Mad Max

Part 6

Max's POV

God I'm so bored, I've been stuck in this god damn hospital for a week now, I need something, more pills,

"uh Steve my head hurts can I have another pill" I reach for the bottle,

"No Max" he quickly snatches it off my bedside table,

"God you are such bullshit" I face away from him, he gets up and leaves, now I'm finally alone. Everyone has been really nice visiting but I mean I really just want to be alone, El has visited but I don't want to talk to her, she cheated on me, when I needed someone the most. Once Steve closes the door behind him, I sit up and look around the room, I spot the pills on the faraway table. I get up and stumble over, shit my ankle, it's still recovering from it's dislocation, luckily I fall close enough for me to reach them. I take out two pills and crush them, I lean down to the table and suck them up my nose, a sense of relief takes over. Finally at peace,

"Max what are you doing out of bed?" Nancy rushes over to help me up, I quickly wipe my nose,

"I just want to go home" 

"I know Max, you will get out soon, I promise!" I try to smile, Nancy helps me back into bed, all of a sudden there's a disturbance outside, Neil and my Mom enter the room,

"Maxine you are draining my money, you are leaving hospital today" Neil rolls a wheelchair at me,

"Get in bitch" He is mad, I look at Nancy,

"uh she can't leav-"

"don't tell me what I can and can't do with her" he snaps at Nancy,

 "MAXINE GET IN THE FUCKING WHEELCHAIR" he grinds his teeth and leaves the room, I quickly grab my bag and shove all the pills I can find in it,

"Max stop"

"Sorry Nancy I have to" I get in the wheelchair and try to push myself,

"Here let me" Nancy wheels me out of the hospital and to the car where Neil is waiting,

"call me Max" she helps me into the car and waves me goodbye.

-the next day-

El's POV

Max was released from the hospital yesterday, she still won't talking to me, the phone rings,

"Hey El, its me Marcus can we talk?" Is Max ever going to come back to me? I can't just wait around forever,

"yea I guess"

"Cool, I'll be over in 5"

"cool" I hangup the phone, I head into my room,

"uh El who was that?" Will stands in my doorway,

"oh no one"

"uh okay? I think we are going to go see Max today, do you want to come?"

"yea maybe" who am I kidding, Max hates me.

"okay well we are going soon so just let me know" I smile at Will and he leaves, there's a knock at the door,

"I'll get it" Jonathan yells,

"WAIT I WILL" I run out and open the door, it's just the postman,

"hi?" the man gives me some mail and leaves, I turn back around, Will and Jonathan both stare at me confused.

"What?" I walk away leaving the mail on the kitchen table, when I go back to my room Marcus is sitting on the bed,

"Marcus!" I shut the door behind me and he gives me a weird look, I smile and sit next to him,
