Chapter Ten

CHAPTER TEN

Max' PoV

'I love you too.' As I said those words, Jessie turned around on her heels and stared at me in disbelief. 'M-M-Max?' she stuttered. 'I love you, Jessica,' I said again and added a goofy smile. 'I thought you died!' she shouted! Suddenly men guarded with cameras busted through the door. 'Ugh no, just to make this whole situation better: paps!' she shouted. 'No babe! YOU JUST GOT PUNK'D!' I yelled and jumped out of bed laughing. 'What!?' 'You just got punk'd babe!' I laughed and lifted her up. 'B-b-but... you got shot and... you died and... IT WAS ALL A JOKE!' She yelled and smacked my head. 'Never scare me like that again,' she whispered in my ear. 'No I won't, oh and please congratulate our actors; George and.... Holly!' George and Holly entered the room, crying of laughter. 'All of you are so mean! I honestly thought you died!' she said. 'I know, I'm a great actor,' I said and winked. 'Wait... that means you could hear everything I've said.' 'Yeah, I did. And I loved it,' I said and pulled her in for a hug. I squeezed her tightly and she rested her chin on my shoulder. 'I was so scared,' she whispered. 'I know, but I'm here. And I'm safely in your arms,' I whispered back. 'I do mean what I said babe,' she whispered again. 'I know you did... And I love you too babe,' I whispered and pulled away.

~ 8 months later ~

It has been eight months since the 'accident'; almost a year since I met Jessie. She had shaved her head for charity, Red Nose Day, about a month ago, and I can honestly say I'm so proud of her. We went on holiday a week ago; I returned Sunday, it was GREAT. It was Jessie and her whole gang, it was really lovely. Jessie returned to the studio to write with Claude Kelly, and I am so excited for the next album! I haven't heard it yet, but I did hear Jessie sing some songs in the shower... But I know it's going to be amazing. I mean, as long as it's hers it's amazing! I grabbed my keys and bag and was ready to leave for the gym when my phone rang. George. 'Whadup mate?' I asked as I picked up the phone. 'Hey Max,' he said, but somehow he sounded nervous. 'What's up?' 'I've got a date tonight...' 'Oh, nice. But why do I need to know?' 'I need your help.' 'What for?' I asked. 'Well, seeing as you're a girl...' 'Last time I checked I was, so, why do you need my help?' 'Do you check that? Ew, no, I don't want any details, but just to get to the point; I don't know what to wear.' 'You don't know what to wear... Is that possible?' 'It is. And there's something else you need to know,' he said awkwardly. 'What is it? You can tell me anything.' 'Well err... I've got a date with Adam?' he rambled. 'Adam? Adam as in your mate Adam?' 'Yeah...' 'Join the club of the rainbows mate, and I'll be over in five,' I said laughing an hung up. Who would have ever thought George was gay? Or well, bi, I don't know. But I do know it was definitely not what I expected, but of course I was fine with it; why wouldn't he be allowed to be gay? That would be ridiculous. I quickly texted Jessie. *Hey baby, I miss you :(. Hope to see you soon! Please call me as soon as you read this... But I'll be at the gym so I don't know if I can get it. You know what, I will call you later, okay? And I just wanted to let you know that I love you babe. Max* I grabbed my keys and ran out of the door, stepped in my car and drove to George. Yeah maybe I should've told you before, but I moved in with Jess... Her house is so amazing, really, it's great. I love it. George is still living in our old apartment. I parked the car and opened the door to George's apartment. 'George, your saviour had arrived!' I yelled as I entered. I heard his laugh coming from upstairs. I ran upstairs and walked into the bedroom, where he was sitting on the bed surrounded by clothes. 'Help me!' he groaned. 'Okay, here, pull this on... with this shirt and err... your white Nikes?' I said as I chucked some clothes. 'That was easy, now hurry up.' 'Thank you!' He shouted as I left the room. I went back downstairs and sat down on the sofa. I checked my phone; new text message! I quickly opened it. *I love your silly text babe! Hahaha! I miss you too... :(. I hope to get your call soon, I'll be here waiting :) X J PS. I love you.* I laughed out loud, especially at the 'PS. I love you'-part. She knows I hate those romantic films, I prefer horror. George ran downstairs.

'Where are my Nikes!?' He yelled in frustration. I eyed him up and down and burst out in laughter. 'It's not funny!' He protested. 'I-i-it is! L-l-look!' I said and pointed at his feet. 'Oh. Found 'em!' He said happily and ran back upstairs. I looked back at me phone screen and saw I had received another text, from Maya. *Hey, I just wanted to let you know I landed safely :). Maybe we can meet up soon? X M.* *Yeah, that'd be cool. I'm hitting the gym in twenty, so what about dinner at 9?* *Sounds great, i'll pick you up at 8.45. X* Okay, dinner with Maya tonight. 'George, I'm hitting the gym. Good luck with your date tonight!' I yelled. 'Thanks, and I'll see you around!' 'Bye!' I shouted and exited the house.

I came home, dumped my bag in our bedroom and took a shower. I decided to pull on skinny jeans and long-sleeved plaid back shirt, we were probably hitting Nando's or MacDonald's, knowing Maya. I heard a car horn outside so I grabbed my phone and wallet and left. I got in Maya's car and greeted her with a kiss on her cheek. 'You look fabulous gurl!' I said in a not so bad attempt of her American accent. 'Thanks, so do you,' she said and smiled. 'Where are we going?' 'NANDO'S!' Told you so. She parked the car and we walked into Nando's. We sat down at a table and both ordered coke. I decided to go with Peri-Peri chicken and Maya too; she always orders the same. As we finished eating we caught up. I told her about me and Jessie and about everything going so well. Her news actually was bad news; she broke up with Brad. 'Why'd you broke up with him?' I asked. 'I realized I wasn't in love with him.' This shocked me, they always seemed so crazy in love! 'You wasn't in love with him? You were engaged to him!' 'I know, it was a mistake. I should've told him, I let it go too far. I shouldn't have taken him as a cover.' 'A cover? What are you talking about?' I wanted to place my hand on top of hers, but she quickly pulled her hand away. 'Don't make this harder,' she said as a tear escaped her eyes. 'Just tell me what you mean!' I said getting more annoyed by the second. 'Never mind, it's too late,' she said and stood up. 'Where are you going?' 'Away.' She walked out of the store. I quickly placed some money down the table and ran after her. As we were outside I grabbed her wrist and turned her around. 'What are you talking about? What is it too late for?' I looked into her tear-filled eyes. 'I love you,' she whispered. 'You know that I love you too,' I spoke softly. 'No you don't. Not in that way. I love-love you,' she whispered. I quickly let go of her. 'You what?' I exclaimed. 'Please don't go,' Maya begged me. 'Why would I go? I need an explication!' 'Well, there's not much to explain is there?' She said. 'Why?' I asked. 'I just love you, you love Jessie, Jessie loves you. It's very easy; I know you won't break up with her for me,' she whispered. 'Well you got that right,' I said and crossed my arms. 'But I do think you need to know all of your options,' she said. I stopped staring at my feet and looked into her eyes. 'What do you mean?' I asked. She leaned in and pressed her lips onto mine. I stood there for a few moments, in shock, but than I heard the sound of a snap and I pushed her away. 'What was that?' I asked her furiously. 'Your second option,' she said and ran away. I quickly turned around and nearly bumped into a girl with her phone out. 'Sorry,' I said. 'Hey, aren't you Jessie J's friend?' she asked. I hesitated for a moment but nodded. 'Who's that girl?' 'My friend.' 'So she isn't your girlfriend?' 'No! Didn't you see I pushed her away?' I asked. I am still annoyed because of Maya. 'Are you serious?' she asked and her eyes widened. 'Yeah, why wouldn't I be?' 'Fuck,' the girl spoke and closed her eyes. 'What?' 'I tweeted Jessie the pic,' she said. 'You what!?' I exclaimed. 'Hey, don't worry, she's barely online, there is a 99% chance she doesn't even see it. And why is it such a big deal if she sees it?' the girl asked. 'She's my best friend, I'm sure she'd like to hear it from me if I had someone and not by someone of Twitter.' I just made that up. 'And I'm sorry, but I do have to go now. Bye,' I said and quickly walked past her. As I ran home my phone rang. I quickly picked it up and entered the house. 'Max?' 'Jessie.' I grumpy voice on the other side said. Fuck. Jessie saw the picture…
