MAX

I shouldn't of wore a t-shirt, it was freezing out, it was the middle of December.

I guess I just wanted to impress Lucas and win him over even though he is already mine.

Jesus! It is absolutely freezing!

It's funny, you would think I'd be used to the cold by now, with the figure skating.

Just that sentence coming into my head reminds me of the nutcracker, and that I have to work with El in it.

I stand there in the cold for a second and then I turned back.

I'm not apologizing, I did nothing except express my emotions to someone I thought would care.

I would just sit there in silence and not talk to him until he apologizes to me or never.

I hope not never, I love him.

Wait? Do I love him already?
Stop thinking Maxine.

I started making my way back towards Benny's, hoping to just forget about this.

Once I finally got back there I walked inside and looked for Lucas and Eleanor's table.

Once I finally spotted their booth, they had their backs onto me.

I stood there for a minute and just watched, when I definitely shouldn't of.

I saw El lean into kiss Lucas.
The kiss only lasted around two seconds before Lucas pushed her off and started yelling at her, I couldn't hear what he was saying but when he turned around a saw me standing there with tears running down my cheeks, he looked heartbroken.

"Max." He exhaled and came towards me.

"Just a second Lucas." I scoffed and walked past him coming towards me.

I walked right to El.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I growled as I halled off and slapped her across the face.

I heard a few 'ooh!'s in background but I didn't care, I just kept yelling at her as she gave me a look.

Not a look of guilt, a look of pride.

"What is wrong with you? What kind of best friend does that shit?" I sobbed as I started to feel Lucas drag me away from her, and I let him.

I didn't have any energy left, especially for a girl like her.

Once we got to Lucas's car, I sat down in the front and cried like a baby while he rubbed my back, trying to comfort me.

"I'm so sorry, you were right. I thought you were just upset about El or something, but you were so right, im so stupid I'm really sorry Max." Lucas apologized.

"It's fine, I know I sounded crazy."  I choked.

"No, it isn't. I just left you there." He sighed.
