Unexpected

Chapter 8: The truth

Oh God! how am I gonna tell Max? How will he react?! This isn't something you tell another person on a daily basses! He'll hate me! He'll resent me and he'll leave me here and forget about me! And there was nothing I could do to stop him.

Those thoughts ran through my head all at once as the door cracked open.
Max plopped his head through the crack and searched the room until he laid eyes on me. His eyes widened in shock, even though I saw a glimpse of happiness.

''Enthea...Can I come in?'' the enthusiasm in his voice was so clear but it was still buried in sorrow.

I just nodded my head, looking down as I played with my fingers. I heard his footsteps as he walked into the room and closed the door.
He stopped just a few steps away from me, on the side of the bed.

''How are you feeling?'' his words came out as a whisper

''I'm good. My head just hurts a little but other then that I'm fine. how are you?'' my voice were trembling as I hesitated when I spoke.

''Freaked out, furious and scared half to death.'' he talked strong but sorry filled his voice as he talked. His voice was almost as sad as his eyes, but only almost.

''But I want to tell you how the situation is before anything else.'' his voice was stronger but...nervous?

What was he nervous about? OH MY GOD! He's gonna tell me he hates me and that he never wants to see me again! He's gonna tell me he's leaving and never coming back and that he wants me to leave him alone!

Oh please no!

''Okay.'' It came out as barely a whisper. Tears were forming in my eyes and I couldn't look up.

'I want to help you, Enthea. I want you to trust me. I want you to let me care for you cause I do, I care for your safety, your health, your everything. I want you to be happy, healthy, safe, loved. And I know you're already loved by people and I want you to except that one of those people is me. I haven't gotten to talk much to you but by the little time I've had I've started to love you. So please, just let me in. Please let me help you....Please, let me love you''

My head flew up and I looked him in the eye.

His eyes speaks the truth.

His voice speaks the truth.

Something inside me told me to believe him but something else told me not to. Something told me to believe him, to love him, to tell him the truth. But something told me he was lying, that he was just like everybody else, that he would leave me, that he didn't love me, that he was a lier.

I was shocked. Had that just come out of Maxs mouth? He care for me? He loved me?

But how could he? He didn't know me, he had only talked to me once and we were....interrupted.

''I don't know what to say... I don't want to tell you.'' I found myself crying as I spoke, my words coming out between sobs.

''Of course you can tell me, you can tell me anything. Please Enthea, I love you.''

His eyes were pleading me to tell him. I hadn't noticed until now that he had tears building up in his eyes too. Oh God, I didn't want him to cry.

''You don't want to know. You'll just end up leaving me like everyone else and I don't want that to happen.''

''No. I will never leave you, it doesn't mater what's going on cause I will never ever leave you. I love you.''

He had my gaze locked with his. Something in his eyes told me he was telling the truth. But it will only be the truth for now, when I tell him he will change his mind and leave.
