Chapter 8

"Get upppp you need to change out of your clothes and fix your hair," Max laughed at the sight of my monster like hair.

"Mmm but I wanna stay in bed forever," my voice muffled against the pillow, "your pillow smells good.."

I took in a deep breath of the scent. It smells so good..

"You're cute."

I blushed a little but ignored it ad continued to smell his pillow.. I swear to god it could make me addicted and might make me go high.

"Are you still drunk?" He asked.

"Noooooooo," I protested.

Okay maybe I was slightly drunk. I don't know..

"Okay stay here with my pillow I'm gonna sneak into your room and get clothes," he ordered.

"Kaaaaaay."

After I heard the car drive away I hugged his pillow and took another deep breath. I didn't know he smelled so good..

That's when another memory hit me. This time the ache in my heart was unbearable, I choked a cry.

It was the time he asked me to be his girlfriend. We had to go for a summit and on the way there we were playing truth or dare with some friends.

They dared Adam to hug me and when he did, oh my gosh.., he smelled so good. When I got home from the summit, he messaged me and confessed.

Then the next day he asked me to be his girlfriend. I was fangirling so hard inside I screamed with Alaska being so happy.

It was on the 25 July.. Used to be the best day of my life. Now its just a memory fading.

I don't want to forget those times. I want to keep it fresh in my head. I want it to feel like it never ended. Why did I end...

Tears started pouring from my face without me knowing, making Max's pillow wet. I squashed my face against his pillow and started crying.

I sobbed quite loudly.. But not loud enough for the neighbors to hear. I turned on some break up song on my phone and sobbed.

Was I still drunk? Is this a moodswing? No.. I was crying and it was for real.

Soon, there was one patch of wetness on his pillow and I felt bad.. Wiping my eyes with tissues, I put the pillow cover into the laundry basket and put on another cover.

It didn't have the same smell as his previous one.. But who cares..

I put his pillow to the side and curled up on his bed crying, I probably ruined my dress with tears but it was already ruined when I slept in it.

A moment later he bashed into the room with a bag of clothes and gave me his signature bear hug.

"Shhhh its okay don't cry," he whispered, stroking my hair.

I changed into the clothes he brought me which was just a random tee and running shorts which was really comfortable.

My mum called.

"Hello?"

"Hey honey. I'm going away for a short trip. I talked to Alaska's parents but they are busy so I asked Max's parents. They are on vacation but Max is at home so he'll take care of you. I'm gonna send over your suitcase. I'll only be away for a week. I left your window unlocked so you can get other stuff you might need. I'll see you in a week," my mum said.

"Wait what? Where are you going?"

"Just out of the city. If this works out, you might have a new father..." She sighed.

"What.. Mum are you serious," I frowned. A new father? I was perfectly okay with my mum. I didn't need another dude to come in and ruin my life.

"Yes I'm serious. Your brother is gonna stay at his friend's place. I'm almost at Max's house. I know you're already there anyway."

"Bye." I hung up.

A new father..

"What happened?" Max asked.

"I might be getting a new father... My mum is coming with some of my stuff. I'm staying at your place," I buried my face in my hands.

"Hey.. Its alright. He could be those really good guys."

"I hope.."

"Anyway you wanna watch a movie? A horror movie? I'm gonna order pizza," he smiled.

"Sure. But don't chicken out. I'm pretty sure you're much more of a pussy than me," I laughed.

"Hmmm we'll see."
