Punks Not Dead

Love Is Pain

•Maxi's POV•

The next morning, I woke up earlier than usual. I felt unrested and drained. Then it hit me...

...Sid Vicious was coming to live with me.

Honestly, I didn't want this. I wanted to hide under my covers and pretend Rotten had never called. I wanted to move away, leave everything behind and move to somewhere faraway like France. My homeland.

Although, it was true what Rotten had said. Sid was my best friend, too. No matter how many times he had lied to me. Or he had hurt me. Or had ditched me to hang out with...Nancy.

At first, I thought it was a phase. I thought he would just dump her out of his life, like most chicks. I was so wrong.

And now, she's gone and killed herself! I seriously think that bitch is stupid. She always was stupid. She was no good for Sid whatsoever. A waste of space...a waste of oxygen!

I was the only woman in Sid's life who was actually good for him. His mother, who has been a drug addict for a long time, loves him very much. Just in the wrong ways. It's all her fault that he's where he is today. She's the one who introduced Sid into drugs...

I finally drove myself to the airport and waited. He would be arriving from New York at any minute. I couldn't believe it. Sid was actually going to be here.

In a way, I was really excited. On the other hand, I felt like it was a horrible idea. Sid Vicious, coming to live in my house. With me. Just me. Could be dangerous.

We'll be all alone. Just him and I. No one to stop whatever we do. No one to tell me how wrong my feelings for him are. How badly I want to be with him forever.

Just then, I turned my head and saw all the people from the plane start piling into the airport. I looked around and tried my best to look for Sid. People started coming in less and less and the crowd was slimming more and more.

I eventually found him, shaking, walking slowly; face sullen and eyes black and dejected. I swallowed hard.

He finally looked up and into my eyes.
