Finished this in two days! AND did all my work at school :p
….
This was the worst possible day. Yet, it was also the best. I was clad in black. Off the shoulder midnight black dress, barley above the knee. Black heels that coiled around my legs. And black gloved hands that clutched my black hand purse.
The gloomy gray sky perfectly matched the scene unfolding in front of us. Of course, I was crying. One of my best friends was lying in a coffin. But my heart had opened.
I saw Maxwell walk away and I followed.
"Um, Maxwell?" I asked quietly. He turned to look at me and I saw the hurt, tenderness, vulnerability, sadness, and loss that filled them.
The love of his life was lying in a coffin.
But his other love stood in front of him. I just had to make him see.
He rapidly wiped his eyes.
"Y-yeah?" He muttered.
"Are you okay?" I questioned.
"Yeah." He lied.
"Tell me the truth, Chestnut."
He sighed, then shook his head.
I sat down on the ground and put my legs off to the side. Patting the ground next to me, I heard him sigh.
"She's in a better place now, Chestnut."
Maxwell nodded.
"She was real sick. She was hurting. The hurts gone now , Maxy. The hurts gone…"
"I know." He grunted, "It's just, hurting me."
"I know you love her, Chestnut." He sat down next to me and pulled his legs to his chest.
"But you gotta let her go. She'll always be your angel though."
He smirked.
"She used to be my earth angel… now I guess she's a real one."
He put his head down and I saw the tears fall into his lap.
He would never see her again. Ever.
Cancer had gotten to her.
"Aw. Come here, Chestnut." I pulled him into my arms.
He now cried into my shoulder and I felt my heart break inside.
"I love you, Chestnut."
His sobs stopped. And he slowly pulled away from me to look into my eyes.
I screwed up.
"Lavender." He breathed. Unable to understand. And what else could you expect? I was his best friend. But nothing near what shehad meant to him.
"I love you too, Lavender."
I smiled. This was a dream come true! We could be together fore-
"But…" He spoke.
But? There is no 'but' in 'forever'.
"It's too soon." He said. "I still miss Sandy too much. I can't replace her so fast."
"And you never will I could never replace her! You loved her first."
He kissed my lips and stood up.
"Lavender. If you really love me, you'll wait."
"Of course, Chestnut. Maxwell, I'll wait forever if I need to!"
He held both my hands and stood me up.
"You don't have to wait forever. Maybe just half a year at the most."
He kissed me again. But I did not let him go as easily as the first time. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kept his lips in sync with my own. I would make him want me so badly.
I pulled away..
" I love you, Lavender. I promise I do. Just wait for me."
"I will, Maxy. I promise I will."
He took my hand and squeezed it.
"Thanks, Gabby.
"Anything and everything for you, Maxy."
He walked away and I sank to my knees.
No one could know I had cancer too…
I would be a cancer survivor.
And I would wait for Maxwell.
As long as it took.
I have something worth fighting for now.
His love…
…..
There you have it! I finally got Maxy! Sad that Sandy had to die for it to happen. And I don't have cancer! I just thought it would be good for this story. Love and all for everyone.
Sandy x Maxwell 4ever signing off!
