Last time: Max had the worst dream ever. He almost died while sleeping which made Nikki really worried. Max and Nikki are more united than ever.

Nikki's POV

After Max woke up he cried and nothing seemed to calm him. After an hour or so, he stopped crying.

"Oh, I know what will cheer you up! Some coffee! Let me bri-" He grabbed my hand and stopped me.

"Please don't leave." I turned around and hugged him again.

"Ok, I won't. But you still need a coffee. Neil, could you please bring Max a coffee?"

"Huh? Oh, right. One sec." And he left. I was just there with Max, he had a hard time speaking so he didn't. Neil came back with the coffee.

"Max, Neil came back. Here's your coffee." I handed it to him and he took him like if he was afraid of the coffee. I don't get it, I thought he loved coffee. He drank it and soon he was better.

"Thanks Nikki. Sorry for worrying you."

"It's okay Max. Now, could you tell me what happened? What did you dream about?"

"I... Um... Well... I really don't want to..." He was looking weirdly at... Me? Wait, no. His look went further than me, he was looking at Neil.

"Oh, I gotcha. NEIL!"

"Uh?! What?! Oh, Nikki. What is it?" He got surprised.

"Umm... Privacy? Please?"

"Oh! Right. Sorry. I'll be at the electronics store if you need me. Or you could just call me. Also-"

"Just leave already!"

"Ok ok, you don't have to shout at me."

"aaaaaaaand he's gone. Now, tell me. What was the dream about?"

"Well... It was horrible, it felt so real. I... I thought it was true... I woke up and everything seemed fine, you offered me coffee and I offered you pancakes... But... but, for some reason you were really mad at me and you kicked me out of your house. Not only that but, you broke with me... And... I was so sad... And... and... I'm sorry Nikki, it was horrible..."

"Shhh... Don't worry. I'm here for you."

"Ok... Ok. So after that, shit happened. Sasha started flirting with me, but I was empty, I felt nothing for her, so I left her. And everything went wrong, nothing made me happy... Until... Until I killed myself." What? He... killed himself?... I... I can't believe it... Part of me is happy to know he cares so much about me, but the other one is worried. "Before killing myself I heard your voice telling me not to do it, but it wasn't you, it was actually nothing. I finally felt peace, but it didn't last long. Everything broke inside me, well, inside dead me. After a while I stopped breathing and my pulse got lower, and lower until I technically didn't have a pulse... But then, the real you helped me wake up. I could've really died."

"Max, I... Is that why you were afraid of the coffee?"

"I wasn't afraid of it. I was afraid of what could've happened."

"Max, don't worry. I'll be here for you."

"Thanks Nikki. I... I love yoooo... I... I'm not feeling fine... What's going on?" I looked at him, his head was bleeding, it was a little bit of blood but it really worried me.

"Max! You're head!"

"Wha-? Huh? Weird." He touched the spot where the blood was coming out. "This is exactly where I shot myself in my dream... Why am I bleeding? This is the real life... Right?"

"Yes, well, I guess."

"Well, anyways, I should go and see a doc-" He stood up and didn't finish the sentence because he fell down to the floor. "Huh? Why am I hugging the floor? My head hurts..."

"Max, did you hit your head earlier?"

"Well, I did hit my head, but that was two days ago. Nothing big actually." He tried to stand up. He failed. "Like I said I will just go to a doctor, I'm fine." He tried to stand up again, he could stand up now. I looked at the bed to see if it was stained with blood. It wasn't. Weird.

"Max, you can't drive like that. I just called Neil and he said he would come here in a second."

"Fine, I'll wait." Neil got back really fast. We got in and he just drove.

"Max I can't believe you." Neil said. "How did you not notice your head was hurt?"

"Well, what can I say? Hehe."

Neil was driving fast, but it still seemed like we were taking forever to get the hospital.

There wasn't many people so a doctor took us in immediately. He checked Max's vitals and then he concentrated on the injury. He said that sort of injury happens when an object cuts inside the skin and he wasn't sure the object was out, so he sent him to get some X-Ray. Indeed, there was a small object inside Max's skin, somehow. I don't really understand this thing but they said something like the object got in but didn't actually cause a big injury, but it moved and it made an actual cut, and because of that it wasn't bleeding earlier.

The took the object out (Neil didn't tell me the details of how) and put some stitches on his head.

"There, done. You should be more careful" The doctor told Max.

"Hehe, yeah, I guess so. Thanks doc."

"No problem."

Everything seemed ok.

"At least nothing got more complicated than it should have." I talked too early. Suddenly everything started shaking. An earthquake. I couldn't believe our luck. The earthquake lasted for about 10 seconds. It was strong. We evacuated the building while we could and Neil drove us back. I was scared, what if there was another tremor? What if this time everything fell down? And something similar happened...

Well this was a shit chapter. 980 words. What will happen next? You'll have to wait to find out. Good bye
