Max's p.o.v

I had gotten out of the underworld hospital a week or two ago and all i have done is stay in my room in the underworld with the lights off and making no contact with anything outside my room. Why am I like this? I have had my heart broken before, hell I have been abused my whole life and I never broke down like this. With everything that I have gone through why is Rin's death the thing that breaks me don the most? For the past week or two of trapping myself in the darkness of my room, isolated from the outside world. I have broken down so many time that I can't even count. My father has done countless attempts to get me to come out of my room and has tried to get words out of me but all I did was cry.

Xenophon's p.o.v (max's father)

It's been two weeks almost and Maxine hasn't come out of her room, she won't talk to anyone not even me. She maybe a quiet cried but you could tell she was crying. Ehhh why did you have to leave me with a girl Lillianna? I sigh as I lay back in the throne. You reader's are most likely asking what happened after Maxine's vision went dark. About a two weeks ago I notice that I couldn't summon Maxine or rin to the under would and I hadn't seen my second in command James in the same amount of time, when I was about to call a team of demons to locate the three of them there was a flash of orange and then Maxine was laying there with rin laying meters away from her bleeding and James was holding his face, panting in pain. I called in the guards and both rin and Maxine were taken to the underworld hospital, I stand in the centre of the room and James is left with me "what happened?" I asked him. After James had told me what had happened I sighed and sat on the throne.

The story that James had told me about why rin and Maxine had disappeared played at my mind, it didn't sound true. I sigh in frustration and James walks in to the throne room.

Max's p.o.v

I sigh and I lay on my bed "why did I even get dressed when im not even going to set foot out of this room?" I asked myself. After a little I sit up and look around my semi dark room "I miss him" I sigh and stand up walking over to my phone '20 miss call, 47 unread messages' why did they miss me? I shake the thought of my friends out of my head and lock my phone. As I locked my phone there was a knock at the door, I ignored it and walked over to the bookshelf. If im gonna spend more time in this room im going to read something, I hear the door open and then shut 'must be dad' I thought to myself. I grab a book and go to walk back to my bed but then I am pinned between the bookshelf by someone. Before I could even see who it was a pair of lip come in to contact with mine and they feel so familiar and Instantly i remember they feel a lot like Rin's, a tears start to flow from my eyes. When we parted I don't want to open at the person in front of me, if it really was rin my mind could be playing with and I look down at the floor is the best option right this second "max?" I can hear Rin's voice but im so unsure that it is really him

"Why won't you look at me?" Rin's voice asked

"Because im scared you're going to disappear again and im going to be left heartbroken again" I replied, I feel a hand lift my chin up and I see rin standing before me. Tears begin to flow from my eyes "I missed you" I sob

"Im never going to leave you Maxine" rin said. I then kiss him passionately will hugging him, it seems to last for ever until we part for air.

~Time skip~

It been the first time I had come out of my room in two weeks and rin is really hear, his alive and I still don't understand how he is here like I don't understand I saw him die in front of me. I shook the thought out of my head as I was so close to crying, im so happy he is back. We were walking down the hall toward the throne room, when we enter I see my father talking to James. We walk over to James and my father as they both look at us James eyes widen as they landed on rin "surprised?" I ask him with narrow eyes, James looks at me with narrow eye

"Guards!!" my father yells out. I give him a confused gaze and watch as some of the demon guards come in to the room and one stand on each side of rin "dad?" I question my father and look back to him

"Maxine James told me everything, now get away from him" he stated

"What did he tell you?" I asked

"That rin stole you then he went to kill you but James saved you before rin could kill you" dad said. I look to James and he smirks

"Okay if that's true why didn't you report back to my father before coming for me? How did you know where to find me?" I stated with a serious expression, James looked shocked and looked at my father then back to me

"Wanna tell the truth now?" I said in a pissed tone. James just stood there with a shocked expression.
