The next day, I woke up with a lump on my throat. I felt as if my heart was in two pieces. I showered and changed into something comfortable for today's show. I called the guys saying I was okay and that I'd meet them at the park at 3:00. Then Iggy knocked my room's door.

"Max open up!" he shouted. I sighed and unlocked my door.

"How are you?" he said. Tears welled up in my eyes and pulled me to him, wrapping his arms around me, and stroking my hair as I sobbed on his chest.

"It's okay, Maxie," he murmured.

"I can't believe he thinks I'd ever do that," I mumbled.

"Nudge and the other guys explained to him the truth. Nudge said Dylan just made up that stuff, and agreed to go to the dance with him since he would burn her parent's farm if she didn't," explained Iggy.

"Dylan's a monster," I sighed, once my tears stopped flowing.

"Yeah...I started chasing you the moment you left, so I don't know what happened to Fang-" I cut him off.

"I don't want to hear anything about that jerk. If Fang actually liked me, he would've believed me. So he can so fuck himself," I scowled. I don't even want to see his face. I didn't feel sad anymore, I felt anger.

"You sure you wanna do the show?"

"Of course I do!"

"Awesome! Mom and Dad want an explanation though," smiled Iggy. I sighed and we both headed downstairs.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++Time skip to before show cuz I'm lazy+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

We had finished setting up at the park (picture of park stage on top) with the instruments in place, two hours before the show. I was fixing the microphone when Nudge tapped my shoulder. We haven't talked much.

"I'm sorry, Max, I didn't want it to end that way between you and-"

"Don't say his name, Nudge...It's fine, not your fault," and I hugged her. She smiled and hugged.

"He didn't say anything after Nudge talked to him, he just left," I heard Sam tell Ari.

"Guys! Let's forget about that! We're not letting some stupid guys ruin our show. So let's forget everything," they all nodded.

"Group hug!" shouted Gasman. Everyone squished me in a bear hug.

"Guys...can't...breathe!" I wheezed out after a while. We all laughed after they pulled away.

Two hours later...

I wasn't shocked at the quantity of how many people came. I saw many people from school, even Jason, who was in the third row. Thank god he wasn't here.

"Guys it's time!" I shouted over the cheering crowd. Everyone got to their places and Nudge kissed Iggy on the cheek before walking off stage.

"Welcome everyone to another one of your favorite bands' concerts. My name is Iggy, the best guitarist in the world, and tonight we're going to be playing some new songs, and some old songs!" said Iggy in his microphone. Everyone cheered.

"Well someone's cocky huh guys?" said Gasser. Everyone laughed and whooped.

"Alright, then let's get this show started right guys?" I asked the band. They nodded.

"So this song is called 'Everybody's Fool'"

Perfect by nature.
Icons of self-indulgence.
Just what we all need,
More lies about a world that...

...never was and never will be.
Have you no shame? Don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled.

Look, here she comes now.
Bow down and stare in wonder.
Oh, how we love you.
No flaws when you're pretending.

But now I know she...

...never was and never will be.
You don't know how you've betrayed me.
And somehow you've got everybody fooled.

Without the mask, where will you hide?
Can't find yourself lost in your lie.

I know the truth now,
I know who you are,
And I don't love you anymore.

Then I saw him. Fang. He was moving through the cheering and jumping fans.

It never was and never will be.
You don't know how you've betrayed me.
And somehow you've got everybody fooled.

Somehow he managed to almost get to the front. His eyes met mine for a second and regret showed in them.

never was and never will be.
You're not real and you can't save me.
Somehow now you're everybody's fool.

I looked down once again and saw Fang with a small smile. I averted my eyes from him and smiled at the crowd.

For the rest of the show I ignored him. At about 9:00 pm, everyone started to leave and after everyone left, we started picking up.

"Another awesome performance, guys," said Nudge, and Iggy walked to her and wrapped an arm around her.

"Oh so you guys are together now?" I smirked.

"Uh huh," said Iggy and kissed her. Nudge giggled after wards.

"Ewww," we all groaned. I felt a hand on my shoulder. Ari glared at the person behind me and continued to put away my microphone. I turned around and saw Fang.

Suddenly he pulled me towards him and hugged me tightly. His face was buried in the crook of my neck.

"I'm sorry," he murmured. I pushed him off.

"Fang I don't want to talk right now," I tried to walk past him, but he grabbed my wrist, and pulled me away from the others.

"Hey Ari help me will ya?!" I shouted struggling against Fang's grip. Iggy said something to him, and Ari shook his head at me. Those traitors!

"You are so dead-" One of Fang's hands covered my mouth and he dragged me to a nearby bench. He forced me to sit down. My arms were folded across my chest and I glared at him.

"Just listen to me okay?" he pleaded me. I thought for a minute and sighed in defeat.

"Go ahead."

"I'm really sorry Max, I messed up. When I saw you running away, crying, because of me, it broke my heart. I was stupid to believe Dylan," he gripped my hands in his own.

"That's what hurt the most. You thinking I'd actually use you," I whispered.

"You have no idea how much I care about you Max. I have no idea why I believed him. I don't want to lose you Max," he stared deeply into my eyes. I couldn't stay mad at him. I jumped on him and hugged him.

"I forgive you," I said and gripped the collar of his shirt. I pulled him towards me and kissed him.

Fang wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer, as I wrapped my arms around his neck. He slanted his head to the side to get closer.

"Hey freaks!" a familiar voice shouted. We pulled away and saw Dylan stomping towards us.

"Oh no," I grumbled.

Fang pulled me behind him as Dylan pushed him. Fang stumbled back a bit.

"Ever since you came to this town, you've caused nothing but trouble!" shouted Dylan.

"No it's you who caused the problems," I said stepping in front of Fang.

"Max-" he started.

"No it's okay Fang, I think it's time I taught Dylan another lesson." I punched his jaw, making him stumble and fall on his ass. He spit out blood and I kicked his private twice before, I walked over to Fang. He smiled at me and slung his arm around my shoulders.

We walked back towards the stage where everyone was waiting for us. Fang kissed my head and I wrapped an arm around his waist. The guys made kissing noises as we walked towards them and I laughed.
