The Perfect Family

16

   Wait wait.
   Paisley? Alive?!

     "Where and how." I glared up at Max. His eyes searched my face before he dragged me downstairs to the basement, grabbing a key that was wrapped around his neck. He glanced at me, his eyes going wide.

     "Don't flip ok? There's a lot of blood, just don't." He muttered before opening the door the dim lighting shining down the stairs.

     Was this a trap? No it couldn't be. I turned my attention to him before giving him a quick hug. His warm body heat seeped into my frozen body,before I took a step back,bolting down the stairs. My eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness before I saw large shadows,one moving.

     "P—Paisley?" I whispered, my voice cracking.

       "Summer?"

    Her voice. It was weak,not as weak as it was when the knife was sticking out from her chest—weak like she was getting stronger. I ran over to her shadow,my hands shaking. I wrapped my arms gently around her, an ugly sob escaping from the back of my throat.

    "Are you ok?" I whispered wrapping my arms around her gently, bringing her closer. She was real. I could feel her hot breath as she breathed into my stomach,her knotty hair, her shaking body as she sobbed. I smiled placing my head over hers. Max appeared at my side suddenly whispering to Paisley that she needed sleep, and I watched as she stumbled back laying down. I moved from the basement in a happy daze. 

      I turned my back my mind racing with thoughts and I breathed in,exhaling slowly.

    "Summer?" Max asked scaring me out of my thoughts.

    "Yeah?" I asked turning around. He was suddenly super close. So close I could smell him. He smelt good. Like he wasn't the son of a murderer. Like a normal teenage boy.

      "Don't get mad when I do this. Because I've been waiting awhile for it." He whispered before kissing me. I froze. My world stopped. Instead of pulling away, I wrapped my hands around his neck,my mind going blank. He pulled away, leaving me speechless as he walked away towards his room.

      I just kissed a murders son. And I liked it.
                                    *****

     Later that night I stared up at the attic ceiling the kiss still running through my head. Over and over. Did that actually happen. As if I was in a dream, I climbed out of bed, my feet walking themselves down the stairs. I blinked—suddenly outside of Max's door. I eased it open, my mind telling me to stop. But my heart was thinking something else. I closed his door softly before sliding under his covers looking over.

     The mattress shifted causing his eyes to twitch open. He jumped, causing himself to fall off the bed. I snorted covering my mouth with my hand.

      "Uh Summer? Care to explain why you're in my room at....3:30 in the morning?"

     "I couldn't sleep because of what you did earlier. So I thought I would come down here." I said causing a smile to spread across my face. He climbed back into bed, rolling his eyes.

      "You better not snore or I swear." He mumbled snatching the covers turning away. I rolled my own eyes before sinking down, covering myself up. I rolled over before closing my eyes, sleep taking me instantly.
