Fang POV
After breakfast I followed Iggy to his house with Max in the passenger seat. I looked over at her and to see her playing with a ring on her finger
"You have a secret life or something, like you're married?" I asked her smirking.
"No, it was my mom's."
"Oh."
There were a few minutes of silence as I pulled into Iggy's driveway and parked Max spoke.
"Fang?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks for being able to make me laugh and feel like there's a reason to be happy" Max said, looking me straight in the eye.
"No problem." I smiled at her and we both got out of the car.
"Fang, who's this?" Gazzy asked me
Max POV
"Fang, who is this?" a boy around my height but a little shorter asked. He had short blonde hair and round blue eyes.
"Gazzy this is Max, Max this is our drummer Gazzy." Fang said "You're the loner girl that Fang was trying to talk to yesterday!" a girl said bouncing over to us.
"Nudge, really?" Fang looked at her. She had mocha colored skin and had bleached a streak in her bangs white.
"Sorry" She smiled sheepishly then perked up, "Hi I'm Nudge. My real name is Monique but you can call me Nudge.
most people do. That's how Fang introduces me in concerts. Not that I don't mind that you're here but why are you here? Are you and Fang dating? Or did Iggy bring you here? You look familiar how do I know you? Wait your Ella's older sister! OMG Hi!" Fang glared at her and she went quiet "Hi Nudge" I said.
"You know her?" Fang asked.
"Yeah she's my sister's best friend." I answered.
"Ah" He nodded.
"Guys are we going to practice or not?!" Iggy called from the garage opening the main part.
"Come on Max." I followed Fang into the garage, "Okay Max, do you want to listen to us first, or do you want to show everyone what you've got?"
"I might as well get this over with" I sighed and Fang smirked at me.
"You can use my guitar." he pointed at a black electric guitar in the front corner of the garage.
"Thanks." I pulled the strap over my head and sighed, what song? "This is a song I wrote, it's called Remember When" I closed my eyes and began playing.
Remember When by Avril Lavigne (I don't own this song) Remember when I cried to you a thousand times I told you everything You know my feelings It never crossed my mind That there would be a time For us to say goodbye What a big surprise
But I'm not lost
I'm not gone
I haven't forgot
These feelings I can't shake no more
These feelings are running out the door
I can feel it falling down
And I'm not coming back around
These feelings I can't take no more
This emptiness in the bottom drawer
It's getting harder to pretend
And I'm not coming back around again
Remember when...
I remember when it was together till the end Now I'm alone again Where do I begin?
I cried a little bit
You died a little bit
Please say there's no regrets
And say you won't forget
But I'm not lost
I'm not gone
I haven't forgot
These feelings I can't shake no more
These feelings are running out the door
I can feel it falling down
And I'm not coming back around
These feelings I can't take no more
This emptiness in the bottom drawer
It's getting harder to pretend
And I'm not coming back around again
Remember when...
That was then
Now it's the end
I'm not coming back
I can't pretend
Remember When
These feelings I can't shake no more
These feelings are running out the door
I can feel it falling down
And I'm not coming back around
These feelings I can't take no more
This emptiness in the bottom drawer
It's getting harder to pretend
And I'm not coming back around again..
I finished the song and look at them.
"Oh. My. GOD! Please join the band please!" Nudge begged, I smiled at her and looked at the rest of them.
"Max you're amazing!" Iggy said.
"Yeah Max you are." Gazzy added.
"I told you you were amazing." Fang smirked at me.
"Well show me what you guys got." I smiled at Fang and handed him his guitar.
"K, we will. We'll play Whispers in The Dark" The band started playing and I smiled.
Whispers in The Dark by Skillet
Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is just waiting
To turn your tears to roses
Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is just waiting
To turn your tears to roses
I will be the one that's gonna hold you
I will be the one that you run to
My love is a burning, consuming fire
No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes
I'll light the night with stars
Hear my whispers in the dark
No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes
You know I'm never far
Hear my whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark
You feel so lonely and ragged
You lay here broken and naked
My love is just waiting
To clothe you in crimson roses
I will be the one that's gonna find you
I will be the one that's gonna guide you My love is a burning, consuming fire
No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes
I'll light the night with stars
Hear my whispers in the dark
No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes
You know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark
No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes
I'll light the night with stars
Hear my whispers in the dark
No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes
You know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark
"So you in?" Fang asked.
"Give me a reason I should." I responded.
"Stubborn, I like it." I rolled my eyes at Iggy.
"Because I want you too."
"Well when you put it that way… No."
"Come on Max." Fang practically wined at me "Play another song." I smirked.
"Fine, Payphone guys."
Payphone by Maroon 5 feat. Wiz Khalifa
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two?
Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember,
The people we used to be...
It's even harder to picture,
That you're not here next to me.
You say it's too late to make it,
But is it too late to try?
And in our time that you wasted
All of our bridges burned down
I've wasted my nights,
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed,
Still stuck in that time,
When we called it love,
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two?
If "Happy Ever After" did exist,
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairy tales are full of shit
One more fucking love song, I'll be sick.
Oh, you turned your back on tomorrow
'Cause you forgot yesterday.
I gave you my love to borrow,
But you just gave it away.
You can't expect me to be fine,
I don't expect you to care
I know I've said it before,
But all of my bridges burned down
I've wasted my nights,
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed,
Still stuck in that time,
When we called it love,
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two?
If "Happy Ever After" did exist,
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairy tales are full of shit
One more fucking love song, I'll be sick.
Now I'm at a payphone
Iggy walked up to the microphone in front of him, and Fang backed up from his.
Man, fuck that shit
I'll be out spending all this money
While you're sitting round wondering
Why it wasn't you who came up from nothing, Made it from the bottom Now when you see me I'm stunning, And all of my cars start with a push of a button Telling me the chances I blew up Or whatever you call it, Switch the number to my phone So you never could call it, Don't need my name on my shirt, You can tell it I'm ballin.
Swish, what a shame could have got picked Had a really good game but you missed your last shot So you talk about who you see at the top Or what you could have saw but sad to say it's over for.
Phantom pulled up valet open doors
Wiz like go away, got what you was looking for Now it's me who they want, so you can go and take that little piece of shit with you.
Fang stepped towards his microphone and started singing again.
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong Where are the plans we made for two?
If "Happy Ever After" did exist,
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairy tales are full of shit
One more fucking love song, I'll be sick.
Now I'm at a payphone...
"How 'bout now?" Fang asked and my phone started going off.
"Hold on." I walked away from the garage a little bit. "Hello?"
"Max where are you?" Tara asked.
"Iggy's house."
"Why?"
"Because, Fang wants me to join his band"
"So? if Fang wants you to join the band why are you at Iggy's house?"
"Because they practice at Iggy's house."
"Oh, are you going to join the band?"
"I don't know. Maybe"
"You should."
"Well I was going to give them the answer when you called."
"Oh ok sorry, I'm going to come pick you up because… yeah I'm just going to come pick you up. Be over there in a minute. Bye."
"Bye." I hung up and walked towards the garage.
"So what's your answer?" Fang asked.
"Sure and I have to go, my sister is coming to pick me up" I answered.
"Ok well, I'll tell you more about it tomorrow, okay?"
"Sure."
"And you are sitting with us at lunch now." Nudge said "Okay." I looked over at the driveway and saw my sister's jeep pull in "Bye."
Waving to them, I jogged over to the car and got in.
