Three

I watched out the window of the car as Victoria drove down the road in New York city. The buildings went by in a flash, literally a flash because of all the glass on the buildings. We were in the richer part of New York where my step-mom and Lissa lived.

I had one of my guitars in the seat next to me along with a stuffed tiger that my sister gave me a few years ago. I felt like they were the only connections to my now passed family. Images of Ella and I flashed through my mind as we did normal sisterly things like play with our dolls as children. I shook my head quickly to shake the memories so that I did not cry. I looked out the window and just thought letting lyrics come to my mind.

Why am I alone
Why does everything change
When I am forced to stand still.
Where am I to go?
Am I to stay?
Or am I to wither away?

My thought process was interrupted when Lissa screeched looking out her window.

"Oh my god! That's Nick Walker!" she squealed pointing to a boy on the sidewalk that was crowded by a throng of girls. I looked up to find a boy who looked all black. He was wearing black skinny jeans, a plain black V neck with converse to match. He had black hair that looked kinda shaggy and olive skin. I had to admit to myself that he looked kinda cute... wait... just... no. I watched as we drove by and I was surprised when in the middle of giving a signature he looked up. Straight at me.

I saw then that he had obsidian colored eyes that basically matched all he was wearing. He smiled at me and waved, and I looked to the front of the car to see that Lissa was texting one of her friends or something. I looked back and waved to see him still staring at me.

For the first time in almost a month I smiled.


Victoria drove up to an apartment in the middle of the city. It was enormous. Apparently she owned the building too. With all the money that she had taken form my dad in the divorce. When the car came to a full stop Lissa jumped out of the car as a boy and girl came out the door. They were the only two kids that I liked from my step-mom's side of the family.

"MAX!" they said in unison.

"Angel, Gazzy!" I said kneeling down to their level to give them a hug. They were twins of the age of eight. They were also super intelligent in technology for their age. "How are you guys! I haven't seen you in a couple of months have I?"

They nodded in delight, but that went straight to frowns as their mother came around the car. They looked as if they were looking at some crazy devil spawn even though they did not show it on their faces.

"Angelica, Zephyr, go back inside. I don't want you to get a sunburn." she scowled even though they were standing in the shade of the front porch.

"Yes mother." they harmonized running inside where they were usually cooped up by the nanny.

Lissa walked past me and gave me a glare as if to say that I was no better than her. I gave her my death glare and she backed off but not after snapping at me.

"Max bring in my bags."

"Hell no!" I said giving her my best eff you stare.

"Maximum you will bring in Lissa luggage or no dinner for you tonight." Victoria said.

"That's child abuse." I muttered, I agreed though because I am one who loves her food. Really if you don't feed me on a regular basis I turn into I monster.


"This will be your new room, Max." said one of the maids of the house showing me down the hall of the attic. Yeah this attic had a hallway... to me it just looked strange. I entered a small musty room at the very back of the house.

The room itself was an eyesore compared to the room I had in Vermont. It was dusty and you could see the beams for the roof. It was all wood with one window at the end of the room. It looked like a waste land of a room. There was nothing in it except for a bed and wardrobe that looked like it was just set up in the room a couple days ago.

I had to drag my luggage and everything up to the room of course, but the twins helped me with the little things that they could before their counselor came to find them. I put away all of my clothes and hung up a couple of the obsidian black dresses that Lissa didn't get her hands on because they were in a box for special occasions.

Looking at the black clothes I remembered earlier that day seeing the teenage boy that Lissa said was Nick Walker.

Grabbing my laptop out of another box and my iPod with it. I looked up their songs on iTunes and downloaded them with the money that my dad had left on there. Turning on the music Max was surprised, this was defiantly not something that Lissa would listen to.

The lyrics floated through her head making her feel better than she had the past month.

Guess again

Every time I see your face
I can't help the feeling
Every time I see you smile
I know it's not for real

You act like you have the key
To everything that is good
When all you have is a lock
To a heart that is dark
You act like you have it all
When all I can see is a -

You are the one person I can say
That I truly hate the most
I am the only person that knows
Who you truly are
You think that you know me
When I don't even know your name
I am the only person who can tell
You are not the right fit

Guess again
Yes you
Guess again
You don't belong here

Have you even thought about it?

After that the lyrics repeated but with a more intense way. I looked at who wrote the song and it said Jake Walker.

When the nest song played I was surprised to hear that it was slower, and sung by a different person than the first track.

True Story I Swear

You are beautiful
You look precious in your gown
I have not known you like this
Please let me know this side of you

You have captured my heart
You have done all you can

If I told you
It's a true story
Would you believe me?
If I said it was true
Would you love me less
If I said it was right
Would you make my life a mess
I love you and you know I do
So please don't leave me

You are the only one
You look amazing in your jeans
This is the girl I know
You have given me your all

I have captured you heart
Now my deed is done

If I told you
It's a true story
Would you believe me?
If I said it was true
Would you love me less
If I said it was right
Would you make my life a mess
I love you and you know I do
So please don't leave me

I~ Lo~ve You~
You~ are~ my all

If I told you
It's a true story
Would you believe me?
If I said it was true
Would you love me less
If I said it was right
Would you make my life a mess
I love you and you know I do
So I will never leave you

As the song ended I looked at who specifically wrote it, and to my surprise it said Nick Walker.


Hey guys!

Hope you liked this chapter!
I defiantly have to say that writing about
Fang was the funnest part next to writing the lyrics

Yeah i wrote my own lyrics so don't try looking up the song to see what i think Fang's singing voice sounds like...

R&R!

Thanks Again!
