the red thread (maximilian philipp fanfic) prologue

2014 (dates aren’t accurate)

The legend points out that there is an invisible thread that joins your heart with the people you are destined to meet in your life, this thread is unbreakable, but it can be twisted, tangled, and it can be stretched, but it can’t be broken. It is also said that once you met with the people that you were destined to meet, it will affect your profoundly.

Maximillian was only 20 when he met Emily, he wasn’t expecting to find her, at that age he was not really a person that believed in loved, he was focused in one thing and only that thing. He wanted to be a professional football player, just like he promised to his father, long before the illness took him. It became its most important goal, and when he fell in love with that blue-eyed girl, the plans went straight to the trash, or that is what he thought.

On the other hand, we have Emily, the blue-eyed girl that took Max’s heart, she arrived in Germany at the age of 16, soon after the death of her parents. Since she was a minor she had to go and live with Lukasz, her older brother and the only family she had left, the thing was that Lukasz had a family on his own now, he was way older than she was so his life was more organized than hers. He was married with Ewa, a polish girl that was a really nice person, she wasn’t mean and was always trying to help Emily in everything she might need. But Emily didn’t want help, she felt like she was interfering with Lukasz life, and all she wanted to do was to get away from that house and try to find her own life. Because of this, as soon as Emily finished school and turned 18, she moved to Berlin to study in the University, there was where she met Maximillian Phillip.

Emily has been through a lot in her life, she was only 18 at the time, but she seemed so much mature, I mean you would look like more mature as well if you had lost your parents and even worse if you had been in the same car with them the day they had the accident. Emily was lucky to turned out alive, as a constant reminder of the accident she had the scars, they weren’t that big, but they were there and that was enough to maintain Emily’s self-stem extremely low, most of these scars, at least the most noticeable were on her abdomen, reason why she would never wear clothes that showed her stomach. Apart from the physical injuries that she suffered, there were still some psychological issues that she has been dealing with, such as depression and anxiety, therapy has helped her a little, she felt better, but there were still days in which she didn’t want to leave her bed.

Max kind of understood her, he had also lost his father, it wasn’t in a car accident like in Emily’s case, but it was shocking for him, he admired his dad and their relationship, they got along really well, so, when he got sick and they found out there was not a cure for his illness, they started to get ready for what was coming, but Max was not completely ready when he died, I mean you are never ready to say goodbye to a love one, but he died way earlier from which he was supposed to. All of this drove Max to start going to therapy, he could’ve talked with his mother, but he was never a person that would talk about his feelings, and on the other hand he didn’t want to bother her, since she was going through the same plain he was in.

They never met in the office of the Dr Meyer, both went to the same therapist, but life have some other plans for the people, so they ended up meeting in a bar. Emily, advised by the therapist, was trying to go out more often, to have fun outside of her apartment, the doctor told her that she should start doing the things she used to enjoy, like singing, she was a great singer growing up and that always help her to keep her mood up, she would sing at school and at home while doing the house chores, but ever since the death of her parents she stopped singing, it was like she couldn’t find her own voice, and that’s exactly what she was trying to do now, she wanted to sing again and she tried to do it at home, but she would feel too depressed, and somehow she imagined that showing up to a bar, full of strangers that had their eyes all over her, she was so silly from time to time, there were a karaoke bars some of them don’t have the enormous quantity of people that the bar in which Emily and Max would met. The blonde girl was wearing a sundress, even when it was a little cold outside, she didn’t seem to be cold at all, the red of the dress sort of highlighted the pale of her skin, she had some freckles on her face, and Max found it so cute in her. She was tiny, I mean he wasn’t fat himself, he wasn’t super muscular neither, but he wasn’t as tiny as she was, she looked like a doll, and that completely caught his attention. When she finally got on the mini stage in which she would sing, he couldn’t keep his eyes away from her, it was like she was singing to him.

That was the beginning of the end for Emily, but none of them knew that at that time, because you never know that you are going to meet the person that is going to break you in little pieces, on the contrary, everything seems to be quite beautiful at the beginning. He invited her a drink after she went out of the stage, since he noticed that she was alone there, she was a loner, and so was he. They talked a little, just a little, because both of them were shy, he complimented her and enjoyed as her cheeks flushed.

Less than a week later they were on their first date, going to a café, they were still shy, but less than at the beginning, they talked and talked for hours, until the sun went to sleep and give its realm to the moon. Max walked her to her apartment, and she kissed his cheek before getting in the building. The German would have liked that the Polish had kissed his lips, but they would have other dates for that.

The following week, they went on another date, this time was the cinema, they both had a hard time finding the right movie that they would want to watch, both they both agreed on watching a comedy, it was a quite especial date, they were in silence while watching the movie, but the girl could notice how Max put her eyes on her instead of on the movie, which made her cheeks turn red, thank to the darkness of the room, he didn’t quite notice this, but he would have thought this was cute, most of Emily was cute to him. After the cinema, he invited her to eat something, he didn’t want to separate from her just yet.

More dates came, and they started to get used to be together, they would text or call each other, Max would go for Emily to the university and they would spend the rest of the day together, till this point Max was playing by the local club so he didn’t had to leave the city that much, so he could spend a lot of time with her. They never put a name to their relationship, because he never asked, but they were certainty a couple, Max knew everything from Emily and Emily knew most of Max’s story. Soon they started sharing a bed, and not only for sleeping purposes, Max would stay for hours looking at her sleeping after they had just made love, at first, Emily would not let Max see her naked, she would turn off the lights, but Max made sure she would feel safe enough like to show him every one of her insecurities. Emily felt like if she had been with Max for far more that it had really been, she was so in love with him and she never thought she would love someone as much as she loved Maximillian. Max loved her too, but he didn’t love her enough to leave his dreams behind because of her, and the minute he got a call from Freiburg, he could not say no, it was a huge step in his career. He thought about telling Emily about it, he even thought about asking her to go with him, but he didn’t really want her to leave all behind her for him, mostly because they weren’t even official yet, so he just left. No goodbye, not even a warning about it, he left Berlin and he never came back.

Emily found it weird when he didn’t answer his messages or calls in more than three days, at first she thought he could be busy and that he didn’t answered because of that, after around a week she went over to his place and nobody opened the door. It was a huge fall out for Emily, she was used to be with the German, to spend more of her days with him, she didn’t expect him to disappear like that.

She wasn’t feeling well, she had turned into a completely different person while she was with Max, and she didn’t know if she could be that person without the German around, she stopped eating, not completely, but she didn’t really feel hungry, and she didn’t feel like eating like at all, instead of having 4 meals a day, she would eat a fruit, or nothing at all. For the same reason she wasn’t feeling like doing much, she barely got out of the bed, she started missing classes, she missed sessions with the therapist. When her brother came to visit her, mainly because Dr Meyer had called him because he was worried about the Polish girl, he found her in her apartment, she was passed out in the bed, her pulse was weak, her skin was more than pale, and she looked really sick. Lukasz took her to the hospital running, she was dehydrated, due to her not eating for the past month or so, the doctor couldn’t really tell how much time she was in that position. When she woke up she was disorientated, and she didn’t really know how she got there.

Lukasz tried to talk to her, but she said she didn’t remember what got her there, she didn’t remember why she got to that extreme. She said the same thing to the Psychologist, and after a great number of meetings from in which all of the doctors that had treated Emily, they ended up that she could not live alone anymore, at least not until she was emotionally stable. Lukasz took her to Dortmund, Ewa wasn’t really happy about it, but Emily was his little sister and he couldn’t leave her alone once again.

Emily was doing a little bit better, Lukasz was always trying to keep an eye on her, but Ewas was pregnant with their second child, and the things were still a little tense between Emily and Ewa, and it got worse with the pregnancy, so Lukasz looked for a place in which Emily could live, since he didn’t want his wife to get stressed and he didn’t think that the situation was beneficial for Emily.

The girl understood why Lukasz had to do that, and she didn’t say nothing about it, because she felt like she wasn’t in the position to tell a word, she was the one who was in the way of her brother’s family and Lukasz was only doing a favour to her because she was not a real person anymore, at least that’s how she felt.
