Counting The Stars and Scars

*Jaimes POV*

Mike, Tony, Vic and I were all facetiming with Max when I noticed something a little off, "Hey guys, can you leave us alone for a sec" I whispered so Max couldn't hear, they all nodded, "Max we're going to lunch catch you later!" Mike shouted "Love you" all three said at the same time like the twins out the shining but with an extra voice. "Hey Max?" I asked her making her look up from her lap lap, "Hmmm?" She replied, zoning back in to focus on me "What's up? And don't tell me it's nothing because I know when you are upset you have that sad distant look in your eyes" I asked in a concerned kind of tone, "Nothing" I knew she was lying, I could tell from her eyes, "I'm just tired" She lied again, "Max don't do this" I pleaded, I was so worried about her, I miss her and wish I didn't have to leave her but I was back in three days so that's all good. I saw the sadness in her eyes before she adverted her stare back to her lap, "I'm fine" she said looking down, I could tell she was nearly crying as her voice was cracking,she looked back up and all I could do was stare, more worried than I was before, and before I could get a word in edge ways she immediately said"I need to go I'll speak to you later, love you, tell the guys I love them, okay bye" and ended the call, just like that.

It was hard for me not to worry about her, especially when she gavek me reason to, I saw Vic standing behind me on the reflection of my phone. I turned around, "There's something wrong Vic, I can feel it but she won't tell me" he just nodded, "I know, you'll be back as soon as you know it, I promise." I heard Mike and Tony's stool screech across the ground as they got up, "You really love her man, don't you?" Mike asked, I just nodded and headed up stairs, trying my best to get through to Max, but she wouldn't reply to my texts and the phone kept ringing out. I called Vic, "Hello?" He answered, "Hey Vic can you get the guys and yourself to call and text Max, I'm really worried about her man, I don't know this whole thing just feels off?" I said, my voice cracking again as I thought about how sad Max looked on the phone, "Yeah sure no problem, bro" he answered without hesitation, "Great, thanks" I thanked him once again and hung up so I could text Max more, I must have dosed off as I was woken by Tony coming in my room and jumping on me, "GET UP, WE NEED TO RECORD AND EAT!!" he shouted and then stuck his plushy turtle toy in my face, "I'll record, but I'm not hungry" I said in a depressed tone, making my way to the recording studio in the basement.

After we finished recording it was 9pm and I was tired so I headed up to my room while everyone else ordered them selves a pizza, I lay in my bed, on my back in a starfish position flicking through all of the selfies Max and I took together, I could feel my eyes start to burn, tears threatening to fall, so I let them, after 10 minutes of looking through photos, the good, the bad and the ugly and crying, I got to the point that all I wanted to do was sleep, so I fell asleep listening to A Day To Remember- All Signs Point To Lauderdale. Man I miss Max so much, I can't wait to have her back in my arms.
