Never Let Go

Chapter 7: SkyMedia Offices

May 16th

Max's POV

I slowly begin to open my eyes to hear the early morning birds chirping. I stretch my body and turn myself to notice that Patrick wasn't in bed. I sit up as I rub my eyes. "Patrick?" I whisper. I take the covers off of me and notice that my clothes from last night was not on the floor but Patrick's was. So I decided to throw on Patrick's clothes, since they didn't stink. "Patrick?" I ask again as I pull the shirt down. I walk out of my room to smell food. I begin to make my way to the kitchen and as I enter the kitchen, I notice Patrick cooking. I walk up to him and kiss him. "Morning beautiful," Patrick says. "Morning," I say taking a seat in the dining room. "I made us eggs and toast!" Patrick says, smiling as he makes his way over to the table with a plate of food. "So when do we have to be at the airport?" I ask, dreading the answer. "10:00. So we have 2 hours to eat and get ready!" Patrick says, grabbing a piece of toast. "You need to go to your house, don't you?" I ask. Patrick finishes chewing his bite from the toast. "Yeah. I'm gonna head home and just meet you there. Okay?" Patrick asks. "Yeah," I answer, taking a sip of orange juice. After we finished eating, Patrick left and I had begun to get ready. 

8:00 PM In Max's POV

"Welcome to Seattle, Washington!" I hear as we leave the airport. "That took a long time in the airport!" I say. "Yeah, especially the plane ride!" Patrick grunts out. "So what do we do know?" I ask sitting down on a bench outside, sitting my luggage next to me. "Chris said that his sister could take us in for the few nights we are here!" Patrick says, looking around the area. "Oh okay," I respond. "Yeah and apparently she walks at SkyMedia Office's," Patrick says. "That's cool! What's her...." I say getting interrupted by a car honk. "She's here," Patrick says. I grab my luggage as we walk to the car. We walk to the trunk as it opens. Me and Patrick sit our luggage inside. "I'm going to sit up front. Okay?" Patrick says. "Okay," I say, giving Patrick a peck on his cheek. Patrick gets in the car and closes the door as I close the trunk. I step into the car and automatically start smelling fresh apples. "Hi! Nice to meet you! My name is Jess but my YouTube name is Aphmau and if I'm right you're iTurtle aka Patrick," Aphmau says then turns back and looks at me, "and you're Sebthan_ aka Max. Correct?" I look at Jess and smile. "Yeah," I say. "Okay. Chris only told me that you needed a place to stay for a few days and that I can trust you. So why are you so far out here?" Jess asks. "Got business to take care of and the business is at SkyMedia Office's," Patrick says. Jess pulls out of the airport. "We'll I'm glad to meet you! I think you make some really good content!" Jess says in a cheerful but calm tone. "Thanks," Patrick says. "So you and Max are good friends, huh?" Patrick asks. I widen my eyes as to what Patrick would say. "Ha. He's actually my boyfriend," Patrick says. "Really? Wouldn't of expected it," Jess says, stopping at a red light. "Well we haven't said anything to the fans yet but they ship us hardcore," I say, feeling outside of the conversation. "We have a gay couple as well and haven't said anything but plan on doing so," Jess says. "Cool," I say. "So I'm going to be taking you to the office tomorrow morning and I'm going to take you to Adam. He is the owner of the office and he'll need to see you. By the way, nobody knows you're coming," Jess says, giggling. The rest of the ride was Jess talking about how the office works and all of that stuff. Jess unlocks her door to her modern house. Me and Patrick walk in as Jess closes the door and locks it. "So if you follow me, I will show you the way to your guys room!" Jess says. "Okay," Patrick says as we follow Jess. Eventually Jess stops outside a door and opens it. "Here you go. I'll leave you guys alone for the night. Just make sure to set your phones to wake up at 7 in the morning, okay?" Jess says. "Yeah," I say. "By the way, you have a bathroom in the room with a shower," Jess says walking away. We walk into the room, dragging our luggage in. Patrick closes the door as I sit on the bed. "Finally! We are by ourselves," I say, falling back onto the bed. "Yeah. I know what you mean!" Patrick says, laying next to me. "I don't know about you but I am going to take a shower!" Patrick says, "wanna join?" I turn my head to Patrick to see if he was serious. "This isn't our home. Won't it be weird to do that in another persons home?" I ask. "I don't think she'll care. It's not like we are having sex or anything," Patrick says. "I guess you make a point," I say. Patrick gets up off the bed and walks towards the bathroom. "If you want to join, just come on in," Patrick says. I look up at the ceiling and begin to think of tomorrow. "What if Ander isn't here? What if it's a setup? What if he knows we know where he is? What is he going to do? Kill people?" I ask myself. My thoughts get interrupted with the sound of water. I sit up and smile as I get up and walk in, closing the door.
