Chapter 8: I'm home
Max was sitting on the curb with a beer bottle? "your only 13 years old, should you be drinking?" he looked down "why even try? I mean they don't give a damn really, all they care about is having kids" "exactly! They want a kid can't you see?" "yeah but their always in my business and I hate it!" I grabbed the beer and drank from it. "yeah well that's what parents do" he nodded " whatever," "so know you now why we try?" "No not really?" I laughed, he drank from the bottle "this taste good!" I laughed "why even try? Try what? to live, be happy, or to have a family?" he looked at me. "I don't know? all of it?"
"Because it's what's right," "oh and you know what's right hu?! Really!?" I looked at him." No but I just know.." "you know it's all wrong ok! it's all wrong! were not supposed to be here ok! were supposed to be mom and dad!!" A tear rolled down my cheek. "Look, they choose drugs over us ok, they left us!" "like Mathew left you?" "don't you dare bring that up! you don't know what happened" "but I now it was wrong! I now it was bad and stupid"
I started to cry. "he was sick and had his own problems ok" he nodded and kept drinking "stop it!" "why?! hu? why?!" "because it's wrong!" "see! Their you go again!" "shut up! ok just shut up!!" he looked at me "I'm sorry Mia really I'm sorry" he hugged me and started to cry. "I'm sorry to, but we have to go back ok" he nodded "ok" we walked back and finished the beer. "Ready to face mom and dad?" "they are not my mom and dad! But they are family" I nodded, we opened the door to see Molly Charles Tony Oliver and Luke. "oh! ate you ok?"
He nodded, " fine..mom" she kissed his forehead and sat down. We ate and talked about what happened. Luke walked we outside to talk to me. "So what is it?" he smiled "don't ever run away like that again, ok it sacred me to hell!" I walked to the bench "why would you care? Your just my boyfriend." he put his arm around me and kissed my cheek. "But I'm still worried about you. Your like the only person and thing I want to be with" I smiled "why?" "because....well I can't explain it really! It's like finding...finding something special and never wanting to let it go" "so I'm your special thing?" he smiled and hugged me.
"Yes, my diamond, your my pearl! the apple to my eye" I got up. "But what if I don't want to be?!" he sat their. "So do you not want me to be your boyfriend?" "no! I want you to be it's just....complicated ok I'm sorry" "look Mia I made a promise to you that I would never hurt you or leave you ok! and I never break my promises!" "please Mathew don't make any promises you can't keep!" He looked at me " fine, then I want to make you a deal. If you let me kiss you right now then YOU have to promise to never leave me" I smiled and kissed him.
His lips moved around mine and he made me feel safe. His arms were wrapped around my waist and he hugged me. I felt very safe and happy. He let go, leaving his arms around my waist. " never leave me, please" he kissed me again, "never. I promise" I smiled and hugged him. I felt safe, at home in love.
