Okay, I'm very sorry for keeping you guys in so much suspence and making you guys wait for a full two months now. I'm very sorry, and I know I can't make up any excuse because I was just being lazy, and not in the mood to write, and I wish you guys can forgive me. I will try to update three times every month. How does that sound? I hope you guys won't mind, but now, school is taking away a lot of time lately, so I can't seem to find time to write. I'm sorry, but the story will continue!
Another big annoucement: I'm going to start a new story called "What It Takes", and it's a crossover between Maximum Ride and the 39 clues. If you love either one, or both, then please check it out, so I can love you, and it'll be better if you could review for the story as well. I love any reviews, I don't care if you hate the story, but i'll remind you that if you don't like the story after the first ten chapters, don't continue, you won't like it later on. Oh well, hope you enjoy that story as much as you love this one!
Anyways, onwards to the next chapter that I've kept you waiting for. And, HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE, and because it is, I think I'll make this a Thanksgiving tribute!

Chapter Twenty: Never Had a Dream Come True
Max's POV
Wow, I'm actually amazed with the outift Krissy picked out for my. I absolutely love it, even though it's normally isn't my style. I do have to say Krissy does have pretty good taste, cause, I know this will sound weird coming from me, but I feel really beautiful and Krissy didn't even have to plaster makeup on me. Well, maybe I should ask her for her opinions on clothes more often. Anyways, I have to tell the truth, staying up on stage, but not in plain view right now, felt amazing. I always thought Krissy didn't really know anything about fashion, but I guess I stand corrected, in fact, I think Krissy might be good at just anything if she wanted. Okay, well according to Krissy, I was supposed to start the announcements and introduce the other annoucer, Krissy in this case to the stage, and then she'll roll herself in while playing the piano and singing to the song as well. Impressive I have to say, but okay, deep breathes Max, you can do this!
I walked up onto the stage where the microphone was standing. I took a breath, and then the front curtains opened, and I stated:
"Hello everyone! I'm proud to bring you to this wonderfully prepared Thanksgiving evening show before you guys go home and spend some time with your family members. Because this is for Thanksgiving, I let you in on a secret that I shouldn't be telling you, but no matter, I think I'll survive. Anyways, you'll be listening to various music on centered around one theme, and under each one of your seats is a slip of paper, and at the end of the show we would like you to write down what theme it is, and because I think you all will get it right, please write the names of the songs that were why indicated in the annoucements, and so listen up, this song is one of them! Welcome Krissy on the piano playing our introductory song! Give it up for Krissy!"
With that, applause filled the auditorium, and once the sound diminished, Krissy started to play her song... and then all the curtains were open and I stepped backstage to let Krissy take the honors:
Everybody's got something they had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or might have been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go
Tears began rolling down my cheeks when I heard Kirssy's voice start singing this song. It reminded me of Krissy and Kyle's relationship. I can't believe how much emotion Krissy is putting into this song. She's normally a stone when it comes to her feelings, yet in her voice you can feel the pain of her break up with Kyle even though she was the one who broke up with him. I guess it's just like the song, Krissy's kind of regretting what happened between Kyle and her, but she knows it can't go back.
I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you
Krissy's told me about her family and everything, but she's never came close to telling me about her social love life, and I'm surprised she could hide it from everyone around her, even her family, and even Kyle, the person she always told me was her dream come true, and yet her dream come true has left her in the dark.
Somewhere in my memory
I've lost all sense of time
and tomorrow can never be cos yesterday is all that fills my mind
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it should be now or might have been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go
She still remembers the incidents that happened in the past, and so she can't seem to move on a forget. I know Kyle was the one who opened her heart, but now he's the one to have sealed it up again, and no one, not even her closest relative, Tom, can get her to speak to us, and when she does speak, it's always too quiet. Kyle's made her dead because the part that belongs to Kyle is her heart, and she can't get it back.
I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be
You'll always be the dream that fills my head
Yes you will, say you will, you know you will
Oh baby, you'll always be the one I know I'll never forget
There's no use looking back or wondering
Because love is a strange and funny thing
No matter how I try and try I just can't say goodbye
No no no no
I saw Krissy at the people, and because of my view, I could clearly see that Krissy was crying, and it was too painful to watch because I could read her like a book. I scanned the audience to try and find a Kyle. That's when I spotted Iggy, Fang, Jack, Tom, and Kyle all sitting a few rows back, and I could also clearly see their expressions. Fang's was a neutral but sad expression; Iggy's was pure shocked; Jack's seemed like he was in too much pain to bear it; Tom's was about the same, but I think Jack's was worse, but Kyle's was the worst: his expression was a mix of pure shock, sadness, pain, and hurt. Looking at their expressions made my heart squeeze. I thought my life was hard, and yet, I didn't even see how much Krissy was hurting on the inside.
I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say (words to say)
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be
A part of me will always be with you
After the song, Krissy stood up, and went to the microphone while the audience clapped. Once the clapping stopped, Krissy said,
"Thank you everyone for coming here tonight to let me share with you a part of my life. As Max had said, that song's name was anonymous, and I hope you were listening closely to it. Anyways, I would like to introduce the second song of tonight, and don't think of going anywhere because we are going to be performing about 15 songs tonight, and I hope you enjoy. Now, welcome Max, singing Tied Together with a Smile by Taylor Swift!"
On cue, I walked over to get a mic, and the song started to play, and from the back, I began to sing, and to my surprise, I sounded not too bad.
Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty
is the face in the mirror looking back at you
you walk around here thinking your not pretty
but that's not true, cause I know you...
hold on, baby you're losing it
the waters high, your jumping into it
and letting go and no one knows
that you cry, but you don't tell anyone
that you might not be the golden one
and your tied together with a smile
but your coming undone
I guess it's true that love was all you wanted
cause you're giving it away like it's extra change
hoping it will end up in his pocket
but he leaves you out like a penny in the rain
oh, cause it's not his price to pay
it's not his price to pay...
hold on, baby you're losing it
the waters high, your jumping into it
and letting go and no one knows
that you cry, but you don't tell anyone
that you might not be the golden one
and your tied together with a smile
but your coming undone
hold on, baby you're losing it
the waters high, your jumping into it
and letting go and no one KNOWS
that you cry, but you don't tell anyone
that you might not be the golden one
and your tied together with a smile
but your coming undone
you're tied together with a smile
but you're coming undone...oh woah
goodbye, baby
with a smile, baby, baby.
Oh.
Sadly, this is a song I would sing to Max personally, but I guess as according to Max, this shows the theme rather clearly, and I think I've already guessed it... relationships. Not just love relationships but between friends and family. I have a feeling this is a show that acts like a conversation through music. Hmm, nice idea Krissy, I'll admit that!
"Thanks Max! Nice singing. So, before we really get this show on the roll, I think you guys to do some thanking about what you have and that you'll have that thanks throughout your whole life, and so I present to you this music video I found that talks about the people who killed themselves or were killed because of bullying, and I hope you realize that you are lucky to have friends and family that are here to support you."
I watched as a projection screen rolled down the middle of the stage, and then Krissy started the music video that was entitled, Hero by Superchick:
No one sits with him, he doesn't fit in
But we feel like we do when we make fun of him
Cause you want to belong, do you go along?
Cause his pain is the price paid for you to belong
It's not like you hate him or want him to die
But maybe he goes home and thinks suicide
Or he comes back to school with a gun at his side
And a kindness from you might have saved his life
Heroes are made when you make a choice
You could be a hero - heroes do what's right
You could be a hero - you might save a life
You could be a hero- you could join the fight
For what's right, for what's right, for what's right
No one talks to her, she feels so alone
She's in too much pain to survive on her own
The hurt she can't handle overflows to a knife
She writes on her arm and wants to give up her life
Each day she goes on is a day that she's brave
Fighting the lie that giving up is the way
Each moment of courage her on life she saves
When she throws the pills out a hero is made
Heroes are made when you make a choice
You could be a hero - heroes do what's right
You could be a hero - you might save a life
You could be a hero- you could join the fight
For what's right, for what's right, for what's right
Little Mikey D. was the one in class who everyday got brutally harassed
This went on for years until he decided that never again would he shed another tear
So he walked through the door, grabbed a four-four out of his father's dresser drawer
And said I can't take life no more
And like that life can be lost
But this ain't even about that
All of us just sat back and watched it happen
Thinkin' it's not my responsibility to solve a problem that isn't even about me
This is our problem
This is just one of the daily scenarios which we choose to close our eyes
Instead of doing the right thing
If we make a choice and be the voice for those who won't speak up for themselves
How many lives would be saved, changed, and rearranged
Now it's our time to pick a side
So don't keep walkin' by
Not wantin' to intervene
Cause you wanna exist and never be seen
So let's wake up and change the world
Our time is now
No one talks to him about how he lives
He thinks that the choices he makes are just his
Doesn't know he's the leader with the way he behaves
And others will follow the choices he's made
He lives on the edge, he's old enough to decide
His brother who wants to be him is just nine
He can do what he wants because it's his right
The choices he makes change a nine-year-old's life
You could be a hero (Our time is now)
Heroes do what's right
You could be a hero (Our time is now)
You might save a life
You could be a hero, You could join the fight (Our time is now)
For what's right, for what's right
This song wasn't entirely just for us to believe that we a lucky and everyone, its a song that tells us to take action. However, I think this song fits...I wonder if the others do too.
Thank you everyone for not ditching this story, and don't forget to check out my new story What It Takes, and I'm begging you!
Thanks, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Eat lots of turkey!
