We will meet again | Maxley

Chapter 53

. . .

As the two men arrived back at the clinic where Princess was brought to, the brunette got out of the car and looked around for any signs of Max. But there was none. He assumed that he might be stuck in traffic, but it's way too early for traffic

Bradley scoffed and made his way inside the clinic, asking the front desk if there was any news about Princess yet, but there was none. He now started to panic. It's been two hours since they arrived at the hospital, and there was still no news about her. He wanted to question if they're doing their job on saving Princess, but he stopped himself from doing so. He dragged himself towards an empty seat and sat himself down

"Any information about her?" Steph asked, sitting himself next to Bradley

"No.. Not yet. It's been two hours since I brought her here, and none of those bozos know anything about her," Bradley said, glancing at the front desk

Steph looked at him worryingly, placing a hand on his back, "Look, I'm sure they are doing everything in their power to save her."

"Well, it seems like they're not doing enough..!" Bradley blurted out, and a couple sitting a few inches away looked at him. Steph sighed slightly, "Calm down... You're gonna scare other people."

Bradley pushed his hand away and dropped his head down, calming himself down as he took a deep breath and let go, feeling a bit better, but he was still anxious

He wants Max

He needs Max

He needs his comfort and his reassurance..

He needs all of him

But he's not here

Bradley was about to ask Step for his phone again until he heard his name being called

"Mr. Uppercrust?" The nurse looked around

"That's me..!" Bradley quickly stood up, walking over to the nurse with Steph behind him

"H-how is she? Is she okay?" Bradley asked, his heart beating rapidly

The nurses eyes looked to the side, holding the clipboard close to her chest, "I'm sorry.."

In that moment, the world around him felt like it had stopped. He felt his heart stop at those two words from the nurse. He should've known.. No, he knew that she wouldn't make it. But, yet.. It seemed impossible that she could still be alive. Two pairs of arms cradled him, and he hid his face into Steph's chest for comfort as he shut his eyes tightly

The cold breeze came and hit the two bodies, and when Bradley picked his head up, he spotted Max and his two friends right beside him. Bradley let go of Steph and ran towards Max, letting out all the tears that he was building up to bottle but failed as he saw the sight of his partner. He sobbed into his shoulder, and Max wrapped his arms around him

"She's gone, Max..! She's gone..!!" Bradley cried out. He felt Max's arms tighten around him, comforting the other male. He didn't say anything.. What else could he have said? Nothing can be fine. Nothing will be okay

Max glanced at P.J. who only frowned sadly at the news and the sight of Bradley breaking down, and Bobby.. Had that look in his eye that let Max know that he now has to take care of Bradley. He needs Max more than ever right now, and that only made Max's heart drop. He looked back at Bradley and placed a kiss on his head. He now knows that he can never leave Bradley alone. Not for a long while.. And he's now stuck in this situation

He let out a light sigh, and he looked up and stared at the other male who was holding Bradley when he walked in. He noticed how similar Max and him looked like. The male only stared at the two, his hands clenching tightly, and Max only glared at him, pulling Bradley close as he could. Two different feelings, and only one remained the whole entire ride home
