Free Fall

Max's POV

"Come here, Sky. I'm going to split your head into two," I told him the moment I came out of my room. The guys were in a panic and my eyes saw how Sky's face paled in horror.

I no longer care who he is or if I'm going to be in trouble for what I am about to do.

The fact that he touched my chest makes me lose my s**t and if I wasn't fuming in anger right now, I might go locked myself in my room and cry. I know it was an accident and I know he wouldn't do it intentionally. But it's my body and it's normal for a human being to uncomfortable if touched unwantedly, whether due to accident or any other circumstance.

A negative touch.

And I am sensitive with that.

Did you ever have a time when you feel like everything is unfair that no matter what you do, you're still the one who lost?

That's what I'm feeling.

It's unfair that he was able to touch me like that but I can't do anything about it.

I know that even though I might hurt him physically, my insides felt I was what, violated? I'm not sure if that's the right term but it's not a positive feeling. And I'm feeling so helpless.

He didn't mean it, and he's not that kind of person - I know but it's me. It's a personal feeling, like a grudge I can't take away from myself.

I am just so mad right now. Not with him but with what happened and I hate myself for not being careful.

With all the anger within me, I found myself running around the room while I chase Sky who was screaming for help.

Too bad, no one’s going to help you right now.

"Yah, Seth, do something!" I heard Zanaya screaming but I don't care. My mind has blacked out.

"Yah, Max, wait! Oh my God!" My eyes saw Raze trying to block my way but I just pushed him.

"I will kill you Sky!!!!!" I growled in anger.

I have never been this mad my life. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Demo hiding behind Grey who was laughing his a*s off.

They think it's funny?

"Yah, Max, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that!" Sky screamed in panic while I still chase him. My eyes locked into his and he turned into the table, our eyes meeting.

I stopped running and he did the same.

He was looking at me helplessly; his eyes bore into mine.

Sincerity...

I saw it.

His eyes scream sincerity and perhaps it was regret and I understand him. I understand what he was trying to say but the stubborn me refused to give up easily.

I knew I understand what happened even before I went berserk earlier but I can't help it.

"I'm sorry. I'll kneel in front of you if that's what it will make you feel better. I'm really sorry,"

My heart leaped out of my chest for a moment and somehow, it made me calm down a bit. I can feel the desperation and sincerity in his voice.

His eyes, it looks like he was hurting, in pain.

Why?

"I know," I whispered, my glance landing on the floor unable to handle the emotion I was seeing on his own. "But let me hit you at least once," I told him before looking back to his scared face.

"GUCCI, I think you're forgetting but that's a baseball bat, kitten. A baseball bat. You can kill me with that," he said bewildered but I shake my head. By this time, I can feel the anger subsiding.

I shake my head at his words.

"Na-ah. It will be as sweet as a candy. C'mon hunn. Just one hit," I smiled at him and I saw the movement of his Adam's apple, my smile getting even wider.

"Max, let's be good and give me the baseball bat okay?" I heard Raze from behind me and I almost forgot we have other people in the room.

I turned on my back and saw Mono watching us from the couch and Demo now sitting beside him. My eyebrow raised at the sight of Storm lying on the couch, his head resting on Cali 's lap while other have her cheek red like a tomato.

Tokyo and Grey were both sitting in the corner, watching everything and even laughing.

I swear this two are going to get it someday.

"Max, I'm really sorry, Ice cream, milk ice cream, I'll treat you with that. What do you say?" I heard Sky being hopeful and I rolled my eyes on him.

"Treating me with an ice cream won't help you get away from my anger, i***t," I told him.

"Yah, how can you be that cheap!" Grey laughed and I wanted to agree but I want to keep my facade of being angry. Honestly, I knew I would give in eventually. Even when Tokyo often annoys me with her cutesy voice and constant teasing, my anger subsides easily.

"Sky, how about you treat her on a date?" My head snapped into Tokyo's direction, my eyes widening in instant.

"What?!" I asked confused and she just shrugged her shoulders, a cheeky grin showing on her face.

This fucker. I swear Tokyo is going to get it someday.

"Well that can be arranged," Sky stated and now he's smirking as if feeling that everything is now under control. But I won't let him get away with that so easily.

"You know what? Let me just go hit you instead," I snickered before rushing towards his direction.

I was trying to catch him so bad I didn't notice the pillow on the floor causing my body to slip forward. My eyes caught Sky's panic face as he moved forward in order to catch me.

Too late, I'll fall. With that in mind, my eyes closed as I wait for my body to hit the ground.

However, what happened next caught me off-guard.

The feeling of my body hitting the floor never came. Instead, I felt something wrapped around my waist stopping my body into crashing from what's below me, a loud thud echoing on the floor, along with a whole lot screaming.

My heart started beating rapidly.

No.

My eyes were still closed but my body hasn't numbed yet as I realized that my lips are in contact with something.

No! No!

My eyes opened in instant, only to be greeted by an equally wide eye. And my world felt like twirling the moment I realize what just happened.

Our lips were touching.

Shit.

"Holy f-"

My body was frozen, unable to move.

We're practically kissing. Our lips aren't moving but it was in contact.

Like, what the actual f**k.

"Ten seconds..."

"It's fifteen. Don't you know how to count?"

I heard laughing, must be Grey and Tokyo but it was Demo and Mono speaking.

The sound of a phone ringing came but I wasn't able to move.

His lips, it was soft and inviting. If I wasn't stuck due to shock, I am afraid I would have move my lips and starred kissing him for real.

What?

My body bolted up immediately, pulling my lips away from his.

I'm not even sure what's happening around me anymore. All I am aware of is the loud sound of my heart beating and the lingering touch that had stayed on my lips.

I just had my first kiss.

We kissed.

Sky and I, we kissed.

I don't know how to break down that fact in my mind but even after all the words hitting me like a damn truck, my mind is still giddy about everything.

I was too out of focus that I didn't even realize that I was already standing, Sky's arms around me in support.

I was in a daze and confused.

"Max.."

I heard my name being called, my eyes focusing on the man in front of me.

Sky.

He kissed me.

"Max, are you okay?" I heard the concerned tone in his voice.

He was looking at me softly and somehow; it touches my heart how he seemed to care a lot.

No, I kissed him.

I f*****g kissed him. You, dumb f**k Max.

It's as if my mind was going crazy.

How can you be so stupid?

My cheeks were flushing with embarrassment, the severity of my own mistake dawning in front of me.

You just kissed Sky Max. The Sky!

Before I even knew it, my fist lunged before him hitting him square in the jaw. Screams echoed the whole room as he slowly fell down, knocked out on the floor and I watch as the rest of SHADOW rushed towards him.

My eyes widened, my hands covering my mouth in shock.

"Sky!" I heard Tokyo exclaimed.

Oh, my God.

"Yah, why did he passed out?"

"Max, you hit like a truck, do you?"

I don't even know who's who. My eyes focused on Sky's who's still lying on the floor.

"I think it's because he was exhausted, he hasn't been getting enough sleep lately,"

My heart dropped at the last statement.

Is he having a hard time lately?

I gulped.

He's okay, right?

Max, what have you done?
