Life

Chapter 10

Max's P.O.V:

Well Luke left. Why would he leave? What happened?

Full of thoughts filled my head as to why Luke had left. When I close the door, Ash is nowhere to be found. "Ash? Where are you?"

"In here!" She calls from the bathroom. "Something wrong?" "No, I'm fine. Luke had to leave. He said work called him, but he didn't tell me why." I say sadly. The door flies open. "Did he say work called him?!"

"Um.... Yeah? Why?" "N- no reason." "Wh-" Just then, we hear a knock at the door. "Who is it?" I ask. "It's me. Ashton." I open the door and sure enough, it's Ashton. Something about him looks a little familiar.... I can't put my finger on it though.

"Hey Ashton. What's up?" Ashley asks. "Nothing. Just wanted to see if we could hang out tonight." He says. I look at Ash and she looks at me. "Uh sure. Why not?"

"Why don't you come in?" I ask. "Oh. Right." He says as he walks in and closes the door. He looks at me, like he wants me. Wait.... "Why don't we watch a movie?" Ashley suggests. "Sure. What movie?" I ask.

"How about Logan?" She suggests. "Oh yeah let's watch that one." Ashton says. "Max?" She says as she looks at me. "Huh? Oh yeah let's watch Logan." I say. I was lost trying to figure out who Ashton is.

Ashley gets the movie and plays it on the TV. I can barely watch it because I'm sitting right next to Ashton. I see him lean to the side and hear him whisper in my ear, "Hey pretty. I missed you."

He didn't..... Oh holy damn I know who he is.

I shot up and run to Ash, grabbing her by the arm and drag her into the bathroom, completely ignoring her protests for me to let her go. As soon as I close and lock the door, I let her go.

"Max!!! What the hell?!" She shouts. "Ash! Shut up! He will hear you!" I whisper- shout. "Who will hear me?" She questions. "Ashton." I say worriedly. "Max.... What's going on?" She says as she looks at me. I can see she's getting worried also.

"I think Ashton is the guy from the bar..."

"WHAT?!" She shrieks. "No no calm down please," I beg her. "What makes you think he's the guy from the club?"

"He leaned into my ear and said Hey pretty I missed you. What does that sound like to you?"

"Oh my god....." She takes out her phone and starts to type rapidly on the keyboard. "Who are you texting?"

"Luke." Is all she says.

Ashley's P.O.V:

LUKE!!!! We found Ashton. Remember the guy I told you about that was trying to hit on Max that she told you about? Well he's the new kid. And he just told Max "Hey pretty. I missed you." She's freaking out. Please come back. I hope James understands to let u come back- A

I'm terrified.... For Max. James... Please let Luke come back. Please. I thought. My phone dings and I look to see if he replied. Sure enough, he did.

He's there?! I'm telling James I have to go. I'll be omy in 10.- L

Kk. Thanks big bro- A

NP lil sis- L

"Please let him come," I say out loud on accident. "Let who come?" Max says. "Luke."

"You told Luke to come?!"

"This is an emergency, is it not?"

"Yes but you didn't need to make him come!"

"Well he's going to come anyways. You need him." I can see in her eyes she's taking my words into consideration. "Okay fine. Maybe I do need Luke.... Maybe a little...." She says.

"You do. You know you do."

"I hate when you're right."

"Deal with it," I joke. "Fine," she says. Her eyes widen. ,"What are we supposed to do about Ashton?" She asks.

I hadn't thought about that.

"Uh... Keep him busy until Luke gets here??"

"..... fine"

She unlocks the bathroom door and steps out, me right behind her.

"You girls were in there for a while. Everything OK?" Ashton asks. "Yeah. We're fine." Max lies.

I'll have you know we were very good liars and role players when we were younger.

As we sit back down to watch the movie, I see out the corner of my eye Ashton grab Max by her waist and pulls her to him. "St-" I'm cut off by the door flying open.

"GET. YOUR. DIRTY. A$$. LITTLE. HANDS. OFF. MY. GIRL!" Luke hollers. He storms into the room and grabs Max, who whimpers in his arms.

"Woah dude I didn't know she was yours" Ashton says. "WELL THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN STILL MESS WITH HER!" Luke shouts.

"Luke please. Stop it. You're scaring me." Max whimpers. He looks down at her and I see his features soften. "Ashton get out," I say. He stares at me with his eyes wide. "What did you just say?"

"I said get out, that's what I said."

The look in his eyes was murderous and he storms at me and grabs my wrists. "No! Let her go!" Max screams. "No!" Ashton says.

"ASHTON. LET. HER. GO!"

OH NO!! Killer Max!!! ABORT!!!!!!

She looks at Ashton with a murderous glint in her eyes, too. He glares back at her. "What are you going to do? Kill me?" He chuckles.

"I could. If I had a bat. Or a gun."

Luke visibly flinches at the gun part.

"Let her go. And I won't hurt you." I can tell she's trying very hard not to spill over. "No." He says bluntly. Uh oh....

Max lunges at Ashton and punches him straight in his jaw, making his hold on me loosen and he eventually falls. She goes at him again and Luke has to hurry and grab her and hold her back.

"Let me go!" She thrashes her legs out to try and break his hold on her. "Max please! I'm OK!!" I say. I try and get her to look at me and when she does, tears fill her eyes and she stops thrashing.

"Oh no don't cry," I say as I pull her into a hug. Luke comes and hugs her too. I glare at Ashton for him to get up and leave. When he does, I pull away from Max and she collapses in Luke's arms, completely asleep.

Sooo they didn't tell Max Luke is in a gang yet, and she finds out Ashton is the guy from the club. He likes her, and tried to get her. But her bada$$ self wouldn't let him 😂 If you want to read the role playing part, read my friend _Sky555_ 's she has some of our role play in it. Hope you like and vote for her book!
