Never Let Go

Chapter 3: Brotherly Love

March 30th

Max's POV

It's been almost a week since my birthday. Patrick has been distant to everyone. I walk up to Patricks office and knock. "Come on in," Patrick says. I open the door and close it. "Why have you been acting distant? Everyone in the office is worried about you," I say. He looks at me then his computer. He ignores the question. "Seriously? What is wrong Patrick," I say walking to Patrick putting my hand on his shoulder. He puts his head down then looks up at me. "I'm just dealing with something," Patrick says getting up. "Like?" I ask. "I have fallen for somebody but I don't know what they think about me and I don't wanna ruin a friendship," Patrick says looking past my shoulder. His eyes began to sparkle. "Who?" I ask. "I can't say. I can't say the name," Patrick says sitting back in his chair and looking at his computer. "Look at me," I say. He spins around and looks at me. I crouch down to his level and begin to smile. "What?" Patrick asks curiously. I put my hand on his face. I lean in as he does the same. I close my eyes and kiss Patrick. He kisses back as we make out for what felt like eternity but stopped so we could catch our breaths. Patrick looks at me and smiles. I stand up straight and walk out. I walk into my room and close the door as I begin to realize what happened. I sit down on my chair and begin to record a Minecraft Let's Play with Ax, Holly, and Marie.

Patrick's POV

I walk to my PO box as I check my mail. Most of it was fan-art but I got a application. Not one but two. I walk back to my office and walk in. One of the applications was from Maarten, his channel name was minecraft mangle and he was 22 years old. The other one was from Tiara, her channel name was PrettyGirl_TT and she was 20 years old. I called them for their interviews and after that I went to Holly's office. I walk in and close the door behind me. "Holly!" I say in a excited tone. "Yes?" she says. "You'll never believe what happened earlier!" I say. "What!?" Holly asks excitedly. "Max kissed me," I say with joy. "That is GREAT!" Holly shouts out smiling. "I know. I'm about to go talk to him but I need to tell you something," I say, getting ready to tell Holly about the 2 new applications. "Yes?" Holly says.

Max's POV

Ander walks into my room closing the door behind. "Hey!" Ander says walking to me. "Hi," I say. He stands right next to me as I begin to push my chair back. "What are you doing Ander?" I ask. He jumps on to me as he tries to kiss me. "Ander STOP!" I scream out putting my hand on his face. He pulls my hands away as he puts his left hand up my shirt. "STOP! Ander you're cra..." I say getting interrupted with Ander kissing me. He kept kissing as I tried to pull away. Patrick walks in with Ander still kissing me. I look at him and see hurt in his eyes. I throw Ander off of me and run to Patrick who was crying. Patrick ran off before I got to him. "ANDER! Why did you do that!?" I scream out starting a scene. Holly and Ax were by my room. "Because you're mine," Ander says smiling. "NO YOU'RE NOT!" I scream out leaving. I walk passed Holly and Ax. So much anger filled my body. Patrick probably hates me now! I storm out of the building as I begin to cry. I sit on the bench outside of the building as I begin to punch myself on the head. STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! I scream in my head. The tears continue to pour out. I hear the door open as I see Holly come out. She walks toward the bench and sits by me as she puts her left arm around me, pulling me in for a hug. I cry onto her shoulder. "Max?" Holly says. I move my head to face her. "Yes?" I say wiping the tears off my face. "Patrick loved you. He came to me the day you got here! He was afraid to tell you. He is probably upset right now and it is probably best if you don't talk to him as of right now. It can make the situation worse," Holly says. I begin to cry. He loved me the first day I was here! So did I. I shake my head as I walk back into the office.

Patrick's POV

The only thing I can see is Ander kissing Max. I storm into my apartment and slam the door. I throw my phone onto the floor. I was filled with anger and sadness. I walk into the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror. I see tears running down my face. I begin to think of Max and how he kissed me... it was perfect. He was perfect but he then had to betray me! "Corey! I can't do it anymore. I let someone into my life and they hurt me JUST... LIKE THAT! I'm done living, I'm done breathing, I'M DONE HURTING! I just want it all to end... and the only way to end it is to... end me!" I scream out heartbroken. I begin to think of how my subscribers would react. A lot of them were young and probably don't understand death. I walk back to the living room and pick up my phone. I go to camera and press record. "Hey guys! Turtle here..." I say holding in my tears. "And I wanted to let you guys know that I'm going to go on a LONG break!" I say breaking into tears. "Just know that I love everyone of you and all of you ROCK! But I need to take a break. So bye," I say sobbing out loudly. I end the recording and post it on YouTube.

Max's POV

I sit on my chair as I decide whether or not to message Patrick. I pick up my phone and message Patrick asking if we can talk. "MAX!" Holly screams out running into my room in tears. "Yeah," I say looking up. "Did you see Patrick's video?" Holly says getting onto my computer and going to Patrick's channel. "No," I say as she pulls up a video. "Hey guys! Turtle here..." Patrick says. I can see him holding in tears. "And I wanted to let you guys know that I'm going to go on a LONG break!" Patrick says breaking into tears. "Just know that I love everyone of you and all of you ROCK! But I need to take a break. So bye," Patrick says sobbing out loudly. The video ended. I begin to cry. "How long has this been uploaded?" I ask. "20 minutes ago," Holly says. I jump up from my chair and run out. I run through the building and out. I run as fast as I could to Patrick's apartment. I run up the stairs and knock loudly. "Patrick! Answer the door NOW!" I scream out. I grab the door knob as the door was unlocked. I run in and begin to search his apartment. "Patrick!? Where the hell are you?" I yell out. I see that the bathroom door is closed. I walk up to it and go to open it but noticed it was locked. I bang on the door screaming and crying. I begin to run into it and eventually break it open. I see Patrick lying on the floor with a bottle of medicine on the floor next to him. The bottle was empty. I get on the ground and begin to shake Patrick. "NO!!!! WHAT DID YOU DO!?" I scream out crying. I get my phone and type 911 but have trouble with my hands shaking so bad. "911 what's your emergency?" the lady asks. "My friend took a bunch of pills in a attempt of suicide and is not responding!" I scream out. "What's your address?" the lady asks in a worried voice. "531 Vine St. Apt. 2 Crestis, Colorado!" I scream out. "Help is on the way," the lady says hanging up. I throw my phone on the floor. "Please wake up Patrick!" I scream. I fall back onto the the floor crying. I look back at him. "Please!" I scream kissing him. I begin to hear sirens.

2 Hour's Later In Max's POV

I sit on the uncomfortable hospital chair waiting to hear Patrick's results. "MAX!" Holly screams out pacing towards me. I see Ax, Marie, and Ander walking with her. I jump up and hug Holly. "Any news?" Holly asks worried. "No," I say. "What happened when you got there?" Holly asked. "The bathroom door was locked so I broke it and found Patrick lying on the ground next to a empty bottle of pills. He was unresponsive!" I say holding in tears. Holly covers her mouth as she sits down on the chair I was sitting on. Everyone was in shock except Ander. Ander had a grin on his face. "Deserved it," Ander says. Anger and hatred for him grew. I pounce on Ander as I swing at him. "You're the reason he is in here!" I scream out sobbing hard. Marie and Ax pulls me off of him. "Fuck off. He did it to his own self," Ander says getting up. I run at Ander as I push him on the floor. "Why did he try to kill himself?" Ax asks. "I like Patrick and Patrick liked me but Ander fucking ruined it!" I respond. I kick Ander on the side of his stomach. "Come near me and I'll make sure you'll be back here. You're dead to me and I wish I was NEVER your brother because your a Fuck Up!" I say spitting on Ander. Ander gets up and walks away. "Max. You need to chill! Go home and rest," Holly suggests. "No, I can't leave him here alone!" I say. "Well stay here. Go home," Holly demands. "No! I'm staying here!" I shout, sitting in a nearby chair. A doctor with a clipboard comes out. "Who is the one that called in the emergency?" the doctor asked. "I did," I say. "Can I speak to you alone?" the doctor asked. I get up and follow the doctor. We stop in the middle of the hallway. "Patrick is awake and is aware of everything. Luckily it wasn't a strong medicine. He took about 15 pills, but he is going to stay here for a week or two until he feels better! Then when we discharge him, you are going to need to pay big attention to him. If you feel he is going to commit suicide again, admit him to Asheville Mental Hospital," the doctor hands me a card to the mental hospital. "Thanks," I say. "The patient has requested to see you and only you. I can show you the way," the doctor says. "Please," I say. The doctor shows me the way to the room. We reach the room and immediately lets me in. I slowly walk in as I see the hospital bed. "Max?" I hear Patrick say. I walk to the side of the bed and sit down, starring at him. "I don't like Ander. He is obsessed with me. He attacked me when you walked in. I didn't intentionally kiss him. I'm in love with you Patrick! Holly was the one that showed me the YouTube and I ran to your house to find you unconscious. I thought you were dead.... I thought you left me! Please be mine again?" I say crying. "Yes," Patrick says smiling. I kiss Patrick passionately as he does the same.
