Just him

Twenty-four

I held my head in my hands as I listened to Lara read the note that Max left me, "what do I d—"

"Sshttttt."

I scowled at Lara as she shushed me, does she have to read the whole thing.

"I guess we're going for a drive to San Francisco," Lara giddily said as she stood up and hugged me, "but first we have to go to the doctors to make sure everything up there is working fine."

"What about school?" I asked watching as she grabbed my car keys.

"I'm sure we can take a week off, we already have spots in college so what would a few days do, come on, we can get clothes there."

"Connor! Come here," Coach called to me as I was running laps around the track. He seems grumpy, great.

"What's up coach?"

"What's up? Nothing is up, what's going on with you you're usually top of the team but you're doing shit lately Max," I knew this conversation would come some day.

"Coach I know, I just haven't been in it lately I don't know why, I'm trying," I sighed.

"If you don't have your A game tomorrow, I'm sorry son but we can't have you playing full quarters on Friday, pick it up yeah," coach said before walking off back to the gym. Fuck.

"What did coach want?" Ryan asked walking up to me with our bags.

"Wanted to know why I've been playing like shit," I told him.

"And did you tell him what happened?" I shook my head in response to Ryan. He just sighed and grabbed my shoulders.

"I know you won't get over her but you can't let it fuck up your life, you know football, It's a natural instinct for you or something like that, just pull your finger out of your ass and try find the Max before he fell for a girl—"

"If you two are gonna kiss can I join?"

"Ugh Hi Samantha," Ryan sighed before taking his hands off me and continuing to walk.

"Sorry Samantha, talk later! Coach needs us asap," I said and began running. She's the last person I want to see. We bursted out laughing as we reached the gym, I have second hand embarrassment for Samantha right now.

"You're such a dick," Ryan laughed nudging me as he opened his locker, "we're training more tonight, you're the last person we need benched."

Ryan smacked my shoulder before walking into the showers. At least I can still have some sort of humour and fun. Well, until she pops into my brain.

It was dark when we arrived in San Francisco. Lara just got off the phone with Ryan and I haven't heard him get that excited since he was 9 getting his first bike on Christmas day.

He said Max was running out on the field so we parked there and I can slightly see him running around.

"Just go sit on the bleachers and wait until he sees you," Lara giggled getting out. I followed and walked past her as she sat on the hood of my car.

I feel like I'm meeting someone I've been talking to online. I'm so nervous, and for what?

I sat on the bleachers and watched Max and Ryan throw the ball to each other.

Ryan noticed me and instead of passing the ball to Max he threw it over by me and it landed by my feet. Max turned around and I kid you not it felt like I was in a movie.

He smiled at first but then his head dropped as he started walking towards me.

"What are y—"

I didn't let him finish. I grabbed his head and pulled his lips straight to mine, smiling as he wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me up.
He put me down and hugged me as tight as he can.

"Max, I need air," I breathed out and he let go slightly but still kept his arms around me.

"You got your memory back," he smiled like a kid at an amusement park.

"All thanks to this," I said and showed him the note. He blushed and turned his eyes away, "I don't know how but I finished reading it and you just flooded my memory."

"Please tell me you went to the doctors before you came here," he said sliding his hands down my head before they landed on my cheeks.

"Yes Lara made me but I have to go back in tomorrow so he can do some proper scans, so soak this in while you can because I have to leave first thing in the morning, he also said no sex until he gets the results back—"

"I don't need sex I just want you, I'm coming back with you tomorrow," he smiled kissing my forehead.

"No you aren't, you need to stay here for school, I'll come back to visit when the doctor clears it all up okay, I graduate soon and I need to figure out what I'm doing with my parents' house," I told him. There's no way I'm letting him skip school for me. I need to finish school and so does he.

"You don't want to keep it?"

"I don't know what to do, part of me wants to keep it because It's my childhood but... I also want to sell it, if I'm going to college here then there's no point in keeping it," I said.

"It would be good to keep though, there's nothing here for when spring breaks here or holidays ya know," Max said making a decent point.

"Well I guess that's a fair point," I sighed. I wrapped my arms tighter about his waist and rested my head on his chest. I didn't want anything more than this right now.

You know that one kind of warmth that only a certain person can give you. Yea that's what I'm feeling right now.

"Lets go back to the apartment," Max said slowly stepping forward while I was still against him.

I pulled away and grabbed his hand, "I forgot there was an apartment block that anyone can stay in, I don't know why I thought you and Ryan had a dorm."

"I guess dorm rooms come to everyones heads when college is brought up," Max shrugged.

"Ryan we're gonna go back!" Max called. Ryan called out to wait before him and Lara ran over.

"We'll just all go in the car, also guys ignore the mess we haven't gotten a chance to clean," Ryan said as him and Lara reached us.

"Did you forget I was your sister? I grew up with your piggy ass self," I chuckled, "and Max is my boyfriend sooo..."

"Oh I finally got that title back," Max turned to me with a wide grin on his face. I rolled eyes and pushed his head away.

"Shut up, you knew it was always your title."
