Last time: Max and Nikki went hiking and refreshed some memories of their younger times. Max declared his love for Nikki although a little bit rushed. Neil and Tabii fucked.Before we continue we have to go back in time again to the moment Max and Nikki ran from Tabii. More bonding time.Nerris' POV"What are you waiting for? Go get them!" Ordered Tabii. Usually no one would even care about what she said, but this time, it was different, Max made Neil cry, and also made Harrison cry too. We had to stop him. We all went into the woods to follow them but then, I noticed Harrison stopped following us and went the other way we were going, I decided to follow him. I found him crying behind a tree. He was sitting down with his legs folded and his arms crossed on too of the legs. I slowly approached, he saw me coming.

"Go away. I don't need you to remember me how pathetic I am." He sank his face into his arms.

I sat down besides him and I could almost feel him trembling. I put my arm over him and then pulled myself closer to him. I got my face closer to his.

"It's ok Harrison, I don't think you are pathetic" I whispered into his ear. I could now actually feel him trembling.

"I just don't get it." He was really scared. "Why do they want him back? He is a psychopath. He was enough of a psychopath and now he is even trained by one?! I can't handle this.."

"Oh come on! You are stronger than this, I know you, you always overcome everything that stands in your path!" I said with a big smile, trying to cheer him up. I failed.

"I can't, I don't, I'm not even a good magician."

"You are a great magician, after all, no other human in the entire world has make me fall in love with them except you!" I then realized what I said. I can't believe I said that.

"Nerris?"

"AHAHAHA look at the time, we should be searching with the others!" I was really nervous. I started getting up but Harrison grabbed my arm and stopped me.

"Is that true? You love me?"

"I... Uh... Well..."

"Nerris..."

"Yeah?" Wait a moment, he's not going to... is he?

"Well, you see, since we were always fighting each other I never got to tell you, but... I actually feel the same"

"What?! But... What about Nikki?!"

"I know, but I never loved her as much as I love you" I immediately looked away, I was to embarrassed to look him in the eyes. "Nerris, please look at me." I turned to him and he hugged me. I felt really happy, I had no words, so I just hugged him back. I gave him a little kiss in the cheek.

"Alright Harrison , let's get going"

"Ok, let's go"

We were blushing a little bit but we carried on.

Back to Max and Nikki

"Max, I love you too"

He looked to me and his eyes were shining really bright.

I smiled and then kissed him.

"You know Nikki, I think we will finally be happy together."

"Oh Max... I'm so happy" I started crying. Tears of joy. "I... I do-"

"Nikki? Niiiikkiiiiii. Come on Nikki"

I woke up... It wasn't real.

"You finally woke up, you were smiling and crying. You okay?"

"Was it all... A dream?" I was really sad. "Of course it was, it would never happen in real life haha" I kept crying. Tears of sadness.

"Nikki, you okay?"

"When did I... When did I fall asleep Max?"

"Well, after hiking we were chased, we managed to escape and sat under this tree, then you fell asleep."

It wasn't real...

Max's POV

Nikki looked really sad, I knew what I had to do in order to make her happy, but, was I ready? I wasn't even sure. I just heard her mumbling while she was sleeping.

"Max... I love you... Max..." She was repeating that in her dream. I... I'm not ready.

"Hey Nikki, cheer up! 'It might be just a dream but if you want, you can make your dreams come true'. Now, who said that?"

"Well, I did but.."

"Nikki, believe in yourself." She just looked away. "Nikki, look at me." She didn't look. "Come on Nikki, just, face this way." This time, she did. I gave her a kiss on her forehead. "I believe in you"

"I... If you knew what i was dreaming of, you wouldn't be saying this."

"Whatever it was, you are strong and you can make it come true, unless it was a bad dream, then I don't think you would want to." She laughed.

"No, silly, it was the best dream I've ever had." She just said. "Max I-"

"There you are!" Ered caught us and she looked really tired, Sasha, Erin and Preston were also here.

"Hey, where are Nerris and Harrison?"

"Your distractions won't help you out now, Max, prepare to-" said Ered

"Actually" Preston cut her "They are not here"

"Oh for the love of... Where are they?"

"I don't know Ered, calm down"

"So..." I interrupted "Are you just gonna stand there and fight each other or is something going to happen?"

"Shut up Max! Yeah, something will happen. You are coming with us" I was about to reply but then they put Nikki and I back to back and tied us together. "Let's go." Nerris and Harrison came on some pickup truck. They put us on the back, still tied with Sasha an Erin watching us. Ered and Preston went on the front with Nerris and Harrison.

Since Nikki and I were tied up I wanted to try something, I held her hand and interlaced my fingers with hers, I could feel her heartbeat rising. I held her tighter and did the same with my other hand. "Max, what do you think your doing?" Sasha asked me with a threatening tone.

"Oh, just enjoying the being tied up thing with Nikki."

"I can't believe it, you rejected me, for her?"

"Well... Yes... And no? I mean, yeah I rejected you because Nikki was more important for me but we are not dating either."

"Wait, you aren't?" Asked Erin.

"No, we aren't"

"Oh my gawd, I was sure you two were, like, a thing, you know?"

"Well, we could try, right Nikki?"

"Wh-What?! I- uh- I mean-we? Ahm.."

"Hahaha, relax Nikki, only a joke" I said that while I grabbed her hand more gently.

"I wonder what will Tabii do to you Max. She might spare Nikki, but Max... I wonder" Sasha mentioned

"Oh shut up, you cunt!" Nikki strengthened her grip on my hand as she heard Sasha talking.

"Oh you fucking piece of garbage, I'll personally ask Tabii to make you suffer!"

"Bring it on bitch!" Nikki held me tighter.

"I fucking hate you Max!"

"At least the feeling is now mutual Sasha!" Sasha broke into tears.

Nikki was trembling "Hey, relax, everything is going to be fine" I whispered to her. She didn't answer, instead, she moved her head back, touching mine.

"What are you crying for bitch?! Only I can cry!" Sasha mentioned.

"What are you-" I started

"I'm not talking to you asshole, I'm talking to the freak" She said while pointing towards Nikki.

"Hey don't call her like that!"

"Or what?"

"I will fucking murder you!" A terrified look ran across her face. "Ah! Not literally, god dammit. Harrison I fucking hate you, I can't talk freely because I almost killed you!"

"I guess you two are really in love."

What?

What?

"What?"

"I mean, just look at you, you defend her from everything and when you defended her she stopped crying and don't think I didn't notice how you whispered to her so that she calms down."

"We are almost there!" Said Ered.

Time was running low, I had to think. And fast.
