I know I told Katie and forget and move on. But I couldn't find myself doing it. Sure, I did the forget and move on with grandma May, but, I had current problems in life that I couldn't just forget and move on.

For example, Max Winters.

The only one actually.

So, I ended up as a no-show on Monday.

Dad didn't like it and surprising, so was mum. She was, kind of, back to her normal self. She was the one making breakfast and she was the one starting up the conversations to dad. Katie was okay. She went to school, while I sat on my bed, thinking, like a looser.

Drake called. Of course he did. He was like the brother I never had.

He was annoyed, just like my brother, if I ever had one.

Why aren't you here Baker?

I shrugged and took my time to answer. "Aren't you in school? How are you calling? We should just text man-"

Don't you dare tell me what to do when you obviously can't listen to me. Dude, I thought I made it clear when I said that I wanted you in this building today?!

"I didn't feel like it..."

Well, you better start to because you've already missed more than a week! Coach's planning on replacing you man! I swear to god, you're so lucky that I'm busy practicing for tonight. I want you here by tomorrow, no excuses. Dude, the fuck man? Even Katie's here eating with us, talking like a normal person and she looked worse than you on Saturday!

I frowned at that.

Look, why do I keep having a feeling that it's not all about grandma May?

That response alerted me. I sat up straight and paused my breathing.

Hello? You still there?

"Y-yeah. I'm here."

Tell me what's going on Alan. Why aren't you coming to school? I know... I know how much grandma May means to you and really, grandma May's-

"Stop, stop it. It's not about grandma May. I'm... I'm over that. No, not over but getting close. I know, it was supposed to happen but, didn't expect it to be so early..."

Drake sighed into the phone. Thank god dude, that's good. You're realizing the actual situation here. A pause. Alright, want to tell me what's actually bothering you?

Did I want to tell Drake about it?

About Max Winters?

Was it that big of a deal?

So what? I felt like a love-struck teenager and almost melted into lava when I was an inch away from Max fucking Winters. It didn't mean anything. In fact, after what happened with grandma May, I barely remember anything. It was just me freaking out over nothing.

It's not like I remembered how warm and comforting his hands were when they held me.

Alan, you still there?

"Hm. Yeah, yeah. I am. Just thinking. But don't worry, I'll be there tomorrow. For sure."

Then, after lunch and a few hours and doing this and that of nothing, of course, god wasn't ready to be on my side. Katie was with Mason, away from home and mum and dad were still at work.
