Did You Really Save Me

Chapter Twenty One

Max POV

Sean came in a few minutes later, his eyes widened when he saw me awake and looking at him, the atmosphere was tense and uncomfortable. I avoided eye contact with him and closed my eyes trying to get some more rest. I heard the door open and close, no new footsteps or voices were heard so Sean must have walked out.

About five minutes later and I still couldn't get back to sleep, I groaned and opened my eyes again. Sean walked back in but this time he was accompanied by Lucas and Levi. When they see me awake they immediately run over and ask me a ton of questions. My mind is still hazy and I can't process what they are saying.

I close my eyes and sigh softly, they stop speaking and watch me. "Are you ok M.X?" Lucas asks. I nod my head trying to get the hazy feeling to go away. Levi stays silent and that worries me. "The reason why you fainted M.X was because you hadn't eaten or drunk anything for the past four to five days." He finally speaks, I nod my head, I try to speak but my throat is extremely dry and I just cough.

Lucas hands me a glass of water that was sitting on the bedside table and I chug it down quickly. My voice comes back to me slowly after finishing the glass. "How are you feeling M.X?" Levi asks, "I'm fine honestly, only a bit tired and a bit hungry." Lucas and Levi nod in response. "That's a given." Lucas responds, "Given how long you didn't do any of those things." I stay silent, feeling a little bit guilty but only a small bit.

After realising Sean was in the room still, I felt awkward. He was a part of the cause of it. When I look over to him he looks guilty, but I'm not sure if he is just faking it or not. As I said, my trust of them has almost completely gone, it all happened because of one simple question.

Lucas left and pulled Sean with him, Lucas said he was off to get some food for me. Levi stayed next to me, I'm glad he didn't ask or push me to tell him why I starved myself. "What has been going on for the past few days?" I question, breaking the silence. "Not much really," Levi starts "everyone was really worried about you, especially after we heard Sean yell at you." I look away from Levi. I feel a hand rest on my forearm, I look up at Levi. He has a small, comforting smile on his face.

"None of the members are going to pressure you into telling them what happened between you two, everyone has their own secrets and don't have to share them if they don't want to, but." He pauses, "we are here and ready if you ever want to tell us, it may ease down the pain of the secret but it may not. Just always remember we are all here for you and you can come to any one of us if you need a shoulder to cry on."
