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

Chapter 19

It's a Saturday and I'm laying on my bed , staring at the ceiling. 

Fun right?

I sigh being bored and try to think of things to do .

 Its been a little over a week since Max left finally,but I kinda miss bickering with him even though I let everything else go. Jamie hasn't been blowing up my phone,but her minions have. They've texted me threatening to embarrass or swearing to ruin me. They send me pictures of me at the worst moments caught at the perfect time for them. Why can't I just get away from all of this? They tell me all these flaws that I know that I already have and don't need to be reminded of. I try not to let it get to me,cause usually I'm not a person to be self conscious,but that's how they make me feel sometimes. I've tried cutting them out ,I've almost blocked all the numbers they get to me on , I've told the principal about what they do,but the just put on their innocent and pretty faces to avoid punishment .

I decide to go to the park,maybe swing and explore a little. I need to get away from the stress of finals and being depressed .

I tell my mom where I'm going and then leave grabbing a hoodie. I skip down the side walk,thinking about how this life can be a roller coaster,but what is confusing me is the downs. When you go down on a roller coaster it's supposed to be thrilling and fun,while going up gets you anxious for the drop. Well I'm not excited or having fun at all.
Then It's sometimes painful when you hear your friends talk about their  minute problems with their families,at least they have two parents who are there for you 24/7.
My mom doesn't make dinner anymore unless Max is there,or she just either goes to work or sits home and drinks.
I'm the one who takes care of the house,cleaning,dishes,organization,and sometimes dinner.

Moving on to another subject...

After telling Max the dumb problem I had with that party,he finally tried to understand . He doesn't poke at me every second of the day ,but he's there to definitely embarrass and drive me crazy.

I start walking towards the coffee shop and I see Max with his brother. I put the hood of my hoodie over my head and pull it trying to cover my face, I could turn around and go the long way,but I'm the one to take the easy way out..I hurried past hoping that he wouldn't think that it's me or suspect that it is.

"Kat-Nip!"

Well my hopes failed.

I keep walking,pretending to not hear him. I hear his footsteps get closer to me and then he starts walking up beside me and then he stops in front of me.

He gets close to my face and pull the hood back revealing my face.
He smiles adorably and I look down at my feet.
His sea eyes are caring and concerned as they look into mine "what's wrong Kat-Nip?" I shrug "well I WAS going to the park alone " I emphasize .He softly chuckles and puts his arm around me, I hesitate to allow him,but I guess I could let it slide for today. "Your still a little salty today ,Kat-Nip" he says to me with a smirk , I roll my eyes " and your still a pain in my ass " I shoot back,he grins at me and I can not help but blush at his amusement.

We arrive at the park and we walk towards the swings , I sprint towards one and plop on it. Max catches up and I raise an eyebrow "did you abandon your brother?" he shrugs and waves his hand nonchalantly "he'll be fine he's a big boy". I start rocking my self back and fourth,trying to gain momentum,until I feel Max's large hands push up against my back and pushing me forward .I let him do so as it means for me that I don't have to do any work.

He sighs loudly "So what's on your mind Kat-Nip" "nothing",he gives a me a weird look as if I'm crazy "there's gotta be something,or I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be here. " I shrug at him ,still not telling what's on my mind. "Kat I think I know you pretty well since you have lived with me for two weeks counting your place and I know that you just didn't come here to get rid of your boredom. I know you came here to over think and try to relax your stress and get those cruel and untrue critics out of your head. Don't let them get you Kat-Nip ,your beautiful even though you don't know it,your perfect. They're just jealous that your not like them and that I'm yours ".

Man can he like see the future or something,damn cause he hit the nail straight on the head.

I sigh "it's just getting hard because my mom isn't who she used to be since my dad died,and I'm just depressed and stressed,so I guess you hit the nail straight on." he hums " I guess I did". I continue swinging,letting the air brush against my face and my hair fly and become messy,Max moved on to another swing almost reaching the same height as me.

After a while I slowed to a stop,as did Max,"hey you want to go do something fun?" I shrugged "I don't care ". Max chuckled "come on let's go see a movie or something " "but you don't have a car" I say,then Max says "I have a drivers license,I can probably borrow Luka's". I raise an eyebrow "why don't you drive to school and why haven't you gotten a car" Max shrugged "I don't know, lazy?".

We walk to back to Max's house to find a childish Luka crossing his arms and pouting. 
 

"You left me! what the hell?,Little bro" "I'm sorry,but I had too, big bro".

I pinch the bridge pf my nose and laugh "You guys are so gay" they both look at me with the most confused but offended look. I couldn't help but feel all giddy inside when I saw Max's look,he looked adorable with that expression. 

"Anyways,me and Kat-Nip want to go to a movie can we please borrow your  car" Luka shakes his head "Nope" Max then begs "Please,you can use my money to buy that x-box game that you wanted" Luka rolls his eyes and groans "fine,here are the keys". 

I walk up the stairs and Max leads me up to his room.

His room was pretty tidy,minus a couple shirts and socks laying on the floor,but his bed was made and baseball cards and figures were organized on shelves. His walls were painted grey and posted with wall papers of bands and movie saga's. He had a window that lit the room with damp warm light,his room scented of cologne and bad boy.

"I'm going to take a quick shower,how about you pick out a movie to go see Kat-Nip" Max offers to me as he starts walking towards his full bathroom. I nod and he closes the door,I hear the water start running and I plop on his bed. I look up at the ceiling and smirked at the poster above. Of course a teenage boy's room wouldn't be complete,without a poster of a hot,sexy,and half naked girl.

I looked on my phone for any movies that we could see in our area. let me just say sometimes when you live Iowa you can't always find the best places to go to a movie without being interrupted or getting sick from the beverages. 

I searched for comedy movies,but they were all filthy. I then looked for drama or some like interesting movies of course there,were none. Then I decide to search for horror movies, I clicked on 'A Nightmare's Reality' and seemed to be pretty good movie for a trailer,I like movies that look real and not fake. 

As I was doing some more scrolling looking for movies,Max's door opened and I swear some greek god of hot bodies walked out replacing him. He was just wearing a towel ,his back was gorgeous every muscle rippling and full of caramel color,abs dented perfectly into his abdomen. His wet blonde hair was slicked back and his sea green eyes were mesmerizing with his long eye lashes framing them and his freckles dancing across his nose and a smug perfect smile growing upwards.

I then say my thoughts out loud "Damn you should be shirtless and smile more often . Cause you got it working for ya" amusement twinkles in his waving eyes "You wanna stop gawking now" then it dawns on what I just said, I smack my self in the head and cover my face in embarrassment. My face is hot with humiliation ,my eyes are squeezed shut and my teeth are tight. I can't believe that I just said that,out loud to, Max probably thinks of me like some kind of creeper girl he feels sorry for.

I peak out my fingers and see that Max has changed into a cut-off black t-shirt that tints his muscles and hugs his figure and sport shorts. I then exhale in relief and uncover my heated face and then Max repeats to me "okay can you focus? What movie are we seeing?" "sorry,um what about 'A Nightmare's Reality' its a horror movie and it looks pretty good" Max raises an eyebrow "are you sure,Blake took his girl to that and she broke up with him because of how it scared her shitless " I nod assuring him I didn't want him to think I'm some wimp or baby like Jade Blake's girl who was a girly and cry girl. He shrugs and  then follow him out to the car.

Max starts the engine and the car roars to life,along with the radio blaring at ear-busting sound. I grab my ears and then Max quickly turns down the radio "sorry,Luka likes to have loud music sometimes" a hint of pink in his round cheeks. I smile forgivingly and listen into the radio,my favorite song was playing. "wait turn it up again,not drastically loud though" he turns it up and I start lip-sinking along with it,and eventually Max does as well.
