Chapter 90
Ellie
Jimmy has always known how to trigger Max . I remember Max telling me that he stayed with him when he was at his lowest and he was the only thing he has closest to family. Like Max; he was a Scorpio and he brought out the darker side of Max in the worst way .
I know Max and I knew that Jimmy had called him . Poor Doctor Smith was caught in a crossfire he didn't start. It was unfair to him that he knew me as part of Blake's family but not Max because the twins and Max's mother were on my medical aid .
When he charged at me I moved back in fear because all his suppressed feelings were resurfacing and she was angry at the wrong person .He has an insatiable appetite for revenge and with all the highs we've had on our relationship , this was a low . He doesn't talk about some of things that he keeps secret and things that a
Chapter 91MaxwellEllie has always been right on the money . She has always been supportive towards me ; and she has always had my back . I feel like I have hurt the one person who had always looked out for me and understood me .I thought the woman walking downstairs was Ellie and when I screamed out Ellie , she didn't respond and I ran after her. Only when I got downstairs it wasn't her . She was one of the medical students taking the stairs instead of the elevator to go meet her boyfriend .The boyfriend recognised who I was and he asked me politely to take a picture. He gave his confused girlfriend the phone and she snapped away . I wanted to go say goodbye to my baby brother and when I went back upstairs ; Doctor Smith let me through, without any hold ups . He was wide awake when I walked in and he was lost in his thoughts . When I talked to him he saw right through me, and I
Chapter 92EllieI can only be mad at Maxwell for a little while and then forgive him. I Know that he has an impulsive side , so do I , but he bottles stuff in and there are times when everything comes out all wrong and at the wrong time .I went into shell shock when he started shouting at me and I flashed back to the times when Dexter would do the same under different circumstances , at some point it got so bad that; when he went out I would stay in and he would hear something that I didn’t tell him or mention and make me feel like I was keeping secrets when I wasn’t . It took me time to accept that I was a victim of ; mental, emotional , and to an extent physical abuse .Last night I called Max ; because after I talked to Blake he convinced me to listen to what he had to say . He told me that he has been th
Chapter 93MaxI was looking at Ellie who looked well rested and calm . When I saw the worry reflected on her face I knew that ; she was worried with good reason . I don’t want her calling everyone she knows , to come to my aid . I want to deal with what was going on ,properly, without her fighting my battles for me . During training ; one of the strikers in the team who is an accurate shooter; kicked the ball directly on my face , I thought it was a mistake and I let it go only for the second ball to hit me unexpectedly .The position I play is center back . The Jerry knows his job and he seldom changes his formation . I always keep to myself , but I knew I wouldn’t be popular because of how I was called up to the team. I was already match fit and I had put in the hours in the gym and on the pitch . I have always watched what I ate and It’s not that hard to eat healthy because Ellie watches what she eats too and she is not ve
Chapter 94EllieBlake was discharged from hospital and he didn’t tell me that he was coming back today . I was busy talking to MJ , when I got a message to clear him for entry. He designed the security system ; he could have just let himself in but he asked me for permission , which wasn’t like him … When he appeared on the screen while I was talking to MJ , Max screamed in jubilation and he screamed back at him too .The conversation I was having with Max was cut short by his brother . I didn’t mind and he had said that ; he would call me later to check up on me.I was happy that Blake was getting some time to spend with his brother , even if he was far away , he had some sort of communication instead of having radio silence .Since my phone was hijacked by Blake I went upstairs to my home office to go
Chapter 95MaxWhen the medical team tells you to sit out a match ; as a fan you may be bummed that, your favorite player isn’t playing , but as the person who is actually not playing it’s a blow to everything . Your self-esteem is affected , your morale takes a knock and you are actually as disappointed as the person who was looking forward to see you play . I am tough and I can handle anything thrown my way. You are only as good as your teammates . A player is only as good as the players he plays with .Soccer is a team match and everyone has to play together . Some of the best teams I the world the best because they show up and get the job done . They have been playing together since they were kids and they have formed some sort of brotherhood . The team I play for is fairy new and the team I play for doesn’t have roots
Chapter 96EllieI miss Max am doing a lot of things to keep my mind off missing Max . He didn’t call me last night , and I know that the rule of thumb when he is at work ; playing a game or training , he callas me and I don’t call him . I am dealing with his brother trying to convince him not to take him to rehab. I don’t want to deal with Max’s ex girlfriend’s and obsessed crushes . The party Max went to had a lot of levels and according to my turn coat of a best friend that I call Salvatore , Max had all access and he had fun for hours … without me .I was also sorting my feelings out and he wasn’t sure if I wanted him or not . I guess his behavior was warranted ,but What I didn’t expect and what was not called for was ; him lying and trying to cover up the fact that he slept with someone and it was a no strings attached
Chapter 97MaxI have always had the fear of losing what I already have. I have already lost Ellie before , only to get her back and I don’t want to lose her again . I have waited ten years too long to finally be at a place in my life where everything is going the way I want to … except for Paul being a thorn on my backside .He just doesn’t m want to quit.Its bad enough that I work for that man and my gut is still telling me he is up to something .When I was done talking to Jerry and I was enjoying my breakfast , a call came in and it was my brother. I knew I hadn’t called Ellie and I was really sad about it . She needed to know everyday that; she was loved and cherished by me . I promised to call her whenever I got time , but I ended up not calling her yesterday because I was knocked out cold . I refused to take meds or p
Chapter 98EllieI am excited that ; MJ is back home. I don’t want to pretend to know what he is going through; but I understand his pain and disappointment .He was looking forward to playing for the national team today but instead he , is sitting in my office with Paul who owns the club he plays for. Paul wants me and I know he has a reputation of wanting what he can’t have ; but I am loyal to my boyfriend . According to Paul; I am not off the market , as long a Max hasn’t put a ring on my finger its fair game and he has it in his head that we have a connection.The only connection I have with Paul is that of friendship and that’s it. I was surprised when Blake and Salvatore were nowhere to be seen. They were in the building but Blake was helping his brother get to me before Paul could . I figured he didn’t do it on his own, he must have had help from Daniel . I was going to book a flight to surprise him but he
