I wake up to my alarm clock blaring in my ear.
I groan but slowly get out of bed.
Before I can make it to my dresser though my phone rings.
I pick it up to see that Max has texted me.

Hey cutie, can't wait till Wednesday:) were gonna have so much fun. I'll make milkshakes:)
-Max

Great I love milkshakes:) I can't wait either

I guess I'll see you at school then. Bye
-Max.

I slip on a light blue baggy t-shirt and sweatpants with tennis shoes and my glasses.
After we all eat breakfast we head to school. The whole ride i think of Saturday night and that kiss he gave me.
*********
School just ended and I'm heading to my car.
As soon as I open my door someone taps me on the shoulder.
I turn around slowly expecting to see someone who's in with Maxs' dad but instead I come face to face with Max himself.
"Hey." I say.
He grins sheepishly
"Hey. I just wanted to see what car you drive. And to give you these..." He says.
I didn't notice before but his hands behind his back. He pulls it out slowly. His hand holds a tissue box sized red box. I take it from his hands and open it up. Inside there are chocolate covered strawberries. Some are white chocolate, some are pink and red with sprinkles.
"Aw. Thanks Max." I say cheerfully. I go to give him a hug. He gladly accepts and we embrace.
His hug is warm and protective. I wrap my arms around his stomach and he wraps his arms around my waist.
I rest my head on his chest. I've always wanted to feel this way about a guy before. I've always wanted to hug a guy
And feel reassured, protected and secure. And most of all complete. I'm enjoying myself when the bad memories come floating back.
Darin.
Samantha.

The memories come floating back. The denial, the cheating, the girl, the texts, that night. It brought back bitter memories and changed her mood.
She tore away from Max, got in her car, mumbled a quick thanks, and drove off.
She was barely half way down the road when Max texted her.

Hey what's wrong? Are you okay? Is something wrong?
-Max.
She stopped at a red light before she texted him back.

Nothing sorry just bad memories came floating back:/

Oh okay I'm sorry if I did do something wrong or if I ever do Some thing wrong in the future. Just know I'm here for you cutie:)
-Max.

Thanks I promise I'll tell you everything on Wednesday.

Okay see ya cutie
-Max.

I continue driving till I get to my house. But I don't go in. I just sit there wondering.
Could I ever let another guy into my life. Yeah sure I'm overreacting over ONE breakup. But it was because he cheated! I know tons of girls get over it fast but for some awful reason I can't.
Stupid boys. I think.
They mess with your brains awfully a lot.
Maybe I could give Max a chance once I tell him about Darin.
I get out of the car and walk to the door.
I guess I'll give Max a chance. I think smiling to myself.
I want to make this one work and besides he isn't the kind to cheat on me. Isn't he?
