My Secret

Max's P.O.V
I went into the kitchen and grabbed some; chicken, spices, breadcrumbs, parmesan, spaghetti sauce, eggs, milk, potatoes, and spinach. I was almost done breading the chicken, the sauce and spinach already on the stove, when the doorbell rang. "Hey! Can one of you get the door?" I heard someone get up and go to the door, "Hey Max! This guy needs you to sign a package!". "Zayn! Go watch the stove, make sure the food is alright!" I ran to the door, "Thanks Liam." The Post-Man gave me a small box, "Max! How ya doin', baby doll? Haven't seen you since your parents...died. Remember me?". I studied his features, "UNCLE LANDO!? Is it really you!". He smiled my favorite smile when I was a small child, "Yep! The one and only! I need to go but I'll stop by sometime and here," he wrote on a spare piece of paper and handed it to me, "this is for when you want to talk or text me without me coming to your house." I hugged Lando, signed the box, and ran to the kitchen to finish making dinner. "Aren't you gonna open it?" Niall asked from behing me. "Not yet. I'll wait till' after dinner, okay?". He nodded and the guys joined the room. "Mmm, smells good Max!" Louis said poking me in the back. I chuckled, "Thanks. Wash up guys, dinner's done!"
*During Dinner*
"Oh. My. God! This is so, uh!" Niall managed to say with a mouth full of food. "Mate, stop making sex noises and eat your dinner. It's getting uncomfortable in here." Ivory had came back when the guys were setting the table. "So Ivory. What'd you do when you were out?" Harry asked. "Oh, nothing really. Just shopping for little things that we needed." Harry nodded. I spoke up, "Hey guys? How about we play a question game? Nothing with alcohol though, don't wanna get drunk....now." I whispered the last word quietly but Liam managed to hear me and raise an eyebrow. "Yeah! That'd be cool." Zayn said.
*After Dinner*
The guys went to go get some stuff for their sleepover, leaving me and Ivory alone. "Hey Ivory? Can you go set up their beds and stuff?". "Yeah, no problem!". She was way to cheery for me, all I wanted to do was sleep. I went to my room and picked out shorts and a Star Wars shirt. I turned on my playlist, turned off my lights, got under my covers, and darkness soon took over me.
*Dream*
"Mum! Daddy! Can you take James and I to the park pwease?" My 3 year old self said. "Haha, okay sweetheart. Uncle Lando will be coming with us." Mum said. I hugged her tightly, her hands running through my hair. We were at the park, Daddy giving James a piggyback ride and Uncle Lando giving me a piggy back ride too. "James! I can see the wittle sqwurriels!" I squealed. "Same here Max! They're so cool!". The setting changed, I was in the school's bathroom crying in a corner. A knock came from the door, "Max? Can I come in? Please?" I crawled to the door and opened it. "Max sweetie, what'd the plastics do?". "T-they got their boyfriends to hit and k-kick me." I sniffed. "Max, please look at me." I looked up and saw Sam, I smiled. "Sam." He smiled. The setting changed again, this time I was walking at night time. Someone came from behind me and grabbed my butt. I whipped around and glared at the person. "M-Max babe. Chill." Sam slurred. "Sam, come on. We're going home and getting you to bed." "Fuck no babe! We're going to an ally!" He grabbed my hand and twisted it. An ear piercing scream erupted from my throat. With my free hand I punched Sam in the face, "You know what Sam! We're over! Don't bother contacting me, at all!" I bit his arm that held my wrist. He let go and I ran, not bothering to stop or look behind me. The setting changed into a very depressing one. I was on the couch crying with a letter in my hand. It was about Mum, Dad, and James' death. My door opened and there stood the one and only Sam. "M-max? A-are you okay?" Sam said shakily. I shook my head. He sat on the couch and wrapped an arm around me. We sat there in silence for a couple of minutes until he spoke up, "So, uh Max? Do you want to go out with me? Give me another chance please?". I thought about it for a second before I decided, "Sam, I want to, I really want to. But I can't, not while I'm like this. If any of us breaks each others heart, then I will be done. I can't deal with anything else than picking myself up. I'm sorry." I looked at Sam, but he was avoiding eye contact with me. He stood up and walked to the door, "You know what? I'll make you pay for ever saying no to me.". With that he opened the door and slammed it behind him. The setting changed to a very familliar one. I was shoved to the ground, my books and papers were scattered everywhere. "Watch where your going next time, bitch!" I looked up at the one and only Sam. I swear he has it out for me. "Why don't you go fuck yourself like you always do!" I stood up and punched him square in the jaw. His eyes filled with anger and he punched me to the point where I started coughing out blood. THAT *punch* IS *kick* WHAT *punch* YOU GET SLUT!" He stood up and walked away, I got up and kicked him on the back to the point where he fell down. "WELL YOU KNOW WHAT? FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! WHY DO YOU DO THIS? HUH? WHY!" I ran to my papers and books, collected them, and ran down the street. I ended up getting lost and found myself in an alley. "Fuck, just fucking great!" I saw a street lamp at the end of the alley so I started to head towards there. Two guys came into the alley, whistling and calling me some words. I turned around and ignored there comments. A truck blocked my way out. The passenger side opened and there stood Sam, with a gun in his hand. I looked around, HOW DO I GET OUT!? I turned around and the guys from behind both held knives. I gulped, this could not end well. The alleyway was to thin to spread my wings and fly out. I tried to shove past the guys but I ended up with a slash on my arm. "Well, well, well. What do we have here?" I turned to Sam and looked him dead in the eyes. "None of your god fucking damn business! Now go before something happens to where I regret it!" "Dex, Ryan. Show her some manners!" The Dex guy pinned me to the floor, smirking. He held the knife to my thigh, skimming the area. I shook my head violently, hoping he would give in to my "charms" ;). But with no luck, the blade pierced my skin and dragged deeper in my thigh. My back arched, the pain causing me to shake. I was kicked, punched, and stabbed repeatedly. I had let out many ear piercing screams. "Sam come on! The cops are coming!" The guys ran to the truck, but Sam stayed behind. He bent down to me and whispered; "Think next time you turn me down, slut." He pointed the gun to my stomach and pulled the trigger. I passed out, blood pooling around me. "Max! Wake up! Please, wake up!"
*End of Dream*
I shot up, feeling many pairs of eyes on me. I was hot and sticky, guess I had to take ANOTHER shower. I wiped my eyes, feeling many tears. "Max? Are you okay?" Liam took my hand in his, looking me in the eye. I cleared my throat, "Uh, yeah. I uh, need to take a shower. Please don't take my clothes this time." I got up and stretched, my wings came out because it was like a pressure point when I stretched. "Max. What was your dream about." I stopped at the doorway of my bathroom. "You see, it wasn't a dream." I went in without saying another word.
