Hey guys! How you guys doing? Here's the next chapter liked I promised. ;)
M P.O.V
I woke up to someone calling my name. "Max. Max, can you hear me? Max pleas answer me if you can hear me", the voice continued. The voice was soft but escalated like someone turning up the volume on a radio. I opened my eyes but had to shut them again. The light was blinding me and I tried to open my eyes again. After being able to open my eyes without the sunlight hurting my eyes. Fang's face was covering my view. "Max are you okay?" he asked. "Come closer. I need to tell you something", I whispered to him. My voice sounded so rusty and my head hurt like hell. He put his ear next to my mouth and his black silky hair brushed my chin and my lips. "Fang, GET THE FUCK OFF ME!" I screamed into his ear. He jumped back since my scream probably burst his ear drum.
He tripped on the rocks and landed on his back. His no expression face showed surprise. I guess he wasn't expecting that. I burst laughing. I was rolling on the ground laughing my ass off. Every time I tried to stop I looked at his face which was now serious. So I went back to laughing. And all the time he looked at me like I was crazy and lost it. Ohhh, well. I lived in an abusive home and I cut myself regularly so yeah I probably did ages ago. That thought stopped my laughing fit altogether. I sat up and looked down at my sleeves. They were messily down and covering my cuts and bruises. He seemed to notice this and raised one of his eyebrows. In his eyes he was telling that he wasn't giving up getting his answers. "Look I'm not going to tell you anything because I just met you. But I see if I don't you won't stop to find out. So I'm going to say this once and don't make me repeat myself", I told him.
I got up but the moment I put weight on my ankle I had to sit down again. "I don't think you broke it or anything. Just stepped on it wrong. I checked your ankle and nothing seems broken, so you can probably stand up in a while", he said to me. When I said nothing he continued. "I could carry you home now or I can also rub your ankle", he said. "NO! IDONT NEED YOUR HELP!" I yelled at him. He shrugged his shoulders and held his hands in surrender. He had a smirk on his face and made him look sexy. Wait what? Did I just say that? Well maybe I hit my head harder than I thought. I shook my head to clear that stupid head of mine. "Well most girls I know would be dying for me to even look at them", he said. I threw a small pebble at him. "Sexiest pig! Think all the girls would trip over you" I shouted at him. I stood up ignoring the mild pain in my ankle and walked away and sat down in one of the benches.
I felt his presence behind me and then he turned around to leave but I surprised myself by telling him the following. "All you need to know that I did used to and no need to worry about when you got a life to live" I said to him. "Well thank you for telling me and don't worry I won't give a damn about your life", he said and then he walked in front of me. "We should be heading back now", he said. I nodded and got up. "ANGEL! NUDGE! TIME TO GO!" he yelled in the direction of the playground. In a few seconds they came and their faces were flushed from running. "OMG! WE JUST HAD THE BEST TAG GAME EVER. WE ARENT SURE OF WHO WON! I THINK IT WAS ANGEL SINCE MY FLATS ARENT MEANT FOR RUNNING. GOSH I´M HUNGRY. I WONDER WHAT WILL BE FOR DINNER! I HOPE ITS MEET LOAF BUT I WANT SOME CHEESEBURGERS TOO! HEY WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK WE SHOULD DO AFTER DINNER? I WANT TO PLAY THE WII FITNESS TO BURN OF THE CALORIES YOU KNOW? BUT I DON'T THINK DAD HAS IT HOOKED UP RIGHT NOW. SO WE COULD mdghfjdh", Nudge rambled until Fang covered her mouth with his hand. "We get it Nudge. Now shut up. Please", he said.
So we just walked home in silence. When we reached their house their mom greeted us at their front door. "Hey kids. Come right inside and go into the dining room. Dinner´s already on the table" she said. So we just went inside. Angel and Nudge took their food upstairs and Fang and I stayed. The adults already ate dinner and were in the living room. We didn't say much to each other. We just said some simple words and ate in peace.
After I got up to put my plate in the sink, he spoke. "I won't tell anyone" he said. "Thanks", was all I could reply. I gave him and tiny smile and sat back down, waiting until I had to go back to hell.
F P.O.V
´She must live a hell of a life for her to cut herself´ I thought.' She probably doesn't want anyone to find out anyways´. I decided to tell her, her secret is safe with me. "I won't tell anyone" I blurted out before I could stop myself. "Thanks" was all she said and gave me a small smile. When she smiled, even a tiny one, my day would brighten. Wow! I got to stop with this mushy weird crap. She sat back down and just sat in silence. When I put my plate in the sink we heard our parents getting up. They probably were leaving now. I noticed how her eyes became filled with fear and then was emotionless again. What brought that on? "C´mon Max. We´re leaving." Her father said. She nodded and got up. "Thank you for diner Mrs. Black. It was good" she said extending her hand and my mother shook it. "Oh, you're welcome. And thank you" she said and they walked out the door. Her father turned around and thanked my mom once again.
"I´m going to take a shower mom then go to bed" I told her. "Alright honey" she responded. I walked upstairs and got into the shower. (Don't go there) after that I got into bed with some light pajama pants. Tonight it was warm like another summer´s day. But I couldn't fall asleep with Max on my mind. All I kept thinking is. Why would she cut herself? But most importantly, why was I worrying about her when I told her I wouldn't. I shook my head to clear it of Max. But then I was so mesmerized by Max´s smile. How it seemed to light up my world when she did smile. Then I started thinking about her face, her hands, and her hair, everything that has to do with Max. But then I stopped myself because I barely knew the girl and why I was thinking of her. So I fell asleep with no answers to my questions.
M P.O.V (after they went back home)
"Did you tell him anything", was the first thing that came out of Jeb´s mouth the moment we got inside. I shook my head no. I wasn't looking at his eyes instead down at my hands. Then I felt something come down on my right cheek. I looked up and notice Jeb was furious. Oh no. great. I upset him. Now I´m toast. "When I talk you look to into my eyes and answer with words! Now go upstairs to your room you worthless piece of shit!" he spat in my face. Slowly walked upstairs but he wasn't w having that because he punched me in my gut. I fell and he kicked me in my other side. I curled up in a ball trying to protect my stomach and my face. He kept hitting me and kicking me until he became tired, which was after 30 seconds. He left me there in the hallway bleeding. I got up after two minutes of lying there. Every step to my room upstairs was excruciating.
I was finally able to get to my room and into my bathroom. There I tried to stop the bleeding everywhere. My side was killing me and my ribs hurt so much, it hurt to breathe. Why would he do this to his own daughter? What did I do to deserve this hell? I got up slowly and I was surprised that I had the strength to change into my pj´s. Then I lay down on my bed and curled up into a ball and sobbed away. I wish I had my mom again. Then this wouldn't be happening to me. I wish I could live with Ella and her mom. Tomorrow I have to go see Iggy. I need his pyro ways to make me feel better. Once we go back to school I would be even more bruised. I was also a victim of bullying in school. I got up slowly and dragged myself downstairs. I noticed Jeb fell asleep on the couch with the TV on. Wow! New record.
I walked into the kitchen and got the sharpest knife I could find. I walked quietly back upstairs back to my room. I just couldn't take the pain anymore. I had to get rid of it.
I sat on my bed and started to cut away. I cut my thighs and my arms. With each cut a new pain went away. By the time I was done I was surrounded by a small puddle of blood. Wow I lost a lot of blood today. I started feeling dizzy so I put the knife under the sink and went to my bed. The blood dripped onto my sheets but I didn't care. I recalled today´s moments I the park to make me feel better. I remembered when I laughed at Fang´s expression. Wow I haven't laughed like that in almost… wow I lost count. But I know it has been since a long, long time. And I fell asleep with salt water running down my eyes.
There you guys go. I can remember how many years it has been since Max´s mom died. Anyone who reminds me gets 10 virtual cupcakes. Most people do cookies but I do cupcakes! With frosting. Ohhh um thanks to theirdarkmaterials for telling me the latest news on Paramore. I´m heartbroken. Sorry guys I'm late in gossip. Thank you guys and I made the chapter a wee bit bigger. Hahaha yes I said wee. So immature guys. (Starts laughing) Hey I didn't say I wasn't immature. Well guys bad news before I go. After brake I probably won´t update as fast because I got Band practice on Mondays and Wednesdays and Percussion practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays. And Fridays are my only free days. Sorry. But I get out at 2:10pm on Fridays so that's good and I got Saturdays and Sundays for updating right? Well bye. Madam R.
