The Lake and the Sea (CANCELLED)

Ross and Max

(Three days later)
For the last few days, TimTim and Max have helped me move my computer and gear into my office. TimTim would connect the cables, Max would move the stuff in, and I would set up the system. Finally, I was ready to record. Adam walked into my office. "Are you ready?" I took a deep breath. "Yeah. It's pretty nerve wrecking, but I'm excited!" Adam nodded, "Okay. We begin in ten." He turned around but stopped. "Oh and don't be nervous. You have more subscribers than me." He walked out of the door. I shook my head and put on my headphones.

After an hour of recording, I took off my headphones. I sighed. "I need to use the bathroom." I walked to the bathroom. Afterwards, I came out and bumped into Ross. "Oh! Sorry didn't see you there." He stepped back. "No, it was my fault."
"So why are you hanging out by the bathrooms anyway?"
"What? A guy can't use the bathroom?"
"Well, yeah. But were you stalking me?" I raised my eyebrow and smirked. He looked at me nervous. "Um, well who wouldn't stare at you." I looked at him. He looked at the ground. "I mean you are the prettiest girl here. Well, the only one but..." I picked up his head with my finger. He looked at me deeply. I stared at his eyes and the nervous smile on his lips. I closed my eyes and was about to lean in when Max came out of the bathroom. I quickly looked away from Ross and smiled at Max. "Hey!" I said nervously. "Hey you. Adam was looking for you. He wanted to know if you had any trouble recording." Max said looking at Ross and then looking at me. I scratched my arm. "Oh, I'll go talk to him then." I turned around and waved to Ross and Max. When I disappeared around the corner, I heard Max punch Ross. "Ow! What the hell?" Ross said angrily. I quickly peered around the corner, making sure no one could see me. Max grabbed Ross by the collar of his shirt. "Were you talking to her? I know you were. You were complimenting her too." Ross was struggling to release the grip of Max's hand from his collar. "Let.. me... go." He said, still pulling Max's hand away. Max finally let go and peered into Ross's eyes. "If I ever see or hear you talking to her again, there will be nowhere for you to sleep at night. Got it?" Ross rubbed his neck and hung his head. Max looked at him. "Got it?" Ross stood there and nodded. "Got it." Max walked away from Ross and headed for his office. I ducked behind a file cabinet when Max passed by. Quickly, I looked at Ross. He stood there, looking at the ground sadly. He sighed. "Got it." Then walked away.
