after max saw veronica and henry, he felt heartbroken and defeated. he wanted to tell veronica everything but of course, henry was there. how stupid am i to think that she'd choose me? he thought. with nowhere else to go, since he doesn't want to go home to his dad's, he went to rafa's, max's last option.

he sat on the stairs infront of rafa's apartment. as he sat there, he leaned on the staircase and started to tear up again, recalling the events tonight. rafa opened the door and saw max sitting on the stairs and sat beside him.

rafa looked at his student. "you put on quite a show tonight." he said. max sighed. "there's another one tomorrow, for sure."

"i don't appreciate being used." rafa stated. "i had no idea that it would blow up like that." max confessed. "what did you think would happen?" rafa asked. max took a deep breath. "i-i don't know. maybe that they would talk and realize that it was stupid? but i just fucked it up!" he said. "you know it would come out eventually. it always does." rafa told him.

max looked at him. "yeah but i just didn't realize that it would hurt this much when it did. i fucked up big time. i fuck up everything. i don't have anyone. not veronica, not my parents- not even aki and audrey." he cried out as he laid his head on rafa's shoulder, sobbing. rafa just sat there, comforting him in silence.

as they got in, rafa prepared his couch for max to sleep in. "goodnight, max. you gotta get home tomorrow." he said. max held rafa's hand before he went to his room. rafa stopped walking and looked
deep into max's eyes.

"i know you want to." max said, pulling him closer to him. rafa looked at his hand, then to max. "i do, but i can't." rafa whispered. "i can't either, but i want to." max said, kissing rafa.

rafa looked at him and sighed. he kissed max back.

...

and the morning after, max was nowhere to be found.

1 week later

veronica entered the halls of constance billard. she went to her locker and walked to her friends. as she approached them, she noticed that max was still missing. "no news from max?" she asked as she put her bag on the table. everyone just either shook their head or shrugged their shoulders.

aki looked at her "i don't know. he's never been gone for this long. we're all worried." veronica sighed in worry "where could he be? something happened last week, he came to my house and- nevermind. doesn't matter." she said since she didn't want to tell everyone what happened between her, max, and henry.

instead, she just texted max again, for the hundreth time this week, asking where he is. veronica probably called him a thousand times already, and yet no answer. monet said that max usually doesn't ghost all of his friends, this max was unusual. they're all worried, especially his parents.

after talking about max, they tried to lighten up the mood by talking about fun topics.

"oh and by the way, i have a launch party at friday for my new products for arch cosmetics at the palace and you're all invited." veronica said. luna smiled "oh, that's cool. you have a date?" she asked. "henry! my boyfriend." veronica confidently said. julien chuckled. "oh, so i assume that things are good with you and henry?" she excitingly asked. "never been better. we go on dates like every day and he's really sweet. i love him." she confessed. everyone "aww-ed" and supported veronica. "oh and we have a date later. i'm planning to give him all tonight." veronica whispered to the girls. they all squealed and cheered for her.
