"Hey could i use your shower?"
"Mia?"
I step through the door finally walking in to put his voice to a face. He stands up confused rather.
"One and only, so? Can I?"
"Mia- I- Bane-"
"It's a shower Max, not a strip show"
He chuckles scratching the back on his head "yeah sure"
I walk past him until he says my name.
"What did you wanna talk about?"
"Oh- I" I really need that shower, but then again I might as-well do it now before tomorrow gets all hectic and there's no time at all "sit" I walk over jumping on top his bed, he joins me right after a little worried but intrigued.
"I have to tell you something- well no, I want to tell you something, something that is really important to me"
He shuffles "is everything okay?"
"Oh yeah everything's fine, this isn't something that happened recently. More like 3 years ago"
"3 years ago like when everything went down? Because if you wanna tell me about those scars on your wrist then Mia-"
"No-" okay this isn't going as smoothly as I want it to go "you saw that?"
I watch as his face softens "yes, yeah I did"
I take a moment to regroup myself, to let myself relax and not stress about it too much. This is Max, my Max, it's okay.
"When I killed Nicholas I didn't just leave"
It's as if his body went on pause with the way he's staring at me.
"I stayed. I stayed until the bomb exploded because I wanted to die with him Max. What I didn't know however-" I pause glancing up at him.
"Didn't know what Mia?"
Oh fuck, why is this so much more harder. Why is my heart beating so fast.
"What- for fucks sake. What I didn't know was that I was pregnant"
His mouth opens but shuts just as fast, his body shudders a wave of- sadness? Pain? I don't know but whatever it was, was enough for me to get the chills myself.
"Mia-" he finally says yet the shiver in his tone can't be missed "how- I don't understand I mean"
"I didn't know, I didn't know until I got to the hospital and that's when they told me"
"Is that when you-?"
I glance down at my wrist that have lost all ounce of the makeup I had put on. The lines are so so clear, it hurts more to look at them now more than ever.
"Yeah"
"Does Bane know? I mean I obviously won't say anything but I'm just wondering"
"Yeah he knows, I actually just told him"
"I'm sorry this is just- I'm so sorry Mia I truly really am"
"I'm only telling you because you're my best friend, I trust you"
The next thing I know is he comes closer wrapping his arms around me in the most embracing hug I have yet had. He kisses the side of my head before whispering "you know I love you right? I won't be able to fix what happened but I can sure as hell help you live through this" he pulls back holding my hands in his "talk to me Mia, whenever shit gets too hard talk to me- or just come sit with me, you don't have to talk or explain anything but just come to me okay?"
