"Friends" is Just a Label

Chapter 13- Confession

Shelby's POV

I jumped back, surprised at his action.

"S-Sorry," Max said. "I didn't me-"

I cut him off by kissing him.

"Shut up, Max," I smiled after pulling away.

"Hey, Shub, wanna watch a movie?" Max asked me.

"Sure!" I responded cheerfully.

"I'll get popcorn, you start the movie," he said and walked off.

I grabbed Frozen and put it in.

"What movie are we watching?" He asked me.

"Shutter Island," I responded.

He came back from the kitchen and sat down beside me.

I pressed play. As soon as he looked up, he realized that is wasn't Shutter Island.

I got up and ran.

"SHELBY!!!" I heard Max scream.

I ran up to my room, shut and locked my door.

"SHELBY!!!" He yelled again.

"That's me," I responded.

"Open the door, Shelby," Max said, jiggling the door handle.

"I'm to lazy," I responded.

"I actually need to talk to you," he said, more serious.

I opened the door. He had a worried expression plastered on his face. "What's up?"

He took my hands and pulled me forwards the bed.

"Every time you lock your door, I get really worried," he said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because you used to... and I'm afraid you still do it," he said, looking me in eyes.

"I don't mean to worry you. I just don't want anyone to walk in on me getting changed, or in this case, someone trying to kill me," I said and hugged him. "I'm sorry,".

"I like you, Shelby. A lot," Max said.

"I like you a lot, too, Max," I said.

He leaned down, I tilted my head up, since he's like a foot taller than I am.

Our lip's met.

"Shelby, did you ta-" Ross said, bursting into the room. "Oh...Sorry,"

Ross started running out of the room.

I felt Max's hands clench up by my side.

"Max," I said, looking at him. "Calm down,"

"Sorry," he said, his face flushing bright red.

I leaned up and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Let's go watch the movie,"

"Not Frozen!" Max yelled after me
