Max's POV:
After getting the text from Zoe saying that she had pulled already I was really hurt, I didn't think she would move on that quickly. I knew it wouldn't be hard for her to pull though, she's beautiful. Robyn and Lofty came in looking at me. I knew they could tell something else had happened.
"Max, what's happened mate?" Lofty said and I could feel myself already tearing up and I haven't even started talking yet. No girl has ever made me feel like this before and I've gone and ruined the happiest I've ever been in my whole life.
"Zoe's pulled" I said and they both looked at each other with an unreadable expression on their faces, obviously they both knew what the expression was though. I don't want their sympathy though.
"Max, when I first started Linda told me that when Zoe was trying to get over Nick Jordan she just slept with anyone because it made her heart hurt less" Robyn said. This made me feel slightly better that it's just a way of getting over me but I realised then, I don't want her to get over me. My phone rang suddenly and it was Zoe. I looked at Robyn and Lofty who sat down on the other sofa watching me as I answered it.
"Zo" I said not knowing what else to say.
"Max, it's Grace I took Zoe's phone" Grace said from and I knew this wasn't going to end well.
"Grace why did you ring me, if it's to have a go then don't bother I'm not in the mood" I said and Robyn and Lofty looked pretty shocked, they don't know that Grace is Connie's daughter. They must think it's a relative of Zoe or something.
"It's not Max I swear. Zo hasn't pulled I sent that message to try to make you jealous I'm sorry I know you lover her and I know she loves you as well. You need to do something to win her back and I won't pretend that it's going to be easy because she is really hurt but I promise it will be worth it in the end" she said and I smiled. I'm happy Zoe hasn't pulled and that I have a chance to get back with her but why does Grace want us to get back together I thought she would be against it.
"Grace thanks for trying but she won't want me back, not after what I've done" I said still unsure and crying.
"She would Max trust me, I've heard the way she talks about you. But Max why did you end it?" She asked and I didn't know whether to tell her or not. What if Zoe was listening I couldn't have her know.
"She's to good for me and deserves so much better, I thought I would save us al the fallout further down the line by ending it now before she realises that she can get anyone she wants not just some porter" I said risking it, I needed to tell someone and Grace was just there. Robyn had a tear in her eye whilst she was leaning into Lofty, guessing it touched her slightly. They were both smiling at me.
"Max, she loves you and she doesn't care that your just a porter and she's the clinical lead. She loves you for you not for the job you do" Grace said and it made me realise that she was right. "I need to go Max because Cal has just shouted up for me to go down but trust me, you will get her back" she added before hanging up. I never knew a 14-year-old girl could talk so much sense.
"Who's Grace" Lofty said as I brought my phone down from my face.
"Does Zoe have a daughter that we don't know about?" Robyn asked obviously shocked.
"No you idiot, Grace is Connie's daughter" I said and they suddenly clicked.
"So what did she say anyway, seemed to cheer you up a bit" Lofty asked. I swear he is getting more nosy like Robyn each day.
"She just said that it was her making up that Zo had pulled to try to make me jealous and that If I tried hard enough I could win her back" I said not going into details. If Robyn wasn't my sister I wouldn't be telling either of them this.
Zoe's POV:
Grace came running down the stairs with my phone after Cal shouted her down. Before we even had a chance to tell her what we wanted to she blurted out about Max, again.
"I've just rang Max" she said and I could feel my temper rising inside me, why can't people just stay out of our relationship even though it doesn't exist anymore. "Before you go mad Zo just hear me out" she said and I just nodded. She looked towards Connie and Cal who were stood in each others arms in front of her and smiled at them.
"Go on then" Connie said to her daughter and she instantly spoke afterwards.
"Right I asked Max the real reason why he ended things and he gave me an answer whilst crying. He said that he thinks you deserve someone better than a porter like him and that when you realise you could get anyone in the hospital you will leave him so he ended it to try and stop the fallout further down the line" she told me and I was shocked I never knew Max felt like that.
"I love that idiot so much" I said still pretty shocked that he thought I would end it with him for some stupid reason. "I need to see him" I added and they all looked at each over and their facial expression said it all.
"Zo, you've been drinking there is no way we're going to let you out of this house. Wait until work tomorrow and speak to him then" Cal said and I knew there was no way around it. I text Robyn telling her I would still pick them all up tomorrow.
"Grace if you want I will drop you to school tomorrow before work, I'm going that way considering I'm still going to pick Robyn, Lofty and Max up" I said and they all looked shocked.
"Yeah sure, thanks Zoe" she said smiling towards me. I went upstairs and collapsed into the bed in the spare room, I sooner I slept the sooner I could sort things out with Max.
I know Grace would only be about 6 or 7 considering when she was born but for the sake of the story I've made her older.
