Strange Destiny (A Mithzan ~Max~ Fanfic)

Chapter 2

Max's Point of View

"Ross! Were out of Mac and Cheese!"
I yelled across our apartment. I was hungry and in the mood for some good Mac and Cheese but we were out.
"What do you want ME to do about it?" He yelled back from the living room, not even glancing back at me. His eyes were glued to the screen as he was playing Knack.
"Go get some from the store!"
"No I am in an important battle here and I'm not even the one who is hungry!"
"Ross!" I whined.
"But I'm lazy! Go yourself!"
I sighed and checked the time, 11:01.
"Alright I'll be back shortly. Anything else we need while I'm there?"
"I know you need a life!"
"ROSS!" I screamed as I ran over to where he was sitting. I hit him and turned off the TV.
"Hey I was just about to beat this guy!"
"Bye Ross!" I yelled as I was walking out the door after I had grabbed my car keys.
"I love you Max!" Ross yelled out after me.
"I hate you!" I yelled as I flipped him off and walked out the door.

I was walking down to the lobby when I realized I didn't have a jacket or coat. F**k! Now I have to go all the was back. I opened the door to my apartment and Tim was standing there with my jacket and Brown Leather coat.

"Looking for these?" He said with a smirk or his face.

"Oh shut up!" I said angrily snatching the items out of his hands. I turned around sharply when TimTim said,"Hey Max how are you going to pay for all of that stuff?" I stopped in my tracks and turned around. TimTim had my wallet in his other hand. "F**k you!" I said as I tore it out of his hand and stormed out of the apartment. I soon got in my car and headed out to the nearest grocery store. It is only takes about eight minutes to get there.

There weren't many people there when I arrived, so I decided to pull up to the side parking lot. When I got out of the car I heard faint crying, and to my surprise I looked up to see a girl in a little ball shivering her butt off. She also had scrapes on her knees and elbow. I went over to her to see if she needed help or anything and ask what happened. I walked over there and I saw her cringe a little bit but I proceeded to ask her, "Excuse me miss, but are you okay?" I offered her my hand to help her get up.

Your Point of View

I looked up and there was a tall, red headed man who looked a tad bit older than me. I hesitated for a second but then took the hand offered for me. He pulled my up like I weighed nothing. Strong. And such beautiful and kind brown eyes as well. I thought to my self but came quickly back into reality. "Thanks," I sniffled," and about the 'am I okay' bit, not really, no." I started to shiver even more and I realized I was still crying. I wiped my red numb nose on my sleeve and then wiped the tears rolling on my face with the other. "Oh my gosh you must be freezing!" He said as he took off his big brown leather jacket and gave it to me. It fit like a trench coat due to the fact he is about 6' 1" and I am about 5' 4".  "And how come? What happened? Here, let's talk inside." He said as he put his arm around me leading my inside trying to warm me up. When you enter the store there is a little coffee shop on your right. We went in and ordered some drinks to warm us up. I ordered a hot chocolate, because I don't like coffee, so he did as well. I reached for my book bag to get my wallet out but he must have known what I was doing so he said,"I'll pay for it! Don't worry about it." "No really it's okay, I can pay for my own drink." I replied, but he simply said, "You've obviously been through a lot, just let me pay for this, okay?" He said with a kind smile. I couldn't help but smile at both his smile and his kindness. "Okey" I mumbled back still smiling.
He payed for the hot chocolates and we sat down at one of the tables in the little shop. We were sipping on our drinks for a little bit, when my kind stranger said, "Oh, I guess we haven't really met! My name is Max. What's yours?" "Y/N", I replied kind of shyly, feeling a blush come to my face. I am shy to new people at first, but once I get to know them I am REALLY out going. "Well Y/N, if you don't mind me asking, what happened?" The little smile I had on my face slowly disappeared as I thought about my journey and how I have nothing. "Promise I can trust you? And you won't laugh or think I'm stupid?", I asked. The stupid thing was probably true. But who knows, maybe it's just my severe lack of self esteem. "Y/N I promise that you can trust me without a doubt without thinking less of you in any way." Max replied with confidence and reassurance. Something about him seemed like I could trust him like I've known him my whole life, even though we've just met. I sighed with relief. I started telling him about my background, and how I grew up in a broken home with being abused and beaten everyday. I left out my depression and self harm. That was too personal. I also confessed how I graduated school and college insanity early, in both art and technology, but made a point not to brag about it. After all, I guess it's not that impressive right? Others have probably finished sooner than me and have become more than what I am now. Then I got to telling him my age. I am 22 years, and then today. How I packed nothing and now I have no where to go. When I ended my story I looked up at Max to see what he thought. He said nothing for a little bit, but then got up and hugged me tight. He felt so warm and comforting. I hugged him back and we stayed that way for a while. Eventually Max pulled away from the hug, and we both blushed a little. I looked away out of embarrassment and he sat back down.

"Hey Y/N?" Max said breaking the silence.

I turned back to face him, "Yeah?"

"I know we just met but if you want you can stay with me and my two other roommates. It might be a little weird staying with three guys but it's a place to stay."

Tears started to fill my eyes, but in a good way! "Are you sure I wouldn't be a bother?" I asked, knowing I would just be another mouth to feed and another person in his apartment.

"It would be no problem at all for a sweet girl like you to stay with us." Max said as a hint of blush came upon his face.

I got up out of my seat tears flowing down my face and hugged Max. "T-thank you so much!" I sniffled to Max. "Don't even worry about it Y/N." He whispered back.
