the letters || max mills

twenty

max

after almost a month since ophelia moved to the states, i finally, finally, received a letter from her. we had gotten busy and trying to facetime in a five hour time zone difference is a bit difficult, so i hadn't heard from her in awhile.
once i got inside the house i practically ripped open the envelope, almost ripping the letter too. i pulled it out and began reading..

sorry we haven't talked in awhile, living in the states is a bit busy. i'm enjoying it though, i love living by the coast.
i hope england is doing well, i miss it there but it's pretty cool here.
i promise we'll facetime soon :)
i miss you!
p.s. i got you another hat ;) it's on it's way..

i smile widely at the letter. just then, mom walks through causing both of us to jump in surprise.
"sorry max, i didn't know you came through the door." she says and recollects herself
"sorry, i was reading my letter.." i say and give a half smile
she nods
mom doesn't hate the fact that we're talking, we've come to this agreement where if anything feels wrong or off, i would tell her immediately. of course at times i can tell she's still shaky about us talking again, but i know she knows i can make my own decisions and i'm not 13 anymore.
i hear the door open from behind me and before i know it i'm flying forward. i almost smack my face into the floor but i catch myself and stumble forward.
"woah sorry max." harvey says closing the door behind him
"jesus..you don't need to come through the door that fast.." i say while brushing myself off
"well i didn't expect you standing right there like that." he says
"i was reading a letter.." i say
"from ooopheliaaaa" harvey says in a flirtatious tone
i roll my eyes
"yeah, yeah whatever." i say waving him off
"how is she?" he asks
"good." i say
me and harvey have also come more to terms with each other since our fight. he understands how i feel because he saw how i felt back then. he wants me to be happy and doesn't want to take that away from me.
"how's the states for her?" he asks
"good." i say
he nods
"do you think you guys are ever going to reunite sometime?.." he asks
i shrug
"i dunno. we want to..but i don't know when we're going back to the states." i say
"what about vidcon? we never miss vidcon." harvey suggests and hangs his coat up
"she'd never be able to go to that." i say
"worth a shot max." he says
i slowly nod
he pats me on the shoulder and disappears into the kitchen. i hurry upstairs to our room and place the letter in the special box like always. i check the time to see if ophelia was home yet. it was just about 4:00 her time so she was home. i pulled my phone out and clicked her contact.
