I must have rewritten this chapter maybe four times because I am introducing a new character in this chapter.  Comments are always welcome.

Max POV:

I was sitting at the table outside the coffee shop, trying to study for finals but to no avail. I was thinking about how I had sex with Alex and kissed Hailey while having a girlfriend. I am thankful that Sarah didn't make a big deal of me kissing Alex when I told her, but I don't think telling her that I had sex with Alex or about Hailey is a good idea. I like Sarah. I want to continue my relationship with her. Maybe I should accept that I can't seem to turn down an opportunity for good fucking sex.

I was in my thoughts when I heard a Motorcycle stop by. I could tell without looking that it was an awesome bike. Lisa used to ride motorcycles, and she also got me into bikes. I will buy a DUCATI MONSTER STEALTH once I am on my own and hopefully could afford one. I love dark and muted colors.

I felt a figure approaching me. Fuck, just a split second before I could see who it was, a memory grenade went off in my mind, it's Lisa, she drives a bike like this, and to my horror, it was. This allowed me to calm my nerves and not react when she sat right in front of me.

She waited for me to say something. I didn't even look at her.

"Max."

I didn't reply.

"Summer."

"You don't get to call me that after you ghosted on me for one fucking year." my voice was calm.

"There was an emergency.", she started, but I intervened.

"No, I don't want to or need to know why you left. You have a life outside of me. Like any other normal person, you are allowed to have an emergency. Do you know what any other person would have done in your situation? They would have told their loved ones that they are about to leave for a whole fucking year. Maybe it was my dumb ass that thought that you loved me."

"Max, I do love you."

"Lisa, it hurt, you hurt me, you went away, and it hurt, and it kept hurting, and now you are back; if you stay, you will go again, and it will hurt again, so I want you to go back to wherever place you came from. It took a lot to get back to normal." I took a deep breath. "I have a girlfriend. I have a lot to study; I can't deal with whatever you want to throw at me right now."

I got up to leave when I spotted Sarah coming our way. I walked towards her, and when she saw me coming, she gave a confused expression. I put my hands on either side of her face and kissed her passionately. She saw things coming and answered me with the same force. When we parted, I remembered that my dumb ass forgot to pick up my notes left on the table. I could see Lisa's reaction to this, I thought to myself. I started walking back to the table and saw Lisa shooting daggers at Sarah. I picked up the notes, and when I turned back to Sarah, she had fists made ready to put Lisa down if it came to that. I reached her.
