Chapter 4

"Max, what the hell?" I ask my brother as we sit in the car outside of the ER. He is refusing to go inside and I can't make him. 

"Just take me to Niall's house." He tells me as i start the car back up. He is still profusely bleeding from his head and the towel he is holding up to the wound is blood soaked, but he does not think it is that bad when really it is. 

I take off down the road and drive to Niall's house in minutes to please Max. He sits in the car as we are parked outside and waits to get out. 

"Do you want help?" I ask my brother as he fumbles with the door handle. He looks over at me and nods his head. I take out my phone and text Niall. 

Me: Niall come outside, we have a situation. 

Niall: Sort of busy. 

I stop texting and look out my car window and see some girl looking through the curtains of Niall's room. I don't know if I should be angry or just blow it off because in reality we are nothing and all we did was kiss. 

Me: Seriously. 

The text thing I know Niall is opening up the door and walking down the pathway to the sidewalk. He looks through the passenger window and opens it up. He does not say a word to Max as he unbluckles the seat belt and pulls him out. 

I look back up to the house as I also get out of my car and see a girl in Niall's shirt standing in the doorway. Niall helps Max up the steps as we go into his house and he sets him down in the downstairs bathroom so we can clean him up. 

"What the hell happened, Magnolia?" Niall asks as he walks out of the bathroom.

"He came home like this and refused to go to the ER. He wanted to come here so I took him here." He looks at me while raising his eyebrows. While Niall and I stand together, the girl that Niall had over walks into the hallway we are in. 

"By the way, this is Samantha. Samantha this is Magnolia." Niall introduces us and I give her a great big smile since I know him and her just had sex.

I leave them and go to the hall closet and grab a wash cloth and Hydrogen peroxide to clean Maxwell up. I go back to the bathroom and Maxwell is leaning down against the tub as I begin to clean out the wounds again with the wash cloth. He tries not to wince from the pain, but can barely hold it back. 

I walk back out and get some band aids from the closet and apply them to Maxwell's head as he is still sitting. he has not said a word to anyone since he has arrived and it has almost been an hour. 

"Hey guy, I will be right back. I am going to go take Sam home." Niall tells us as he pops his head into the bathroom. 

"Can I go to sleep somewhere?" Max asks as he sits up a little. 

I go over to Niall and he takes my hand as he stands up. He seems to be feeling a little better and it makes me feel not so sick about how he was. We walk into a spare bedroom of Niall's home and he lies down on the bed and pulls the covers up.

"Go home, I don't want you to be left alone with Niall." Max sternly tells me as he turns over. I leave the room and slightly shut the door and go to the living room. 

I set myself down on the couch and stay there until Niall returns. I want to let him know that Max is asleep in the spare room and to check up on him time to time. I check my phone and it is already four in the morning and I have not slept in forever and I am exhausted and have to go into work by ten today. 

I lie down on the couch and shut my eyes. I need to sleep so I will not be exhausted at work and for the rest of the day. 

"Mags." I slowly open my eyes to see Niall standing above me.
