Chapter 10 The kiss before doom

Max

Max: "Do you think he believed you?"

Nathan: "I doubt that... He's crazy that he couldn't find you. And I'm not surprised..."

Max: "What?"

Nathan: "I mean... I'm glad I found you first. If Jefferson did... I don't even want to think about it."

Max: "Me neither but... Ahem... You? found me? First of all, I found you... and second... you're both really bad at finding people." I chucked.

Nathan: "Be glad for that." He didn't want to laugh much... I could feel that his body was engulfed in fear and anxiety.

Max: "We should go now before he starts to suspect us..." I almost whispered and waited for his reaction.

He took a long breath and sighed...

Nathan: "Okay, let's go." He took my hand and we left my room.

Before we left the building Nathan stops.

Nathan: "Max please wait here... I just want to check my room. I'll be back in a minute." I don't want to let him go but I slowly release his hand from my grip. Okay... I leaned against the wall and waited for him.

Nathan

I wasn't happy that I'm bringing Max to that asshole, but she's right... It's our only chance if I want to help Vic. I know she could be such a bitch but she was the only one who was here for me. My only friend... That's why I have to help her!

Also... Something is telling me that Max knows what she's doing, but still... What if something goes wrong?

What if it's the last time I can tell her how I truly feel? I think I like her from the beginning... From that moment I saw her for the first time but... But because of the shits that were happening to me around... I was blind. It makes me sometimes forget who I truly was!

I know I can't go back now. I just wish I could change my past with some crazy and awesome power.

I took a deep breath... I have to tell her. Now or never. If there's a chance that I won't have an option in the future to tell her I must now.

I didn't even go to my room. I just turned and went back to my Max with a feeling I can't describe it. It just makes my chest heavier.

Max: "Wowser speedy."

Nathan: "Only If I could magically control the time." I chucked. "That will be fun." Max looked at me with a smile.

Max: "No... It wouldn't." She whispers as she was leaving through the door.

Did I say something wrong?

Nevermind...

Max

We went outside. I didn't expect that this insane day would have a beautiful night like this. The cool wind was playing with my hair, the fireflies were flying around us, and even through that dark, we could see everything, especially each other... Two moons and stars were shining in the dark sky. I wanted to take a photo of every single thing at this moment. And if I mean every single thing, I'm also talking about Nathan. The dark and the fireflies around him were showing his good side. His eyes were blue like an ocean but also full of fear. I know he's scare.

It keeps bothering him for so long. The stress and unhappiness change him... I sigh... I just... I just don't want anyone to keep hurting him all the time... I actually care for him, but not like a friend... something... more. I think he maybe feels the same but I'm too shy to make the first step.
