after kissing for what felt like forever, both lucas and max pull away.

"oh my gosh, i'm so sorry max.." lucas says, embarrassed.

"it's okay, lucas. i actually.. liked it" max says, blushing and looking down.

"really?" lucas says, in disbelief.

"really." max states, smirking.

"well what are we waiting for? let's go
inside." max says, ready.

"ok." lucas says worried about what his mom would think about him having a girl over, but at the same time, lucas' mom knew max, just not so well that she'd let her sleep over, so he hoped she'd understand.

lucas slowly opens the door, to his dad asleep on the couch, and his mom doing the dishes.

"hey mom." lucas says, nervous.

"sweetie, where were you?" his mom interrogated.

"at the movies with my friends. we were celebrating."

"celebrating what?" lucas' mom says, curious, still putting her attention mostly to the dishes.

"well.." lucas begins..

then, max reveals herself, stepping from behind lucas.

after a little, lucas finally turns her head around to look at lucas.

"oh my! sweetie, you're that girl that lucas always talks about!" lucas' mom states, smirking softly.

"mom!" lucas yells, embarrassed.

"oh sorry.. anyways, sugar, i thought you were in a coma.." lucas' mom says, confused.

"oh i woke up, and i'm completely fine now!"
max says happily.

"that's great to hear! but.. why are you here?"
lucas' mom asks.

"oh well mom.. uhm.. is it okay if she spends the night?" lucas asks, hoping for a yes.
"well why? i could take her home."
lucas' mom states.

"well mrs sinclair, my mom is probably really drunk right now, and believe me, when she's drunk, i don't wanna be anywhere near her."
max says, with fear in her eyes.

"oh, i'm so sorry that such a thing is happening to such a sweet girl. of course you can stay. for as long as you'd like in fact. i don't want anything to happen to you. lucas was devastated when you were in that coma and i can't imagine what would happen if something else happened." lucas' mom says, feeling sympathy for max.

"thank you mom. lets go max." lucas says, trying to get away from his mom.

while they are walking out, max hears a voice.

"hey sugar?" lucas' mom asks.

" yes mrs sinclair?"

"you know, lucas really cares about you and he
always talks about you to me. like all the time.
i hope you know how much he cares. i like you and i think you are very sweet. you make my son happy, and I wanted to thank you for that."
lucas' mom says, proud.

"really?" max says, in disbelief.

"of course honey! just thank you. lucas hasn't been happier without you." lucas' mom states.

"well then your welcome mrs sinclair." max says, in awe of what lucas' mother just said.

"max! you coming? lucas shouts from his room.

"yea! i'll be right there!" max says walking to his room.

"hey max, i'm so sorry about the whole kiss thing.." lucas says, embarrassed.

"lucas, its okay! like i said, i actually liked it.
thank you so much for everything." max says, smiling at lucas. but then, her smile turns into a
sort of serious face.

"hey lucas, do you really talk about me a lot?" max asks, curiously.

"well, to be honest, i do. a lot. remember what i said in the hospital? it was all true. i really do love you max." lucas says, revealing the truth for the second time.

"wow lucas i never knew you cared that much."
max says, shocked.

lucas then looks at max, and she looks back at him. and in a blink they kiss again.

"wow.. lucas." max says.

"what is it? did i do something wrong?" lucas asks, a bit anxious.

"no of course not. just never acknowledged
how good of a kisser you are." max says , smirking.

"well thank you m'dame." lucas says in an accent, making max laugh.

lucas admires how pretty max looks when she laughs, and how happy she is.

"well max its pretty late.. we should go to sleep."
lucas states.

"you're right. but where should I sleep?" max asks.

"you can sleep in my bed. i'll sleep on the floor."
lucas says.

"why?" max asks.

"well i'm sure you don't want me sleeping with you." lucas states, looking down.

"well.. is it okay if you do?" max asks, hoping for a yes.

"of course." lucas then gets in the bed, and they get comfortable.

max hugs lucas, while putting her head on his chest, and lucas has one of his arms around max,
and the other in her wavy red hair. then, they fall asleep, in the comfort of each others arms.
