Chapter 10 - part 2: chapter 10

Stab, stab, tab* Max woke from his nightly dose of night mares today it was different, he didn't tell me or even talk to me. Max and I have always been close but not lately. Recently Max has been cold and distant towards me, I didn't do anything this time and after everything you would think we would be closer than ever. Wrong! Ever since he had a nightmare and I woke up to him panting and sweating he's been closed off. I walked over to Max and I pushed him down onto the couch as I stood before him "what's wrong?" Max looked at me with a blank face before he said "I don't know... I'm sorry" I smiled at his words but I couldn't help but feel like something was off, what could be wrong? We moved into a new house? We got all new things? We're in a safe town? Your brothers behind bars?

As Max slowly started warming up to me again, I got hit by an idea "max! max! max! we should go shopping and go to our neighbours party" I thought it would be a good idea because it would get us both out of the house and he could maybe meet someone. I looked over at Max and I could tell her was in deep thought about what I said, he was probably thinking about the night he heard Zach have a party when he was locked in that shed, "alright but not for too long alright?" he said before he stood up. I smiled and jumped up and down excitedly, Max seeing this he couldn't help but let out a small chuckle at my actions.

We arrived at the shopping centre, I walked into this one shop full of beautiful dresses and Max followed behind me, as I looked through the many racks only one dress stuck out and that was this short back long sleeved dress it was perfectly fitted and had little strings on either side of the dress that made it tighter. I felt like the dress was a bit childish but I couldn't help but feel a connection, I walked into the changing room and I put on the dress tying the strings into little ribbons. I walked out of the changing room wearing the dress to see what Max thought, he looked me up and down before looking at my eyes again, I did a little spin when he chuckled "looks great darling" did he just call me darling?! I blushed a little before walking back into the changing room getting changed back into my casual clothes.

Max searched for some clothes but we couldn't find anything until I found this gorgeous suit, it was the last one left and it was in his exact size, its like it was meant to be. I shoved the suit into Max's chest looking him in the eye, he walked into the changing room and got changed before walking out and mocking me by doing a little childish spin "what do you think" he said in a deep voice. The suit fitted him so well, you could see his muscles show through his shirt and he just looked so hot. "You look great" I said before he chucked a cash pile on the cashier's desk and said keep the change before walking out with my dress in hand and his suit still on.

We got home and began getting ready, I put on my dress with some black heels that made my legs look stunning, I didn't put too much make up on but I did apply some fake lashes, lipstick and a little blush that made my face look almost as if I was wearing a full face of makeup. I walked out of my room standing before Max the big hide difference caused me to look up to him as he stared down wearing his suit with his hair ruffled.
