A Past Better Left Forgotten

Chapter 5: The "Death" Of A Friend (3/3)

(( The last chapter of "The 'Death' Of A Friend" parts! Next chapter, "Dark" will come into play >:3 Hope y'all will like this one
Also, I should tell you now that there is a ship in here, it's more of a non-canon ship. I wanted to do this since my sister 'owns' Jinx, in a way, and she paired the two up randomly xD
Ok, NOW read on!

EDIT 7/30/19:// Edited chapter to fit changed Backstory!!))

A year later...

Max's POV

I'm not the same anymore, after their deaths. I'm not that reckless, wanna-be-great child. I'm rather quiet and isolated, in my opinion. If Sammy were here he'd be calling me out for it and try to make me happy-- oh there I go again, I just made myself sad... again.

But I, thankfully, wasn't alone anymore. There was Jinx still. She still lived with Angel's parents, and they even let me stay there for as long as I want, they practically adopted me into their family. Jinx and I were closer than ever, which was nice, I guess. It didn't feel the same though. I'm used to having four other people around me, and now it's one. Sometimes I wonder... who's next?

My mind shifted back to me and Jinx, walking towards the city. I never liked the city. Judgy people, loud sounds, everything that I hate. The only nice thing was the access to the top of buildings. It was always fun to be up there, and it was even more fun to watch Sammy freak out because of how high we are at. It was great for me and Jinx to go alone at times, it was romantic... in a way.

'Oh yeah, the disgusting, smelly, loud city is soo romantic!' My conscious seemed to say to me, making me huff to myself with a scowl.

'Shut it conscious, no one asked you!'

Getting near our building, which was an abandoned brick and wooden one, and looked to be falling apart. But nothing ever happened to us! We were invincible! I was barely even 10 years old, so obviously I thought we were invincible.

I dashed into the building and fled towards the staircases, wanting to get away from all the noises and all the people. Did I ever mention that I hate people, in general? No? Well, now you know! They're so scary sometimes...

Jinx knew the reason for my rush, so she followed me as I floated- thanks to my powers -up the steps. What? I can be lazy sometimes! Sammy is another story. He made me carry him every. time. Lazy bones...

Due to this building being so tall, it took a while to get up. About half way up, I felt bad for Jinx and carried her up the rest of the way. It didn't help my emotional levels towards her. She could probably feel my unnaturally cold body giving off a rare sense of heat. 'Darn girls...' I thought to myself, seeing the door to the roof. I set my crus- I mean, friend, down and opened the door. I gestured her to get first, just like a gentleman would. She gave me a smile, making me internally freak at the fact I did something right for once, before walking in. I followed after her.

I had tried making her time around me as great as I could. I mean, I did take her adoptive sister away from her. Yes, I blame myself for what happened still. If I weren't such a big baby, none of this would've--

"Max?" A voice snapped me out of my thoughts, making me glance over to the side at my purple rabbit friend. He tilted my head to the side, as if I were a real puppy. "Are you... okay?" She asked warily, but also with loads of concern for me at the far-away look on my face. As much as I wanted to say 'no' and explain my thoughts, I nodded and muttered a 'yes' to her, giving a large, but semi-fake, grin. It was hard to be completely sad around her.
