33. "what's wrong"

Max's pov--->

"When is she due" I look at Cameron. I told him not to bring her so i didn't have to see her.

"In October"

"So what? She's been pregnant for a fucking month and now im learning this?!" I slam my hand down on the table.

"You need to get your fucking anger controlled before I tell you anything else Max" He got up and left. I rolled my eyes and went to the kitchen.

Opening the fridge i was met with nothing. Not even a little piece of food in the fridge.

"Fucking great." I slam the fridge door and grab my hoodie and beanie "I didn't fucking sign up for this shit" I scream at myself. I grabbed the hand gun dad left behind, shoving in my wasteband and grabbed my skateboard.

I headed to the nearest store that i haven't robbed yet. It was a 7-11, and not that busy of one.

I pull my hood lower and adjusted my beanie more. I grab a few snacks then head up to the counter.

"Good afternoon" The cashier said. I look around at everything. Not very much camera's, theres a good amount of cash in the regester that could pass me for around a week. I act like im fixing my hoodie after i sit the food on the counter. i pull the gun out shoving it in the girls face.

"Oh my"

"Give me the money" I don't look at her. "hurry up!" I wave the gun in her face. She hurries and gets the money and i shove it in the bag with the snacks.

"I am so sorry" I say before i leave. My heart pounds in my chest more now than ever because her voice... it was familliar. I ride my skateboard down roads as i see police go by. I keep riding until i hit a hole sending me forward. I smash my face into the gravel but get up and continue.

I run to the front door and walk in flippin the light on.

"where were you" Billie's voice echos. I mentally panic. I still have the bag on my bag full of money that i just fucking stole.

"Out" I take a deep breath then take the bag off walking to my room.

"where max" I heard the small footsteps of hers follow me. I tossed the bag on my bed.

"at the 7-11" I chew my cheek.

"wait, the one that just got robbed?" I nod slowly and pull the hood down. "max..." I feel the lump in my throat.

"it's all in the bag" My voice cracked. "it's all i know what to do billie" The warm tear fell down leaving a trail. She cupped my face gently and whipped away the tears. She kissed my nose then brought me into a hug.

I pulled away from her after a minute and went to the bathroom.

my face was a little bloody, scratch on my left cheek, small cut on my forehead and my eye is already turning purple.

Sifting through all the drawers in the bathroom I finally manage to find hydrogen peroxide and some bandaids. I set them on the counter and strip getting into the shower.

"Hey Max I got to go" She knocks on the door but doesn't open it.

"Okay"

"I love you"

"I love you too"

. . .
(a month later)

"Hey Max" Ray run up to me kind of excited.

"Hey ray" I set my bag down next to the chair.

"So I was wondering..." She looked around the room like there was some type of force. "we are having my brother's birthday party and I wanted to see if you wanted to come" She turned back to me and smiled.

"I mean sure, I don't see a problem" I toss my phone on the table looking at her.

"good good, it's this Saturday at 8pm" She gave me a note with her address on it.

"thanks" I gave a half smile waving it in the air.

"Alright class, today..." the teacher began.

I walk into lunch with ray at my right side. I haven't seen Billie today which was odd but she's a celebrity going to a public school. I wouldn't blame her for skipping a day.

I pull my phone out then text her.

My grass head

I sigh as I see she hasn't even seen the messages.

"what's wrong" ray sat down with a tray of food. It looked like a four year old tried to play with shit.

"nothing" I drag my hands down my face.

"there's something up" she pushed her tray away looking at me. "is it Billie?"

"yeah, she hasn't been answering me a lot lately. it's been going on for almost two weeks now" I spill out.

"how about you come over after school and we do something to get your mind off of it" She put her hand on my shoulder.

"yeah sure" I set my phone down looking at the tray of goop. "I think they took a shit on your tray"

we busted into laughter and talked about random things until lunch was over.

Me and Ray walked outside into the air as everyone left the school. The bell just rang so we were dismissed.

"I have to go do some things in my apartment then I'll be over" I tell ray.

"wait did you move? I thought you said you had a house?" I bit my lip as I remembered.

"I had to move out of it. I couldn't afford it anymore" I smiled gently. truth is I have no where.

I get into my car while driving off. I bit my lip as I came to a hault Infront of the library.

"Never would have thought" I whisper to myself. I grab my bag slinging it over my shoulder. truth is I've been bouncing to peoples houses for the best few weeks. I haven't been able to find a job either.

"long time no see max!" Betty greated me as I walked in.
