This Maximum Ride

Chapter 6 – Max POV

It's been a pretty long day. Especially with Nudge and Gazzy randomly arguing about cheese for the past few hours. It was around 7:30PM when I finished writing a song (does it really surprise you that I wrote a song?). Anyway I started singing it. It didn't relate to tour right now all that much but the words just flowed out.

Late at night
Hear the song spinnin' in my head
Heaven knows I can't sleep at all
Thinking bout all my stuff
Missin' my own bed and all my friends
But it's too late to call

Hangin' out all day at the Holiday Inn
Waiting's such a drag until the band kicks in

I don't know where the next road goes
But I feel the wheels rolling down below me
Take my sweet time
I'm gettin' it back again
What matters most will carry me
Through the night to where I wanna be, baby
Take my sweet time
But I'll be home again
In my own sweet time

Pour it out
every night and it feels so good
How it works is a mystery
But I believe in my heart I'm doing what I should
with all these lost souls following
Waiting all day until this begins
I love how it feels when the band kicks in

I don't know where the next road goes
But I feel the wheels rolling down below me
Take my sweet time
I'm gettin' it back again
What matters most will carry me
Through the night to where I wanna be, baby
Take my sweet time
But I'll be home again
In my own sweet time, yeah

Maybe when this is over
I'll understand
What I got right here in my hands
Yeah

Baby, Oh
Oh Oh yeah yeah yeah

I don't know where the next road goes
But I feel the wheels roll down below me
Take my sweet time
I'm gettin' it back again
What matters most will carry me
Through the night to where I wanna be, baby
Take my sweet time
I'll be home again
In my own sweet time, yeah yeah

In my own sweet time
Yeah, yeah
In my own sweet time
Yeah

"Max, that's amazing." Nudge said, "Not that all your other songs aren't amazing too, because they are, but that was amazing. When are you gonna record it? Are you even gonna record it at all?"

"Wow, Nudge. You have a way with words." Gazzy said. She just smiled at him.

"Thanks Nudge. I'll probably record it when we get back." I answered

--8:00--

"We might as well look at the hotel info." I said pulling out the packet D had given us.

"Are we staying in Chicago? Jude said Edward Cullen was born there? Who even is that? She talks about him all the time." Nudge asked.

"Yeah, Nudge. We're staying at the Congress Plaza Hotel in Chicago, Illinois in the Presidential Suite that has a lakefront view. And Edward Cullen is a character in a book called Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. And if she starts obsessing over someone named Jack Force it's a character from Blue Bloods." I said.

"Oh." She said and returned to the game she was playing with Angel.

--8:30--

Yep, it was around 8:30 by the time we stopped. And we were pretty hungry. We hurried up to out hotel suite and planned on ordering room service when we got up there. Before ordering we took a look around the suite. There were 2 separate bedrooms with a king sized bed in each. Angel and Nudge had claimed one of the bedrooms while Gazzy and Iggy claimed the other. Surprisingly they've been a lot closer lately. Well anyways, that left Fang and me with the good ol' pullout couch.

I'll spare you most of the details about our night in the Congress Plaza – we ate, we showered, we watched Across The Universe on Pay Per View, and we fell asleep.

Pretty fun.


That was actually better than I thought it would be and longer than I had written originally. I'll try and post chapter 7 tonight but one thing, does anyone know any songs that will go with being on tour? And the Iggy poll is still up so vote if you haven't, results are still tied. Oh and another thing that doesn't have to do with the fanfic...If you haven't read Twilight or Blue Bloods you really have to. Twilight is by Stephenie Meyer and Blue Bloods is by Melissa de la Cruz. Review.
