Before it's too late to Save Me (Completed)

Chapter 13

I wake up to hard pounding and Max's muffled voice pleading me to get up. I look at the clock and I see I only have an hour to get ready.

What? it takes me like 15 minutes to pick out an outfit,then I gotta do my makeup which takes another 15 minutes,of course I have to do my hair which takes another 20 minutes,only leaving me 10 minutes to eat and grab my book bag and head out the door.

I throw on slightly ripped jeans a cute hoodie and converse. I then make my way down stairs to the dinning room and the filling smell of rich cinnamon, hash browns and warm eggs fill the air. I see Max sitting at the breakfast bar pecking at his breakfast. I sit down beside him and Mrs.Penny slides me a plate full . I smile warmly at her and thank her.

After breakfast I head back up stairs and brush my teeth ,then I fluff my hair for a more messy volume. I then walk back out of the bathroom and Max is standing there waiting for me with his leg cocked impatiently. I raise and eyebrow "what?" I ask dryly, he shakes his head and snickers "you take for ever,we should of started walking to school a minute ago." I pout and imitate a fake tear,he rolls his eyes at me. I giggle and pull him to the door. "Let's go ,cry baby " I coo to him , " I prefer babe matter of factly " I roll my eyes "I'm never calling you that,ever,period ." we walk out of the house and start taking the way to school.

Max and I walk into school and the whole student body stares at us and whispers. I separate from Max and rush to my locker, I didn't want rumors of Max and I douchen it out together or that we were dating lies spreading like wildfire.We were just friends.

Just friends.

Throughout the school day random people that I had never seen,met nor talked to asked me about Max and I.They had no reason to stick their noses into our business,there was nothing going on between us. I wish people would shut their fucking trap holes that way I don't get my hair pulled out by Jamie and Lacie,yet of course that's not the case.

After the day drags to a final end I race out of school ,trying to avoid Jamie and Lacie. I kinda wanted to avoid Max to,but that wouldn't be easy,that know I kind of live with him .
As I walk to Max's house, I stop at mine to take care of the cat and check on things. Everything seemed in place and the cat was fine. Before I walked out , a picture of my father caught my eye.
It was a picture on his motorcycle,that he crashed on. In the picture he had his brilliant smile,those intriguing green eyes and strong jaw. My father was a good looking man ,that had a lot to give and live for,but lost it all.
We've abandoned some of the things that he had started or we have given up to someone else. I hate doing it, I know my mom feels horrible,but we can't carry on that without him. He started all of it and we didn't know how to finish it.
I miss him,every day feels empty and really pointless without him.
After staring at the picture for a while and tearing up. Finally I managed to pull away and continue my way to Max's house down the block.

I walked in and it seemed as if no one was home, I knew that Max's parents were still gone at work,but I thought him or his brother would of been here.
I then walk upstairs and into the bedroom,I throw my stuff down and plop on the bed and deeply exhale. "Aww there she is" Luka says to me with a mysterious smile on his face, I look at him "what?". Then he explains "Max is looking for you, he didn't see you walking home and he actually just went back to check the coffee shop too" I chuckle "ahh that boy, is ridiculous ", Luka nods and hums at me and then disappears.
I then occupy myself with my phone,going through Pinterest and what else for a hour or so. Then I hear the door down stairs slam and I assume Max is home. My door is shut and I hear footsteps travel to Luka's room, I hear muffled voices outside my closed door.
Then Max barges into my room, and he says with relief "God there you are,I have been all over the world looking for your ass" I laugh "my ass has been here the whole time". "You suck" Max complains I then shoot back at him "you swallow " "I walked into that one" Max admits , I laugh and nod "sure did,Prince charming ". "Why didn't you wait for me ?" Max then asks me, I gulp "umm, I needed to feed my cat",this seems to convince Max from the truth. I didn't want to lie to him,but he would say all those things,that are all emotional and caring and more stuff and I'm trying to close all my emotions and things like that locked away,so I kinda had to lie to him.
Max walks over and sits next to me. Grabs my arm,turns it over and examines it. "I see you haven't been cutting yourself,that's good " he says in a sincere tone, I pull away "I haven't been cutting myself anyways,those are from my cat dummy " still sticking to his idea Max then asks "why do you cut yourself anyways ?" I explain " I've only cut myself once and the reason is because of stress sadness and the bullying I go through. Stress comes from school and taking care of my mom, my sadness and depression comes from the death of my father,finally the bullying is because of you". I see something in Max's eyes change as if I hit some kind of deep spot ,then he says "I hate being who I am" I give him a confused look "why?" he sighs "because I'm the 'hot' or the 'Prince charming ' of the school. I hate it,cause people automatically judge me to be a fuckboy or some arrogant douche bag,then girls just want me to brag on or make love. I don't want to be that boy, I want to be normal and not be labeled. That when I saw you and how you treated all the guys I knew you were different. When I talked to you, I knew that you weren't interested in me or judge me on my appearance,which I appreciate by the way" Max adds to his explanation. I have no words to give to Max for this, the words had been taken out of my mouth as we sat there staring into each other's eyes,the opportunity to kiss me smack dab in the face as it falls silent.
