Max and I (A Max Schneider Fanfic)

~Chapter 29~

~Chapter 29~

 

"Can we fall, one more time, stop the tape, and rewind, oh and if you walk away I know I'll fade, 'cause there is nobody else, it's gotta be you!" Lulu and I sang along as One Direction blared through the radio. Lulu was over at my place hanging out because it was our day off. Max was still locked in his bed room, he had been since last night.

"Can you girls keep it down?" Max yelled from the doorway to his room. He was wearing old sweatpants and a sweatshirt. His hair was messy from sleep, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like a mess. There is really something wrong with him, I don't know what it is. He hasn't been himself since last night. It was 1:00 in the afternoon and he was still in his room.

"Sorry Max," I said as Lulu turned down the radio. Max slammed the door and we turned back to the magazines we were reading.

"What's up with Max?" Lulu asked me.

"I have no clue he has been like that since last night," I sighed and stared at his closed door.

"Well that's not good," Lulu mumbled under he breath.

"Yeah I know," I replied still looking at the door.

"No this is really not good," Lulu stammered. I looked back at her to realize she was looking at something on her iPhone. She wasn't talking about the same thing I was. What was she talking about.

"You might want to see this," she cringed. "Or might not."

Lulu handed me the phone. It was open to starsighting.com, I hate that website. The title on the top of the page said 'Two Time Trouble'. I scrolled down the first picture was of me and Max kissing at the arcade and Sam standing there watching us. Then I nearly dropped the phone. The next one was Max kissing Sam. I removed one of my shaking hands from the phone to cover my face. I tried to hide the tears that began to fall but one escaped and fell right onto Lulu's phone, splattering over the image of Max kissing Sam.

"'I'm so sorry Mary," Lulu told me, putting a hand on my back. "I don't know what happened I was with you. I wish I could tell you it's not true, but it looks pretty real to me."

"There's nothing anybody can say to convince me this didn't happen. I have now seen it with my own eyes," I said between sobs.

"You're okay, it's okay," Lulu gave me a big hug trying to calm me down.

I hopped up and stormed over to the door to Max's room. I kicked the door and yelled at the monster hiding behind it. "I hate you! I don't want to see you ever again!" I screamed.

I ran to my room and slammed the door. Lulu tried to follow me but I locked the door. I slid down, leaning my back against the door, trying to hold back the tears.

"What happened?" I heard Max exclaim and his bedroom door fly open.

"Idiot!" Lulu yelled at him. I then heard a loud smack, and a whimper excaped Max. I didn't know where she hit him, but it obviously hurt. I would've done the same to him if I didn't storm off and lock my door. I heard Lulu storm out the front door and slam it behind her.

"She knows," I heard Max say to himself. You bet I know. How could he do this to me? I thought we had something special. What did I do wrong? What did I do to deserve this? He meant the world to me. I wiped the tears from my eyes and stood up from where I was hunched infront of the door. I pulled out a small luggage bag from underneath my bed and threw open my closet doors. I grabbed handfuls of clothes and stuffed them into my bag, not caring to fold them.

I forced the suitcase closed and I grabbed a hoodie and sunglasses. I threw on the hoodie and pulled the strings so the the hood covered all of my hair. I then placed the sunglasses on my face, they hid most of it and I was thankful they did. The last thing I need is for people to see I have been crying. I then grabbed the spare keys that Max gave me to his car and slid on boots. I didn't even look at myself in the mirror, I probably look like a mess.

I threw open my bedroom door and began to make my way to the front door.

"Mary wait!" Max exclaimed jumping up from his place on the couch. "I can explain!"

"I don't want to hear any of your dumb excuses Max! No more lies! I'm sick of them!" I screamed at him and continued walking to the door. Max jumped infront of me, standing infront of the door so I couldn't open it.

"She kissed me, I tried to push her away I swear! You have gotta believe me!" Max pleaded. I looked at him. His eyes where still bloodshot and now teary, his hair a mess, and his left cheek was swollen and bruised. I assumed that's where Lulu hit him. For I minute I felt sorry for him. I wanted to comfort him, to forgive him. But how could I after what he has done to me? If anything I should be sorry for myself!

I took a deep breath to steady my shaking voice, "Goodbye Max," I said and he stepped out of the way not wanting to argue with me. I opened the door and quickly shut it behind me without looking back. I heard a loud bang come from inside the appartment. Part of me wanted to turn back and see if he was okay, but the other told me to keep walking. So I kept walking.

I ran down the steps and to Max's car. I climbed in and started the engine. I pulled down my hood and let my blonde curls bounce out of it. I don't care who sees me now. I am strong and independant, I don't care if I get mobbed by paparazzi at this point. I'll just tell them the whole story, that Max is a dirty, no good, flat out liar. I drove the car out of the parking lot and began to drive towards town. I didn't know or care where I was going, it just had to be anywhere but here.
