Whenever I'm stressed about something I research random things to get my mind off of the thing I was thinking about. And that is what I have been doing for the last 2 and a half hours, researching random topics because I don't want to think about talking to Max even though I should.Recently Max been hanging out with Ross and Luna. She has also been staying in the extra room that's down the hall from my room. 

Ross has been working a lot more lately and tomorrow he's going to visit his old friends in New York. And since he's going to be gone for a week I have to tell Ross everything tonight. Which does not help with my stress.  Usually making videos or editing them helps sometimes, but I'm just not in the mood today to make or edit a video even though I really need too.

(skip about 4 hours)

Ross is in his room packing to go to New York tomorrow because he procrastinated again, but I figured this was the perfect time to talk to him about what's going on. I go to grab my phone to check the time but it doesn't turn on. 

Great just what I need, my phone to be dead when I drastically need a distraction. So instead I end up standing up and going over to Ross' room, I knock on the door and then walk in without waiting for a response. 

"Hey," I say while plopping down on his bed

"Hey, what's up?" Ross says turning to face me.

"Well, I have to talk to you."

"About?"

"Me." 

"Ok?"

"Anyways, so as you know Max and I haven't been talking lately and you've been working a lot so we don't really talk either."

"OK"

"So about a week ago I was looking for apartments and I but in a bid for this apartment that was being auctioned, and I kinda got the apartment."

"Is this your way of telling me your moving?"

"Uh, yes?"

"okay," Ross shrugs his shoulders and goes back to packing.

"So, that's all your gonna say. 'Okay?"

"Yeah, is that a problem?"

"Ooh, sassy squirrel. Calm down don't want you going nuts." 

"Now isn't the time for puns, Shelby."

"Did you really just say that. Ugg, Ross it's always time for puns I don't know what's stuck up your butt but you better figure it out before you have to leave."

I get up and leave not saying anything and not letting Ross say anything. I go back to my room and start cleaning because I'm frustrated with Ross and eventually I give up and fall asleep on the floor of my room.

It's  3:28 am when I wake up still on my floor might I add, covered in drool and surrounded by clothes.

Looking up to see Max standing in the doorway does not seem like a good sign. When he see's that I'm awake he walks in and sits down on the floor across me.

"We need to talk."
