Across The Stars

Chapter 2: Moving day, saying hello again...learning to say I love you again. Fighting with your best friend...how can I even go back to loving him now?

 

~Maxine's P.o.V.~

I finished taping up the last box and looked around my room. The only thing left was the hideous wallpaper and the bedroom set. I sat down on the empty matress, which I would also be taking, and fell backwards, sighing. All my life since I was about 15, I'd vowed to be out of the house by the time I turned 18. I'd taken up on an acceptance to college in state about four hours away. My promise to myself wouldn't be broken...and it was the same college that Kim went to. They didn't know Kim was there... and I got freedom. I smirked slightly and whispered it,"Freedom..." It amazed me how important that word was. Utterly important...to me at least. The doorbell rang and I jumped up. It was the movers, to haul off my boxes. I would be driving the truck for the four hour drive, then it was total freedom. I found some paper and a pen and wrote a note for my family,"Mama and Marlon, I'm off! I'll call later tonight or tomorrow morning, so as to get settled, to give you my dorm number. If I can't, because of long distance, I'll drop you a quick e-mail or IM. Love you lots, Max" I sighed and walked out, locking the door.

~three hours later...~

I was lost. I didn't know how I managed to get lost, but I was. I was in the middle of who knew where, in a U-Haul truck. It sucked. Plus, my cell phone wouldn't let me make calls, so I was relying on someone else to call me. Right when I thought it, the phone rang. Ugly by The Excies played so right away I jumped up and answered,"Kim, save me," I said. "...Uh...do you wanna talk to Kim..?" the voice on the other side of the line asked. "Who's this?" I asked. "...you don't recognize the voice, eh?" he asked. I stuttered, I DID recognize the voice,"I...I...I-I-InuYasha?" I asked softly. "Hey. Are...are you okay?" he asked. "Um...y-yea...I-I'm lost...c-can I talk to Kim real quick?" I replied. I was shaking when Kim got on, muttering,"Hey hun, what's wrong?" she asked. "I'm lost, help me out?" I asked. she started to give me directions.

~one hour later...~

Kim hugged me, squeezing me tight. InuYasha stood a bit behind her, looking at me as I gazed back, over Kim's shoulder. I gasped slightly and Kim released me. She coughed lightly, looking from me to InuYasha and back again,"Do you guys wanna talk? I'll get some friends to get your stuff Max, and I can give your your later?" she asked. I nodded without thinking. I began walking along, between the dorm houses. InuYasha walked in step with me. I thought about what to say...'What are you doing here?' would sound rude and 'What the hell happened?' would sound stupid, whereas 'Hi' would sound too casual, as if nothing happened.

At least, that's what I thought until he said,"So...hi? I know that sounds stupid and all, but I don't even know what to say. I just came here, thinking, you know, that something good would happen and I guess I don't even know what to say even though I had everything planned out, I guess I forgot the plan," he said really quick.

I just blinked and nodded, as if in agreement. It was out of confusion. I lowered my head and kept on walking in silence as he let out a small sigh,"So...yea...hi," he finished lamely. "Hi..." I said in the smallest voice ever. He cleared his throat as I sat down on a bench. He looked down at me and we met each other's eyes. I suddenly remembered falling in love. And how hard I fell. "How've you been?" he asked softly. "Alright...you?" I replied as he sat down beside me, with some distance. He shrugged,"Same old, I guess..." I looked him over. He was wearing skate attire, and his hair was cut a bit above his shoulders now, with a trucker hat on that said,"Bitch's Bastard". I smirked slightly,"Nice hat..." I whispered. He returned the smile,"Nice shirt..." he replied, pointing to my shirt as I slipped off my sweater. It was a black shirt that said,"I'm not a baby...I'm just emotionally challenged...deal with it, bitches!" Meg had gotten it for me for my birthday. She had decided it was made for me. "Plus it suits you and the outfit is hot..." he added, blushing a bit red. I smirked again. I was wearing a black and pink plaid skirt with black combat boots and hot pink laces. I had to admit though...I did look hot? His fingers twirled around a strand of my hair,"But...why'd you dye your hair?" he asked. It was shoulder length with bangs that fell in my eyes, I had dyed it black. I shrugged lightly,"It just seemed like a good idea...you know...leaving behind the old me," I said.

He smiled lightly,"I like it...there was nothing wrong with your blonde hair though, don't get me wrong, it's just, it looks nice, great in fact--" he was rambling, so I interrupted,"InuYasha, shh..." I whispered, scooting closer to him and taking his hand. He looked down at me,"Sorry...I...I'm nervous," he whispered back. I leaned up and kissed him...on the cheek,"Calm down," I said, laughing lightly. The laugh was forced. I was about to kiss him on the lips, but I stopped myself. I think he could sense that much. He enclosed his hand around mine and stood up, helping me stand. I stumbled and fell into his arms completely. He simply gave me a gentle push back up and walked beside me. We walked along, uncomfortable again, until we saw Kim again. She hadn't spotted us yet.

I kept on walking but InuYasha stopped, grabbing my arm. I turned around, meeting his gaze again. He leaned down and kissed me...on the lips, deeply. I broke it, breathing heavy. "...Can we learn to say it again, Maxine?" he whispered. "Say what..?" I asked. "...I love you...can we say it again?" he repeated. I lowered my gaze again, looking over where Kim was talking with someone. "I guess we have to learn to..." I whispered, squeezing his hand and walking away.

Kim and I went back to our new dorm in silence. Finally she just looked at me and yelled...actually yelled at me,"Maxine Lisa, you're such a fucking idiot sometimes! I can't stand it! Go back to him, damnit and stop being a fucking depressive idiot!" I glared at her,"Shut up Kim," I said bitterly. "No, go back to him, you're being stupid, fucking stupid!" she yelled back. "SHUT UP KIM!" I repeated louder. "NO, YOU SHUT UP! LISTEN TO YOURSELF! I'M SICK OF TAKING CARE OF YOU AND YOUR STUPID DEPRESSION ISSUES, MAXINE! GO...BACK...TO...HIM!" she shouted. I punched her. I didn't even think. I punched her in the face, my fist landing hard on her cheek,"You know nothing..." I whispered, shaking my head as tears fell down my flushed cheeks, running the other way.

I stopped running when I came to a McDonald's down the road. I was too out of breath to actually eat anything, even though I was starving, and I feared I'd just throw it up. So I sat at a back table, my head resting in my hands.

I sat there for what seemed like hours, but was really minutes, going over in my mind repeatedly,'In the last 6 hours, I turned down InuYasha because I'm a fucking idiot, I yelled at my best friend in denial and punched her because she was right...and I probably have no chance of ever being accepted by either of them again...' I thought. I stood up and left the lobby of the McDonald's...running into someone on accident. "Sorry..." I mumbled, trying to keep on walking. But he had grabbed my arms, holding me still. I looked up at...
