chapter 17: Before the Movie with Robin

(This chapter does mention sh)

MAX'S POV:

Me and El woke up and got dressed. When she was changing her shirt I came up behind her and started kissing her neck. She started laughing and pushed me away "Max!" She said I just giggled and finished getting dressed. When we were done we walked out of her room and sat at the table.

Joyce walked over and handed us breakfast "eat up" she said then she kissed els forehead and patted my shoulder then walked over to her seat.

We were all talking when the phone rang I jumped up "I GOT IT!" I hollerd as I proceeded to run to the phone. "Hello?" I asked "hey red..." I heard Robin reply. She sounded sad or like she had been crying.

All of a sudden the other phone rang "I got it" El said jumping up to answer it. "Hello?" She said "oh. Ok I'll let max know. See ya'll soon." I heard her say to the person after a pause. "Are you okay rob?" I asked worried.

"Y-yea I just wanted to see if you and el wanted to come over to watch a movie." "Of couse" I replied to Robin. By this time El was next to me with worried eyes. "We'll be there soon." "Ok bye" Robin replied then I hung up. "Robin needs us asap! Steve has been having to hold her and hug her since she got home yesterday." She whispered in my ear.

Ok. "Mom, Dad, we're going to Robins" El says as we start leaving "ok bye have fun!" Joyce replies. And we start RUNNING to get to Robin.

We finally arrived and knocked on the door Steve answered "she's on the couch" he said moving out of the way so we could run to her. when we got to her we gave her the biggest hug. El and I looked at her. The look in her eye was nothing I've ever seen from her before.

I looked at el she knew what to do she left and brought Steve with her. I grabbed her arms and just looked in her eyes trying not to cry.

EL'S POV:

I had Steve in the kitchen with me "the look in Robin's eyes. They looked Mike she was fighting for her life not to do something bad." I looked at him with worried eyes he pulled me into a hug and I just thought of the look in Robin's eyes.

The look that showed desire of hurting herself. I started silently crying while Steve was hugging me when I pulled away he wiped the tears out of my face "she'll be okay, I'm here with her." He said.

I wasn't worried about how Robin would.be effected as much as I worried about how max would. Max would definitely start hurting herself if she found out Robin did. I was worried for both of them more then anything.

I heard Max say "it's okay. I love you, ok? Your basically my sister, I'll always be here for you" then I heard the faint sound of Robin crying. I got some snacks for the movie and went into the living room.

"Movie time!" I said setting down the tray on the table infront of the couch. I grabbed a pillow from the couch and held it tightly trying to hide my face. "I'm going to the bathroom" Robin said standing and walking off.

Max came over next to me and I leaped at her. Steve walked in and sat 2 spots away from max so Robin's only seat option was between Steve and max. I heard a slam coming from the bathroom and jumped up and over the couch and ran to the bathroom. "You ok Robin" I ask "y-yea just dropped something" she said with a shaky voice.

I open the door since it wasn't locked and look at her. Under where her sleeve always is are a few scars. I look at Robin "Theese are really really old o swear" she says starting to cry. I shut the bathroom door and hug her. I see she had a knife "what were you about to do..." I ask picking up the knife "I was thinking about it but I decided I wasn't going to and I dropped it. I haven't done it since well... 5 years ago but I for some reason still haven't thrown away the knife."

"I will take the knife. If you need to talk I'm here but please don't mention this to max. also lets not bring this up unless you need to talk." I say, she nods. I walk out and go outside and hide the knife so I can get it before we leave.

I go back inside and sit next to max where I was before "is she okay?" Max asks "yea, she just dropped something snd needed help" I reply hating what I just found out. She walks out and sits down and lays her head on Steve. I know exactly why she chose Steve and not max.

A/N: Sry about the mention of sh! To anyone who is struggling just know your not alone. Anywho ik in the show Robin doesn't mention sh but she didn't rly get into detail about that stuff, plus that can also be a sensitive topic. I love Robin so this is absolutely not how I want her character to be in the final season I want her to be happy!

Also how do y'all like the book so far? I've had writers block recently so my writing schedule is going to be wonk now
