Max and his mum have talked it out, his mum is staying at Max' house and Max is staying at my and my parents house for the time being, helping me pack some of my belongings, starting with my clothes and working my way through my room
But time passes and suddenly it's Saturday, Im freshly showered and dressed up for the reunion. Ready to prove a point.
"Are you still sure that I shouldn't come with you?" Max asks, after while I was able to convince him that I can do it and need to do it on my own
"Im sure" I smile and put on my rings
"I hate that you're going out looking like that and I can't look at you all night" Max says smiling at me
"Well, don't worry you'll be the one ripping all of this off once I get home" I tease him and he bites his lip
"Oh don't tempt me" Max says excited and comes up behind me and kisses my neck softly
"No hickeys" I says as I feel his lips on my skin
"I know, I'm already holding back" he smirks and I look at him through the mirror, his eye already looking much better then it did on Monday
I smile at him and walk back to my room, grabbing my phone, wallet and keys and my eyes fall on Arthurs letter again and Max notices me staring at it
"What is that? Why is it still closed?" Max asks me
"Charles gave it to me from Arthur, he told me to read it once im home but I haven't yet" I tell Max and he takes it off the bulletin board and presses it in my hand
"You said you were facing your past, it also includes Arthur" Max says and gestures me to open and read it
"What if its bad, I can't read it when im about to leave for this reunion" I try and find an excuse and Max rolls his eyes
"Then im right next to you" he tells me and I sit down on my bed, and Max right next to me and I open the envelope and pull out a piece of paper, some pictures fall on my lap as I do so and instantly see that they are pictures of me on stage, while eating or just when Arthur and I spend time together
Hi Dylan
Im assuming you're at home right now if my brother actually told you to wait until then. But I needed to know that you're reading this when you're surrounded by people that care about you.
I just wanted to tell you to take every jump you think you can make, doesn't matter where it takes you. cause ever since Theo introduced us, you made people around you grow into the best version of themselves without trying.
Im sorry for how I acted. I was just jealous that someone else got you. I also got some professional help for my anger issues that I didn't even know I had and I totally deserved the fist in my face by Max. Right there I suspected something between you two and thought it was the best for me to stay far away from it. But seeing you in the elevator with Lando and Theo made me realise that with the way I acted I wasn't any better then Theo.
You have already been struggling with your confidence and I don't want to be the one that held you back. Max and you are perfect opposites of each other and that's beautiful, you compliment each other perfectly. I can tell by your Music how much he has impacted your life and I know you we're part of it yourself... you're stronger then people expect and I know that you're gonna prove yourself to the world in no time. Maybe some day we can see past all it and continue being friends. But until then I wish you the best
Yours
Arthur
ps. Enjoy the pictures, you're a start, feel like one and Max don't mess this up
