Hey guys. This chapter has a lot of Max and Fang I think. And I apologize for all the Paramore.

Ch 15: Concert Part I

Max's P.O.V.

"Ready to leave guys?!" Angel yelled from bottom of the staircase. The rest of us were in Fangs room trying to pass time before we leave.

"Yup." Iggy, Nudge, Ella, and Gaz replied.

Fang just nodded. And I had a cookie in my mouth that mom baked for good luck on my first concert.

As we climbed down the stairs I noticed pictures hanging. One of Fang caught my attention.

It was of him probably at 7 playing the piano, an old lady next to him smiling.

I cant quite put my finger on it but something about it made everything in me relax, like I wasn't nervous anymore.

I stayed there for God knows how long until Fang had to come and get me.

"What are you doing up here, lets go we have to leave now or we'll be late." Fang said coming up the stairs until he stopped at a step lower than mine.

He noticed the picture and smiled slightly.

"Is that you're grandma?" I asked

"Yea, I used to go to her house every Saturday to get lessons from her."

"Isn't that the piano at the-" I look behind him to make sure no ones there- "house?"

He nods. "She used to have another one but she bought that one for our family before she passed. We kept it at her house, before you know-" He choked so slightly you would've thought he never did, but I heard it.

I nod in understanding. I know what its like to lose someone you love. But I'm not ready to tell him that. But I will be, I'll be able to tell him and the gang.

He slaps a hand on my shoulder -which hurt like hell!- and smiles widely, as if excited.

"Lets go Maxie! We've got a drive ahead-" He was cut off by a car horn.

We raced down stairs and of course I won. We ran down the driveway and I kissed my mom goodbye and fang hugged his.

We hopped in the car and was greeted by Angels mom.

She started the engine and looked at us through the rear-view mirror.

"Ready kids?"

We all smiled (well maybe Fang smirked) and looked at eachother.

"Ready!"

-Time Skip-

I was woken up by Nudge shaking me awake. I gotta hand to her, playing the drums gave her some serious muscle.

"What Nudge?!"

"Finally! I swear you sleep to much we've been at the hotel for an hour already and have taken all your things to your room. Now get up and lets go. Ella has your outfit ready. You need to hurry, we leave in half an hour."

I groaned and got out.

Once in my room Ella grabbed me and dragged to king sized bed in the middle of the room.

"Change and I'll meet you down stairs in the lobby with everyone."

I picked up what looked like a shirt. It was black and looked pretty short. I quickly scan the whole room for my suitcase. Gone. She must have hid it. But where?

"The closet!" I ran to it to find a lock. You've got to be kidding me.

"Dammit Ella!" I yelled into the air.

I groaned and got dressed.

When I was done I walked over to the mirror and nodded.

"Not bad Ella, not bad." I mumbled to myself.

After struggling on how to put on the 'shirt' everything was pretty easy. And thank god she left my black leather jacket. I would've died in this fall weather.

I put my favorite black beanie. Oh lord I feel like Fang.

I slipped my lucky Doc Martens and everything else she left. (Links in Bio.)

I rushed to the elevator and tapped my foot impatiently.

-Time Skip-

We were on our way to the park now and literally my heart it pumping so hard I'm pretty sure anyone a continent away could hear it.

The car came to a stop and everyone smiled.

"We're here!" Nudge and Angel yelled.

Everyone piled out of the car but me and Angel's mom.

"No we are not here. Please let us not be here." I mumbled.

Angel's mom looked at me through rear-view mirror.

"Oh honey don't be nervous. It really isn't that bad."

"I know, but I can't help it."

"Just think of something relaxing and you'll be fine."

-Time Skip-

This place is filled with screaming fans. I recognize a few faces from our school like Sam and people who I've never bothered to learn their names.

We huddled into a circle.

"Okay guys, first song it 'That's What You Get', Max, just like we rehearsed okay?" Fang said with such a determined voice.

I nodded. "Okay."

"Iggy and Gaz, you know what to do right?"

" Smile, look pretty, and play with all the passion we've got." They said in unison grinning.

"Nudge-"

"Hit every note so loud even deaf people can hear it." She said smiling.

He grinned.

"Okay guys you're on in 20 seconds." Angel yelled.

"Max we'll announce you onto the stage."

I faintly hear Dylan on stage.

"Guys! 5-4-3-"

"Finite State of Mind!"

They ran onto the stage and cheers erupt.

Fang's P.O.V.

We ran out on stage and we're overwhelmed by the cheers.

I grab the microphone. "Hey everybody!"

Cheers erupt

"You guys know 'That's What You Get' right?"

"Yes!" the crowd roared.

"Well instead of me singing it, I want you to meet a good friend of mine. Max get out here!"

-Time Skip-

I ran out as soon as I hear my name, the crowd cheers.

I close my eyes and think of the picture I saw earlier. All my muscles relaxed instantly.

"She's singing for us today so treat her nice. Lets go Nudge!"

She started with a beat which set everyone off.

(That's What You Get- Paramore)

No sir

I pointed the microphone out to the crowd like Fang told me to.

well, I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore

The crown sang perfectly.

It's your turn, so take a seat
We're settling the final score
And why do we like to hurt so much?

I somehow found my rhythm and danced a little.

I can't decide, you have made it harder
Just to go on
And why, all the Possibilities

Well, I was wrong

That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

I could hear Fang's voice slightly.

That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

I drowned out all my sense
With the sound of its beating
And that's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

I danced in time with the music and smiled at the crowd.

I wonder, how am I supposed to feel
When you're not here?
'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built
When you were here

I still try holding onto silly things
I never learn
Oh why, all the possibilities
I'm sure you've heard

'Jump! Jump! Jump! I yelled while I jumped. And the crowd happily obliged.

That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

I drowned out all my sense
With the sound of its beating
And that's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

I quickly sat down at the edge of the stage.

Pain, make your way to me, to me
And I'll always be just so inviting
If I ever start to think straight
This heart, will start a riot in me
Let's start, start, hey!

I quickly got up and sang with my eyes closed enjoying the feel of performing.

Why do we lie to hurt so much?
Oh, why do we lie to hurt so much?

I pointed the mike to the crowd and they sang so loud it was deafening. Even the gang sang loudly.

That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

Now I can't trust myself
With anything like this
And that's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

As I finished the audience erupted in cheers. I could hear faint yells of my name.

Fang came up next to me and grabbed the mike.

"So, do you like her?!" he yelled.

"YES!"

"Good cause she's got 1 more song until it's my turn and its new." He said grinning while all the girls screamed.

(Fences-Paramore)

I snapped my fingers in time with the music and the crowd joyfully followed.I took a deep breath and began.

I'm sitting in a room made up of only bigwhite walls
And in the hall, there are people looking through
The window in the door
They know exactly what we're here for

Don't look up, just let them think
There's no place else you'd rather be

You're always on display
For everyone to watch and learn from
Don't you know by now? You can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying
Justliving proofthat the camera's lying
And oh, oh, open wide, 'cause this is your night
So smile, 'cause you'll go out in style

I gave a big smile while I started snapping my fingers again.

You'll go out in style

If you let me, I could
I'd show you how to build your fences
Set restrictions, separate from the world
The constant battle that you hate to fight
Just blame thelimelight

Don't look up, just let them think
There's no place else you'd rather be
And now you can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera's lying
And oh, oh, open wide, 'cause this is your night
So smile

Yeah, yeah, you're asking for it
With every breath that you breathe in
Just breathe it in

Yeah, yeah, well, you're just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let's see you walk it
I said, let's see you walk it

Yeah, yeah, well, you're just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let's see you walk it
I said, let's see you walk it

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera's lying
And oh, oh, open wide, yeah, oh, oh, open wide
Yeah, oh, oh, open wide, 'cause you'll go out in style
You'll go out in style

The crowd erupted in cheers again. I don't know about you, but I could get used to this feeling.

Fang appeared next to me and started to speak.

"Give her another round of applause!" The crowd followed his command.

Gazzy and Iggy high-fived happily.

"Fang?" Iggy asked into his mike.

"What?"

"What do you say we throw Maxie out into the crowd?" He said smirking.

Suddenly Gazzy, Fang, and Iggy started circling me.

"You wouldnt dare."

Gazzy turned to the crowd. "What do you think guys?"

Of course, the audience agreed.

I looked to Nudge who was smiling evily. Then to Angel, who to was smiling. And I didn't bother looking at Ella, like c'mon, majority rule.

"THROW HER! THROW HER! THROW HER!"

" Oh hell-" I was cut off from the sensation of arms lifting me, I wiggled with all my might.

They started swinging. Swinging. Fudge balls this is real.

"1! 2!"

"Um guy-"

"And 3!"

And in that moment, I swear I pissed my pants.
