Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes
But it's the only thing that I know
When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive
He loved her, she was his big sister. His should be role model, the family wizard and all around prankster. He loved her so much. He hoped that she knew it.
We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And time's forever frozen still
Looking at the photograph, tears ran down his face. They were smiling, the three of them, the unbeatable siblings. Together they could accomplish anything so long as they were together.
So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home
He would wait for her, any scrap of news he could get. She was his sister and yet although she had a whole load of people that cared, he seemed to be the only one looking for her, actively at least.
Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul
And it's the only thing that I know, know
I swear it will get easier,
Remember that with every piece of you
Hm, and it's the only thing we take with us when we die
He received the news at one in the morning. Justin popped in, tears down his face. He was shaking and looked at his family, dread in his eyes. It took a moment for everyone to understand. Without a second thought he walked up to Justin and punched him. His parents begged him to stop but he couldn't. She had died because of what Justin had said and Max would never forgive Justin for taking his big sister away.
Hm, we keep this love in this photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts were never broken
And time's forever frozen still
He was shocked after it happened. Justin had called her worthless and nobody stood up for her. He wasn't there but Alex had come to say goodbye. She said the family no longer wanted her, she may be the family wizard but she could never live up to the almighty Justin Russo. He tried to stop her but at the end of the day she was too defeated.
So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone
When Mason found out he nearly killed Justin. Max would've gladly let him bit he'd already lost one sibling. So he managed to calm Mason down…. Only for Harper to take Mason's place. He didn't need to stop her, she stormed out of the apartment before he could. In the following week's harper, max and mason had become close. Max had even been told the story of where Mason kissed Alex in the rain. He smiled, at least she didn't always feel insignificant.
And if you hurt me
That's okay baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
He'd hurt her, he wasn't about to deny it. She'd left, left him to believe she was coming back. Only she got killed by one of the many people she'd defeated. Max would still wait for her. She just couldn't die, she was Alex Russo.
You can fit me
Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen
Next to your heartbeat where I should be
Keep it deep within your soul
He found the necklace in her room, under her letter. He didn't read the letter, wasn't ready for the goodbye to become real. Instead he looked at the necklace. Inside was the picture of the two of them. Max and Alex on his fifteenth birthday. She was laughing and was throwing popcorn at him whilst he tried to catch it in his mouth. He remembered it fondly, she made sure that he had a good day. He even found out she'd canceled a date with mason to spend the day with him. She was the best big sister.
And if you hurt me
Well, that's okay baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
He wasn't ashamed to admit he cried. Her funeral was so Alex-like and that's what he liked. His parents had lost weight and were barely functioning yet at her funeral they began to act like they were ok. Max knew differently, they didn't tell him off for coming home at ungodly hours anymore. When Justin did a speech Max felt the urge to hurt him. He didn't, this was her memorial and he wouldn't disgrace her in that way.
When I'm away, I will remember how you kissed me
Under the lamppost back on Sixth street
Hearing you whisper through the phone,
"Wait for me to come home."
The last time he saw her she kissed him on the cheek. He knew he wouldn't see her for a while, he just didn't realize it would be very long time. It didn't matter that she was gone, he would never forget her. To him, his big sister was unforgettable.
