He's such a perv leave it to him to make a move on a 16 year old girl! "JOHN!"

"Madi?" They stood their staring at eachother. I didn't know what to do so I grabbed maxs hand and pulled him outside. I didn't want him to be like that. We got outside and punched the brick wall of the building.

"JESUS CHRIST MAX ARE YOU CRAZY YOURE GONNA HURT YOURSELF!" I grabbed his hand to see how bad it was. He ripped his hand away.

"I DONT NEED YOUR HELP. YOU DIDNT EVEN KNOW ME. WERE NOT FRIENDS SO DONT LOOK OUT FOR ME DO ME A FAVOR!" Just like that he stormed away. Real nice.

Later that night I couldn't help but think about max and what he's going through. That entire car ride with brother I wanted to jab him in the neck with my keys! I wanted to talk to him but I chose to give him space because I knew he would flip on me too. Just like that I heard the house phone ring. I ran down the stairs and answered the phone. "Hello?"

"Ashley?" Was that max?!

"Max is that you? What's wrong?!" He started to cry.

"I'm home, alone. I don't want to be alone tonight can you come over please?"

"Max you're scaring me are you hurt?"

"Please just come over." He hung up.  I threw on my clothes and hopped on my bike. 10 minutes later I made it to the Lawrence house. I knocked on the door and a half drunk max opened the door.

"Max why are you alone where's your brother? You shouldn't be drinking either damnit max!" I grabbed the bottle from him and ran inside to find his brother. I ran up the stairs to see his little bro sleeping silently in his bed. I ran back down and sat next to max on the coach.

"My Mom died two years ago while having my brother. After that my dads been at work all the time but even when he's not at work he's up my ass about football. I take care of peter while he's off with his little business. When I can't watch him the lady next door does. It gets lonely here and sometimes.." I put my hand in his hair and start to massage his head.

"Sh it's ok. You're drunk you just need to sleep. Do you want to go in your bed?"

"Can you stay with me?" Ah jeez.

"Max I have to get back home. I'm sorry." I put his arm over my shoulder and we headed upstairs. He sat on his bed and laid down. I took off his shoes and put the blanket over him.   I kissed his forehead and began out of the room.

"ASH! Please stay with me. Please." I nodded my head and laid next to him on the bed. Like that he fell fast asleep.
