors were open soon. She was glad Monk, Ed and Al were coming, that was really supportive, and they really didn't have too.
Monk ran to Ed and al's house, she was really excited, she just couldn't wait. She knocked on their door and walked in "Max's concert is like in 20 minutes, come on or we won't even get to the front!" She shouted. Al looked at her and nodded "okay lets go then…you have the tickets right…?" he asked. Monk nodded "ed ready? Or is he still plaiting his hair? Urgh…. so girly..." she said, accidentally shouting it.
Ed sighed and walked out his room "no im ready!" Ed shouted back and walked out. Al sighed and followed "Wow…grumpy…" monk whispered under her breath and followed them and then ran ahead. "COME ON!" she said, running ahead. Ed sighed…every time...Running…why? He sighed and ran after her Al following behind him.
Max had finished talking to the people who were helping her, doing the drums, bass guitar and other instruments for her so she could sing and play her acoustic guitar, she sighed wearing this black coat was making her a little hot and tired. But she had to wait.
Everyone was sat down on standing up in the hall now. Monk, Ed and al were right at the front, waiting for it all to start. Monk kept screaming loudly. Ed and Al sighed, they didn't mind, they were quite excited as well. Havoc and TJ were also there. Havoc wanted to thank Max…she really helped him earlier.
Max sighed everyone else was on stage getting ready to play, max took her coat off and pulled her hair out the pony tail it was in and walked onto stage, with a microphone in her hand. She stood in the middle of the stage, everyone was amazed, and she'd never looked so amazing.
Her black hair went just past her shoulders. With a red bow in the side of her hair, being held by a clip. Wearing a lot of eyeliner and red eye shadow, wearing a black long sleeved top, with a red vest top over it. Her drainpipe black jeans and her red converse all working into one.
Al knew he just skipped a beat when he saw her; he sighed and just watched her. Max's eyes were shut as the beat played behind her. Seeing the full intensity of how pretty her eye shadow was.
The piano was played quietly and all the other instruments started soon after. This song was probably the song she was best used too.
How can you see into my eyes like
open doors
leading you down into my core
where I've become so
numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you
find it there and lead it back home
Max sang with all her heart, to make the first song the best. Someone walked out of the back stage, max turned around; she smiled slightly, right on cue. Her friend 'Crash' was helping her out and doing a duet with her to start the show of, he didn't mind. (All the parts in brackets crash sings)
(Wake
me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up
inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake
me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come
undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become
now
that I know what I'm without
you can't just leave me
breathe
into me and make me real
bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake
me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save
me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid
my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save
me)
save me from the nothing I've become
Max walked of the stage and into the audience still singing and the music carrying on.
Bring
me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring
me to life
Max walked up to Al, Ed And Monk, she pressed her finger onto al's lips. Al tried not to blush heavily.
Frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead
Max moved her finger and looked back to crash, and jumped back on the stage
(All this time I can't believe I
couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of
me)
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open
my eyes to everything
(without a thought without a voice without a
soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more)
bring
me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't
wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save
me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't
wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the
nothing I've become
(Bring me to life)
I've been living
a lie, there's nothing inside
(Bring me to life)
She held the last note long and the music stopped. Everyone screamed, shouted, clapped and all. Max looked up and smiled. "Well…I hope you liked the beginning" she said into the microphone, They all screamed louder "well I'm glad you all came tonight…you probably all have better things to do…" she said, smiling. There all shook their heads.
Al was still blushing he seriously couldn't help it. Monk just laughed and carried on watching Max. Havoc nodded "she's good…better than anyone I've seen at least…" he said to TJ, she nodded "yeah she is!"
Max nodded "On With the show!" she shouted.
The concert carried on for hours. Singing songs that everyone loved, and none of the songs was she even bad at. Everyone was shocked, not many people could do certain songs and get away with it.
"I'll do one last songs guys…? Then I have to call it a night, the teachers are on my back about it…you guys can pick the last song?" she said, smiling slightly.
Monk thought a minute "PLAY KESENAI TSUMI" She shouted at the top of the lungs. Max looked at monk and nodded "okay…" she sat down on the chair and adjusted the microphone stand so it was next to her so she could sing down it and play her guitar.
Max sighed and played the guitar version and started to sing.
With you in my usual sight, I
can breath
Even though that's already plenty enough to me
The petty me does
nothing but repeat mistakes
How strong a strength do I need to
have so that nothing will get hurt?
Without
hesitation, I believe in this love and live on
I'll tightly
embrace your unbandaged wound
And together we'll keep on
walking, because we can't go back
Even now, the inerasable sin
deep in my chest hurts, but-
Darling
I remember the
painfulness of the love I lost back then
I'm a little
perplexed by the vivid blueness of this sky
For example, even
if I sacrificed something, I'd only believe in one thing
The
colour of the bloomed flowers in the instant when your
straightforward eyes reflect
Even if I'm
powerless, I'll live on strongly in this destiny
We'll join
our hands and our warmth's will melt together forever
If so,
even if the sins of more things to come will be painful
For example, if as long as I'm with you, even if we just turn against the waves of the world...
Without
hesitation, I believe in this love and live on
I'll tightly
embrace your unbandaged wound
Without
hesitation, I live in this destiny and live on
If I'm with
you, surely we'll be connected forever
And together
we'll only look forward, even if nothing came to be
done
Nevertheless, I'll keep on protecting you with my hands
by all means-
Darling
Everyone left after they cheered for 10 minutes. Max sat at the end of the stage and drank some water her throat was killing her now. She sighed and coughed weakly. Havoc walked up to her "that was great and…thanks for talking to me at the funeral and cheering me up…you made me see…thanks…really" Max opened her eyes and smiled "its fine really…. don't worry about it…" Havoc sighed "okay…you were really good though" Havoc left a minute later with TJ and just walked around for a while, telling TJ all the good times he had we Schizka.
Al walked up to max and sat down on the stage next to her. "Max…you were great…" Max smiled "Thanks al…" she replied. Ed and Monk were watching them from the door "should we be watching…?" Ed asked. "Were not watching…were just back up…if anything goes wrong" monk replied smiling.
"Max…there's something I need to tell you…" he said, placing a hand on her cheek, she nodded to tell him she was listening. "I…love you…and I have since I met you…I wanted to tell you before…but I couldn't…your just too good for me…but I can't hide these feelings anymore…"
Max blushed weakly "I…" she couldn't find the words. Al sighed, "if you don't feel the same way…I get it…" he said, getting up. Max got up as well and grabbed his hand "no…al…I love you too…I always have…" Al looked back at her they both smiled. "But…you were always perfect and…" max managed to say, before al kissed her deeply. Max just kissed back.
Ed and Monk watched "hehe…cute" monk said a little loudly. They both moved from the kiss and looked at monk and ed. Max just blushed and hugged closely into Al. Al just picked her up, he knew she was tired. She yawned and cuddled in closer.
Al, Monk and Ed Had a debate of whether they were watching or not. Monk and Ed lied and said they didn't. But by the time they knew it Max had fallen asleep in Al's arms.
