Those Bloody Tears

Chapter Eleven

Chapter Eleven

            We talked, for as long as I was allowed to stay, with his hand in mine. But it didn't feel like we were together. He told me all about his friends and how they made it more bearable. He told me what Jessica did and Abby, the girl he was walking with, who was his best friend here. He said that there were definitely more girls here than guys and they were all here for eating disorders and he told me there was only one guy who was his age here. His name was Luke, he was an anorexic.

            I went home with more information than I could even absorb, but I had listened intently and told him things too. Like the guys were doing their own make up. I had the twins over for asleep over because their careless older brother had wanted the apartment for himself and his new "friend". I told him that the twins wanted to watch some new vampire film. I told him that I thought only girls liked those kinds of movies, but Andy just giggled and shook his head.

            I hated leaving him, but visiting time was over and he had to go to group therapy. I would have rather died than go to that, but I know he needs it. I kissed his forehead and promised him I would come see him tomorrow and then I started wondering what was wrong with me. Why do I care? He's just a boy. He's not related to me. He's just my makeup designer. A boy who is making me care again and a makeup designer who is making me up. Yeah, cheesy I know, but he is. And it's absolutely driving me insane. I can't stand it. But what else am I going to do? Stop talking to the kid? Umm, no.

            So I showered, shimmied into some clean clothes, and drove down to see Andy.

            "He's in the common room with some of his friends. You can go in there if you like or you can wait for him to go to his room," the perky blonde-haired chick said in a way that made me wonder if she was hitting on me.

            "I'll just hang out with him and his friends," I said pushing her hair back. Yeah, I can be a flirt. "By the way I'm totally tapping that when he comes home." But I can also shut down any one who's coming onto me.

            She got a bit flustered and escorted me to the common room. I muttered a quick thanks before turning to see Andy sitting practically on this kids lap watching a movie.

            "Uh, hey, Andy," I said awkwardly.

            He blushed slightly and scooted away just hair. "Hey, this is Luke. Luke, this is Maxxie."

            "'Sup?” Luke said. He looked like he should be a running back or something, but a shrunken version.

            "Just doing some charity work,” I said rolling my eyes and sitting beside Andy.

            "How’s it going, Andycakes," I said and pulled him on my lap and pinched his rear. I decided he needs some normalcy and so do I.

            "Be nice!" he squeaked and crawled off my lap close to Luke again.

            "When am I ever nice?" I questioned raising a brow.

            "Today when I tell you to," he said trying to sound assertive, but it wasn't all that convincing.

            I rolled my eyes. "Just for you. I guess." I muttered in German not that he could understand even if I spoke clearly.

            "Just be quiet and watch this movie with us. It's Liar Liar, my favorite movie. "

            "The one where that over actor beats himself up in the bathroom?"

            "Be nice," he reminded me.

            "Fine," I mumbled and settled in to watch this movie for the thousandth time. Justin and Jesse were also big fans of this movie as well.

            I noticed that further and further into the movie Andy moved further from me and closer to Luke. I even thought I saw them hold hands, but I knew it was probably my jealous mind running wild. Once I marked someone as mine, I didn't want anyone to have them. Even if I had someone else.. That’s only happened twice before, but it’s not gonna happen with Andy.

            When Luke excused himself to go to the bathroom, I decided to get straight to the point. "Are you banging Luke?"

            "No!" he exclaimed blushing.

            "Do you like him?"

            "He's a really good friend."

            "Do you like him more than me?"

            "I think you're being ridiculous," he said blushing at my question.

            "Do you still like me?"

            "Drop it?" he begged.

            "You don't do you? You like Luke now and forgot all about me didn't you?"

            "Maxxie!" he pleaded.

            "Whatever I'll be back tomorrow, maybe for the last time. Get your story straight," I said getting up, kissing him forcefully on the lips and stomping out of the room.

            I know I may have over reacted, but what can I say I'm a jealous person.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I really really hate Luke. But maybe that's because I love Maxxie and Andy together and a couple.
