Too Far

Chapter 1

        Perrie's P.O.V.

         "Can you come over today?" "Nope. Sorry dude. I'm hanging out with Kyle today." "But you always spend time with him." Max complained. I rolled my eyes. "He's my boyfriend you dork. Of course I hang out with him. Besides, you always hang out with Jade." I retorted. Max had wanted to hang out but I had to help Kyle with English. He huffed. "But that's different." He tried to defend. "How?" He opened his mouth then closed it. He obviously didn't have and answer. "Exactly." I started walking away with my book bag slung over my shoulder. 

        He grabbed my wrist. "Oh c'mon man. Can we please hang out?" He begged. I turned around and looked up at him. He was a few inches taller than me so I had to look up. He was giving me his puppy stare. I couldn't reject that. I sighed. "Fine. But not until around eight. We should be done with studying by then." I told him. He pulled his fist in and said "Yes!" I rolled my eyes again. The wind blew my black hair into my eyes. It had gotten longer, about below my shoulders, and kept getting in my face. It was a little annoying. We were walking away from school. Thanksgiving break just started. Thank God for an extra long weekend. 

        Max and I lived in the same town. Our parents were friends before we were even thought of. When they had us around the same time, they would always have us together. We went to the same schools since preschool. I mean, of course we've made other friends and such but I know if someone was ever to take a bullet for me, it would be him. He was walking me home because Jade was staying after school for something. As we got to high school, we've become more and more separate but what do you expect? These are the years that people realize things and grow closer to others. 

        I glanced over at him with a smirk. We were by my house but there was a short-cut we would always take through the woods. He noticed and smirked back. "What're you thinking about Per?" "Remember our old short-cut?" I asked. "Of course I do! We spent most of our childhood in those woods." I then smiled. "Race you to my house!" I exclaimed as I ran into the trees. I heard him exclaim, "Hey!". I laughed to myself and kept running. He caught up to me and said, "Cheater!" I laughed. We were weaving in and out of trees. There was a fallen one and I jumped over it. We were neck and neck when my bag got caught onto a branch. It wouldn't come undone. "Dammit." I muttered out of breath. I finally got it unstuck but once I got to my house, Max was already at the door. 

        He was leaning on my door, completely fine. I was still panting. He glanced up at me when I had gotten to the door. "Karma's a bitch." He said smirking. I playfully punched him in the arm. "Get here by eight and we can go do something, 'kay?"I asked. He nodded. "See you at eight." I waved by and opened the door. It's usually unlocked when I get home. "Mom, I'm home." I announced. I heard my mom rummaging through some stuff in the living room. "Mom, what are you doing?" I asked. There were photos every where. She was sitting criss-crossed next to a tub of pictures. She was holding one in her hand. 

        Her head snapped up when she heard me. "Oh nothing. Just looking through some stuff. I found the cutest picture of you and Max. It was this summer when we were at the beach." She handed it to me. Our families get together a lot and do a lot of vacations together, In the picture, we were in the middle of a splash fight. I laughed at the memory. Not a few minutes after that, he felt something brush against his leg and screamed like a little girl. "You can keep it if you'd like. I'm sure I have another one in this pile of pictures". I nodded and put it in my wallet. I was about to go up stairs when I remembered, "Oh yeah, mom?" "Hm?" "Kyle is coming over in a bit to study. Then about eight, I'm going out with Max." "Alright hon. I'll send Kyle up when he gets here." "Thanks mom." I said going up the stairs. 

        I finally was able to get to the safety of my room. I threw down my bag and kicked off my converse. I laid on my bed for a little bit. I then thought of the picture. I sat up and got it. I looked at it for a bit. I was in my blue and white striped bikini and he was in dark blue swim trunks. I didn't mean to but I looked at his abs. When the heck did he get those? His brown hair was curly from the water but it was really attractive. Wait what? I had been absent mindedly been thinking about him and the picture and what not. My train of thoughts was broken when someone knocked at my door. "Come in." I called. Kyle poked his head in. "Hey." He said smiling. I smiled back at him. "Hey. Ready to do some English?" I asked sarcastically. He came in and closed the door. "Why do I need to take it if it's already my first language?" He asked annoyed I laughed. 

        He kicked off his shoes and hopped on my bed. He put his arms around me and out me in his lap. "Ah, Kyle! My mom could come in at any moment and see this." I told him cautiously, He shrugged. "Missed you and it was a long day." I ruffled his messy brown hair and pecked his cheek. "Missed you too." I said turning a bit pink. I got up and got my book bag. "Alright, now down to buisiness." We worked on English for about three hours. It was seven when we finally finished. My mom had jsut come in to get us for dinner. "You all done? 'Cause dinner's ready." We got out of my room and went down to eat. When we were done, Brent left and I got ready to go out again.

         It almost eight when I got a phone call. "Hello?" "Hey man."  "Max, what's up?" I asked, He sounded guilty or something. "I can't hang out tonight. Jade needs me for somthing. Is that ok?"  He said worried. I was actually a little hurt. He wanted me to hang out so badly but now that I finally was, he couldn't because of his girlfriend. I shouldn't get angry over that though. It's been like that for a while. I remember when I was more important than his girlfriend. Wait, am I getting jealous? Why am I jealous? He's my best friend, I shouldn't be jealous. 

        Since I didn't have any plans now, I decided to go on my laptop. I turned on my skype too and loaded up one of my favorite games. Realm of the Mad God had loaded and I chose my class. Archer, of course. I went on Skype to see if any of the guys were online. Derek, Brent, Harry, Caleb, Isacc and Kyle were all on. I put us all into a group chat and called them. "Hey Perrie!" Isacc exclaimed. "Didn't think we'd hear from you tonight." Harry said sarcastically. "Oh right, like I would leave you guys." I said rolling my eyes. Brent and Derek were talking about a strategy while Kyle was battling some demons.

        We played until midnight. "Dammit! I died again!" I exclaimed a little too loudly. "Can you not die please?" Derek asked. I rolled my eyes. "I have to go. Talk to you guys tomorrow." I told them waving at my screen. They all said bye. I turned off skype and the game. I decided to go check instagram on my laptop while I still had it out. I went to Max's page to see what he was up to tonight. There were a bunch of photos of him and Jade with a bunch of sappy, lovey dovey comments. Ew. I was scrolling through my feed when a picture of him and Jade came up. She was kissing his check and he commented, Love this girl so much. And had a bunch of heart emojis. I didn't realize it at first but I was starting to glare at the picture. Why in the heck would I glare at a freakin picture? I shook my head and kept scrolling. Eventually I became tired and turned off my laptop. I will just take a shower tomorrow morning. I got under my ocean blue covers and shut my eyes.

         I would wake up every few hours. I would be sitting straight up covered in sweat. I would always try to go back to sleep but it would take me about fifteen minutes. Each dream was the same. I meet up with Max and we go do something really fun. Jade would always get in the way and take him. He would even tell me she was more important than me. They would then beat me up or have someone do it. It was the same damn terrifying dream each time. All in all, I had only gotten five hours of sleep. I even got up at five and took a shower. I thought about the dream the entire time though. When I got out, I got dresses and through up my hair. I turned my laptop back on and turned on some anime on Netflix. It helped get my mind off of things for a little while.
