New Beginning (Adopted by PTX)

Chapter 6

"Ok so...Twitter, Instagram, tumblr, snapchat, and whatever else you want. Here's my number. I'll give you the others."

"Thanks Mitch." I said watching the wheel spin to load all the apps. "So I'm staying with you and Scott when we get back to L.A."

He nodded his head. "Yeah. And when we get settled we can do whatever you would want to your room." I smiled and I saw Scott walking over to us.

"You guys want some snow cones?" He asked. "Sure." I said.

"Brain Freeze!" Mitch yelled. Scott and I laughed at his face he made. I looked back at Scott to see him staring at Mitch.

I smiled. Scott turned to me and started blushing. Mitch was on his phone and I mouthed to Scott 'You like him.' He shook his head no. I nodded back. We kept arguing in silence before Mitch turned his head and looked at me confused.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh, um, there's a fly and I'm trying to see it."

"Right."

"Scott what's your number so I can have it." He typed in his contact and number. I immediately text him.

Me: you like Mitch.
Scott: no I don't.
Me: then why were you staring at him for the longest time?
Scott: I don't know.
Me: exactly you can't come up with an excuse because you know you like him.
Scott: No.

I put my phone away knowing that Scott would keep denying. I sighed and ate the last of my snow cone.

-----Days Later----

We were heading to the concert, the last one of the tour. We had a couple of hours before the show was going to start so my parents went over what they were performing. I noticed that they all started whispering. "Kirstie?" She got up and walked towards me . "Yes?"

"Where's they bathroom?"

"Down the hall. Then the first door at the corner."

"Thanks."

(Scott's POV)
"Oh my gosh! We should have Maxx sing and play her guitar!"

"Do you not think we're pushing her to far? She did just kinda jump on the train of excitement. I mean with tour, YouTube, the fans, and now possibly a sold out concert? I'd shit myself." Mitch said with a smile.

I blushed at his wide smile.

Yes Maxx was right. I did like Mitch. But I can't let us get in the way of everything that we're doing. I don't even think he likes me anyways. But his smile always got the best of me. So did everything else about him.

"Scott?" Kirstie caught my attention.

"I-oh um. Sorry. I was thinking."

"While you were thinking, we decided that Maxx could just play her guitar if she wanted to while we sing."

I nodded and Maxx walked back in. I went to the small fridge and pulled out a red bull. I sipped on the energy drink after we changed subjects.

"Last performance. Last performance." Kevin rapped. I started beat boxing as Avi gave us a questioning look. "This is our last performance and we gonna kill it, gonna kill it." The rest was just gibberish which made us all laugh.

Maxx got to sit down backstage with Esther and watch from the side curtain.

Kevin walked on first, "Hello Michigan!" He said into the mic. Then Mitch "Hey!" Then I, "Michigaaaaan!" Kirstie blew a kiss as she walked on and waved. Avi came on last. "Hey." His voice echoed.

It was almost our last song. Kevin had walked off stage to get his "cello" but we knew the plan. He brought back out a guitar case with Maxx's guitar. He nodded his head giving me the signal to speak. "Hey Michigan! We are gonna give you a surprise."

The fans screams got even louder. I moved my hand, gesturing for them to quiet down. "Okay. So here's the deal. She has to decide wether or not she wants to perform with us. So Maxx..." Her eyes widen and she looked at us unsure. Kevin lifted up her guitar and she stood up. "Would you like to play a little guitar?"

I saw Esther talking to her before she walked out on stage. She waved to the crowd and quickly turned back towards us. "I-I don't know if I can do this." She said over the screams.

I bent down to her eye level. "Maxx you can. Remember at the park? You barely knew us and performed. Just close your eyes. Go to that special place." A small smile appeared and she nodded.

"Okay. We are young. Maxx start us off." One of the crew brought on another micro phone and placed it on the stand close to her guitar.

I looked over at Maxx, she took a deep breathe and shook her hands a bit. She looked over at me and nodded. "Ready? One, two, three."

I could hear her movements on the guitar and the gasp of the crowd. We got to the second verse in no time and I heard another voice join us. It was faint but I'm sure the others heard it.

Bum, bum, bum, bummmm

It was the end of the song and we could tell Maxx was still in shock. She put her guitar in her case and walked up to us. We swarmed our kid and gave her a tight squeeze. "You did great." I said into her ear so she could hear over the screams.

"Goodbye and have a good night Michigan!" We waved and blew kisses as we walked off.

We got back to our little room and Maxx couldn't speak. We all have her another hug and she smiled.

----Airport in LA---
We just landed in the airport and Maxx had her suitcase. She was really fidgety the last couple of hours at the airports and plane ride.

We all got off and found that it was packed. "It's 2 and on a Sunday." Avi said. Maxx would continuously scoot closer and closer to me.

"You okay?"

"Uh-I- yeah I'm fine." She was never used to so many people. She said the most at the orphanage was 30-40 kids.
"Grab my hand."

She looked up at me, confused. I lifted my hand up. She hesitated before she took. I smiled. "Adorable." I heard Mitch say from behind us. I look back to see him taking a picture. I rolled my eyes and continued our way to the doors of the airport.

"We should take a picture!" Kirstie said handing Esther her phone. Maxx and Mitch stood beside me. "One, two, three." Esther took a few more pictures before handing Kirstie's phone back.

Everyone hugged Maxx before heading off to their cars. Maxx stood in between Mitch and I. "Ready to go home, Maxx?" I asked her. "Yeah. I'm ready." She said smiling. Mitch was smiling too.
