Chapter: Sing It

Fang POV (A/N: Most of the story shall be in Fang's POV until Max starts taking and expressing more feelings)

Max and her other family members left to go get sleeping bags and other things. I was happy that Max was excited to have a sleep over. What shocked me the most was that she has never been to a sleep over. I wonder what her past is? Where did her family go to? Who is she?

I quickly walked into my home and began to push furniture around making the living room larger. I had a 30 in flat screen hanging on my wall, below that was a Xbox 360 and a Wii, along with 4 large cabinets filled to the brim with video games and movies. I don't mean to brag about the money I have but (and this is a secret between us) my dad is thinking about buying a gold toilet. I I'm totally against the idea, who needs a golden toilet? I mean all your going to do is do your businesses in there. Every Friday night my parents are out with "friends" having "dinner". Also known as getting wasted at a club. I rarely see my parents, let alone talk to them. I could end up in a hospital for 2 weeks and they most likely wouldn't visit or talk to me about it until they get a hospital bill. But no worries I have Nudge to keep me company *gag*.

The doorbell rang while me and Nudge pushed each other to reach the door. Nudge suddenly pulled me down and dragged me into the sitting room. She then proceeded to run and get the door. I huffed, sisters.

"I can't wait to meet this Max person she sounds really nice!" It was Ella, Nudge's best shopping buddy.

"I know! I'm excited too! She's sleeping over but word of advice she doesn't talk like at all! It's kinda creepy I mean she barely shows any emotion except to Fang which no surprise there! Fang's a pretty likable person how he doesn't talk all the time and barely says a word about anything let along HIS feelings and then ther-" Ella slapped her hand on Nudge's face so hard it made a snapy sound. Nudge was use to it and didn't flinch. The doorbell rang again. I opened the door without hassle seeing as though Nudge's friend was already here. Asher, and his best friend Richard. Richard was our drum playing and Asher was a guitar player along with myself. Ella and Nudge sing back up and any weird instrument we happen to need. Iggy did a mean bass and Gazzy was our number 1 fan. Woo hoo. I was lead singer and piano expert.

"Yo Fang! What's up?" Asher called happily. He gave me a one handed hug which of course I didn't return.

"So when's Max getting here? I want her to meet Richard." He pointed toward the already comfortable teen lounging lazily with his feet up.

"I'm sure she will be here soon along with the rest of her family." I said calmly and ushered them into the overly sized living room. After 20 minutes Max and her family finally showed up. Iggy looked plain freaked out and was dragging Max in the background. In front of me were Gazzy and Angel. Angel spoke first.

"WE HAD A DISSAGREEMENT ON MAX'S PILLS AND- AND- AND SHE SAID NO!" Angel screamed happily, Gazzy jumped up and down with her. I looked toward a very angry Max and a excited Iggy.

"Just say what you told us to Fang!" Iggy screamed loudly. By now the rest of the group was huddling around the door to see what was up.

"NO! Okay?" Max screamed No but whispered okay. Her voice was pained and cracked on her words.

"She spoke! She spoke! She spoke!" the family was happily jumping up and down chating over and over. Max looked upset and looked like her wall was crumbling. It was upsetting to see her sad. It made me sad. She dove past me and into my bedroom which was almost a second bedroom to her. I left and followed her.

XxXxX

Max was curled on my bed in a almost asleep state.

"Max? Are you okay?" I whispered as I closed my door. She shook her head and patted her neck.

"It hurts?" She nodded.

"That's expected speaking for the first time in over 2 years. I'll see if I have any medicine." I left my room and entered my bathroom. In the medicine cabinet we had everything but a pain reliever. I turn around going to tell Max but she was in front of me. She cocked her head to the side looking curiously at me and the cabinet. I shrugged and opened it. She shuffled through the cabinet and pulled out a bottle. Ha it's pain reliever, shoot. She looked at the instructions and quickly took 3 pills out of the bottle.

"Max, that's gonna make you really sleepy." She nodded and looked at me as if to say 'yeah? What's the problem?' I shrugged and motioned for her to continue. She swallowed the pills dry. When she did her sleeve came up a little and I was what looked like a massive scar. It looked like it started at her wrist and traveled down her entire arm. So this is why she doesn't wear short sleeved. I bet the same things goes with pants and maybe even shoes. Oh Max what happened to you? I was pulled out of my questions when I heard yelling down-stairs.

I ran down and into the living room where Iggy was still excited and wanted Max to keep saying the word 'no'. She looked at me pleadingly.

"She doesn't have to if she doesn't want to Iggy." I told him, almost demanding him to stop. He rose an eyebrow, he did that when he was thinking.

"Yeah, your right. Sorry Max." She nodded and slumped down onto one of the many couches. I sat next to her (on the other side, it's a sofa not a love seat) while the others put in Sing It into the Wii. I looked at the clock it was 4 and almost time for super. I looked over at Max. She was already staring at me and a small blush came over her nose and cheeks.

"Want to help me make dinner?" I pointed to the clock when I said dinner. Max looked like she was debating something.

"But we want to play Halo!" Asher's voice called. He, Richard, Ella and Nudge were all fighting over either playing Halo or Sing it. Sing it won when Iggy and Gazzy said they wanted to play as well. I rolled my eyes, jumped off the couch grabbed Max's wrist lightly so she could escape if she wanted to, and dragged her into the kitchen. The whole time she didn't stop me or pull away from my wrist. She's trusting me more!

Turns out Max can't cook worth crap, the only thing she can cook is chocolate-chip cookies and water. Once we had every snack worth eating we brought it out into the living room to find Gazzy, Richard, Iggy and Angel all dancing on the table (it's a BIG table people) Max glared at Angel and stomped over to her. When Angel noticed Max her face turned to fear as she looked around widely. Max turned to me with the same worried face and looked around as if to say "Where are your parents?"

"My parents are out with their friends having dinner, they won't be back until mid-night and leave in the morning at 4." I quickly answered. Max nodded looking plainly relived.

XxXxX

Once everyone was full and lazily sitting on the couches (Max was sitting almost right next to me. She looked very tired.) Nudge put in Sing It (again after a Halo war) and picked the song "Can't be Tamed" By Miley Cyrus. She sang along with the music, damn gotta love her voice.

For those who don't know me

I can get a bit crazy

Have to get my way yep

24 hours a day

Cause I'm hot like that Nudge smiled on that part.

Every guy, everywhere

Or tell you to go to hell I'm not a brat like that

I'm like a puzzle but all of my pieces are jagged

If you can understand this

We can make some magic

I'm wrong like that

I can't be tamed Nudge held the last note for the longest time, it seemed to only be a buzz in my ears when it ended. We all clapped and hooted, until it was Asher's turn. It was quiet while he chose a song. He chose My first Kiss by 3OH!3. It was a duet, so Ella chipped in. (Bold is Asher Italics are Ella)

My first went a little like this

And twist, and twist.

My first kiss went a little like this

And twist and twist

I said no more teachers and no more books

I gotta kiss under the bleachers

Hoping that nobody looks

Lips like licorice tongue like candy

Excuse me miss but can I get you out your panties?

In the back of the car On the way to the bar

I got you on my lips (I got you on my lips)

At the foot of the stairs

With my fingers in your hair

Baby this is it

She won't ever get enough

Once she gets a little touch

If I had it my way

You know that I make you say

(repeat)

Well my first kiss went a little like this

I said no more sailors and no more soldiers

With your name in a heart

Tattooed up on the shoulders

Your kiss is like whiskey

It gets me drunk

And I wake up in the morning

With the taste of your tongue

In the back of the car on the way to the bar

I got you on my lips (I got you on my lips)

At the foot of the stairs

With my fingers in your hair

That was a total Asher song, I feel bad for Ella, that was NOT her song type, oh well. After 10 more songs, they pretty much pushed me up to sing. They chose "Fallen Angel" by Chris Brown, I hate that guy.

If I could, take a trip, to outer space

She would be the one, I would see

When I get to heavens gate

She would welcome me with her arms, open wide, and her smile

Would shadow me brighter than the sun

She hasn't had a fair chance, so I'll give her one

Let me tell you who she is, yeah

She's a fallen angel, sent from heaven up above

She's a fallen angel, waitin for me to love her, yeah (Know that she's)

She's a fallen angel, take your judgment off her

I know, that she's a fallen angel

You know, maybe I should

Help her mend, her broken wings

So she can fly again

But I don't wanna lose everything that I've gained

It's turnin me a selfish man (oh)

Cause without her my heart just don't go, no more (no more)

I couldn't take the pain of watchin her fly away

So say that you'll stay

She's mine

She's a fallen angel, (ooh)

sent from heaven up above

She's a fallen angel, waitin for me to love her, yeah

(Know that she's) She's a fallen angel,

so take your judgment off herI know, that she's a fallen angel

Don't you

Baby don't you (don't you worry) worry

I don't need ya,

Never loved ya,

You're nobody,

And 'll never make it,

You're a mistake (ooh),

After that we decided it was time to sleep, it was 11 and my parents would be home soon. Max pulled out a blue sleeping bag and curled up on the floor beside the couch I was sleeping on.

"Max, you don't have to sleep on the floor, you can have this couch if you want." She shook her head. Stubborn girl.

"Then I'll sleep on the floor with you." I climbed off of the couch and laid down beside her, her eyes were looking at me curiously. I shrugged, what was kinda awkward was that I was shirtless, but I didn't mind. I closed my eyes as sleep dragged me under.

XxXxX

I awoke to the sound of the grand piano, Max wasn't in her sleeping bag. I quietly got up from my sleeping bag and carefully stepped around people. Sure enough Max was playing the piano. Something I'd never heard. I slowly slid down into a sitting position and listened. She was really good. I got up and walked over to her. She didn't notice me at first as she kept playing, I sat down beside her. She continued to play. I watched as her fingers were a blur and looked like they were barely touching the keys.

"Don't tell." She whispered, she kept playing. So she knew I was here, she didn't mind.

"I won't." She nodded and stopped. I realized she changed into a tank top and shorts, she had many different scars crawling up and down her skin. Some over lapped and created strange marks. She watched me and whispered yet again.

"Don't tell." Her brown eyes were pleading but full of trust. I nodded. I grabbed her hand gently and pulled her back to our sleeping bags. She crawled into hers and motioned for me to get in with her. I raised my eyebrow but did as she wanted. I wrapped my arms around her unsure, she laid her head down on my chest and her breathing became slowly and deeper. I watched her as I got pulled down into the dark water of sleep.
