The Summer with Him

Ch 12

A/N Ok I know yesterday I said 3 updates. I know a whole day late but here is another one. I also decided I will not take it down. So enjoy.

I heard someone come after me but I really didn't want to see who it was as I kept on walking trying to avoid whoever it was.

I made it to the other side of the beach before whoever was following me finally caught up. I turned and saw it was Max. I wanted to be mad but he was the only one who hadn't betrayed me and I launched my self at him hugging him. It felt good to have some kind of comfort but I wished everything from the past hours hadn't happened at all.

"I'm sorry, I just needed someone to hug." I said letting go of him.

He laughed and shook his head "no need to be sorry and if you say the word I can go back there and beat him up for you if you like?"

"No, and stop acting like you are enjoying this so much." I said shoving him playfully.

For some reason being around him I felt completely free and happy. Maybe this thing with my friend and ex (yes no longer am I with him now) was a good thing now he could go home and I don't need to see him again. If only.

When I got home Kyle was gone and I was finally able to take that much needed shower. By the time I was out and dressed I spent a couple hours with Britt and Joe with the baby. It was a long day and was glad for it to be coming to an end.

 It was a few days later and the constant messages from Chels trying to talk to me. I thought maybe she would get the message that I didn't want to talk to her just yet. It still hurt and I wasn't ready. I had help to hide out. If I wasn't home I was hiding out at Max's.

Yes, Max agreed to let me hide out in his place until I was ready to talk to her again. Which is where I was at the moment.

"So, when are you going to talk to her?" Max asked.

"Ugh, I don't know." I said.

We were currently sitting on his couch with nothing to do and I could see that he was growing tired of this game of hide and seek Chels and I were playing.

"Well you guys need to talk eventually." He said shrugging.

After our talk as brief as it was I decided to go home and just my luck on the way I couldn't avoid her any longer.

She was looking at me like she wanted to walk to me but wasn't actually sure. As I watched her she finally got up the courage to walk towards me. I tried to let some anger go but I wanted to see what she said first.

"So... I just wanted to say that I'm really really really sorry for what happened. It was stupid and drunken mistake and I know you hate me but please I just wanted to say that I'm sorry." She said going on and to be all honest I wasn't that mad at her any more. I mean sure she went and slept with my boyfriend but he took off right after.

"Ok, Chels, first things first I am not mad anymore." I started and she was shocked. She went to say something but before she could I continued "In all honesty I just didn't want to see you. I saw how much you betrayed me. No, I am not mad I just feel betrayed." I finished and I saw she was already starting to cry.

"Ok, I understand." She said tears still spilling out of her eyes.

I did the one thing I didn't think I would do I went over and hugged her. I felt like my body betrayed me but I just felt so bad and I didn't know if I could lose her.

"I can't trust you but I don't want to lose either." I said releasing her.

I didn't know what else to say and before we could talk anymore I was summoned home. We left each other with what was said and left it for another day.

Britt had some stupid thing planned tonight and I was included and so was Max since technically he was family. I wasn't happy but it had to be done.

We ended up having dinner and an after dinner movie. It was 'family bonding' as Britt liked to call it. I quickly came up with a plan with the help of Max of course. I faked being sick and Max being the gentleman he is (haha) 'helped me'.

I think they suspected it wasn't real but with the baby was in bed and the teens were ditching they didn't mind.

 Max and I got away and retreated to my room. I was hanging out with him a lot and it was fun for me but not so much for him. Oh well, if he was truly tired of me he would have been gone long ago.

"Ok, so now that that's over. What do we do now?" He asked just relaxing on my bed.

I didn't like the fact that he got so comfortable on my bed but I didn't let that ruin my mood. I got right next to him. He was a little surprised but then didn't mind as much. Hey it was my bed I was entitled to be on it.

"I don't exactly know. I finally talked to Chels today." I said.

this peaked his interest "Oh....and?" he asked.

"Well she apologized and I'm not actually mad anymore. But I told her I still feel betrayed but I don't want to lose her." I said.

"What else that didn't really solve anything did it?" He continued asking.

"No we didn't get much further before I called back here for this. I guess it'll have to wait another day." I simply answered.

"So, does that mean I get my place back?" He asked hopefully.

I just giggled and nodded my head and he sighed in relief. "I just hate that I was hurt by someone I thought cared." I said not really knowing where that came from.

He noticed my tone and turned so he was leaning over me and I was a little confused as to why. "I knew he was no good and you do not need to trouble yourself with thinking of that." He said.

"Oh yeah and why is that?" I asked.

"Because I'm here and I would always be. remember that."

Ugh why does he have to be so confusing I didn't like it and- all of the sudden Max kissed me breaking my train of thought. It took me a minute but it was nice and I didn't want it to stop. We just kept kissing and then after what felt like a while someone knocked on my door. We immediately jumped apart him on the other side of the bed and I sat straight up.

"Hey, guys. Just here to tell you Joe said he thinks it time for you to get home Max. it's getting late." Britt said.

"Oh yeah of course." He said already heading out the door.

I watched as he left he didn't even say bye to me and Britt saw the look on my face. She also took in my appearance and just smiled and closed my door again.

Ugh, what in the world kissing and losing my friend. I don't like it Kyle really screwed my life up. Tomorrow I am going to put it all back together and also find out what is up with Max.
