I'm Right Here | A Mithross Fanfic

Chapter 24

Max's POV

I wasn't sure why this random teenager named Ross kept calling me his, boyfriend? I'm heterosexual, and I was raised to be that way! I shake my head and I glance at Winter who is talking to me, my eyes dart towards Ross who is on the floor with Krista hugging him. His eyes were bloodshot and puffy.

Why do I feel like I did something wrong? Why do I feel like I should remember who Ross is? As I continued to ponder about the hollow feeling that lingered in my chest, Ross's gaze suddenly met mine. Was I staring at him! I asked myself as I looked away from Ross.

I don't know what to do- I was interrupted out of my thoughts as I felt a finger touch my nose. I glanced up to find Winter grabbing left over cupcake icing that sat on my nose. As she licked the icing off her finger, her face blushed a bright shade of red, she opened her mouth to speak but before she could say anything a flash of light brown and gray lunged for me.

As the figure pushed me out of the chair, I fell to the floor go find Ross pinning me to the ground. His left hand was on my chest meanwhile his right was on the ground. Both of his knees sat on my feet, keeping them on the ground, keeping me from getting up. His curly brown hair tickled my forehead as our heads were only inches apart. "Ross what the hell!"

Ross's brown eyes shone in sorrow as he watched my gaze, "I can't believe you would cheat on me Max. At first I believed your trick. At first I thought it was genuine that you lost your memories of me but, after seeing you both swap an affectionate stare I know deep down inside that you never loved me back!"

"-Ross..."

"I hate you Max! I wish I never met you!" Tears began to stream down Ross's eyes as the young adult runs towards Krista and Amy. The two girls pat him slowly and give me the cold shoulder. To be honest I don't know one hundred percent why this is happening but, if my friends want to ignore me then so be it. I slowly got up and rubbed my arm. I guess Ross shoved me to the ground to quickly allowing my shoulder to bruise up.

As I pulled myself to my feet, Ross turned away from me, completely. I shrugged my shoulders and felt arms wrap around my waist. I glanced behind me to find Winter embracing me into a tight hug, "oh Max, I'm so sorry about their bitter attitudes. But you don't need them. I'll always be here for you, Max." She looked up at me as she batted her eyelashes at me sweetly.

"Yeah your right, I don't need any sort of toxins ruining our friendship." I smiled as at her as I began to play with her hair.

Winter giggled from beside me before wrapping her white tail around my left leg, "come on Max, our escourts are on their way." I shot one last glance at Ross before I followed her back towards our escourts. As we stood there I couldn't help but smile stupidly at her. Winter had the type of voice that you could easily get lost in.

I snapped out of my thought when a hand tapped my shoulder, I turned around to find Krista angrily glaring at me, "what?"

"You know what you did, you know how much your breaking him." Krista simply answered before turning away from me. I didn't understand what she meant by that, I just met the guy. The two of us do not know each other, apart from our names. I glanced over at Winter who was flicking her tail back and forth in anger, but as soon as our eyes met, her tail slowed. We stood there for a moment but our eyes broke away when the soldiers finally walked us back to our room.

As we walked through the corridor I couldn't help but smile at Winter. What is this feeling that is inside of my chest. I've never had this feeling before, I always felt empty inside until I met her. As we neared the room, the soldiers looked at Winter and I with a bright smile, "good job you too!"

"I-huh! It's not like we like each other!" I yelped as I backed a few steps away from Winter, the guards shot each other a grin before continuing the walk towards the room. As we entered I felt my heart pulse through my chest, why did the soldiers act like that. I mean, I did think that Winter was cute but, I didn't know if I wanted to get that close to her- did I?

I snapped out of my thoughts as the metal door slammed shut behind me. Krista and Jazz were already in a close conversation on Jazz's bed meanwhile Winter looked at the ground in sorrow a few footsteps in front of me. I glanced at Krista as her warning still hung in my mind. I shook the thought away before I approached Winter.

"Hey Winter, are you ok?"

"I feel scared Max, I feel like there is no escape!" Winter turned around and for the first time I met a new Winter. Her eyes were bloodshot and puffy meanwhile tears stained her rosy cheeks.

"Shh, it's ok." I whisper as I embraced Winter into a quick hug. My head perched ontop of her's; I made sure to keep away from her ears just because of how sensitive they were, Winter remained to cry into my chest as we hugged each other, "I understand how your feeling, but we still get out of this."

Winter backed away from me and sniffled away her remaining tears, "P-promise?"

"I promise Winter." I reassured her, a small smile formed where Winter's frown used to be. "Just know that we are all going to get out of this."

"Thanks Max. I needed that," Winter spoke sweetly, her tail flicked back and forth as her normal, hyper energy returned to her. "Come on Max! Let's spar!"

About an hour or so passed as the two of us spared. I could tell by the look in her eyes that Winter was getting exausted. Suddenly an idea struck me, I glanced over at Winter who was panting heavily while preparing for her next attack. Suddenly she leaped but at the same time I made the golden Z appear and I quickly made a pile of flowers appear on the ground beneath us. Winter landed a foot beside me after the Z dissolved into the air. As she looked at the flowers in astonishment I quickly pushed Winter against the wall.

Our faces were only inches apart as I looked into her bright blue eyes. Whenever looking into her eyes I felt ss though I was looking into an ocean. I found myself smiling goofily as Winter looked me in the eyes, "Max, your a little close."

"That's because I've always wanted to do this." Suddenly I grabbed her chin and planted my lips on hers. For a moment she looked at me in complete shock until her eyes closed. I smirked as I backed away from her, "I love you my little kitty, and I want you to be my girlfriend."

"I- dont know what to say!" She squeaked as she looked into my eyes, her rosy cheeks were a brighter red but, I found that to be one of the cutest things about her.

"Just say yes. Say yes and we can be together, until the day we both die." As I  said this Winter surprised me by giving me a swift hug before screaming yes in my ear. I chuckled as I began to play with her hair.

I looked up to find Krista looking at me in horror, I tilted my head at her but she quickly looked away from me. I don't understand what's going on. I'm happy with Winter but why do I feel like there is still this empty feeling inside of my heart.
