We will meet again | Maxley

Chapter 28

– PJ –

"Do you think that Max will be okay?" I asked, mixing my coffee after adding sugar

"..I don't know, man. I just hope that he will be," Bobby answered, focusing on the road

We were heading to the hospital to pick up Max since they said that he'd be discharged in the afternoon, so here we are

We, as in Bobby and I. Mocha couldn't come along with us since she had to stay and talk to the police. Apparently, someone called the police when the fight happened, and Mocha didn't stay at the café to talk to them

So, she's with them right now.. I just hope everything turns out alright

..

"It's all my fault.." I said, looking out the window as I held my coffee tightly

"You didn't do it on purpose, man. You were drunk. He took advantage of you.. Don't blame yourself," Bobby reassured me, shooting glances at me

"He didn't take advantage of me!" I shouted but quickly covered my mouth

Bobby turned his head to look at me, "What?"

"I mean..– Uhm.. I uh.. I told him willingly."

Bobby moved to the side of the road and parked, shifting his body to face me

"But, you came back drunk! You told me that he forced you to tell him everything about Max and Bradley."

I let out a nervous sigh and shook my head, "Obviously, I can't drink yet! You have to be 21 to be able to get drinks.. I sorta bumped into Tank, and he insisted on buying me drinks. I sorta got comfortable with him and told him about Max and Bradley..."

"So.. You lied? Not to me but Max? Why didn't you tell us the truth! Max is at the hospital!! He could've been killed, PJ!" He shouted, obviously angry

"I know that! I know that now.. He.. He never told me his intentions. But, it was weird to me that he kept on asking questions about their relationship.. I never thought much about it. Until now," I said, looking back down at the coffee

I heard him let out a sigh, "You better tell Max the truth this time. To him and Bradley, if he's there.. And if one of them attacks you, I'm not going to hold them back," he said before starting to drive back to the road

I stayed quiet and took a sip of my coffee

I never thought Tank was cable to do such a thing..

I feel guilty... I almost killed my best friend. My only childhood friend who was still with me until now

I'm such a horrible friend...

. . .

Once we arrived at the hospital, we checked in before we headed to Max's room. Bobby and I bought a few burgers at Max's favorite burger spot, and obviously a huge fry and a dr pepper (I dislike that drink, btw)

"Do you think that Bradley will be there?" I asked, pushing the button for the elevator

Bobby simply shrugged, "I don't man.. Probably not. I heard that the juniors are busy with exams and stuff, so I think that Bradley would be far too busy to even come here and visit Max," he answered, walking in the elevator once it opened

I slightly nodded and followed him in

We arrived on the 4th floor that Max was staying at and walked to his room

"You are going to tell him. Are you?" Bobby asked me, looking up at me

I nodded, "I am.. I feel guilty for not telling him the truth the other night."
