I Promise You, Someday

*Max's POV*

I quickly pulled away from Tony, grabbed my pyjamas and ran into the bathroom, locking the door, I sat down on her floor and pulled my legs up to my chest, starting to cry at the thought of having to face and finish things with Jaime, I was brought out of my thoughts when there was a quiet knock on the door, "Max?" Tony said softly, I didn't reply, "Max baby, open the door and tell me what's wrong?" He said again, I shook my head, "I'm fine!" I shouted back, my voice cracking as I started to cry harder, "You're not fine hunny, open the door" he said, I shook my head again, "No" I cried out, I feel so stupid, so pathetic and useless, I looked around, everything was so blurry, finally I spotted a razor on the sink and slowly got up, I walked over and studied it carefully before throwing it on the floor and putting a towel over it and standing on it, forcefully, there was a massive crack sound as the razor broke, "Max? What was that?" Tony asked concerned, I ignored him, "Max open the door, now!!" He shouted banging on the door, I walked back to the corner I was in before and sat down, looking at my wrist, I've been clean for over 3 and a half years and this was ir, this was my breaking point. I zoned out as Tony banged on the door, shouting as I closed my eyes and slid the tiny, silver blade across my forearm leaving spots of blood that all merged together. One cut, two cut, three cut, four, by the time I was finished I had at least seven new, fresh and open cuts up my fore arm.

As I sat there in silence letting the blood flow I heard a rattling and suddenly the bathroom door was flung open and Tony came rushing in with bandages, "Max!! Are you still there!?" I heard him say as I opened my eyes and looked at him, emotionless and drained, I nodded, he sighed and bent down, starting to wipe up the blood and bandage my cuts, "I want to die!! I don't want to be here!! I just want to die!" I cried as he hugged me close after bandaging my arm up, "I know baby, I know" he said kissing my forehead and carrying me to the bed, setting me down and lying beside me, after 10 minutes of comfortable silence Tony finally spoke up, "What happened?" He sighed moving a strand of hair out of my and playing with it, "Jaime" was all I said, he realized what I meant and sighed at me, "You don't have to do it alone, I'll be there, okay?" He said, grabbing my hips and pulling me closer, he turned me around so that I was molded into his body and he was spooning me, I nodded as he rested his head on the back of my shoulder, kissing it, "I love you" he said, I smiled a little, "I love you too, Tone" I said before I got up again, "Where are you going?" Tony asked in a rush, worried obviously, "I'm just going to put my pyjamas on and get some water" I laughed getting up and heading to the bathroom once more to put my pyjamas on. As I was downstairs I decided to text Jaime to tell him to meet me tomorrow because I wanted to do this alone. I know Tony said he'd be there but this isn't his mess. I made my way back up the stairs, thankfully, Tony was already sleeping, I carefully slipped myself back into the spooning position we were in before and grabbed my phone, looking for Jaime's name.


*Jaime's POV*

I was lying in bed after another restless day of doing nothing apart from worrying about Max and Alex, Zach took her away for a couple of days as she was starting to miss Max. I'm starting to miss Max too, her and Alex are all I have, all I am, I don't know what I'd do if I lose them. As I was nearly asleep when my phone buzzed and lit up, I reached over and looked at it, there was a message from Max,

From- My baby <3
Jaime, we need to meet and talk tomorrow, meet me at the Starbucks around from our house at 3pm, good night, love you <3 <3

To- My baby <3
Okay baby, I love you too, night <3 <3

I was so glad I heard from her all I wanted was a sign she's alright, and she's safe and I guess this was it. I knew that I wouldn't be able to get to sleep now that I know I'm getting to see her tomorrow so I got up and walked down stairs to make myself a cup of coffee, this was going to be a long night.

Notes

This is a little shorter but yeah...

Has Max gone back to her old ways?
