Silence Is His Favourite Song

Chapter 29

Max's pov

Somhow I found myself awake by 6:30am. I looked at the sun peeking in through the curtains and decided that I didn't want a repeat of yesterday morning so I went through my morning functions like a robot and I simply put on the same clothes I wore yesterday and after hiding my Xanax pills and a bottle of vodka in my backpack under some clothes and books I left the house not bothering to eat or comb my hair

It was pointless anyway, she was my life. Now she's gone and the life has been sucked out of me

I chose my blue jaguar and hopped in and closed the door and zoomed off to school

I made it to school by 7:20am and put up my hoodie before getting out and walking into school

I saw the others by the lockers talking

"I don't think he'll be coming today, he was drunk and high the last time we spoke to us " Jess was telling them and I could see Veronica show the slightest bit of shock at her statement

Then Roxy turned and spotted me and I quickly walked away to the first class of the day

I spent my morning avoiding contact with everyone despite my friends trying to talk to me and I hid in a bathroom at lunch for the first ten minutes before I went to the cafeteria

I stopped at the door looking at them. They seemed to be engaged in a serious discussion.

I could see Roxy explaining something and Jess was holding Roxy's phone so I guessed they had seen the photo of the text that Roxy took. I could see the looks of shock and confusion on their faces after seeing the photo and Veronica looked the most upset until Noah put his arm around her and kissed her hair and she leaned into him

A tear fell down my cheek and I turned away bumping into someone

"Hey watch it! What's wrong with.....? " the person trailed off as she looked at me

Debra

She saw my tears and instantly reached out to wipe them away but I swatted her hand away. I could feel the attention of everyone on us and I hated it

"Max, I really didn't mean to- " I cut her off

"Just shut up and leave me alone. You've broken us up. I hope you're happy. You've gotten what you wanted, but if you think for a second that I'll ever love you then you're delusional. The love I once had for you is nothing compared to what I feel for her..... now you've ruined that. Thanks a lot. She's moved on and you should too because if you dare come anywhere near me again you'll regret it " I said with silent anger and walked away leaving her with tears in her eyes and as soon as I'd turned a couple corners, I entered the bathroom and opened my backpack and looked at the pills and the vodka knowing what had to be done

He left, what he said confirming my fears and even as his friends rushed to where he once stood he had already turned the corner.

This was all my fault. He was really in love with her and I ruined him because of my selfish desire to have him for myself. Now because of me he's broken beyond repair

"You bitch! Have you seen what you've done? " Roxy yelled making me look at her

The rest of them looked at me, some with disgust, others with indifference

Veronica was the only one who looked at me as if she was trying to figure me out

I decided to tell them the truth, Max deserved to be happy, even if it wasn't with me
