"max, I'm not quite sure i follow, what do you mean, how did i know i was gay," Robin asked the redhead, in total confusion.

"like what made you actually realise, that uno you were gay," Max asked again.

"well, i guess it was just that i always got the feeling in the bottom of my stomach when i was around girls, and never when i was around boys. i have no nerves around guys, but i never know what to say around girls, and I'm always a pretty nervous wreck around girls especially the ones i liked,". " does that answer you question?" Robin asked

"i think so yeah, thanks robin,"

"not to be nosey max, but why are you asking?"

"i think, i dont know, you know what never mind,"

"alright, well I'm alway here if you wanna talk,"

Robin walked out the room and closed the door behind her. and for the first time today, max was alone. She felt that empty feeling again and suddenly she felt that urge. she felt every night when the weight of the day finally caught up with her and piled onto her shoulders. It was like a faint heart beat in her arm and the only way to make it stop was to well, cut herself. max new she had to stop this, it was a vicious cycle that she couldn't stop no matter how hard she tried.

She tried pinching herself really hard on her arm. It didn't work she tried to forget about it but her mind kept wondering back to the heartbeat. "Max!, phone" Jamie called out,

"coming," max yelled back, hopefully this would help take her mind of things. "who is it," 

"someone named, el," Jamie said and as the name slipped out of Jamie's mouth, the heart beat in her arm suddenly disappeared, "oh okay," max replied as  Jamie handed her the phone, "thanks,"

the phone call:

end phone call 


as max put down the phone to hang up els voice echoed around in her head, the butterflies fluttered around in her stomach until it was interrupted by Robin walking into the room, 

"was that eleven?" Robin asked very curious. 

"yeah," Max reluctantly answered, 

"so is she your girlfriend then?" Jamie ask unaware of how sensitive max was on this subject
