Hurt

Sam’s POV

“Tell me what is going on, Max!” I finally yelled.

“I can’t Samantha” he closed his eyes. “I just need you to trust me”

I fell silent. I trust you, Max, but it is just difficult. Not because I think you are doing something wrong, but because I care about you.

“Max, look,” I said. “I trust you, it is all about care”

He opened his eyes and stood up. “Hey, lay down,” I told him as the cloth from his forehead fell down.

“You care about me?”

“Yes, of course, Max”

“Then promise me” he took my hand. “That you will go back to your house today and will not worry about me. I am totally fine, Samantha. There are just some issues and trust me, they don’t involve you”

I sighed. “You’ll be back to school?”

“Not now” he looked down. “Give me some time”

“You are hampering your studies”

“It is fine, Samantha. Actually…” he looked here and there. “I want you to leave”

I looked at him shocked. This is really not normal.
