True Love Never Dies

Chapter 11

Ellen's POV:

I had no idea what I was supposed to say, there was no response to what he had just said. I no longer knew what to think but one thing I was sure of, they were hiding something from me. I nodded a little and looked between Jacob, Renesme and Max before whispering. "I'll be upstairs," I whispered and ran upstairs, towards Max's room.

I didn't know what to think. I took a seat on the end of Max's bed. "I want to go home," I sighed quietly and hugged my knees as I stared into space.

I could hear footsteps coming up the stairs as I wiped a few tears from my eyes. Looking over to Max as he walked through the door I bit my lip softly "What's going on?" I whispered.

"Nothing," He took a seat next to me and I looked over to him. "I promise," He whispered, kissing my forehead. I nodded a little, I didn't know what else to say or do. "Your parents come home tomorrow," He whispered, rubbing my back softly. I yawned slightly and looked up to him. "Which means tonight is your last night here," I frowned slightly. Things might be strange around here at the moment but I loved being here with Max more than anything.

"And it's not long till we graduate," I grinned a little over to him. I might not like what's going on at the moment but there was no doubt I loved him

"That's true, I love you," he grinned a little and kissed my forehead. I lay back on his bed, grinning up at him.

"I love you too," I couldn't be angry. There was just something about the way he smiled at me that made me so happy. Letting a yawn slip I looked up at him before pulling a pillow under my head.

"I think you need a nap," Max chuckled. I nodded a little, laughing softly as another yawn slipped. "You look shattered,"

"Thanks," I laughed softly and curled up, pulling a blanket over me. "You should join me," I yawned softly. I hadn't been this tiered in a long time, something was strange.

"I might," he kissed me softly, the way that sent butterflies through my stomach. Kissing him back softly I looked up at him.

"Or you could go talk to your dad," I bit my lip, taking his hint. I nodded a little and looked up at him.

"Fair enough," I reached up and kissed him quickly before laying back on the bed, yawning softly. Max smiled softly up at me and kissed my forehead as he jumped off the bed. I watched him for a moment before curling up, and falling into a deep sleep.
