Chapter 5
"Max, wake up" I whispered she wakes up, but barely.
"Iggy, I- I-" she starts but I hush her.
"Do you remember anything?" I ask.
"Yea…" she mumbles a stray tear creeping down her rosy cheeks.
"Max?" I kiss her forehead gently wiping the stray tear away.
"Iggy…" she pulls me into the bed next to her and covers us up.
"Cold?" I ask, she nods and shivers. I wrap my arms around her tight while covering her up with the blanket better. "Max, you know…" I trail off she looks up at me with her delicate brown eyes.
"Igs?" she asks.
"Max, I-I" I whisper.
"I love you too Ig." She cuddles my chest. My heart rate quickens, she just told me she loved me. I can't think straight! Pull yourself together Ig!
I hold her closer, " I love you so much Max." I start to cry right there.
Slowly, she wipes away my tears. "I'm sorry Max, I-" I start but she shushes me. What happened next made me lose my mind. She reached up; gathering my shirt in her hands and hauling me down towards her. Gently like the touch of a newborn, she kissed me.
