from: meme tag / always accepting
he was right. she hates to admit it, but he was completely right about lucas and most of those boys. it’s been going on forever, she just didn’t want to admit that either. how lucas easily becomes so smitten with other girls or makes her feel ugly about herself in even more ways. the only time he’s ever seemed so into her was forever ago at the snowball, when she was girly and glittery. max doesn’t want to doll up and wear dresses or wear makeup like those other girls, she likes her skateboards and converses and simple t-shirts. but it’s apparent lucas wants the girly type and doesn’t accept her for who she is. that’s why today, something just set her off for the last time. that blonde girl who hates max anyway, came over to say hi to lucas and of course the anger boiled up in her for the last time. she confronted lucas then the snot faced blonde decided to butt in, saying lucas ‘deserved better’ then when he said nothing, absolutely nothing, no defense, no anything-- max stormed off.
until the blonde girl came at her, pulling her by the hair and sucker punched her in the nose. then max swung her fists for the first time at another person, she hit her right in the jaw and then the nose for payback. the second she started to run the redhead chased after her all the way across the school yard and into the woods not far from the parking lot. eventually she darted in another direction and then a branch knocked her on to her back when she ran smack into it, arm scraped on some rocks underneath her back and the next thing she knows billy’s there. ocean eyes blink with tears as she finally looks up, seeing the sky first then gaze flickering to the voice... because who is here now?
not lucas, not any of her so called friends, only billy. as annoying as he is, it’s ironic that he’s always the one there. even if he doesn’t even mean to be. ❝ no one. ❞ she hisses, pressing the heel of her palm deeper into her throbbing cheek bone and nose to apply pressure. even if lucas is a jerk, she doesn’t want him to be killed. ❝ no one because i took care of it already. ❞ even though it looks the other way with bleeding knuckles, scraped arm and blood pouring from her nose while still lying on the ground, it’s definitely not how it ended anyway.
