Maxie sat in her room thinking. Jesse had just told her that it was over. That he used her. She knew the truth. He wasn't like that. He cared about her. If Mac would just stop intimidating him, then MAYBE Jesse would stop being such a complete and total asshole. Who was she kidding? All Maxie picked were assholes. Assholes who used her to be online porn stars, or assholes who used her to help steal drugs from the hospital, or assholes who use her to clear their name. They were all the same. It's not like she REALLY cared about him anyway.
If that was true, then why was she crying?
Walking into the room was Georgie. Seeing her sister sitting on her bed crying, Georgie immediately ran over to the bed."What's wrong? What happened?" Georgie was concerned. Maxie just got out of the hospital. Then she went on the run with some rent-a-cop.
Maxie looked up at her sister before wiping her eyes. "Nothing.I gotta go." Maxie said as she stood from the bed and walked towards the door.
Her sister's voice stopped her. "It's midnight. That's only...oh..two hours past curfew! And curfew is when you're supposed to be HOME..Not when you're supposed to leave!"
Maxie sent one last glance towards her sister before walking out the door. "I don't care. Tell Mom." With that, Maxie slammed the front door and went into her car.
She knew Georgie wasn't going to tell on her. That was the easy part. The hard part was going to be finding somewhere to go that didn't remind her of...him.
Abandoning her car, Maxie decided to walk. Once she reached the docks, she froze. This was where they busted Murphy. This was where she had told him that he owed her dinner and a movie. This was where he kissed her. This was also where he dumped her.
Sitting on a bench, Maxie began to cry. Not loud, annoying sobs, but quiet tears that ran silently down her cheeks. Hearing footsteps, Maxie looked up. It was Georgie.
"Look, I don't know what's going on. Okay? But I want to. Tell me." Georgie sat down next to her older sister.
Maxie looked at Georgie before speaking. "Jesse..he..dumped me. He said that he used me to clear his name, and since that was finished, we were too." Maxie let out a tiny sob before continuing. "But I know he didn't mean it. He's a coward. He's afraid of whatever dad is holding over his head."
Georgie shook her head. "Why are you still wasting your time on this guy?"
Maxie didn't answer. She simply shrugged her shoulders.
Georgie nodded her head before standing up. "I'm gonna head home. Don't stay out too late."
Maxie nodded her head as her little sister left. Closing her eyes, she let the tears cascade down her face.
"Why are you crying?" Maxie knew that voice. It was...him. He who shall not be named.
Without looking at him to see if she had the correct identity, she answered. "Because of you."
Jesse sat down next to her on the bench. "I'm sorry. Some of the things I said earlier were kind of...mean."
Maxie scoffed. "Kind of? You've gotta be kidding me, Jesse. Let's put it this way:The THINGS you SAID today were a MAJOR turnoff."
Jesse nodded his head. "That was the point."
Maxie narrowed her eyes at him. "Are you THAT scared of my dad? You're willing to throw everything we had away cuz' my dad tells you to? I'm not dumb. I know you were lying...and that pisses me off more than if what you said was the truth."
Jesse silently sat there, allowing her to continue.
"You are a coward, and a liar..a bad one at that." Maxie finished, sighing.
Looking over at her, Jesse asked "What do you want me to say?"
Maxie smiled. "Say that you lied. Say that you're sorry. Say that you wanna be with me as much as I wanna be with you. Say that we can be together."
Jesse nodded his head. "I lied. I'm sorry. I wanna be with you as much..if not more..than you wanna be with me." He then shook his head 'no'. "But we can't be together, Maxie."
Maxie looked at him. "We can keep it a secret. Nobody has to know. I just need to be with you."
Jesse laced their fingers together. "Your dad is going to kill me."
Maxie smiled a genuine smile."He's never going to find out, Officer Boudrey."(I have NO idea how to spell his last name..lol)
Jesse nodded his head before letting a small laugh escape his lips. "He better not."
Maxie then leaned over and kissed him. The kiss was passionate, but still gentle.
Resting her forehead on his, Maxie began to whisper. "Let's always be like this."
Jesse laughed. "Why are you whispering?" He asked her, speaking at regular volume.
Maxie rolled her eyes before sitting up straight. "Way to ruin a moment,Jesse. I gotta head back home. Georgie can only fend off the 'where's Maxie' questions for so long."
Standing up, Maxie laced their fingers back together."Tomorrow. The park. midnight." She said before leaning in and kissing him one last time.
Once the kiss broke, Jesse nodded his head as he began to walk away. "My cell's always on." He heard Maxie say as she began walking in the direction of her house.
Opening the front door as quietly as possible, Maxie tip toed into the house. Once she closed and locked the front door, the livingroom lights turned on. In the livingroom were Georgie,Felicia, and Mac.
"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU, MAXIE!" Mac asked, enraged at his daughter.
Maxie nonchalantly shrugged before answering. "I went for a walk."
Mac narrowed his eyes. "Was Boudrey with you?"
Maxie rolled her eyes before shaking her head 'no'. "He dumped me. Thanks a lot, dad." Was all she said before walking up the stairs.
Once she entered her room, she let out a long sigh followed by a girly squeel.
"Obviously things got better once I left." Georgie said, entering her older sister's bedroom.
Maxie dreamily nodded her head before shutting her door. "Jesse showed up. We...talked."
Georgie sent Maxie an unsure glance. "You're gonna end up hurt, Maxie. This guy is bad news."
Maxie laid down on her bed before speaking again. "Thanks MOM. Shut the door on your way out."
Georgie nodded her head before heading out the door. Halfway out, she turned back to her sister. "Just promise me you'll be careful."
Maxie smiled as she nodded her head. "Promise."
With that, her bedroom door closed. Maxie was left to dream of Jesse.
