"Who are you?" He question. "I'm uh vale" he chuckled "don't be nervous I'm Maxwell but you can call me Max or Maxxie!" He cheerfully stated. As soon as the smile appeared it faded. "Why were you trying to you know kill yourself?" I sighed and converted my eyes to my feet. "Well uhm I don't think you would understand." He slipped his hand into mine and lead me to a bench about 3 minutes away. The short walk was silent other than a few sniffle from both of us. We sat down and he wrapped his arm around my waist and let me lean into his chest.

"Trust me I would understand."

He brought his arm in front of my face to show small cuts up and down his long tan arm and three hospital bracelets. He brought his arm back to his lap and I traced over the scars one by one. "Come on Vale why did you try to end your life?" I mumbled into his chest the simple word "Family" and he said no more as if he got what I meant by that.

We sat in that position on the bench until his phone started ringing. He picked it up and hit the answer button

"Hello? ... Yea blake I'll be there in 10." With that he hung up.

"Wait blake who?" He looked at me sincerely, "Bliss" I nodded and thought for a moment remembering my neighbor. "He's my neighbor!" I cheerfully said, and he nodded looking at my pale figure, "would you like to hang out with us?" I smile and accepted his offer.

When we arrived at Blake's house I could hear my parents screaming at one another and just sighed. I think Max got the clue that the yelling was coming from my house because he squeezed my hand as to say everything was going to be alright. Max knocked on the door and Blake answered and when his eyes caught mine he seemed taken aback. I slightly waved and he let us both in.

His house was small but beautiful. Blake lead us into the living area and asked if we would like anything to drink or eat. I asked for a glass of water. Max took a turkey sandwich.my eyes searched all over Blake's house and I could feel Max staring at me. "Max why won't you take your eyes off of me?" He slightly smiled, "you're one the most beautiful girls I have ever seen." I blushed and looked down at my lap and slightly giggled.

Blake returned seconds later with our orders and sat down in a chair across from us. "So are you two a thing or what?" Blake asked as he took a glimpse at both of us. Max just shrugged his shoulders, "I would like to be, but we just met that would be Vale's decision." Both of them faced me and I shrugged as well. "I mean I guess one date wouldn't hurt." Blake and Max high fived and I just sat there giggling like an idiot.

Yea yea this is my first date and yes I am a 19 year old who still lives with her parents with no job, no college, no nothing. Just a severe case of depression and anxiety.

Max got up from his seat next to me on the couch and went to use the bathroom. As soon as the door shut Blake spoke up. "Listen Vale I know you must hate me but I am truly sorry about what happened this morning. I didn't know your parents were like that. I swear." I put my finger on my lips as to quiet him down a bit. "We will talk about it tomorrow okay?" He agreed and Max re-entered the room.

"So what would you like to do?" Max quickly shouted video games like a young boy and that was my cue to leave. I stood up and Max stopped me quickly to lay a small kiss on my cheek causing me to blush. "I'm not a big gamer so I think I'll head home." They both agreed and before I walked out of the front door Max shouted after me, "when can we have our date?" I smirked and though for a moment. "After you get another tattoo." I hurried out of the house so he didn't have time to change my answer.

I ran up into my room and began playing my music. LOUDLY. Just to piss my parents off. But I danced around my room like a madwoman in pure excitement. I just couldn't wait to see that new tattoo!
