Chapter two

The blossom of a friendship

Fang POV

I didn't see that Max girl again until on my way out of school Friday afternoon. I decided to walk up to her and turn my charm on for her.

"Haven't I seen you someplace before?" I asked with a smile.

"Yeah. That's why I don't go there anymore." Max started to walk faster to get ahead of me. I matched her speed.

"So, Max, where have you been my whole life?" I smirked knowing I looked incredibly sexy like that.

"Hiding from you." Max huffed.

"So what's your phone number?" I tried a different pick up line.

"it's in the phone book." She took a sharp left and I almost walked past her.

"I don't know your last name." I said almost ashamed with myself for not knowing it.

"That's in the phone book too." Max sounded annoyed.

"I just want to get to know you." I lied, "So what's your sign?"

"Do not enter." Max half laughed.

"Do you have a remark for everything?" I asked amused. I also noticed that I was walking with Max to her house, witch by the look of it is clear across town from mine.

"Yup." max replied smiling. I took that as a challenge.

"We'll just see. What if I say your body's a temple?" I dared her.

"Sorry no services today." She replied quickly.

"What do you do for a living?" What a cheesy line.

"Female impersonator." So she doesn't care what people think about her. I like that.

"My place or your?" Apparently yours, I thought in my mind.

"Both. I go to mine and you go to yours." Max acted as if she was bored.

"If I could rearrange the alphabet I would put U and I together." Ha! Let her find a comeback for that one.

"Really? I like it the way it is, N and O, but F and U would be nice too." She said sweetly getting into the game.

"Want to go back to my place?" ah, the classics.

"I thought only one person could live under a rock." Max said seriously.

"There's were you are wrong Max. you obviously never seen Patrick on Sponge bob. He can fit at least four people under his rock." I let out an honest laugh.

"You admit that you watch Sponge Bob but you don't deny living under a rock. Interesting." Max laughed stepping up to her door. I was about to say something when Max cut me off. "By Fang. We both have to get ready for tonight." With that she walked inside leaving me standing in her driveway. I think I kind of like this girl.

Now I'm at the club getting ready to perform another song. Lissa isn't here. She had something better to do. What, I couldn't imagine. I might just have to find someone else to fulfill my Friday night routine with. That is after Max sings her song. Maybe I could talk Max into it.

I was back stage making sure everything was set up when I saw Max over in the corner talking to some guy. Well it was more like yelling at some guy. The guy clearly didn't get the message that she didn't want him there. He seemed pathetic if you ask my. I bet he was one of those guys that would follow a girl around like a lost puppy dog looking for someone to be loyal to. Like I said, pathetic. Being the nice guy I am I walked over to Max to see if I could help her out.

"Sam get it throw your head! I! Don't! Like! You!" Max yelled at him.

"You're just saying that. You don't mean it." Sam said putting a hand on her arm. Max yanked her arm away.

"Ok, you know what? We can do this one of two ways. You can go back to the bar and do your job and forget about me or I can kick your ass and leave you begging for your life out on some abandoned street." Max warned him.

"Or you can admit you love me too." Sam tried to make a move on Max. This is when I made a move.

"I believe she told you to leave her alone." I growled stepping up so I was standing right behind her. My breath was probably tickling her neck by the way she shivered.

"Ok fine." Sam gave up and walked away.

"Umm… thanks." Max thanked me.

"You owe me." I told her as I walked off to do my song. Oh did I have the perfect way to make her pay off her debt.

"Everyone the one and only Fang Kingston!" and the applause erupted.

I haven't been home for a while,
I'm sure everything's the same:
Mom and Dad both in denial,
an only child to take the blame.
Sorry Mom but I don't miss you,
Father's no name you deserve.
I'm just a kid with no ambitions,
wouldn't come home for the world.

{You'll} never know what I've become,
the king of all that's said and done.
The forgotten son?
This city's buried in defeat,
I walk along these no name streets,
Wave goodbye to all,
as I fall...

At the dead end I begin
to burn the bridge of innocence.
Satisfaction guaranteed,
a pillow weight catastrophe.
On a mission, nowhere bound,
inhibitions underground,
A shallow grave I
have dug all by myself.

And now I've been gone for so long
I can't remember who was wrong.
All innocence is long gone.
I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief where I belong.

A walking disaster,
the son of all bastards.
You regret you made me,
it's too late to save me.
(You regret you made me,
it's too late to save me.)

(And he said)
Far as I can tell,
it's just voices in my head.
Am I talking to myself?
'Cause I don't know what I just said.

(And she said)
Far is where I fell,
maybe I'm better off dead.
Am I at the end of nowhere?
Is this as good as it gets?

And now I've been gone for so long
I can't remember who was wrong.
All innocence is long gone.
I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief where I belong.

A walking disaster,
the son of all bastards.
You regret you made me,
it's too late to save me.
(To save me, to save me, to save me...)

And now I've been gone for so long
I can't remember who was wrong.
All innocence is long gone.
I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief where I belong.

A walking disaster,
the son of all bastards.
You regret you made me,
it's too late to save me.

I will be home in a while,
you don't have to say a word.
I can't wait to see you smile,
wouldn't miss it for the world.

I will be home in a while,
you don't have to say a word.
I can't wait to see you smile,
wouldn't miss it for the world.

After I was done I went and sat down in a disserted chair. Max walked out on stage with a mike in her hand.

"I am dedicating the song I'm about to sing to some one you all know." Max took a breath. I smirked. She is probably dedicating it to me since I saved her life. "Sam." She smiled. WTF! She's dedicating it to that loser! Well that stings a little.

You walk and talk
Like you're some new sensation
You move in circles
You don't need an invitation
You spend your money
You can't get no satisfaction
You play it right so you can get the right reaction

It won't be long my darling
Pick up the phone
Nobody's on it
Where are your friends now baby
How are the ones supposed to be there for

You (you)
When you're falling down
The world starts spinning out
You (you)
When you're falling down
Now it's not all about
You (you)
When you're falling down
You know I'll be around
When you're falling down, falling down

(whisper): You're falling down, down, down, you're falling down.

What's out of place when you look into the mirror?
The truth is blurry but the lies are getting clearer
Your eyes are fixed, your smile is so elastic
You gave me roses but they're all just made of plastic

It won't be long my darling
Pick up the phone
Nobody's on it
Where are your friends now baby
How are the ones supposed to be there for

You (you)
When you're falling down
The world starts spinning out
You (you)
When you're falling down
Now it's not all about
You (you)
When you're falling down
You know I'll be around
When you're falling down, falling down

Smile for the camera, everybody's looking at ya
Smile for the camera, cause they're all about to trash ya
Smile for the camera, camera, camera, smile for the camera
Who's gonna catch ya?

You (you)

You (you)
When you're falling down
The world starts spinning out
You (you)
When you're falling down
Now it's not all about
You (you)
When you're falling down
You know I'll be around
When you're falling down, falling down

Smile for the camera,
Everybody's looking at ya.
Smile for the camera
'Cause they're all about to trash ya.

Ok, so now I'm glad that she didn't dedicate it to me."that was for you Sammy boy. I hope you were listening." Max smirked at the crowd. This was my kind of girl, though girl is my kind of girl.

Max took a bow then went off stage. I went back to go find her.

"So Max I have a proposition for you. How about you come back to my place and we see what happens." I asked her with a smirk.

"How about no." She snapped.

"But you owe me remember." I gave her a pointed look.

"And I could repay you by shoving my foot up your ass." She threatened. I nodded.

"You now I know you want me because I could see you checking me out and you know you want me. Don't try to deny it baby I'm the only one for you." I said trying one last time to not go home empty handed.

"So now you get your pickup lines from Eminem." She laughed and walked away.
