"Hey baby!" Max said walking in. It had been 2 weeks since our kiss. Neither one of us has said anything about it. We weren't a couple or anything sadly, but we spent a lot more time together.

"Hi babe, I'm making lunch, want something?"

"Ooh! What ya making?"

"Crepes."

"Yum! Can I have a fruit one?"

"Yeah sure."

"Love you!"

"Love you too." I said with a giggle.

"Speaking of which," Max said before coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist, "Would you like to be my girlfriend that I can spoil and love?"

I stopped cutting up fruit and sat there for a second, processing what he just asked. I turned around and put my arms around his neck. "Does this mean I have the right to kiss you whenever I want?" I said with a smirk.

"Yep."

"Then yes, I would love to be your girlfriend Max." I said with a little giggle.

"Yes!" Max said jumping around in a happy dance. I just laughed.

"Now get out so I can make food!" I said sternly.

"Okay!" Max said, kissing my cheek and going into the living room. Max Schneider is my boyfriend. A lot of girls would kill to be in my position. I finished making lunch and we sat on the couch eating and talking about random things. Just then, Max got a call.

"Hello?.... Yes Jeff.... Really?... That's great.... Next week?... Oh... Alright... I'll come in tomorrow...Tonight?... Jeff, I'm with my girlfriend tonight....Okay....Can she come with... Okay... Bye Jeff... See you soon...." Max hung up and looked at me with sadness in his eyes.

"What is it baby?"

"I'm so sorry. I have to go to the studio."

"Now?" I asked. He nodded.

"My manager got me a tour. I need to get with the band tonight."

"Oh. So you have to leave..." I said sadly facing the truth.

"Yes. I asked if you could come with, but he thinks I'll be off track."

"It's alright baby. We can reschedule." I said softly. He shook his head.

"I have to be in studio all week. I'm so sorry love." He said as he kissed my cheek. I let a tear fall from my eyes and onto my cheek. "Babygirl, please don't cry."

"Go. I'll be okay." I said, trying to convince myself more than Max.

"I want you to call me in an hour."

"Alright. Now go..."

"I love you Riley." He leaned in and kissed me passionately. We broke away from the kiss breathless.

"I love you too Max." I replied as he got up and walked to the door. I slowly followed, kissing him one last time before saying goodbye. He went out the door and I closed it and started bawling. I knew he was still right outside the door and he could hear me, but I didn't care. My best friend, my boy friend, was leaving me all alone for at least a week.

"Stay strong darling. I'll try to be back soon." I heard from the other side of the door. I then heard faint footsteps and a car starting up. I walked away from the door and went to the window. I swear I saw tears on Max's face as he left. This sucked. So much for a great day. It was more bittersweet than anything. Just when everything is okay and your smiling, life laughs and says, "Oh yeah, I forgot the tornado."
