Part 11

Max’s POV

“Max I need to talk to you.” Jay walks into the living room to speak to me and I can tell straight away that something is wrong.

“What’s the matter?” I asked concerned. I hope that everything is alright between him and Suzy; it’s weird that she has gone out without him.

“It’s about Lottie.” He says, and I immediately start to panic, he is really struggling to tell me what ever is on his mind; I hope that she is okay, but how does he know something when I don’t?

“She is okay isn’t she?”

“She’s fine mate.” He says in answer to my question, and I am now able to relax.

“What ever you are about to tell me, can’t be that bad then, just spit it out.” He takes one deep breath before telling me what’s going on.

“I really sorry Max, but she’s cheating on you.” I can’t quite believe what I have just heard, I don’t want to believe it and I’m not going to believe it.

“You’re lying to me.” I say angrily, while standing up to leave the room, but he blocks my way.

“I really wish I was.” And I can tell that he is being sincere, but still I don’t want to believe him. “I saw her mate; this morning when I went to the shops. She was kissing some other guy. I’m really sorry.”

“No.” Slowly I am beginning to hear what he is saying to me. And before I know it I am crying. “I thought we were good together. I thought she liked me.”

“Don’t do this to yourself. This isn’t your fault. She had us all fooled.” I know he’s only trying to help but it isn’t really working, and I ‘m about to tell him this when Lottie walks through the door.

Lottie’s POV

“Babe what’s wrong?” I say while running up to him, he is in tears and I know that I can’t tell him the truth right now. I reach out to give him a hug but he doesn’t let me, which hurts a little bit.

“Where have you been?” He says as Jay leaves the room to give us some privacy.

“I was at a friends, she wanted some advice, I told you that.” I’m slightly confused as to why he is asking me this. He isn’t suspicious is he?

“Don’t lie to me?” He says clearly angry at me. And  now that I can feel him slipping away I realise how stupid I have been. It’s not Dan I want to be with, and I can’t believe that I have been so stupid. It’s Max that I love. It’s Max that I want to be with.

“Babe, I’m not. What’s Jay said to you?”

“Don’t try and blame this on Jay, he’s just being a good friend. You’ve been caught and you are trying to lie your way out of it. You’re unbelievable.” He knows. I can feel the tears coming and I don’t try and hold them back, I want him to see how much this is hurting me too.

“I’m so sorry.” I whisper while looking down at the floor. “I was so stupid.”

“Oh. So you’re admitting it now then. How long has it been going on?” Surly he doesn’t want to know all the details; I wish he didn’t anyway.

“A few months.” I hear him take a deep breath, and it’s killing me knowing that I have caused all this pain. “Max I’m sorry, I’ve been stupid.” I start talking although I can tell that he isn’t listening, but I can’t stop. “It’s not him I want, I realise this now. I’ll tell him it’s over. Max it’s you I want, not him, please believe me.” I say while trying to hold on to him, but he pushes me away.

“You made a fool out of me once; I’m not letting you do it again. Get out.”

“What?” Surly he doesn’t mean this.

“Get out of my house; we’re over, in case you really needed me to say it. Get your stuff, and get out. By the time I get back I want you gone; I never want to see you again.” He says before walking out the front door without turning to look at me. I’m shocked, this morning I was so happy, I had it all, but I didn’t realise it. And now I have nothing. Jay walks into the room and puts my packed suitcase besides me.

“Are you happy?” I scream at him. This is all his fault after all, if he had just kept his big gob shut.

“No, I’m not actually. One of my best mates is in tears, because a bitch just broke his heart. You heard him, get out.”

“You didn’t have to tell him though did you? What kind of friend does that make you? It’s your fault he’s feeling like this.”

“You’re wrong I may have caused the tears but they aren’t my fault. He needed to know, and it was obvious you weren’t going to tell him. It wasn’t an easy thing to do, he really loved you, and you threw it all back in his face. He deserved the truth.”

“He was happy with me. Until you ruined it.”

“It wasn’t real, it would all have come crashing down at some point, and it would have just been more painful then. Now leave before I throw you out.” And I can tell that he is being serious, so I pick up my things, and walk out the door, never to return. I’m crying so much now, that I can barely see, but I need to get away. I don’t know where I’m going to go; today has taught me one thing, I never wanted to be with Dan, unfortunately this realisation came too late. I text Dan to tell him we’re over, and he doesn’t reply, I knew he wouldn’t. Finely I remember the necklace I’m wearing; the one Max gave me on our one year anniversary. A locket with a picture of the two of us in it, with I love you inscribed on the back. We look so happy in that picture. But it’s just going to be a painful reminder of what I had, and what I could have had. I reach down and tare it from my neck, breaking the chain; I throw it on the floor and carry on walking without looking back.
