My Rockstar Life Chapter 2 Better Than Revenge, a maximum ride fanfic

Yay! I got my ten reviews!

Okay sorry about the last chapter, I forgot to edit it but then I remembered and then I fixed it, so all is good now. Okay and I wanted to share my perspective one some of the things I wrote because I feel like it, I made Max a tad bit girly because I wanted to show that she does have a girly side and she's not all bad-ass. Though, she is mostly bad-ass, but that's Max for you. I think that's pretty much it…. Yup, that's it.

Me: Taco!

Iggy: -bangs head against wall-

Max: Why are you banging your head against the wall?

Iggy: She's been saying nothing but taco all day! It's driving me up a wall!

Me: Taco!

Iggy: See?

Max: -shakes head- Well, that's normal (note sarcasm…) Ranirose272 doesn't own anything except the lip gloss which she bought then lost then found again.

Me: Taco!

Max: And a taco.

Max POV

"Okay, so we need four new songs for our show tonight." Lesley said, plopping down on the couch.

"We're playing at Crazy Coffee right?" Jordan said, while rummaging through our fridge, without permission of course.

"Yup" I replied and Jordan came back and tossed each of us a Coke. I caught it with ease and popped it open. Though Lesley didn't have the same luck, it hit her square in the nose.

"Ow, geez Jordan! Watch it!" She said rubbing her nose, we just laughed. I took a sip of myCoke and began to think. If Lissa wanted me to be jealous, then I would play the jealous part, but in the end I would win… I think… Because winning would mean getting Fang to be my boyfriend and I don't want that, not one bit. The guy's a jerk that seriously needs to get his head out of his pants.

No, I needed to make sure that she pays for what she did.

"Yo Max so any type of song you want to write?" Ella asked and I smirked, maybe I could get the band to help.

"Yup, jealousy." I said, finishing off my Coke. The band looked at me like I grew a second head. I'm pretty sure I didn't.

"Why are you guys looking at like I grew a second head?" I asked, checking in the mirror to make sure I didn't. Nope, only one head.

"Max, you're never jealous of anyone!" Lesley said.

"Or are you really jealous of you-know-who?" Ella asked, smugly. I sighed; did she seriously think I was jealous of Lissa?

"No Ella I'm not jealous of Lissa, but she has something do with it." I said and then I continued to explain everything. They all listened to everything carefully, maybe throwing a sarcastic comment once in a while. When I was done they just looked at me.

"Okay so let's get crackin'" Jordan said and we set off to work.

…

Four hours later we came up with two songs, but sadly none of them were for the whole 'Lissa' situation, but they were pretty cool. Its funny what can inspire us, Kelsey was talking about how her cousin got hitched in Vegas and now they are stuck in marriage for another year until they can get a divorce. But it was really funny because they would fight and then make-up every day. Can you believe that inspired us to write two songs? Me neither.

"Okay let's practice the songs one more time then work on the last two." Jordan said and we agreed.

"One… two…three" Jordan said from his drums while slapping his drumstick together and Kelsey and I began strumming our electrics and Ella joined in after a bar.

"You're too loud, I'm so hyper
On paper we're a disaster
And I'm driving you crazy
It's my little game

I push you, and you push back
Two opposites so alike that
Everyday's a roller coaster
I'm a bump you'll never get over

This love (love) hate (hate) relationship
You say you (you) can't (can't) handle it
But there's no way to stop this now
So shut up and kiss me
Kick (kick), scream (scream) call it quits
But your just (just) so (so) full of it
cause it's too late, to close your mouth
So shut up and kiss me

So shut up! So shut up!

I call you and you pick up
I tell you how much I'm in love
I'm laughin and you get mad
It's my little game

Go ahead now, admit it
You like your world with me in it
Like a record, it's broken
Yeah, I'm a bump you'll never get over

You miss my lips, my kiss, my laugh
The riffs on my guitar
The way we fight, we make up fast

Oh yeaaaah

So shut up!

Love hate, love hate, love hate

Cause this love (love) hate (hate) relationship
You say you (you) can't (can't) handle it
But there's no way to stop this now
So shut up and kiss me
Kick (kick), scream (scream) call it quits
But your just (just) so (so) freakin' full of it
cause it's too late, to close your mouth
So shut up and kiss me

So shut up!
Shut up and kiss me!" I sang and we finished playing.

[Shut Up and Kiss Me: Orianthi]

We cheered and did a little dance. "Okay next one!" Kelsey called and we smiled and started to play.

"You gotta help me out
It's all a blur last night
We need a taxi
'Cause you're hung over and I'm broke

I lost my fake ID
But you lost the motel key
Spare me your freaking dirty looks
Now don't blame me

You wanna cash out
And get the hell outta town
Don't be a baby
Remember what you told me

Shut up and put your money where your mouth is
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes now
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas

Why are these lights so bright?
Did we get hitched last night?
Dressed up like Elvis
Why am I wearing your class ring?

Don't call your mother
'Cause now we're partners in crime
Don't be a baby
Remember what you told me

Shut up and put your money where your mouth is

That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes now
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas

You got me into this
Information overload, situation lost control
Send out an S.O.S.

Ha, and get some cash out
We're gonna tear up the town
No, don't be a baby
Remember what you told me

Remember what you told me
Remember what you told me
Told me, told me, oh yeah

Shut up and put your money where your mouth is
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes now
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas

That's what you get, baby
Shake the glitter
Shake, shake, shake the glitter
Gimme some cash out, baby
Gimme some cash out, baby"

[Waking Up in Vegas: Katy Perry]

"Okay those were awesome now we need two more songs and we have…" I trailed off and looked at the clock. "Two hours so let's hurry up!" I said clapping my hands.

"I have an idea for a song, but it's not really our style. It's more of a country type of song." Ella spoke up. She was kind of nervous and fiddled with her fingers; she really didn't contribute much to song-writing because she wasn't really good at it.

"Well, at this point we are desperate so let's hear it." Jordan said and Ella told us her song. We smiled, sure it wasn't our style but it was good. We wrote it down and then it hit me.

"Guys I have an idea!" I said and quickly wrote down the song. I finished it and showed it to them.

"It's good but isn't that implying that's he's your boyfriend?" Kelsey said, I looked it over and realized she was right. Damn….

"Argh, why can't I write a good song?" I said exasperated, putting my head in my hands.

"Hey, I have an idea, but it's not about jealousy." Kelsey said and we nodded. She played it out and we smiled like the jokers we are.

"Perfect." I said and we wrote it down. Sure, it wasn't about what we wanted but it was sure as hell good.

…

"Max, come on you have to let me do your make-up!" Ella said, pounding on my bathroom door, in which I was currently hiding in. Well, actually I was quickly getting ready for our show tonight so Ella couldn't do it for me.

I wore a one strap teal top, grey skinny jeans, a blue and black belt, a dragon necklace, wing earrings, three finger gold diamond (which were fake) ring, spiked black bracelet, some chap stick, thick black eyeliner with a little blue eye liner on top. I was planning on wearing my converse boots and not heels, because really those things are death traps and the only reason I wore them yesterday was because we we're performing at a club.

"Done." I said to my reflection and I headed out. Ell saw me all ready and she pouted.

"Why didn't you let me do?" She asked. She was already ready and she wore a black flowy tube top, orange skinny jean, a necklace that said 'Believe', hanging earrings, and multiple bracelets that were studded, spiked or plain. She had heavy mascara and eye pencil, orange nail polish, and some pink lip gloss. She also had her orange death traps in her hand.

"Because if I let you do it, then you would prep me up to look like a Barbie doll." I said rolling my eyes and I headed out to the car. Ella grumbled and followed.

"Bye mom! We're off to rock another amazing show!" I called and I heard my mom chuckle.

"Bye Max, bye Ella! Have fun, don't drink-"My mom started to say but I cut her off. I had gotten this monologue a million times already.

"I know, I know, have fun, don't drink, no guys no matter how cute they might be, stay in school and say no." I said, laughing, the last two parts I had added on and I had to admit they were funny, well, I think so.

Ella just shook her head and my mom just chuckled in that obvious way that's like, 'What am I going to do with you?'

I headed out to the garage and gasped. My motorcycle! It was back from the shop! I yelped and ran to my baby.

"My baby, you're okay!" I said, hugging my motorcycle. I should clarify my motorcycle is my baby, I adore it very much so, me hugging my motorcycle is pretty normal, but Ella still shook her head and slapped her forehead anyway. I got on and was about to leave when Ella stepped in front of me.

"Forgetting someone?" She asked crossing her arms. Oops.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about you. Hop on!" I said, patting the spot behind me. She glared at me, she hated riding my motorcycle.

"Max, no. You know how much I hate riding that." She said, tapping her foot impatiently.

"Well, sorry it's either this, walking, or going to Jenette's house and asking Iggy to give you a ride and god knows what they are doing." I said, smirking. Jenette was Iggy's girlfriend and they were very very …. Graphic. Yeah, let's go with that.

She sighed, "Fine." And with that she hopped on behind me and put on her helmet. I whooped and started my baby. Oh it felt so good to hear him roar again. Yes, him, my baby's is a guy because I hate it how sexist it is that cars and any kind of vehicle is referred to as a female. I mean we, females, are far more superior to a piece of metal. Males, on the other hand, let's just say, I'm surprised they evolved this far. But then again, not all males are complete monkeys.

I know for a fact that my Dad is not a complete a complete monkey, sure he can be idiotic at times, but most of the time, he's pretty cool. And my dad's co-worker isn't that bad either….

I pulled out of the driveway and sped off to the coffee shop. Ella clung tightly to my waist and I smiled. The wind blew through my hair and it felt amazing. Damn speeding laws are the only thing stopping me from going so fast that it feels like my face is peeling off. I don't know about you but I rather not wake up and see a $145 ticket on my bedside table. Nope, my dad would kill me.

Plus, if I went that fast, Ella would probably have a panic attack and I did not want to have her die on my watch. I'm pretty sure both my parents would kill me for that. I pulled up to the coffee shop and turned off the motorcycle. Ella got off shakily and handed me her helmet, which I put on the back.

"Thank god that's over. That was terrible! Would it kill you to go any slower?" Ella asked, fixing her hair.

"Yes it would because if I went any slower that by the time I got here I would be dead." I said sarcastically and she glared at me. I got off and took my helmet off and shook my hair, it gets messed up fast. I smirked at Ella's expression and ran m hand through my hair.

"Having trouble there, little sister dear?" I asked, walking towards her. She just glared some more at me and I threw my hands up in surrender. "Fine, just trying to help. I'll be inside when you're done prepping yourself. Try not to get kidnapped." I said over my shoulder as I went inside the building.

"Hey Max!" I heard a voice call. I groaned and turned around where I saw Fang walking towards me while holding an adorable little girl's hand. And I'm taking Angel cute here. She was around Angel's height, which was about up to my waist; she had long wavy brown hair that was shoulder-length, really bright green eyes and the most adorable dimples. She looked nothing like Fang, how could something so adorable be related to Fang?

"What Fang? And who is this?" I said, bending down to her level.

"Mac, meet my little sister, Abby. And we are here to see The Rulers of The Sky perform. I don't think you've seen their hot lead singer anywhere, because I sure as heck don't see her anywhere." He said smirking. I ignored him and kept my attention to Abby.

"Hi Abby, I'm Max." I said, holding my hand out. She took it shyly and shook it.

"You're Max? Fang is right, you are very pretty. Are you Max from The Rulers of The Sky? I like them; they are okay, but not as good as Hannah Montana." Abby said. I smiled; of course she wouldn't like our music that much. But I was pissed at Fang for bringing her here; some of music wasn't good for little kids' ears. I knew he could be irresponsible at times considering he's asked me for my homework to copy a million times before but this is utterly stupid!

"Yeah I'm Max. And thanks, I didn't know Fang thought that." I said smirking and I looked up at Fang; he was looking at something else, his head turned. "Hey do you want to meet Ella?" I asked Abby. She nodded. I waved Ella over.

"Hey Ella this Fang's little sister Abby." I said, introducing them. I whispered in her ear, "Can you watch her for a minute I need to yell at Fang." She smirked and nodded.

"Hey Abby, can you stay with Ella for a minute? I need to talk to your brother." I asked and she nodded and started to talk to Ella, such a sweet kid. I turned my attention to Fang, who looked confused. I glared at him and grabbed his hand and pulled him away from Ella and Abby.

"Someone wants to give Fang another kiss?" Fang taunted, I just glared at him.

"How could you bring Abby to one of our concerts? She's a little kid and most of our songs aren't appropriate for little kids!" I yelled at him. He winced and rubbed his ear.

"God Max, I brought her here because my parents both had to work and I couldn't get our babysitter so I had no choice." He said and I heard him grumble, 'Plus, she's heard worse.'

"Excuse me?" I said, putting my hands on my hip.

"I said nothing." Fang said, rubbing the back of his neck. He was so lying.

"No you said she heard worse, Fang…." I said in a warning tone. He was hiding something. I know I barely knew this guy and as much as I hate to admit it, I really cared for him. I don't know, apparently at some point in time of our bickering that only started today, I started to care for the guy. I seriously think I'm losing my mind, but something always drew me towards him which is why I always so rude to him. I was never that rude and sarcastic to strangers. Ok maybe a little bit….

"Okay I don't know why I'm telling you this, but our parent's fight and when they are pissed they really don't care about if a six year old hears the word 'fuck' or 'bitch'. They just shout." Fang said uncomfortably. I softened my stare.

"Fang…" I said and I hugged him. He stiffened up but relaxed a while later, but didn't hug back. "Even if you don't know me that well, I'm here.' I said and with that I walked off but not without saying, "And remember, you owe me some bacon!" I heard him chuckle and I smile.

"Hey Abby, do you like my sister?" I asked Abby. When I came back, they were laughing at something that Ella said.

She nodded her head ferociously, "Yeah, she's really funny! And she even told me that you used to have a crush on my big brother! Now should I tell him that?" She asked deviously. Yup, she is definitely Fang's sister.

"No we shouldn't, and it's nice to know someone likes my sister, because frankly, right now I do not love her so much." I said, glaring at Ella, who just giggled. Okay, so yeah I, Maximum Ride, used to have a crush on Fang, but then I heard him speak. Let's just say those feelings went falling of the Empire State Building.

"Okay I won't tell, but I want five dollars." Abby said, holding her hand out expectantly. I looked around, Fang wasn't here yet, I took out my wallet and pulled out a five and put it in Abby's waiting hand.

"Here you go kid. Remind me not to underestimate you." I said, ruffling her hair. She just laughed and nodded.

"Hey girls, what did I miss?" Fang said coming up to us and putting an arm around my shoulder, which I oh so nicely pushed off.

"Knock it off Peterson." I growled. He just chuckled. That touchy moment that just happened a moment before? That just flew out the window.

"Come on Ella, Lesley is going to kill us." I said, dragging Ella to the building while shouting a bye to Abby and the Jerk.

…

"Hey guys!" I said as we entered the 'Employee Only' area of the coffee shop.

"There you guys are! I was wondering if you guys like died or something!" Kelsey said, coming over to give us a hug. I laughed and hugged her back.

"Wow, I know I'm amazing and all but seriously, I just saw you like, two hours ago." I said, pulling back. "And I must say, wow girl you clean up nice." I said taking in what she was wearing. She had on a form-fitting red tee shirt with three quarter sleeves, a black leather vest on top, black skinny jeans, black strappy heels and her mother's tooth necklace. She had on multiple leather bracelets and a simple ring. She put on a white fedora on top of her long brown hair. She had on a tad bit of mascara and lip gloss. I had to say she looked hot.

"Thanks Max, you don't look so bad yourself." She said, laughing. "You too, Ella. Oh my god I love your shoes!" She said gasping.

"Hey what about me?" Jordan asked laughing, holding his arms out. I laughed and hugged him, "See? I knew you always had feelings for me, Maxie." He said laughing. I pulled away and hit his shoulder.

"Shut up, loser." I said and he pretended to be hurt. He wore a black polo shirt, a white tie with black stripes, black jeans and surprise black converse, pretty similar to what Fang was wearing minus the tie. He also had on a fedora similar to Kelsey's on his head.

"Hey was it fedora day or something?" I asked, referring to their matching hats. We all laughed and then the store manager said we were on in five.

"Okay enough joking, quick synopsis." I said getting down to business. "So we're going to be singing…"

…

"Hey everybody! Thanks for coming tonight! Tonight we're going to start off with a new song, it's not really our style but I sure love it! Okay here we go: Here's Better Than Revenge!" I screamed into the mic and the crowd roared. I smiled and we began to play.

""Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did"

Time for revenge

The story starts when it was hot and it was summer and...
I had it all, I had him right where I wanted him
She came along, got him alone and let's hear the applause
She took him faster than you could say "sabotage"

I never saw it coming, wouldn't have suspected it
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was stealing from

She's not a saint
And she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
But she's better known
For the things that she does
On the mattress, whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys
On the playground won't
Make you many friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge

She looks at life like it's a party and she's on the list
She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it
I think her ever-present frown is a little troubling
And she thinks I'm psycho 'cause I like to rhyme her name with things

But sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know
Or pushing people down to get to where you wanna go
They wouldn't teach you that in prep school so it's up to me
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity

I'm just another thing for you
To roll your eyes at, honey
You might have him but haven't you heard
I'm just another thing for you
To roll your eyes at, honey
You might have him but I always get the last word

She's not a saint
And she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
She's better known
For the things that she does
On the mattress, whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys
On the playground won't
Make you many friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge

Do you still feel like you know what you're doing?
'cause I don't think you do.
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing?
I don't think you do
I don't think you do
Let's hear the applause
Come on show me how much better you are (so much better, yeah)
So you deserve some applause 'cause you're so much better
She took him faster than you could say "sabotage" " I finished singing and the crowd roared once more.

[Better Than Revenge: Taylor Swift]

"Okay you like that one?" I said into the mic, while running a hand through my hair. They crowd cheered even louder in response. "Okay, here's another new one! It's called According To You!" I nodded toward Jordan and we started up again.

"According to you I'm stupid, I'm useless
I can't do anything right
According to you I'm difficult, hard to please
Forever changing my mind

I'm a mess in a dress, can't show up on time
Even if it would save my life
According to you, according to you

But according to him I'm beautiful, incredible
He can't get me out of his head
According to him I'm funny, irresistible
Everything he ever wanted

Everything is opposite, I don't feel like stopping it
So baby tell me what I got to lose
He's into me for everything I'm not
According to you

According to you I'm boring, I'm moody
And you can't take me any place
According to you I suck at telling jokes
'Cause I always give it away

I'm the girl with the worst attention span
You're the boy who puts up with that
According to you, according to you

But according to him I'm beautiful, incredible
He can't get me out of his head
According to him I'm funny, irresistible
Everything he ever wanted

Everything is opposite, I don't feel like stopping it
So baby tell me what I got to lose
He's into me for everything I'm not
According to you

I need to feel appreciated
Like I'm not hated, oh no
Why can't you see me through his eyes?
It's too bad, you're making me dizzy

But according to me you're stupid, you're useless
You can't do anything right

But according to him I'm beautiful, incredible
He can't get me out of his head
According to him I'm funny, irresistible
Everything he ever wanted

Everything is opposite, I don't feel like stopping it
Baby tell me what I got to lose
He's into me for everything I'm not
According to you, you
According to you, you

According to you I'm stupid, I'm useless
I can't do anything right" And we trailed off.

[According To You: Orianthi]

After that we sang Waking Up in Vegas, Shut Up and Kiss Me and Redesign Me, the song from yesterday.

"Okay, thanks for coming! Good night!" I shouted and we left the stage. Oh my god, I was so tired. Performing five songs, can really take a toll on you, and plus this wasn't your ordinary coffee shop. Nope, this shop was built in an old book store so it was HUGE so it took even more energy to project my voice that much. I'm just happy we could go home now. I could use my twelve hour sleep.

"Okay guys let's hit the road!" I said and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Man, I'm beat. Maxie will you carry me?" Jordan joked. I rolled my eyes and Ella laughed.

"Not happening you idiot." I said and we began to gather our stuff.

"Hey Max! Abby wanted to come and say bye!" Fang said coming into the room. How the hell did he get in? This is an Employee Only room?

"How the hell did you get in?" I said, taking a gulp of my water.

Fang smirked, "Oh I said I was your boyfriend." My eyes widened and I spit out my water. Why did this boy have to take a sudden interest in annoying the shit out of me and embarrassing me? Why me?

"My what!" I screeched. Fang just chuckled, then I turned to Kelsey with a 'Help' look on my face, but then I noticed she was drenched in water. Oh my god…

I clamped my hand over my mouth, "Oh my god Kelsey, I'm so sorry!" I said, running over to get some paper towels.

She wiped the water off of her eyes, "It's cool, I would do that if I found out a dickhead told a random guy he was my boyfriend, too." She said, taking some paper towels and wiping herself off.

"Hey this dickhead takes offense!" Fang said, acting mock hurt.

"Good!" Kelsey and I shouted at him. Everyone except us just chuckled, including Abby.

"I don't know what that means, but its funny seeing my big brother getting insulted." Abby said, giggling. I like this kid…

"Oh and I came to say bye Max! Can you come over sometime?" Abby asked with really big eyes. Damn…

I sighed, "We'll see if I can tolerate your brother." I said and she giggled.

"Okay!" She said and she tugged Fang out of the room.

"Bye girlfriend!" Fang taunted as he left.

"Bye dickhead!" I shouted back at him. I swear Iggy, Gazzy and Jordan were enough; I didn't need Fang, too.

So how was it? It was nice and long. Were there too many songs? This was just a trial to see how many songs I should put in. Also, the link to their outfits are on my profile. So I say fifteen reviews this time? RnR?
