The next morning Phoebe could not stop thinking about Max and their argument. She had no clue if she should confess or leave it as it is. It was an hour later and Phoebe was in her room studying for a test she had soon when Steve suddenly burst through the door.

"you...me, go now," Steve says panting as Phoebe jumps and looks over at him.

He throws a jacket at her that she catches with ease, "come on!"

"Wha- Steve!" She shouts as she staggered back. Steve laughs and starts to leave, Phoebe shrugs on the jacket quickly and runs after him with the shoes in hand.

She runs down the stairs as Steve opens the door and stupidly tries to put her shoes on as she's walking.

Phoebe stopped seeing her mom and dad together, which made her confused "mom? Hey, what-"

"Phoebe!"

"Sorry! Got to go, I'll talk when I get back!" Phoebe shouts at them as she ran to the front gate where Steve is.

"Steve slow down!" Phoebe shouts as she gets one shoe on. She finally gets the other on and runs into the car just as Steve pulls away, a wide smile on his lips.

"What's the plan?" She asks as the two get into his
car. She wanted to solve the problem with Max, she
just didn't know how.

"Talking to her."

"Geez wish I thought of that!" Phoebe replied sarcastically "she hates me, what makes you think she wants to hear from me?"

"She doesn't hate you, she's just mad that you're leaving her out" Steve reasoned "still, I don't think it's a good idea" Phoebe starts, seeing Steve turn off of the driveway in the opposite direction to Max's house.

Steve knew the truth behind this, he understood that Phoebe is different and she is scared to show Max her powers, she's scared to lose Max in the process.

"Fine, but you're going to help me with something"

They eventually get to the Wheelers, and Steve jerks the gear of his BMW into the park, turning off the ignition before taking a deep breath. Phoebe watches him as he practices what he's going to say to Nancy.

Phoebe thought it was stupid to apologize to her when she was the one who called their whole relationship bullshit, but she kept her mouth shut and supported him.

Steve smiled and got out of the car, walking around and making his way across the grass. Steve hardly noticed as he walked across the lawn that Dustin Henderson stood on the Wheeler's sidewalk.

He looked somewhat defeated as he made his way away from home until he noticed Steve. Phoebe furrowed her brows at Dustin, wondering why he was there. She was gonna call out his name until he called out Steve.

"Steve!" He yelled as he made his way over to the boy. Phoebe rolled her window down to listen to the conversation.

"Are those for Mister and Misses Wheeler?" Steve frowned, glancing down at the red roses in his hand, "No."

"Good." Dustin states before snatching them from Steve's hand and starting towards the car where Phoebe sat "Phoebe, what the hell? I've been calling you all day!"

"Sorry I've been...busy. Why what's wrong?" Phoebe questions, wondering why Dustin apparently needed to contact her all day "Hey. What the hell? Hey!" Steve shouted from behind "Nancy isn't home."

"Where is she?"

"Doesn't matter!" Dustin responded as he opened the door to the backseat. "We have bigger problems than your love life" He opened the door and stood
there, turning to face Steve who was still in his spot on the Wheelers' front lawn "You still have that bat?"
