Topaz Cherries

Chapter 6

Madis POV
Tonight is the dance, and I hate it. Max convinced me I should go, but I'm gonna be lonely. Miley is going with Colton, Max is going with Kelly, and I'm going to be lonely.

I'm sitting at home waiting for Max since she convinces me to go get my hair done too, which I hate.

Luckily I convinced Max to not make me wear a dress, and let me wear converse. It took a while, but eventually she let me.

I'm just wearing a flannel button up shirt, black jeans and a bow tie, because fuck gender stereotypes. And flannel is comfy.

I hear a knock at the door so I go to open it. Max walks in hugging me. And the bitch, I mean Kelly walks in behind her.

I look to the ground frowning. Cheryl and Toni walk over to say bye. I hug Toni, and she whispers something in my ear.

"You can take the bitch Kelly." Toni says. I laugh a little bit and smile. I let go of Toni and walk to Cheryl.

"Ignore Kelly, your better than her. Besides, if worse comes to worse, we have a whole gang to back us up." Cheryl says making me laugh again.

I back away from them. "Bye moms." I say as I walk out the door with the other two girls. Max sits in the front, and I make sure there is space between me and Kelly.

The car ride is silent, nobody knowing what to say. After a few minutes we get the the hair place and I die.

Max walks up beside me. "Come on Mads, it won't be that bad." She says. I roll my eyes and glare at her.

-After Hair-
We are all supposed to hang out, but if I have to spend one more minute with Kelly I will actually die.

"Oh um my mom is going to pick me up. She need ms me home for something." Kelly says unconvincingly. This makes me happy.

"Oh okay. See you later." Max says hugging her. We get into the car, but this time the ride isn't silent.

Max turns around to look at me. "So Mads. Any guy catch your eye?" She asks.

"Uh not a guy. There's this girl I like. But she doesn't like me." I say. Max makes eye contact with me but I quickly break it.

"How do you know if you haven't asked her?" Max asks. I shrug.

"I just do." I say looking out the window.

"Okay well we're at my house so." Max says getting out of the car. This'll be fun.

-The Dance-
I get to the dance and see Miley with Colton, but not Max.

I start walking around finding a place to sit when I see Max alone, looking quite upset.

I walk over. "Hey Maxy. Where's your date?" I say walking over. I sit down with her realizing she's crying.

"Shit what did she do? I'm gonna kill her." I say looking around. Max grabs my arm and shakes her head no.

"Turns out she didn't change and this was all a prank." Max says. I stand up and walk around to hug her.

She hugs back and I can feel her tears on my shoulder. I stand up and take her hand. I bring her to the dance floor.

"Dance with me and pretend she doesn't exist." I say. Max smiles and nods. We dance for a while.

Max makes eye contact with me and suddenly everything else disappeared. Max broke contact for a split second as she slightly glanced down, at my lips.

I put my hand of the back of her neck and leaned in, and to my surprise she leaned in too.

Our lips met in middle, and it was amazing. The is gonna sound cliche, but I could feel sparks.

I smiled, breaking the kiss as I hugged her. She hugged me back.

Max broke the hug and took my hand. She brought me to where we're sitting and we sat down.

"Max, I really like you. And based on that I hope you like me back. So I wanna know if you'd like to date." I say. Max smiles, making me smile back.

"Of course I like you. I wouldn't have said yes to Kelly if you asked me. And I'd love to date you." Max says, making me smile wider.

I lean in a quickly kiss her. "My moms are gonna be here soon. Wanna sleepover?" I ask. Max nods.

"I'll be right back." Max walks of to I assume call her dad Reggie, not her dad Kevin, both of which were friends with Cheryl, Toni, Betty and Veronica.

After a minute Max walks back smiling. "He said it's fine." Max says sitting down. I smile as she grabs my hand.

After a few minutes I get a text from Toni saying they are here. I hand Max her jacket, which was on my seat because she was sitting her before, and we go outside.

I open the door and get in, Max getting in behind me. "Hi Madi. Hii Max." Toni says making me laugh.

Max laughs to. "Hi Mrs.Blossoms." Max says. I smile. Max lays her head on my shoulder.

"Please. Call us Cheryl and Toni. Now what is, this?" Cheryl asks motioning Max and my closeness. I smile, blushing.

"We're kinda dating..." I say. Toni smiled but Cheryl frowns. Toni laughs.

"Haha! You owe me 20 dollars!" Toni yells at Cheryl. I laugh, remembering Toni said they bet on everything.

Toni starts driving as I tell Cheryl all about the night. We get home and me and Max run upstairs.

I leave the door open, knowing that even if it was closed it would be opened. Me and Max lay down on my bed and start talking.

Based on the time I figure Alec would be asleep but nope. Alec strolls into my room and sits down across from me and Max.

"Are you guys dating?" Alec says causing me and Max to start laughing. Alec just sits there looking very serious.

"Yes we are." Max says kissing my cheek making me smile. I lay my head down on her shoulder. Alec smiles.

"Cool." Alec says. He then gets up and leaves the room, causing me to raise an eyebrow.

"That was odd." I say. Max just nods in agreement.

"Yeah it kinda was." Max says. She then leans in capturing my lips in hers. I kiss her back, obviously.

We only stop when someone clears their throat in my doorway. I pull away and see Toni standing there. I smile at her. She smiles back.

Toni walks in and sits on the bed in front of us. I feel Max get tense so I hold her hand so she is as nervous. Max smiles at me.

"Since Madi is now my daughter, I feel this conversation is necessary. Max, you break her heart I break your neck-" Toni says before I cut her off.

"MOM!" I say loudly. Max laughs into my shoulder. Toni rolls her eyes.

"I wasn't finished. Max, I am the leader of a gang. You hurt her, nobody will find the body." Toni finishes. I can feel Max shaking.

"I'm just kidding. Not about the leader of a gang part. Anyways, just don't hurt her." Toni says smiling as she leaves me room.

I look at Max, who looks terrified. "It's okay. She won't actually hurt you." I say kissing the top of her head. Max smiles.

"Now I'm tired. Let's go to sleep." I say to Max. I pass her some close to change into. I go to the bathroom to change into mine.

I walk back and see Max sitting in my pyjamas on my bed and I smile. I walk over to her and give her a quick peck on the lips.

"Hey." Max says putting her phone down. I lay down in the bed, Max laying down beside me.

We turn and look each other and smile. "Hi." I say. Max smiles and gives me a quick kiss, making me smiles even more.

"I'm tired. Can we actually sleep?" Max says. I nod. Max wraps her arms around me, making me feel safe. Safer than I've ever felt.

A/N
This is a lot of words long. I could make it a lot more, but it's would get too long. This book will focus on Madi, Max, Toni and Cheryl more than the other characters, but the others will be in it a lot. That's all BYE
