CH: 3
Maxi POV
"Let's go…" Max pulled Maxi with him.
Maxi nodded in understanding. Mark turns back to face the guys behind them.
"Hey, Nox… Jax, did you need anything?" Mark asked nervously.
"Just asking you about the girl behind you." I heard another guy's voice mocking.
Maxi wants to see who holds power to make my brother angry. But Max is still holding, so I do not turn back.
"Max…" I try to say.
"Mark, I'm taking her upstairs. Come up soon." Max said, looking back at Mark.
"Ok." Mark waved his hand.
Max takes Maxi with him. We get to the top floor. Mark arranged a room for me on the terrace. I like that room already. The front of the Wall had a big glass door. And my eyes see white snow falling outside. I smile brightly.
"Don't think of getting out in the snow, Maxi. It's cold out there." Max figures out what is in my mind.
"I do not think that at all. You doubted me for nothing." I pout as I look at MAx.
"I know what is in your mind. But you will catch a cold out there, so don't go out. Now here's your hot chocolate and pizza. Enjoy your food and call me if you need anything." Max put down food on the table,
"I miss my laptop… It's a good environment for writing. But I forget my lappy at home." I said, missing my laptop.
"You always thought about stories. Take a break and rest here." Max grabbed my shoulder and made me sit on a chair. He picked up a pizza slice and held it in front of my lips.
"Take a bite." He said with a smile.
"Ok… Mmm…" I take a bite, and the cheese test makes me in nine clouds. I love pizza more than anything.
"Testy?" Max asked me.
"Super tasty!!" I said with a full mouth.
"Don't talk when your mouth is full. You still like babies.' Max wiped cheese from my chin and scrolled me with fake anger.
"I'm not a baby." I pout in anger.
"When you pout like that, you look like a baby." Mark's voice makes us look at the door.
Mark was in the door with a big smile.
"Mark, come take a bite." I hold a pizza slice for Mark.
"sure." Mark walked to us; he bent down and took a bite.
"Max, you too." I hold a pizza slice for Max. He smiled and took a bite.
"Did you like it?" I asked both of them.
"Who doesn't like pizza?" Mark chuckles.
"Now we have to go down. Come on, Mark." Max kissed me on the forehead before I got up.
"Oh, yes. I brought this," Mark showed a laptop in his hand.
"laptop?" Max and I said at the same time. But the difference is that I said it in a happy tone. And Max looks unhappy. Maybe, he was thinking that 1I'll get back to my writing.
"You can see this movie, so you don't get bored," Mark said before putting it in front of me.
"Hey, I just told her to rest, and you brought a laptop for her? She will start to write about this. " Max said in an annoying tone.
I know he is worried about me. So I just grabbed his hand.
"I'm not going to write anything. Today is my day off. So I will watch a movie, I promise." I said in a severe tone.
"Ok, I trust you." Max patted my head and gave it to him gently.
"Oww… I want a baby sister too." Mark chirped before he jumped on us for a group hug.
"Ugh!! Mark, you are heavy! You will crunch, Maxi! Get up!" Max tries to push Mark.
"Oh, sorry. Maxi, are you ok?" Mark stepped back and asked me.
"Yes, I'm fine. Now both of you go. Your friends and guests will be waiting for you." I said with a smile.
"Ok, we will come back in four hours. After the party, we will go home." Max said, pulling Mark with him.
"Ok." I nodded, and they left the room. I locked the door and turned! to my pizza.
*****
Someone banging on my door makes me jump in fear.
"How dare you touch what is mine?" Some shouted at the door. I hear someone punching someone. I gulped my saliva in fear. I never thought someone could fight in my corridor. I was thinking about what to do. When I heard once again banging on the wall. Whoever is outside looks so angry. I grab my mask and put it on my face. It hides my half face from seeing others. I run to the door and slowly open the door to look outside.
