     After a few days of driving, I finally made it to Ella's house in Washington. I parked in her driveway and went up to her door. I didn't see any lights on when I peeked in, and no response after a few knocks. With no clue where she is, I decided to get my phone out and call her.

     "Wassup?" again, immediate response.

     "Gurl, where you be at?" I asked in a overly nasally voice.

     "What." she said half laughing.

     "I said where are you? Duh." I giggled.

     "OH! Uh, only a few minutes from home. I'm bringing you something." She teased.

     "What?" I asked, knowing she would say something like 'You'll see...'

     "You'll see.... Heh heh heh..." Told ya so.

--5 minute time skip of sitting on front porch stairs--

     I watched Ella pull up in her red Ford. She parked behind my car and got out of hers. As she came walking up the sidewalk to the front door, I noticed she was holding two small cups with spoons poking out of them.

     "What'cha got there?" I questioned her, wondering what was in the cups.

     "Nothin'." Was her simple reply. I got up from the stairs and tried to look into the cups but she pulled away before I could see anything. She walked past me to unlock the house and then we both walked in to the living room (A/N: so as too not confuse too many people all imagining a different house, Ella's house is the exact same setup as Aphmau's from MyStreet Season1).

     "Here, have this" Ella handed me one of the cups. IT WAS A MINT OREO BLIZZARD FROM DAIRY QUEEN. Ella knows me way too well.

     "Thanks!" I say to her as I start digging in to my ice cream.

     "So, let's talk about Sam and the breakup. I know you think you're over it already and don't need to talk about it. But I also know that you lived with this man for 3 years and loved him for 4. You thought he was trustworthy and honest. Then you knew he wasn't. Now come here, Lizzy, let it all out." Suddenly, all the emotion I wanted to ignore and had been piling up inside me, erupted out of my face in the form of tears. I put my ice cream on the coffee table and laid down onto Ella's lap. I don't know how long I cried, but it felt like forever. When I was finally done bawling my eyes out, I sat back up. I started finishing my ice cream as Ella turned on Sword Art Online, my favorite anime, and neither of us said anything else.

     When we were both done with ice cream and anime, we decided to unpack my boxes into my new room. We both went outside to my car and got all three boxes out at once. We tried Ella carries two boxes I carry one, but that plan failed horribly and hilariously. Thank goodness the only thing we dropped five times in row was my clothes. We were about to make two trips when a tallish man came walking up to us from the house across the street. He had red hair and a small goatee that covered the entire bottom of his face. I froze.

      "Oh, hey Max!" Ella put down my video games and waved to Max.

     "Hi Ella. I see you're having some trouble. Need help?" Max offered.

     "Yeah, thanks! Oh, also! Max, this is Liz. She just moved in with me today," Ella says waving at me.

     "Uhmmm... H-Hi! I'm Liz." I say politely and as calmly as I possibly can.

     "Hey Liz, I'm Max." he reaches his hand out to me and I shake it.

     "I know," I say "Mithzan, I'm a HUGE fan."

     "Really? Cool" Max says to me all calmly. I am using every single ounce of my strength not to scream and fangirl. It was unbelievably difficult.

     After introductions, we all moved my boxes up to my new room. It was light blue, my favorite color. I unpacked my clothes into my closet, which had a dresser beneath a hanger rack. All my little knick-knacks were put in their places and I just left my video games in the box, which I told Max to put by my desk. My bed was in the corner next to the closet and a desk up against another wall. There was nothing on the desk, so I decided I would move it be on the same wall as the door. I'll hook my monitor and consoles up to it so I can play/watch in bed. (A/N: Liz's room is Katelyn's room)

     "You ok?" Max asked me out of no-where. I realized I was staring at my room looking slightly brain dead.

     "Uh, yeah. Just thinking about where I'm going to put stuff" I answered blushing a little. I don't think he noticed.

     "It was really nice meeting you, Liz, but I should get back to Tim and Ross. Dinner's soon." Max explained to me and Ella.

     "Nice to meet you too, Max. See ya later." I replied.

     "Bye." Ella  says as she shows Max to the door.

     "Bye."

     As soon as the door is closed, I scream so loudly that, halfway across the street, Max turns around and we make eye contact. I look at him through the window and feel my face burn as I blush so hard. He just smirks the same way he always does in any pic you see him in and then turns back around and keeps walking.

Max's PoV

     As I look out the window, I see Ella and a really cute girl I've never seen before trying to carry three boxes. The girl tried to put one box on top of another one Ella was already carrying. It didn't work. The second box fell for the fifth time in a row. They needed help.

     "I'm gonna go help the new neighbor, later guys!" I yelled to Tim and Ross as they were arguing over something stupid... again.

     Ella put down the box she had and looked over at me and waved.

     "Oh, hey Max!"

     "Hi Ella. I see you're having some trouble. Need help?"

     "Yeah, thanks! Oh, also! Max, this is Liz. She just moved in with me today." Ella gestured toward the cute girl, whose name is apparently Liz.

     "Uhmmm... H-Hi! I'm Liz." she says looking slightly flustered, trying not to show it.

     "Hey Liz, I'm Max." I introduce my self as I reach my hand out to her.

     "I know," she says as she takes my hand and shakes it. "Mithzan, I'm a HUGE fan." she puts emphasis on the word 'huge'.

     "Really? Cool." It's always nice to meet fans who care about what you do.

     I picked up the last box and followed Ella and Liz to Liz's new room. It was a light sky blue with a bed in one corner, a closet next to it, and a desk up against another wall. It was kinda small.

     "Why don't you put that box next to the desk, Max." Liz directed me. I put the box down beside the desk and Liz kinda zoned out staring at the room.

     "You ok?" I asked her.

     "Uh, yeah. Just thinking about where I'm going to put stuff." she answered. I don't know for sure, but I swear I saw her blush a little.

     "It was really nice meeting you, Liz, but I should get back to Tim and Ross. Dinner's soon." I said to Liz and Ella.

     "Nice to meet you  too, Max See ya later." Liz replied.

     "Bye." Ella says showing me the door.

     "Bye." I responded. Half-way across the street I heard someone scream. I turned around and saw Liz through the window. She stared at me and definitely blushed this time. I just smirked at her and continued on my way home.
