I was sitting down on the couch watching tv. I really hate seeing this ad over and over again. I suddenly heard a loud crash outside. I ran out the door to see what was going on. I saw Lucas on his bike sobbing. He looked up at me, looking just as confused as I was. "Holy shit, Lucas are you alright?" I asked, running towards him in the rain. He nodded once but I could tell he wasn't. I knew him for too long. "...C'mon, get off your bike. Come in." I said as kindly as possible. I looked to both of our clothes. We were both drenched. God damn the rain. I shoved Lucas inside the house before we could get more wet. If that was even possible. I grabbed two towels from the bathroom, handing one to Lucas.

After getting a bit more comfortable and changing clothes, Lucas and I sat down by the fire with a large blanket wrapped around both of us. "So you wanna talk about it?" I asked him. "Nope." "Okay.." I replied, not bothering to push him. He leaned his head on my shoulder and I started blushing. Dustin, enough. "Max and I fought again." He said quietly. "Oh.. You'll get back together, right?" I asked, secretly wishing he said no. "Well.. I don't think so." Lucas sighed.  I felt happy before glancing over and seeing how hurt he looked. Seeing him so sad, made me want to cry. "We don't have to talk about this, if you don't want to." I said again, trying to sound sympathetic. He nodded, lifting his head off my shoulder. Sad. I liked that. He looked over to me. "I'm so dumb. She's fucking gay." He said, anger crossing his features.

"Well, what's wrong with that?" I asked, starting to feel nervous. "Well nothing but.. she lead me on!" He said, starting to raise his voice. "Calm down, I understand." Lucas sighed. "There's plenty of people out there for you." I said. I should just tell him how I feel. If I try make a move after years on crushing on him and he doesn't like me then our friendship will be ruined. "Like who?" Lucas asked, clearly feeling frustrated. "Well.. A lot of people in the class like you!" I said, starting to get more nervous. "Like who?" He asked. "Uhm..." Shit, should I do it?.. Okay, I'm telling him. "Like.. me." I said quietly. Lucas' eyes widened in surprise. I looked down, getting red. "Uh yeah.. I get it if you don't like me back.." I sighed. He doesn't like me. Of course he doesn't. I'm just the funny friend. I'll never be anything else. "You can leave if you feel uncomfortable-" I started to say before Lucas grabbed my chin, lifting my head up and forcing me to look at him. I started to blush as I realised how close our faces were.  

I went to turn away, then his lips were on mine. My eyes widened in surprise, not knowing what to do. I've never actually kissed someone before. His lips were soft and warm. Lucas was actually a gentle kisser. I couldn't describe how I was feeling. The only two words I could think of are warm and fuzzy. Lucas broke the kiss, smiling shyly. I turned an even deeper shade of red, smiling back. "Woah." I said, laughing slightly. Lucas looked at the clock on the wall behind me. "Oh shit!" He exclaimed. "I'm late!" He said, getting up from the floor. "What?" I asked, frowning. "Mum's making us go to a reunion or something." He muttered, clearly not wanting to go. "Oh, alright..!" I said trying to sound upbeat. "I'll.. see you around?" He asked, stopping at the door. "Yep." I gave him my best smile before he ran out. I grinned to myself, feeling happy.

"Finally!" I said, laughing. I had finished unpacking my room but I felt so tired. Will walked into the room after unpacking in his room too. "Hey, you okay?" He asked sincerely. "Why wouldn't I be?" I replied, smiling. He still worries for me after what happened. He walked towards me, wrapping me in a hug. I burrowed my face in his shoulder, sighing. "I'm just tired of everything.." I said wearily. "I know, I know." He said quietly. I'm glad he's always there for me, Joyce included. He's like the brother I always wished I had. After a few minutes of hugging each other, we both took a step back. "By the way, you should go visit Max, when you have the chance." He said, apologetically smiling. Shit. I forgot about the fact they're all still here.

"Right.." I said slowly. "You don't have to but I think you should." He said earnestly. "...I'll go now." I nodded. I walked out of the room, leaving Will there. He doesn't mind if I steal his bike to get to Max's house. Right?

I don't know how I feel about seeing her again.. I rode Wills bike up to her house. Luckily it was only a few minutes away. Sadly, it was raining. A lot. But whatever... I haven't seen Max in so long. I missed her a lot back in Cali. Then the 'incident' happened last year. But I should just forget about it..

I got to her house, getting off the bike in front of her door. I raised my fist, about to knock on the door before stopping. What if she doesn't want to see me? I hesitate before knocking on the door. No answer. I guess she's not home. I went to leave but I heard strange noises coming form the house. What was that? I grabbed the handle, pulling it down. The door opened slowly. Why is it unlocked? I stepped inside, looking around. All the lights were off.  I went to Billy's room, where I heard the noise, hesitating to open the door. I took in a deep breath, opening the door. The room was really dark but it seemed safe. I guess. I exhaled in relief that I wasn't being attacked or something.

I flicked the switch, trying to turn the light on. No light came on. I guess the light got cut off. I looked around the dark, trying to see what I heard. I could make out furniture all over his room. It looked like people had just thrown stuff around his room. What happened here? I took a step  forward before feeling something underneath me. I looked down at my feet as my eyes widened. I was standing in a pool of blood. My eyes followed the blood, trying to see where it was coming from.  I noticed a person lying on the ground. There was blood all around them. What the fuck?.. I squinted, trying to see who the person was. When I finally realised who it was, my heart dropped.

Was that.. Max?
