Hey guys. I'm back. I hope you guys don't hate me for not updating :/. To be honest with you guys, I kinda gave up with this story. :(. But, I read through the comments and I'm like aww I can't give up So, yeah. I've been working on trying to become a better writer by writing more and stuff, but I'm still iffy about this story.

Max's POV

I stand at the corner of the street, waiting the bus to show up. I tap my foot to the beat of the music. What I'd do without my music, I'll never know.

Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see you're testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away

I feel my ear buds being pulled out and I sigh What's with people pulling my ear buds out? I look to the side and see Fang standing there looking at me. "Can I help you with something" I ask and he sighed. He brought his hand up and I flinched. I was expecting a slap but he just ran his hand through his hair. "I've been trying to call you for the past 5 minutes." He tells me and I give him a sheepish smile. "Sorry"

"Angel wanted to know if she would be able to come over tonight for the project." I think for a minute before I shake my head. "I can't do it tonight, sorry. I have some other things I need to take care of tonight" I lie. I knew Jeb would be home tonight and that would be a disaster. "Is tomorrow ok?" He nods and that's when the bus pulls up. At the same time Gazzy and Angel run out of their house, zipping up their jackets and swinging their bags over their shoulder. It's funny how they do somethings in sync.

I got on the bus and sat in my normal seat. I stare out the window as put my ear buds back in. I grin. Another great song I think as I tap my toe to the beat. I sigh as I look at the sky I wish I could fly. I internally chuckle at thought. That will never happen. Before I realized it, we were at school and everyone was getting off the bus.

I head inside, shifting my book bag on my shoulder. I head to my locker and get the things out that I need. I stuff my book bag in the locker and close it. I quickly go to class. Head down, hood up, music in. I shuffle into the classroom. Early, as usual. I sit in my normal seat in the back. I grab sketch book and open it up to a clean page. I just do some lines here, some shading there. I start to drift off to space and then I look down. I try to choke back a sob. There, on the page, I had drawn my dead brother.

Flashback

"Daddy! Please stop!" my brother yelled, standing in front of me, so he was in between me and dad. Our mom laid across the room, dead. There was a pool of blood near her head from where our dad had shot her. I was crying as I sat, leaning against the counters. Early I was doing the dishes when I had dropped a plate and it broke. Jeb, was drunk and upset from work so the plate had set him off. He raised his gun and aimed it for me, but mom quickly blocked the shot. Now he was standing in front of us, his gun pointed to my brother and then shot. He quickly slumped down on the floor. Now my brother was dead. I started to cry harder. Jeb just grabbed me by the hair and threw me across the room. I landed on the coffee table and screamed at the pain. "Shut up!" He yelled, punching me in the mouth. He did that several time before throwing himself on the couch and passing out.

Flashback over

I quickly whipped a tear that made it's way down my cheek as kids starting filing. I could already tell this was going to be a looong day.

Around lunch time

The bell rings and I sigh in relief. Thank god I think, picking up my stuff and heading out of the classroom. As I head towards the cafeteria, I run into Ash again. Well, shit He pushes me against the locker. "About that favor.." he trails off. I raise an eyebrow. "Meet me at the park after school. I promise I won't do anything." I sigh. "And why should I trust you?" He grins evilly. "Because if you don't, I'll just kidnap you" I sigh again "Fine"

After that I decide instead of heading to the cafeteria I was going to the library for some peace and quiet...

After school ((Yeah, yeah))

I grab my bag from my locker and head out the school. Deciding I really didn't want any trouble from Ash, I starting walking to the park. Only after I made sure that I had my pocket knife.

Now I wish I had never went..
