Hey guys, sorry for the late update, my dad decided to be a big butthead, and blocked my computer and fanfiction was included in those blocked websites...stupid I know.
And I know I say sorry a lot but my dad's a big butthead. -.- With these late updates you guys probably think I'm writing a novel...Sorry.
Ch 9: Wow
Fang's P.O.V. (AN: teehee :D)
"Ok Fang you ready?" Iggy asked me with a slight smile.
"When am I not?" I retorted playfully.
"Thats my boy." he said then patted my back playfully.
I looked around at everybody. Nudge her drum sticks at hand, Iggy going to go grab his electric guitar, Gazzy his rhythm guitar already at hand. And in the corner my bass.
"You guys for a great show?" I said with a smirk. No time for smiling, this is serious. We get paid $400 dollars...each. I don't know if my math is wrong, but $400 dollars sounds like heaven to me.
They all laughed.
"Of course we're ready, that's kinda why we all have our stuff at hand...duh" Nudge said.
"Is Max coming?" Angel said. Angel's our stage manager, she makes sure we have everything, and books our gigs. She's pretty much our lifesaver to the bad.
"Yea, texted her and everything."
"Wait you told her your in the band?!"
"No she told me she was coming to see this band -our band- play. Oh and she's brining Ella."
"OMG! YAY! I JUST HEART ELLA, SHES SUPER DUPER NICE!"
"Yea Nudge we get it."
"Ok guys you're on." Angel said with a smile. "Good luck."
I grabbed my bass and took a deep breath. It's now or never.
Of course I have to walk out first, because according to Nudge, I'm the "best looking" out of all of us and that they love to see my face first.
I take one last breath and begin walking. As soon as I'm in view of the crowd the spot light hits me. I blink a few times to adjust to it.
Cheers fill the building. I walk up to the mike and try to search for Max, hopefully she made it.
When searching for her fails, I smile and begin talking.
"Hey guys, long time no see."
Cheers erupt and I hear faint 'yeas'.
"Well I hope this show makes up for it." I said with a smile.
Fans -mostly girls- scream 'Oh Fang I love you!' 'Will you marry me' 'Will you go to junior prom with me'...I'm not even a junior.
"Okay, well guys get out here!"
Nudge, Iggy, and Gazzy all run on stage.
"This Songs called 'If Only They Knew'."
We all broke into music at the same time.
(If Only They Knew- A Rocket to the Moon)
Talk to me, I'm torn
I could get lost in a voice like yours
My voice cracked a little, but not too much to make it sound bad.
Tell me if I'm wrong or right
Tell me I could stay tonight
We all stopped for a second, and Iggy played a few notes. Then we all continued.
It's in the way that you fool everyone
When you're fallin' in love again
So tell me how this ends
'Cause no one knows you like I do
They don't see you like I do, baby
They'll try to, oh if only they knew
They'll never come close to you
We all kept playing and I was getting for my favorite part.
Girl you know you got it, oh you know you do it better
They all joined in after that and so did the crowd.
(Girl you know you got it, oh you know you do it better)
We stopped playing while they sang the part.
Girl you know I want, oh I want it more than ever
(Girl you know I want it, oh I know it's now or never)
I took a deep breath to prepare for the second verse.
'Cause no one loves you more than I do
They don't see you like I do, baby
They'll try to, oh if only they knew
They'll never come close to you
And you brighten up the world with your eyes
And you're so damn lonely when you're on my mind
'Cause you're the only one
'Cause no one loves you like I do
Everyone started to clap.
They don't see you like I do, baby
They'll try to, but if only they knew
They'll never come close to you
They'll never come close to you
They'll try to, but if only they knew
They'll never come close to you
We came to a strong close. The crowd erupted in cheers. And I of course had a smirk on my face.
And I finally spotted Max and Ella.
Max was looking rather surprised. And she was wearing clothes that I thought were hot on her.
Whoa, hold up, back the freight train up, I did not just say Max looks hot in those clothes...or did I.
I bet Iggy thought Ella was 'hot' in her clothes to.
I smiled at her, and she clapped. Nudge, Iggy, and Gazzy looked down at her smiling rather widely, happy that she was fine that we indeed have a band.
She was jumping and calling our names out...at least she was having a good time.
-Time Skip-
After we played a couple more songs and everyone left- well except for Max and Ella-, we packed up our instruments and Angels mom gave us a ride home.
Angel's mom brought her mini bus. It had 4 rows of seats. Angel was in the front, the first row had Iggy and Gazzy talking about their farts and which ones have been the best. Nudge and Ella were in the row behind them sleeping heavily. And Max and I were in the row behind them talking lightly. And lastly our instruments were in the last row.
While we were in the car, -this surprised me to- Max wouldn't stop talking like:
"How long have you guys had this bad?"
"Nudge since when have you been able to play drums?"
"Ella wake up when we're almost home." Which Ella nodded but fell asleep soon five minutes later.
"Ugh, I got to pee."
I looked at Angels mom, she was laughing at Max's statements.
-Time Skip...again.-
When everyone was dropped off, we were heading to Max's house to drop her off. Ella woke up.
I was about to speak when I notice Max dead asleep.
Ella notices and speaks.
" You know if she doesn't wake up, you have to carry her right." Ella said.
"Wait, what?" I asked confused.
"Well I cant carry her, she's to heavy."
"But why cant we just wake her up?"
"Do you have a death wish, sir? Or are you not scared of what Max can do when you wake her up?" She said matter of factly.
This kinda scared me. Kinda.
I wonder though…..
I pushed her playfully and she woke up….then she punched little Jr. and can I say OW!
"What the hell Max, if you were awake why didn't you just open your eyes or some shit like a normal person." I said holding little Jr. I swear I wish why wasn't I born a dude.
"Because I'm tired like a mother, and lazy."
"Well too bad we'll be at your house in twenty seconds and there's no way in hell you'll fall asleep."
"Oh she will." Ella said.
"You tell him Ella." Max said groggily.
"Max can fall asleep five seconds before we get to our house. Like now, she's dead sleep and we're at our house right now."
I look over at Max and look outside the windows. Dammit, we are at her house.
"Carry her kid, now."
"No."
"Please?" she asked with a smile.
"No."
"Dear God, Fang just carry her!" Angel screamed and her mom looked at her rather disapprovingly.
"Fine."
"But tell Iggy he owes me a week worth his lunch."
"Fine"
Ella got out and walked straight to the front door.
Max lifted her arms and said-"Lets go Hercules"-with her eyes still closed as if to say she was still trying to sleep.
Really. She's still awake.
"And don't tell Ella that I'm still awake. All that crap about me saying that I can fall asleep five seconds before is a load of bull. K? I just act like I am so I can get carried to my room"
I groaned and readied myself to pick up a two ton truck and lifted a small dog.
"And all the bull about me being too heavy is DEFINITELY a lie." She said
Angel and her mom weren't even paying attention.
I got out Max in my arms and told Ms. Rodriguez- Angels mom- that my house was three houses down and I can walk.
After a final good bye to Angel and her mom, they drove off into the 2 am night or er….morning I guess.
When I was walking up the driveway Ella popped her head out the front door.
"If you manage to not drop her, she owes you a back massage." She said smiling.
"Dammit, Ella." She said with a whisper.
When I walked through the front door I took a look around. I seemed cozy.
The walls were painted a greenish beige color…..Like a booger. But it was a nice cozy color.
There were dark brown couches, with red pillows. There was a huge tv. Like BIG. Bigger than Iggy, Gazzy, and me combined.
There were only three pictures hung up, they looked pretty old. One of Max, and Ella. And one with two people in it. A woman and a man. I'm guessing the woman was , but I've only seen a glimpse of her.
And the man, I guessing is their Dad, but I've never seen him before.
I guess Max saw me staring because she poked my cheek and started the explanation I needed.
"His name was Jeb." She said with a hint of mourn in her dark chocolate eyes.
Ignore what I said about the eyes.
"He was a scientist, he went away a lot."
She sighed to hole back tears.
"He died a few years back. I was twelve." She blinked and a single tear fell.
She was about to tell more, but I didn't want her to tell me anything she didn't want to.
"Shhh, you don't have to tell me now, tell me another day, but don't worry, I'll be ready to listen, and if you need to cry, Iggy's shoulder is ready, because I'll be busy getting all the junk food in the world for you."
She hugged me and wiped the tears that fled from her slightly swollen face.
I turned around and climbed the stairs to a hallway of four closed doors. Two on each side.
"Last door to the right."
I walked down and see to what appears to be Ella's room, second door to the left.
She was about to go to sleep when she noticed me and smiled.
"Oh you still haven't dropped her. Wow she owes you a massage for sure."
I smirked. Damn straight.
"I'll be right back, let me just drop this two ton truck in her room" I joked making conversation.
"Told ya she was heavy" Actually Ella, she's so not.
I open the door to her room and turn on the lights. Wow, its actually girly, for a girl like Max.
The walls painted red, shelves filled with trophies of an eight year old Max winning a soccer game.
Dressers with teddy bears on top of them.
Two guitars standing in the corner near her closet.
Didn't know she played an instrument like the guitar. In music she would just play the flute.
Looks like there's a lot of things I don't know about her.
"Don't make fun, just set me to my bed."
I walk over to her bed and dropped her on the bed. To which she yelled.
Ha ha, no I actually set her down easy. Pfft, I'm so getting my massage, I've been in a lot of stress lately, you know looking for that girl for the band.
I put the covers over her and looked at her delicate peaceful figure laying on her side when she turned to be more comfortable.
I haven't noticed that she looked so much like a little girl when she's asleep.
I haven't even noticed what I was doing until I ever so gently leaned in and kissed her forehead.
"Goodnight Max." I whispered so lowly only she could hear. But I doubt that, because she never answered me.
I walk out with Ella waiting out side her door with a key.
"Here turn off all the lights and lock up for us will ya? Thanks, return the key whenever."
"Ok, well night Ella."
"Yea, yea." She said while walking into her room.
-Time Skip-
When I finally got home and into my bed, I thought over a few things.
Like:
Max.
I have to find that girl, or I swear I'll make Iggy's head will explode.
Do I like mystery girl, or whatever. I wont know for sure until I meet her.
Max, and her big brown eyes.
Aw, I didn't start my science project that was do on monday…..Oh well.
Max.
Why do my thoughts go back to her. A girl I merely known for two to three months.
"Do I have feelings for her?" I thought out loud.
Of course not Fang, you're just woozy for kissing her forehead. The annoying voice in my head said.
But why did I kiss her?! I yelled into my thoughts.
It was a spur in the moment, you were weak because you were in the same room as a very beautiful young lady.
Knock-Knock.
"Fang, honey you're aunt just called and she's going on another trip." She said with a half smile while sitting on my desk chair and set a cup of milk on my desk.
Oh no, don't tell me this ones a long one again.
"How long is it this time?" I said praying it was a short one, but by the looks of her face, I guess not.
"Three years."
I shot up from my bed. "What!"
"And your cousin Ari's staying with us." No way.
"What! Mom, no! Please, you know he hates me!" I stared angrily.
"Well, three years is enough time to get along." She said getting ready to walk out my room.
"Dammit Mom!"
"Language! Now since that, he was going to sleep in the extra room we are using for storage but now he's sleeping in here!" She said sternly.
Great. Just great.
"Now go to bed. He comes on Tuesday."
"Oh lord, way to ruin my life mom. But I still love you. Night, close the door on your way out and turn off the lights please."
"Night sweetie." She said while kissing my forehead.
Lets hope when he shows up, I don't have to beat him up.
