Another Freaking Love Story

~Andy~

Ashley and I kept smiling at each other while sitting on the couch of the bus, waiting for Max's cab to arrive. Over the last week I'd been avoiding Ashley because I knew I'd thrown myself at him shamelessly, but knowing I would see my little sister made me temporarily forget my embarrassment. Gravel crunched outside and everyone flew off the bus to greet Max.

~Max~

I sat in the back of the cab with Hex, biting my lip nervously. I'd only ever met Jake, and that had only been once. I was completely exited about meeting the Christian Coma . I loved his drumming, it made my big brother's band sound even more amazing, but I was still worried he wouldn't like me. Plus there was Jinxx, who I could never stack up to when it came to the guitar. I sighed and looked myself up and down in the rear view mirror. I was still in my school's red uniform with a little red and black plaid skirt that was way too short, white knee high socks and black loafers. I looked like a goody girl. My naturally black hair was pulled up in a pony tail with my bangs stubbornly fringed down. I clutched Hex a little tighter as I pulled up to the BVB bus. Andy, Ashley, and Jake ran off to greet us, Jinxx and CC followed grudgingly behind. I took a deep breath and got out. I was immediately tackled by Ashley who gave me a bear hug and swung me around laughing happily. Hex was barking happily and jumping at his feet. No sooner had Ashley put me down than Andy picked me up and swung me around to face him, lifting me by my waist so we were eye level. I hate being only 5'3, especially next to Andy who was freaking 6'2.
'Hey there Maxin." He told me grinning.
"Hello Andrew." His smile broadened and he kissed my cheek before putting me down. Jake walked over and hugged me, rubbing my head.
"Hey there Princess."
"Hey Jake." Hex was practically vibrating with joy because Ashley and Andy were fawning over her. Jake let me go and I took a deep breath, walking over to Jinxx and CC.
"Hi, I'm Max."

~CC~

I starred at Ashley's little sister as the other's hugged her and swung her around. Her skirt was short and kept lifting to expose her panties and perfect ass. I knew I shouldn't be looking because Ashley was like a brother to me, but honestly she was hot. When the three others let her go she walked calmly over to Jinxx and I.
"Hi, I'm Max." Jinxx gave me a 'here goes nothing' look before stepping up to shake her hand.
"Jinxx, you'll be temping for me." She smiled beautifully.
"I know, I'll try to stack up." Her modesty seemed to appease Jinxx, but I wasn't convinced. She turned to me and her smile grew making my heart skip a few beats. God she was lovely.
"Christian Coma, but you can call me CC, or Chris if you really feel like it."
"Thanks." She was starring into my eyes with a sort of awed look on her face, and I couldn't make myself stop starring right back. Someone coughed and we both jumped a few feet.
"Right, Max, you can have my bunk or Andy's with us, or Andy and I could share."
"Could I have my own then? I don't want to get in your way." She blushed and picked up Hex, who was jumping at her feet barking happily.
"Sure thing Princess." Jake answered, putting his arm around her shoulders. I couldn't seem to think of why that bothered the hell out of me.
"Oi, Pitts, hands off Maxin." I raised a brow at that.
"Maxin?" she blushed.
"Yeah, our parents weren't very good with genders." Ashley and Andy laughed, but it was a sort of sad one, probably remembering Ashley's parents who had died in a car crash when he was eight. That would make Max... four. I looked at her. She smiled back and we all got on the bus, she only had two suit cases and a laptop bag.
"Is this all your stuff Max?" Andy asked, looking at it.
"Yeah. You have to remember that I was at a private school in a convent. Damn nuns. I haven't seen my boyfriend in months." Somehow the thought of any guy touching her pissed me off.
"I'm sorry, who?" Andy demanded.
"My boyfriend, Parker." She told him, only just noticing his pissed off look.
"And when is dear Parker going to come meet your older brothers?" Ashley asked, cracking his knuckles.
"And when are my older brothers going to realize I'm eighteen and don't need, or want them beating up my boyfriends?" Ashley and Andy shrugged, Jake muttered something about over his dead body.
"Anyways, he's coming to the show tonight, which we should probably all get ready now." Everyone nodded except Andy.
"We need to put in new ground rules first." Max sighed and turned.
"Such as?"
"Every body knocks. Always." Max rolled her eyes.
"And if anyone touches Max I know she carries a knife, so keep that in mind." I looked her over and noticed an army style pocket knife on her hip. My respect grew slightly.
"Right, I'll go change first." She said, turning to the bunks. Ashley went to follow and then stopped red in the face realizing his blunder.
A few minutes later Max walked out. I could practically hear some bad ass music in the back ground and it seemed like she was walking in slow motion. Black ripped up skinny jeans that hugged her ass perfectly, a loose BVB shirt with a green bando with a black ripped cover on it, steel toed combat boots, her hair was down her back and she was wearing a black and white bandanna. Jake and Jinxx were wolf whistling at her. She blushed prettily and turned to Andy.
"Do my war paint?"
"Sure kid. You look bad ass, by the way."
"Thanks." Andy puled her into the bathroom and they emerged about twenty minutes later with Max covered in white, making her have an almost ethereal glow, black painted on scars and stitches littered her body and one of her eyes had a star around it. I grinned, she looked like a complete bad ass and it made her appeal go up even more.

~After the show~
~Andy~
We all piled onto the bus, chatting happily because Max had, although not quite up at Jinxx's level, had still rocked.
"Max that was awesome." She flushed through her mostly sweated off make up.
"Thanks, you guys mind if I take a quick shower?" Everyone gave her the okay, seeing as it was almost two in the morning we all decided to sit down. She came out later wearing marvel comic pajama shorts and a cut up Spider-Man shirt that showed some midriff and cleavage.
"Maxin Paige Purdy, you go put something appropriate on right now!" Ashley shouted, jumping off the couch.
"I'm eighteen." She muttered plopping down in between Jinxx and CC. Jake jumped up to go shower.
"Yes, but Grandma and Grandpa made me your legal guardian until you graduate."
"So you've got me for what, three months?" She smirked, leaning back.
"Whatever, want to watch some home movies of Max, Andy and I?" Ashley asked, sitting on the other couch. Jinxx and I immediately nodded.

The first one was when Max was about two and sitting at the table with Ashley who was six. A very pretty women that looked like Max sat with them, they were finger painting and Max took a large handful of the paint and plopped it onto Ashley's head. Ashley promptly took some green and poured it on Max who sat in her chair and began crying. Before dumping some pink in Ash's lap.
"Maxin, say your sorry to your brother." The women scolded.
The young Max huffed but did as told.

The next was Max and Ashley in the bathtub, it must have must have been about a year later because Ashley was gibbering about he was seven and almost as old as his new friend. Andy upstairs with a dark skinned man who must have been Max's father. He was pail, but still blonde and grinned cheekily at Ashley.
"Hey Ashes."
"Hi Andy. Do you want to take a bath with me and Max?" Andy looked uncertainly at the person holding the camera who told him it was fine.
"Okay." He smiled and started taking of all of his clothes. We all laughed and the current Andy was beet red, sitting next to a very embarrassed Ashley. Max was unfazed until the next clip came on which was apparently after a while because Max was about nine. She was holding a violin and playing, scowling and starting over every time she messed up. Eventually Ashley came running in completely naked with an also naked Andy right behind him. Jake came back and sat down to watch because Jinxx, him and I were all in hysterics now.
"Ashley why are you naked?" Max asked, putting her violin in it's case and watching the two boys.
"Truth or dare, to the extreme." She rolled her eyes.

A few more videos and I realized that while Ashley and Andy had friends coming in constantly, Max never had any.

The last one was probably just before Ashley moved out because he looked eighteen. Max was sitting in a chair, not looking happy at all.
"Max, you need to take the medicine, you lost too much weight."
"I did not." The real Max was absolutely horrified at the video, but seemed too shocked to get up.
"Max, you're sixteen, 5'3, and only weight eighty pounds, take the damned medicine." Ashley argued. Andy was standing near by looked pissed.
"Never." Max told him, folding her arms.
"Give it here." Andy told him. Ashley did as told and Andy sat on Max's lap and pried her mouth open before tilting her head back and dumping some down her throat. She tried hard not to swallow but he plugged her nose and she was forced to. This proceeded with the entire bottle. When the video cut out Max stood and rounded on Andy and Ashley.
"Why in the fucking hell did you record it?" She growled, red faced and shaking with furry.
"In case you relapsed." Andy muttered.
"That was two years ago, you think if I was going to re- start I would have by now?" She demanded. They both shrugged. She took a deep breath and rounded back to the bunks.
"Where are you going?" Andy asked, standing up.
"To bed. Unless you want to record that too, make sure I don't keep staying up late?" He sat back down.
