Aspen and I wandered through the darkness. We got to the oval and under the stairs near school was Rose. But rose wasn't alone to keep her company was a guy, I recognised him in the dim light to be Nathaniel. I had seen him around at some night meetings but I could never of thought about this. Aspen looked at me his face worried and I looked back trying to hide my fear on my face. Rose lips were pressed deeply into Nathaniels. His hands wandered into roses hips. Between a kiss she looked up to notice us.
"Oh guys, wassup?" She said seeming awfully relaxed.
"What about max?" I asked confused.
"We broke up and I like Nathaniel now" Rose explained to us like it all made sense.
"Well do you know where he is?" Aspen asked knowing full well that rose was in the wrong.
"Yes over there" she said pointing towards the hall. We quickly walked in the direction of the point and started to talk again.
"This is too much" I said hoping I would get some comfort from Aspen.
"Agreed, I feel sorry for the guy honestly" aspen said.
"Yes she not usually like this" I said trying to reassure him. He stopped and grabbed my hand.
"It will be right" he said as we walked on. Soon enough we saw a shadow crouching. The noise got louder and I could make out the faint crys of max. I had never seen max cry, but I knew he was a strong guy. Max didn't know we were there so aspen walked over to him not saying anything and sat down next to him. To get this straight, max was not sobbing, not crying, but he had his tears in his eyes, and every once in a while one would roll down his cheek. That's why we could hear his little cry's, because it was a sniffle. Aspen went over and max sat there.
"I take it you have seen" Aspen said his voice steady.
"Yeh, there are really going for it" he said with little laugh. While the boys were talking  I pulled out my phone and called up Tye.
"You got him?" Tye asked through the phone.
"Yes, and we got rose aswell and one extra" I replied, I could hear through the phone his breath of relief.
"Who's the extra?" Tye asked a bit more settled now.
"Well you see rose is kinda making out with Nathaniel and than Max saw that and yeh he's real happy with that" I said sarcasm pulling through my voice.
"On my way" he said not even asking for directions he hung up. It must have been 10 seconds later I got another call from Tye.
"Where are you?" He asked embarrassed.
"Outside the hall" I said laughing to myself. Tye hung up again and I walked over to max and sat down next to him. I put one hand on his chest and the other on his back.
"Hey I mean she is with Nathaniel now, and so maybe you should get with someone aswell maybe Paige" I said. As soon as I said it I took it all back, I was evil. Was I trying to let aspen know my plan. I quickly started laughing  and told them it was a joke but they didn't laugh. Max had a strong body and his chest was well sculpted.
"It's gonna be fine, there is lots of fish in the sea" I said remembering what rose had told me that once when I broke up with Brock. Aspen was quiet but caring, and he turned his face to mine. Tye ran up from behind us and gave us a symbol that meant we could go.
"Oh max" he said wrapping his arms around Max's chest. We walked away and left the two boys in the darkness. Max had his head buried into his friends neck and I could see the pain radiating off his face as he must be thinking about rose. Tenai who was waiting behind the boys smiled at me. We walked back together and we made sure we walked past rose to show tenai. Aspen looked over at me, and cringed his face again. We walked in silence for a bit all obviously thinking about rose and Nathaniel.
"I'm gonna go" aspen said as we walked past his row of tents.
"I'll see you tomorrow, I'm so sorry this was so chaotic" I said putting my hand on his chest as if to say sorry. He nodded and walked off, and Tenai glared at me. It wasn't long before we got to our tent mostly in silence and we went inside. Thea and Isabella had come back and were brushing there teeth and pearl was saying good night to miles. I always wondered what was happening between the nurse and her as-well but I couldn't be bothered to ask. All Pearl had told us about her knight in shining armour is he is a nurse. We all fell asleep pretty quickly, we were so tired we couldn't help but all be asleep in seconds. I woke up early, all the rest of the girls fast asleep I lay in bed my eyes searching for rose but no rose. All of a sudden rose snuck back into the tent, she was her tippy toes like she was pretending no one could see her. She had slept over.
