Sirens (Cheryl fanfic)

Chapter 75

Max's P.O.V.
Stay in bed.

That was mam's order. It's already half past six in the afternoon and after a welcome party earlier..I was exhausted. My left chest was on fire but a part of me is happy that it's on fire cause that just tells me that I'm alive and the why its hurting.  I never thought of getting through my heart disease.. and all thanks to the one who really owns this heart. I never had asked my parents actually who was the one who donated and maybe later I will.

"Wacky, have you been a good boy?" I said petting him. He was hype when I came home and I was just so tired that I can't play with him yet. He moved closer and licked my face making me giggle.

"You know you're getting bigger now..." He let out a bark making me smile at the same time my parents walked making me look up and smile.

"Hey" Mum whispered as I slowly sit up.  I glanced at mam and I notice she has something behind her back.

"Babe how are you feeling?" Mum said as they both sat on the bed.

"Better. Have they all gone home?" Mum nodded and I notice something in the atmosphere.. They both look guilty..

"We just want to return this to you." I frowned but my heart dropped when mam placed my tape recorder in front of me.

I've gone mute as I stared at the object infront  of me. How did they find this, Last thing I remember I hid this.

"Babe.."

"How did this get to you?" I whispered as I slowly took it. I felt trapped. This was suppose to be a secret. They weren't suppose to have this until I die.

"Let us explain." I shot my head up and look at mam..I felt a lump on my throat as I see tears daring to come out of her eyes. That's when I got it..They listened to it..

"I-I was in your wardrobe cause I decided to grab your favorite sweater when that fell off...I didn't know what to do and why you have something like that..so I went back to Katy to che-"

"You listened to this?" I was mad. Cause I feel like a pathetic person. My parents thought I was strong but all my worries and weaknesses are revealed. This was suppose to be listened to when I'm gone..so I won't have to hear what they will say or think.

"M-Max."

"Can I be alone for a while..." I muttered taking my tape recorder placing it on the bedside table then lay back in bed turning away from them.

"Maxene..Why are you being like this. Why is there an issue if we listened to it or not." Mum sighed. I can already hear sniffs in the room and it was making me emotional too.

"Fine, you won't answer.. You're going too far on this young lady and its not making the whole situation better." I shut my eyes and just hear their footsteps fading from my room and when I can't hear them anymore that's when I broke down. Another reason why I can't let them hear my tape was I don't want to make my mother cry...That was my deepest weakness.

Cheryl's P.O.V.

It was already eleven in the evening. Katy was fast asleep beside us..I can't sleep. I keep thinking about Max. She didn't come down to dinner earlier and I was still curious on why she was upset for us listening to her tape. Its not like there are confidential well in fact, it was all addressed to the both of us..

Katy got into a bad mood because of that. She won't talk and was sulking, she didn't even sajd goodnight to us or give us a kiss before deciding to sleep and it was kind of irritating but I understand.

Then I heard clattering downstairs making my heart race. I listened carefully and the noise is really coming from downstairs. I froze as I hear my heart beating out of my chest. There's no way a theif had got in the house..Cause I remember locking up downstairs earlier.
