Counting The Stars and Scars

*Max's POV*

I was just about to leave when I felt a tug on my hand, I turned around and looked at Jaime questioningly, ""Promise me you won't hurt yourself tonight?" He asked in a concerning tone, I nodded, "I promise" I beamed at him, we were staring at each other and then I saw him leaning in, I knew what was about to happen, but I didn't want to stop it. He kissed me,on the lips, and all I could do was relax into it and kiss back, I was in awe when we pulled away. I could feel my self starting to blush and go red as I was jumping out I turned back to him, "Thank you for today" I whispered sincerely, I got a comforting smile from him, I stared at him and his cute dimples before grabbing my bag and running in my house, unlocking the door, and then locking it again, I collapsed behind the door sliding down it, thinking about what just happened, then my stomach growled to I went to grab an apple when a thought came to me, I didn't hear him pulling out the drive I turned the living room light on and peered out of the curtains, watching him as he backed out and drove away.

I skipped to the kitchen, feeling the happiest I had felt in a long time. I grabbed an apple and a glass of water and headed up stairs locking the doors and turning the lights out and my fairy lights on, I ate the apple as I scrolled through my Instagram, seeing the picture Jaime put up of me, you couldn't see my face but I still looked fat, I locked my phone, threw my apple core in the trash, put my hair up and brushed my teeth, I then got changed into my pyjamas, I turned my television on and saw that X-Men was on, I must have fell asleep because when I woke up at 2:30am there were people trying to sell overpriced products that no one would actually use. I turned the TV off and opened my window, the air wasn't cold but it was cooling, I climbed out of my window and on top the roof using the tree as support. I used to do this all the time when I was younger and couldn't get to sleep. I always done it when my parents were asleep though as they would murder me if they knew I was up here. I sat and watched the stars, I started to think back to when me and my grandma would go camping trips and sit and watch the stars all the time, I could feel myself start to cry but I didn't care no one could see me.

I was in a daydream watching the stars when I was startled by someone shouting my name, "Max, hey Max, down here!" I looked down and saw Mike standing at the foot of my garden fence, "Mike? What are you doing out so late or early or I don't even know I'm still half asleep?" I whispered loud enough for him to hear me, "I normally go walks when I can't sleep, why are you on the roof?" he asked tilting his head side ways, "I normally come up here when I can't sleep", He just nodded and replied with a simple, "Awwwhhhhh" like he understood my struggles of Insomnia. Then I looked back down and we gone, weird. I then heard him, "It's nice up here isn't it?" I jumped in fright, "You gotta stop doing that" I breathed out a laugh, "Sorry" he giggled like a school girl.

We were sat there talking for ages as I lay my head on his shoulder, he told me everything about him and I told him everything about me, well, almost everything, I told him my Grandma died when I was 15 and I used to go out with Jason, I also told him Jaime and I kissed and he was being so childish about it and obviously other irrelevant things. Soon we were watching the sunrise and decided to get back to our own beds, "I don't want Momma Fuentes going mental at me again, Vic and I will be around at 7:45am to pick you up for school, is that okay?" I just nodded and climbed back in my window, "Bye, Mike!" I shouted "Bye MRS PRECIADO!!" He roared, I shushed him and them stuck up the middle finger after calling him 'fucker'. I love my new best friend, sometimes.
