YOU 2 [Charli D'Amelio]

Chapter 155.

"What a way to begin the new year." Max says when she pulls away from our kiss. She rests her forehead against mine.

"Yeah." I say quietly.

I am happy that we are getting better at communicating with one another and managed to resolve a huge conflict without screaming at one another, when sober at least. I am not including last night in my praise.

"I really am sorry, so sorry for saying some of the things that I said." She tells me.

"So am I." I want to tell her how much I love her and how much she means to me, how sorry I am for what I did and that she has no reason to be so insecure but what if I have it all wrong? What if she isn't as insecure as I think she is?

"Are you ready to go back to classes Monday?" She asks.

"Yes, I haven't been in a while. Well not to an actual class so it will be strange to not just drop my work off and leave."

"I would much rather drop my work off than sit in a boring as lecture." She leans against the counter but keeps one hand on my hip.

"Not me."

"Yeah I know, you only miss being the smart one, the show off." She smiles.

"Show off?" I try my best to sound appalled.

"You like to be the one answering all the questions, don't try to deny it. I know you." Max's brow raises and she chuckles.

I love this side of Her. This playful Max is so different than the angry Max who smashes things against our wall.

"Whatever." I immaturely answer and laugh with her

She pulls me closer and brushes her nose gently against mine.

"You put up with so much shit from me." Her voice is soft.

"This time it was my fault, stop taking the blame." I say and she shakes her head.

"It was huh?" She smirks and I swat at her arm.

"What did Dan's sister say after you apologized?" I stare at the wall behind Max when I ask.

"Nothing really, she really didn't care or even really remember when we fucked..our time together I mean." I cringe at the thought of her touching her and her annoyingly shiny hair. Seriously how is it possible to have that shiny of hair? Maybe it is a wig, I hope it is and someone pulls it off..

"Babe?" Harry interrupts me.

"Huh?"

"Did you hear me? What has gotten you so distracted?" She inquires.

"Nothing.." Only being insanely jealous and crazy.

"Charli it was nothing with her, it was one night.. well two but she meant nothing. to me. I only fucked her to piss Dan off. It was nothing like this." She assures me and runs her fingers down my arms slowly.

"I know it wasn't." I say and mean it.

Regardless of the terrible things she says out of anger, she is mine and I am hers. We are not good for one another but we are even worse for anyone else.

"You are everything to me, you know that don't you?" She whispers.

I bring my hand up to her jaw and run my thumb along her bottom lip, focusing on the metal ring.

"I do." I tell her.

"I hope you do, last night was not a good night." She sighs before I press my index finger to her lips to silence her
