|| Im Always Here ||

This was a request from @lumacccxxx so thank them for this one shot. Anyway this takes place after the battle of star court.
  || Lucas's POV ||
  Lucas held Max close to him, his arm wrapped comfortingly around her shoulders. The party had all gone home, or wherever they really wanted to, because everyone was too tired to object to anyone staying over at another's place, which in this case, meant Max was able to stay with Lucas.
  Now they were sitting on Lucas's bed, in silence. Max was looking blankly at the wall, her eyes wide.
  Oddly enough, Max hadn't spoken a word since they drove away from what was left of star court, she hadn't even shed another tear.
  "Max?" Max flickered her gaze a little, indicating to Lucas she was listening. "Do you want to..talk about it?"
  "Talk about what?" She murmured, her gaze fixed on the wall.
  "You know what." Lucas didn't want to say his name, but he knew Max understood what he was talking about.
  "There's nothing to say."
  "Max-" Lucas was cut off by Max.
  "He's dead, Lucas. He's gone. I never got to say goodbye..or apologize for all the shit that happened between us..I..I would have done something, instead of just stood there. I should have helped him..he's gone because of me.." Max's face twisted into one of sorrow and her eyes brimmed with tears.
  "Oh Maxie.."Lucas pulled her into his chest and she started sobbing, soaking Lucas's shirt with tears.
  Lucas wanted to comfort her in any way possible, but he was at a loss for words. I mean, she'd just witnessed her brother's death, what could he say?
  "Your wrong." Was all he said. Max sniffled and pulled away from their embrace, looking at him with an expression that made his heart ache.
  "W-What?"
  "Your wrong. It's not your fault at all. No one would have expected what happened back there to happen, no one blames you for his death."
  "R-Really..?" Max stuttered, continuously wiping the tears that streamed from her eyes.
  "Yes, Max, really."
  Max buried her face in her hands, sobbing louder than before. Lucas pulled her onto his lap and embraced her tightly.
  They stayed this way for quite some time, until Max's sobs were almost silent.
  Glancing at his alarm clock, Lucas saw it was almost 1am. She must be exhausted..He thought to himself. At that moment he realized how tired he was himself. He felt like the weight of the world was on his shoulders, but there was no time to think about himself, he had to think about Max.
  Her head was now rested on his shoulder and her arms were around his torso. Gently, he stood up, holding her in almost the same position, and laid her down on the bed, crawling in beside her. Max was murmuring something under her breath, her eyebrows furrowed and her lips curved into a frown. Her eyes were closed and her breathing was slow, indicating that she was asleep.
  "Your okay, Maxie. I've got you. I love you. He reassured her, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her gently on the head.
  "Love you.." Max breathed out, not really to anyone in particular, which made Lucas smile a little. The next few days wouldn't be fun, Lucas was sure of that. He knew they would be full of tears and comforting words, but he was okay with that. As long as Max was going to be okay, he was going to be okay.
