BIZARRE

MAX'S POV

Woke up from the loud banging coming from the room next door.

"Ughhh! It's too early for some shit like that", i screamed at the top of my lungs as i jumped out of bed.

I checked my phone and saw i woke up an hour early than i should but i went down anyway to prepare food for the idiots i'm living with, but to my surprise my favorite curly-haired boy was already making lunch.

"Tommo", he said as he point his finger towards the stairs and sounding a bit defensive.

"Of course. I didn't thought it was you, tho. Jeez! Don't be defensive", i teased as I plopped down on the chair reaching for the hotdog. He giggled as he walked towards me planting a kiss on my forehead.

"Eat well, love. You'll need that today. I also prepared packed dinner for us later", he stated as he pour orange juice in my glass.

"Oh God! I am fucking excited!", i said sarcastically as I took a bite of my hotdog.

"Don't be a douche, Max. You'll love it there. You know everyone. It'll be easy. Go finish your food and get ready. We'll leave in 3 hours", he said as he reached out for his phone.

I will be working in this huge casino where Harry has been working for almost a year now. When one of the dealers resigned, he talked to the manager asking if I could just replace the one who left which the manager immediately agreed on. I was actually hanging out most of the nights there for a month now because Harry asked me to, everytime I would be left alone in the apartment, and because of that I already met everyone in the casino, even their managers and all. They are all very nice and friendly which makes me fairly excited about working there.

"Go get ready. You don't wanna be late on your first day, right? Don't put make-up. The casino provides an amazing make-up artist and I know how much you suck with make-ups" he teased making me run after him.

He fell on the way up and I laughed so hard as I run immediately upstairs to get ready. To be honest I am fucking nervous. This will be my first day and i hate first days. I really hope I'll nail this job. I don't want to disappoint Harry and I seriously need to help the boys pay our bills. I don't wanna be a pain in the ass anymore.

I skipped to my room and as soon as i got in, i immediately rushed to my closet pulling out ripped skinny jeans and a plain black tee and grabbed my white converse. The casino provides uniforms for employees and I'll be getting mine there.

After picking out an outfit to wear, I rushed to the bathroom and took a bath. After taking a bath, I sat down on the corner of the bed reminiscing the old times...

My mom, dad and older brother died in a car crash 2 years ago. I was in the car with them when the accident happened and it is a miracle that I'm still alive. I got few wounds and cuts from it but nothing major. I really wish i just died with them. But since I was the only one left alive, i believe i have a purpose here on Earth. That might sound creepy or whatever but i really think I have something left to do. Anyway, we are a picture of a perfect family. Barbecue every Saturdays. Karaoke nights during Fridays. Church every Sundays. But my life completely changed after the accident, making the boys feel obliged to take care of me. We've been friends since I can remember. My parents treat Zayn, Louis and Harry as family and vice versa. Zayn and Louis are cousins but they are completely different. Zayn is the anti-social, silent-mysterious type while Louis is the loud and very much careless one which leaves Harry with the responsibility of getting everything organized. He balance everything. Zayn is a barista in a coffee shop and Louis pretty much works in the bar as a bartender. That's where he gets all the girls he takes home at midnight. They wanted me to continue my studies and they said they will work double for it, but I told them I don't want to and I just wanted to work. They are the bestest ever, really! But, I don't wanna be a burden to anyone. All the things that happened made me stronger. The boys never saw me shed a tear again after my family's burial. I promise myself that I will carry on and be the strongest girl anyone can be.
