Concealed - Jesse X Reader: Minecraft Story Mode

Chapter 16 (Preview)

GUYS! IM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING! I went on vacation and the place I went had ZERO WiFi, I had to use my data to try and update, but then my phone died and the electricity went out for a few days, it was FREAKING TORTURE! Let me know in the comments if there is ANYTHING I can do to make it up to you guys (Within reasons, there is obviously limitations when I say 'ANYTHING') Also, thanks for 4K reads!

Max rasps the Flint and steel together to ignite the wood. I drew my knees up to my chest, burying my face into my hinges, sort of sobbing on the inside. The radiance of the fire displayed on my miserable appearance, as Max took notice. He powders the ashes from the wood off his body before sauntering over to me. He sat down next to me, taking a few quick glances at my face as if he was thinking about what to say. We sat in silence for a few minutes, before he spoke up, "Is something bothering you?". I bit my lower lip mildly, as my gaze trailed to the window, which had zombies and creepers generating outside of it. "Before I got trapped in that cave", I muttered, trying to convince myself to speak up. "I saw him". Max was utterly perplexed, and had no clue what I meant by 'him'. I inhaled the smokey and foggy atmosphere. "Herobrine. I saw Herobrine", I let out, a little hostile than I anticipated. "He was right there in front of me. I should've said something. Done something. Anything!". Max looked back at the blaze. I couldn't tell if he understood my point or if he was still confused. "You saw Herobrine while running to the cave, correct?", he asked. I nonchalantly nodded with a bit of frustration simmering inside me for acting like a chicken.

Max narrowed his eyebrows. "Then, why are you so quiet? Are you scarred? Was it because--". "I'm a coward!", I spat out, tightly closing my eyes as I stiffly clenched my fists. "I can't believe I actually thought I could be a hero. I can't even stand up to a villain. I'll never be like the Order", I once again, sank my head into my knees and gritted my teeth, trying to hold back the tears. "I'll never be a hero". Max, however, begged to differ, as he took my chin and lifted my head so I could secure eyes with his. This felt...surprisingly unnatural. "(Y/N), that's not true. You risked everything to bring Herobrine down. If that make's you anything, it's a hero". His hands moved to cup my, now bright, fiery and very rosy cheeks as I tried to wrap my head around the situation I was in at this moment. "You're my hero", he breathed, smiling affectionately at me. 

HAHA!!! I'M SO MEAN! Sorry, I'm still working on the story and I'm SUPER Jet-lagged. But don't worry, the chapter will come eventually......eventually. MWAHAHAHA!!!
