“ i’m here. you got that? i don’t care if you never say anything to me ever again. i don’t care. i’m not going away, and i’m not going to stop being here for you, no matter how long you glare at me or ignore me or pretend that you’re okay. because i know you’re not. i know. “ ( From Lucas ofc )
His words stung, stabbed deep, but she wouldn’t allow him to see the pain they caused. They were supposed to have the opposite effect on her. Max should be consumed with a bliss that she’s never felt before. Knowing that the only man she’s ever loved isn’t, and won’t give up on her. “Lucas..” She whispered, taking a step backwards. This was all too much, this scared her. “-- Don’t waste your time on me, please.. I can’t. I can’t give you what you need. What you deserve.” Her words came out soft, very unlike her usual self. Max didn’t want to hurt him, god she wanted to run into his arms and just hold herself to him. “I lost everything, I can’t risk it, a glimmer of hope.. Just for it to be ripped from my grasp. Lucas, you need to let me go.”
