Chapter 11
“What happened?” He asked quietly, turning to look at her. She took a deep breath.
“She had problems.”
“You got involved in them?”
“Yeah, she just had a shitty life, you know? And she just spiralled out of control.”
“It happens.” Max agreed and she snorted.
“This was…bad…she wouldn’t stop. I couldn’t stop her.” She sighed and Max grabbed her hand.
“I’m sure you did everything you could.”
“Not at first. I thought doing the same things as her would help her see what it was making her be like, that she’d realise and stop it.”
“Drugs?” He assumed and she nodded.
“Drugs and drink. She wasn’t scared of anything.”
“Your dad said you almost went to jail because of her.”
“Wasn’t entirely her fault, most of it was mine, I knew we shouldn’t have got in that car, I knew she couldn’t drive, shouldn’t drive but we did it anyway.”
“What happened?” He asked, concern shining in his eyes and she felt the need to tell someone, so she talked.
“We were always together, best friends and she began to have problems at home. Her dad was abusive and she never told me but I think he did more than she was telling me but she wouldn’t tell anyone else, said he’d threatened to kill her mother if she told.” She paused before going on.
“We fell in with this crowd, Kyle, Sean and a few other guys. Mostly they just went out drinking, having a good time, getting girls, being a nuisance, that sort of thing. Well I was being controlled by my parents and wanted to get back at them. So we hung out with them, drinking, smoking and we were underage. Kyle was too but the others were legal.” She explained and he nodded in response, keeping quiet as she spoke.
“Serena was always the daring one. Silly stuff at first like breaking into the school to trash the staff room etc. Pranks and stuff but then she found this guy who dealt drugs. She got hooked and as things got worse at home, she took more and more drugs. We were at a party one night and she convinced me to take them, I’d had a huge fight with my dad so I wanted to do something I know he’d flip out over if he found out.” She shook her head.
“Someone mentioned a street race and Serena convinced a friend to use his car. She wanted to race but she was so wasted, we both were and we got in the car, tried to race.” She paused, remembering the memories and Max rubbed her knee to calm her.
“I don’t remember much but when I woke up, we’d crashed into a tree, I had a few cuts and bruises, so did Serena. When we got out the car, the car we were racing was flipped on the side of the road. That’s all I remember but the police report said that witnesses had seen our car collide with the other, making us crash into the tree but the other one had flipped and the driver was seriously hurt.”
She stopped and Max sighed.
“It was an accident Liz.”
“It’s an accident that shouldn’t have happened, not if I’d stopped her from getting in that car!” She almost shouted at him.
“We were in so much trouble. Dad’s lawyers got me off on community service but Serena got the blame because she was driving. I felt so bad that my dad wouldn’t help her but he hated her, wanted her to go down for it, he blamed her for me being wasted that night. So after that I was banned from seeing Serena.”
She paused again.
“Dad made me sign a contract, one that made me promise to bring my grades up, graduate, stay clean and sober and go to college far away from Serena. I had to sign it or they’d throw me out. So I did but one night, Serena was released and she came to me. She was psychotic, screaming and shouting about people who weren’t there. Saying someone was trying to kill her. I think it was the withdrawal from the drugs, she’d had no rehabilitation for the drugs and she just lost her mind.” She stopped and felt the tears falling. Max gently wiped them away for her before she continued.
“I was alone at home at the time and she was getting knives out of the kitchen and waving them about at me. Telling me I was like them, that I had to be punished just like her. She told me we had to leave, that I was going with her. I was scared and I managed to tell her I needed to change my clothes before we left and when I went upstairs I called the police. I didn’t know what to do but I had to get her help!” She was sobbing and Max pulled her in for a hug.
“It’s ok Liz, you did the right thing.”
“I know but I was all she had and I turned my back on her.” She sobbed and he waited for her to calm down before asking her,
“What happened after that?”
“The police came, I had told them that she was psychotic and they’d brought some orderlies from the psychiatric hospital with them. I told Serena it was our friends at the door so I could let them in and when she saw who it was she didn’t go mad like I thought she would. She just turned to me and she didn’t have to say anything, the look in her eyes was disappointment. She knew what I’d done and she hated me for it.” She paused to wipe her eyes.
“They took her that night and she’s been there for three years. I tried for a month to get in touch with her, wrote letters that were sent back, called the hospital to be told she was going through therapy and wasn’t allowed visitors yet. I tried Max but they wouldn’t let me near her, all I wanted to do was let her know that I did it because I loved her, she was my best friend and no one else would help her!” She sobbed again and he hugged her close. Stroking her head soothingly.
“Then this letter today, she blames me for not being in touch but she doesn’t know that my dad hasn’t passed on the letters and I’m scared at what she’ll to herself.” She started crying and they sat there for a while, Max comforting Liz as much as he could.
“I’m so sorry Liz, it can’t have been easy for you.” He murmured and she nodded. Taking deep breaths and smelling Max’s delicious scent.
They stayed like that for a few minutes before Max spoke.
“Let’s go have a drink.” He suggested and she nodded, pulling away and wiping her eyes. She used the mirror in the car to make sure her make-up wasn’t all over her face as Max drove towards town. She directed him and when they park she turned to him.
“I didn’t get to say thank you.” She began and he frowned at her.
“For covering for me in front of Alex and Izzy. I know you didn’t want to lie to your parents. So thank you.”
“I couldn’t let you get found out. I’ve seen what your dad is like, I couldn’t let that happen to you.” He answered honestly and she smiled.
“Still, I know it wasn’t easy.” She answered and the got out of the car, followed by Max.
They went to a club Liz had directed him too. The music was loud and lights flashed everywhere. It was packed full of dancing bodies that they had to squeeze through to get to the bar. Max ordered for them, getting two strong drinks, knowing Liz needed to relax after what she’d told him.
“Want to dance?” Liz shouted at Max after their third drink. He nodded and followed her into the crowd. In the middle of the dance floor they began dancing, laughing at each other and having a good time together. Liz found herself feeling completely comfortable with Max, despite not knowing him a few days before, he had the ability to make her feel at ease around him. She also found her feelings towards him growing, it was no longer just an attraction to his looks, no now it was something more, something deeper.
The crowd was pushing them closer together and soon they were practically dancing on top of each other, Liz loved the feel of Max’s hands on her waist. She looked up, glancing around the crowded dance floor and in the distance, near the bar was a familiar face, taking to another familiar face. Liz smiled and leaned up to shout in Max’s ear.
“I can see Kyle over there, I’m going to say hi, want to come?” He nodded and followed her through the crowd to where Kyle was stood with a blonde woman.
“Hey!” Liz shouted as she came up to them and Kyle smiled back at her.
“Hey Liz! Max.” He nodded at Max and Liz hugged the woman beside him.
“This is Kyle’s girlfriend, Tess.” Liz turned to shout back at him and Tess simply held up her hand, showing the expensive diamond ring on her finger.
“It’s fiancee now!” She shouted and Liz stared open mouthed at them both, Tess beaming from ear to ear and Kyle looking like he was the luckiest guy in the world.
“Congratulations.” Max shouted to Kyle, shaking his hand and them shaking Tess’s hand too.
“Thanks, nice to meet you finally.” Tess beamed at him and he smiled, nudging a silent Liz. She shook her shock off and threw her arms around Tess, then Kyle.
“Congratulations, I’m so happy for you both. It’s such a shock!” She babbled and they both laughed at her.
“When did it happen?” She asked and Tess was eager to fill her in. Kyle and Max went to the bar to order drinks and once they had some they all made their way to another part of the club, where they found a table and the thump of the music wasn’t as loud. They could talk instead of shouting to each other. The girls talked about the proposal and weddings whilst Kyle turned to Max.
“So how long have you and Lizzie been together?”
“A few months.” Max said and took a drink.
“She’s happy.” Kyle said as a statement rather than asking and Max nodded.
“She seems to be, yes.”
“No she is, I’ve never seen her this happy. You must be doing something right.”
“Hmm.” Max took another drink to keep from answering, what was he supposed to say anyway? Well I’ve been pretending to be her boyfriend for a few days now but actually I kind of like it and wish I wasn’t pretending?
Kyle was staring at him, taking a drink from his beer bottle and it was making Max feel uncomfortable. Finally Max broke the silence.
“What?”
“You love her.” Kyle stated and smiled as Max turned red. He couldn’t say no now could he?
“Yeah.” He nodded and Kyle slapped him on the back.
“I knew it, just make sure she stays this happy.” He warned and Max nodded, looking over at Liz where she was animatedly talking to Tess and laughing. She really was beautiful.
Liz caught Max staring at her, his eyes burning into hers and the fire in her body ignited and made her burn for him. She didn’t know why she was having these intense feelings for Max but one thing she did know, was that they weren’t going to go away.
