I walk into the old Max's room, Michael trailing behind. I opened the door to the closet, beginning to put all of my new clothes that me and Michael picked out away. 'Why did I wear this stuff' I ask myself while pulling out all of the pink and brightly colored clothes that filled my closet.
"Why" I ask, my back still facing him "Why did you do this"
"What?" He asks, as terror, fear, and anxiety fill his face. Michael asks "Why did I do what?"
I continued "Why did you save this mess" I say, warm tears beginning to blur my vision until I blink. I turn to face him "Why did you save me?!" I scream, a panic attack beginning in my chest.
Michael calms me down from the situation that just happened then he proceeded to answer my question that I asked before I had a panic attack. He started, calm at first but then things got out of hand and he got mad, I tried to calm him down but it didn't work.
"I did it because you meant a lot to me. I know you don't remember anything from the past 4 years, but there are a lot of things they still haven't told you and I-I'm afraid of what you're going to say when they do eventually tell you. I fear you're going to hate me and never want anything to do with me ever again. I refuse to be put into that situation again. You mean way too much for me to lose you a third time. I lost you once as a friend, then because you lost your memory. I will NOT lose you again.. Those two times of me losing you were bad enough as it was and I REFUSE to let go" He says, tears brewing in his eyes, he hugs me and kisses my head like always.
"Tell me" I said, he shook his head at the fact that I wanted to know he looked me dead in the face like I had made the worst decision ever. I begged and then he sighed, he didn't want to tell but he did.
"You don't get it huh?" He chuckled " Max, you aren't looking at the big picture.." his breath hitches "Max" he sighs "I simply.. adore you.. That's why you can't just slip away from me again.."
He loves me too??
