Chapter 10- Lets go
In Nathan's room we just sat there and looked at each other for an answer of what just happened. Nathan wouldn't let Warren talk to me and it was my turn to be shallow, Nathan was very happy I wasn't being nice at all. Chloe just didn't care, all she did was open pack after pack. I decided to have another smoke, I realized then I had just become addicted, I looked at Nathan who was sitting on his bed, giving me a silent nod it was okay for me to smoke in his room. I didn't like it, but yet I wanted it. "So Vortex Club is hosting tonight, let's go." Nathan was the first to break the silence. "Why the fuck not, why in the hell don't we just leave this place!" Chloe was going to loose her steady grip on her situation. "Because we need to get Jefferfuck out and behind bars." Nathan answered calmly, and quiet. "Chloe would you like to leave after everything is done?" I couldn't help but ask. "Yes." The the reply I got, and no feelings. I was halfway through my smoke when someone knocked on Nathan's door. He went up to answer it but then came a familiar voice that I didn't want to hear. "Max I know you in there, open up!" And Nathan sat down and shook his head and lit up a smoke for himself. I start feeling the stress rise up, but then to deal with it I just took another puff. "Let's go eat get ready and go to the party." I commented. They both looked at me then at each other and started to get up, Chloe helped me up and Nathan grabbed his phone and looked at me. "Vic says she wants you and Chloe to get ready in her room in an hour or so." I was fairly happy Vic was concerned about both me AND Chloe I smiled. "Sure I want someone who wants to leave Arcadia to come with us." She seemed to have calmed down but I didn't want to say anything. "Max where do you want to go?" Nathan asked me. "I don't know, maybe back to Seattle but not back to my parents." I spoke the truth, I didn't want to see my parents even thought there nice and all, it's just I couldn't go back yet. "Ya sounds nice let's pack tommorrow and start dealing with Jefferson and then we can leave." Chloe was deadpan serious. "I have a lot of money I can buy us a house there and we can live there for awhile, maybe add someone to our trio, I want to leave as well." I could tell Nathan was serious, he didn't like staying here, after all is parents did just treat him like dead weight they poured neglect into. "Well I guess it's planned, we should leave in a week, say our good byes and take off." I wanted to say goodbye to Warren, but I don't think I can bring myself to do it.
Chloe was the first to walk out and I can here Warren asking her if I was in here. Nathan pushed me up against the wall, my heart was beating faster as his nose brushed against my jaw line, his breathing steady and his lips tracing the bridge of my neck. His fingers grazing my collar bone, my weight was getting heavy, and I wanted to push him into the bed. This feeling gave me butterflies to the next level, it was weird. "What the fuck?!" Then Warren just ruined it. "What's wrong faggot? You don't deserve Max." Then Warren said the coldest thing I've ever heard. "I deserve her you basterd! You don't! You back to your parents wealth!" Then I heard a slap. Funny thing was it came from me. "Do not talk to him like that! Just because he does things that are things you don't do doesn't make him any less of a person!" My voice was getting higher. "This is the last time I was going to talk to you, and you ruined a chance for me to forgive you! This is good-bye" and he just stared into my eye, he started lean in but Nathan pushed him away from me. "Are you guys leaving or something?!" Me and Nathan looked at each other and I nodded "Ya, for good" I could feel myself croak from all my yelling. He started walking backwards from us and was shaking his head in disagreement. "But we were meant to be together..." I sighed not sure how to tell him. "That's how you think of it, but fate and love lead me to Nathan." And he ran off.
Couple hours later
"This would suit you Chloe it's one of my most punk rock outfit ever." Victoria was in aww. "Alright seems legit enough." Chloe started to get undressed. "And max I have the perfect outfit for you!" She was getting excited. "Oh my that is so pretty!" It was a burgundy cardigan and a pearl mini dress, with A nice pair of black flats and a black belt. "It looks so hipster!" I couldn't help but say it. "That's why it will suit you." And Victoria handed me the outfit, and this is the last time I would be in her room, for sure. "You can have a smoke if you want Chloe, I don't really mind..." And nodded then looked at me. "Can Max smoke too?" And Victoria looked puzzled. "I didn't know you smoked" and then she nodded in understandment. "Ah, Nathan." I lit one up and I found my stress to just slip away, smoking made it easier to relieve stress and think things through.
