Chapter 6

Vince's POV

"I was stunned by Max's question and I feel embarrassed at the same time." Why is she so straight forward?

"What?" I asked pretending not to know what she mean.

"HAHAHAHAH you smell awful."

"He's not listening! HAHAHAHAH" Sofia laughed at me.

"Go to the CR and take a bath you already have your things inside." I nod leaving them.

Max's POV

"Max what happened? We're so worried that something might have happened to the both of you." Sofia said.

"How did you two manage to---"

"Can you just please stop asking? I am really not in the mood to talk to any of you. I really just want to rest. If you guys don't want to leave just stay quite."

"O-kay?" Sofia said backing off.

"We're just going outside." After they left I tried getting up to get my phone and call my mom.

"How are you feeling? Are you okay?"

"Yes. By the way would you care to tell me how did you get those guns and bombs? And how did you find out I'm doing such job?" She pause for awhile like she was dumbfounded by my questions.

"I'll explain when you get back." She answered me stuttering.

"We'll be going home this evening. I'll directly go home."

"Okay. See you later."

"Did daddy know all about this?"

"No. But I want to tell him."

"What?! Do you understand what you're saying?" He wants to tell dad without knowing that it might affect dad's health.

"Max, your dad needs to know about your job, he needs to understand what you really want in life, and if it makes you happy he will understand. What if something might happen to you. I don't know what I should explain to him." I roll my eyes in annoyance and end the call.

"Hey, no matter how you hate your mother you cannot talk to her like that." I was shock to see Vince coming out from CR.

"Why were you—"

"You told me I smell awful so I take a bath." But I didn't know he was there. Shet!

"Yeah, but I didn't know you were there. I can smell his scent even in this distance we have.

"Where do you expect me to take a bath? "

"Btw, uhm thank you for saving me and not leaving me behind."

"Yeah, no problem. Whoever you are with that moment will do the same as I did." He left after saying those words. Okay? Did I say something to offend him?

"Max, Boss said we need to pack your things so we can leave this evening." Sofia said while still on the door, she looks like she doesn't have any plans to get inside. I just nodded in response, I don't have that much energy to talk.

~Airport~

I look around to find him.

"You're looking for?" She raised her eyebrow at me.

"What?" I raised my eyebrow too just to intimidate her.

"He got in first. He said he wants to take a rest, he also said he doesn't want his parents to see how miserable he looks" I nodded to her. When we got inside my seat was beside Vince, he is really peacefully sleeping with a sleeping mask on with his shirts upper buttons open.

"Hey, you sure you're okay?" Nick questioned me with a worried look on his face.

"Definitely. I am happy that I am still breathing and can still walk." I smile at him widely.

"That's—" The captain interrupted him saying that we will take off.

Vince's POV

I woke up when I feel something or someone is leaning on my shoulders, when I look it's Max who's leaning and embracing my arms. I want to wake her up for us to avoid awkwardness after she wakes up like this but I noticed her feet with bloodstains. I look at her peacefully sleeping like there's nothing wrong with her, I felt guilty for I know that I am the reason why they are rushing to go back home. I want to call somebody to clean her wound but I do not want to wake her up, so I decided to just let her sleep.

"Vince, hey! Let's go we're already here." Max is tapping my cheek waking me and damn! Her nose is just an inch away from mine! To my surprise I pushed her hard which made her fall.

"Ahh! Aww! Shit!" Damn it! I forgot that she has a wound on her foot and its is already bleeding now.

"Hey! Can somebody help us? Her foot is bleeding." I called the first person I see. Sgee looked at Max's wound.

"We need someone to carry her to bring her to the hospital. Or do you have any stretcher here?"

"What happened?!" Nick shouted in the distance I look at him. "What are you waiting for? Why didn't you carry her?" He immediately run to Maxine and carry her in a bridal style.

"Hey! We need to put her in the stretcher her feet might bleed continuously! Nick!" I followed them and he just keeps on running not listening to me!

"Max don't need a stretcher! She needs to be treated in the hospital now! We cannot wait for help!" He is right Maxine is already unconscious and her face is pale, I stopped running.

"Vince!!" My mom yelled out crying.

"Mom! Dad!"

"You okay?! How are you feeling?" Dad asked while checking me top to bottom and back before hugging me tight. Mom just keep on crying leaning onto me.

"Let's go home?" I nodded to mom. When we got home there's something in me that I cannot identify, I'm nervous like f*ck! What's wrong with me?!

"Son you okay?: Dad asked.

"Yeah it's just that—"

"Vince what happened to Maxine?!" Mom shouted while still on the phone. My heart is pounding like h*ll!

"Why?"

"They said they wanted to inform you that Maxine is in critical condition. She's still in the Operating Room now."

"What?! But she was fine earlier in the plane." Hinila ako ni Mommy.

"Let's go! We should know what happened! It's her who saved you Vince! And I owe everything to her."
