The First Day Back In Boston

It all began with a big crowd of people at the Tipton Hotel sitting in the Lobby talking about things and how glad it was to be the Christmas holiday. Zack and Cody Martin were sitting with Maddie, Bailey, Tapeworm, Max, Bob, London, Woody and Barbara.

Cody and Barbara were still a couple and has a long distance relationship but Barbara told Cody that she trust him with all her heart. Zack however was trying to win Maddie heart still but she wasn't giving into him that easily. Bob made friends with Woody and started to fall for Bailey which made Cody jealous.

"Well what are you all planning on doing this holiday break?" Maddie asked.

"Spending it with you" Zack answered.

"Spending it with Cody as much as I can" Barbara said kissing Cody on the lips.

"Ewww.....gross can't you two get a room" Zack comment giving Bob a high five.

"Well I'm practising my basketball jumps" Max replied.

"I thought you were good at basketball" Maddie responded.

"I was but I've been thinking about other things and not the game" Max said.

"If you want Max I can help you" Zack replied.

"Cool be like old times" Max comment.

Zack and Max got up and left the Hotel and the rest went for a walk. At the basketball court Zack was helping Max but when Max tries to throw she misses and Zack was surprised and walked over to Max.

"What is going on with you and the ball today?" Zack asked.

"I don't know I just keep missing it" Max answered throwing the ball and going to sit on the bench and Zack walks over to her and sits down.

"Max, I know you can do this, we been on the same team and went through training together" Zack said.

"That just it Zack, I don't think I can do this anymore, I've got to many problems going on and I can't keep my head in the game" Max replied.

"What is going on at home?" Zack questioned.

"Mum and dad got a divorce" Max said. "And my dad left us a few months ago"

"Oh Max, why didn't you tell me what was going?" Zack asked.

"Guess I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of you" Max responded quietly. "I miss my dad Zack"

Zack put his arm around Max and hugged her. "I know what it feels like, I miss my dad too"

Max had tears coming down her face and she looked at Zack and he wiped the tears away and looked at her and they lean in and kissed each other on the lips and Max and Zack were in each other arm and then they heard Cody, Bob and Woody coming in and they broke apart and Zack stood up.

"Hey guys, we were wondering if you wanted to come to Burger world with us" Cody replied.

"Err.....yeah" Zack said looking at Max who stood up and wiped her tears away.

"Max, are you OK?" Bob asked.

"Err....yeah just thrilled that Zack teaching me" Max lied.

They all went to Burger world and Max and Zack were quiet and trying there hardest not to look at each other in the eyes. Cody and Barbara were ordering things in and Zack completely ignored Max and what had happened in the basketball court.

After that awkward dinner, Zack pulled Max to aside and spoke to her in private and told the others they would catch them up.

"Listen, you won't tell anyone what happened in there will you?" Zack asked.

"No I won't" Max answered.

Zack walks away and Max let out a big sigh and Tapeworm and Woody walked over to her.

"Are you OK Max?" Tapeworm asked.

"Yeah I'm good thanks let go" Max answered.

Later on Maddie sees Max staring at Zack and she comes and sits by her and Max loses her attention and pays it on Maddie and she smiles.

"So how was basketball practise with Zack?" Maddie questioned.

"Yeah it was alright but something happened" Max revealed.

"What happened?" Maddie asked.

"Me and Zack kissed each other" Max said.

"Oh I see and you like him" Maddie replied.

"Yeah I do always have liked him" Max responded. "But Zack won't look at me that way"

"How do you know until you told him" Maddie said.

"I tried a couple of years ago but he didn't see any more than a friend" Max replied.

Max walked away from Maddie and over to Tapeworm and her phone went off and she answered it.

"Hello" Max said walking away from Tapeworm.

Zack attention was brought and Maddie looked at the way Zack looked at Max and Maddie smiled. Max came off the phone and walked over to Zack and Tapeworm.

"I have to go, mum needs me at home" Max replied.

"Are you coming to the cinema with us tomorrow Max?" Maddie asked.

"Yes I'll see you guys tomorrow" Max answered leaving the Tipton.

Zack followed her and caught up with Max and spoke to her in private and she and Zack were so close to each other.

"Hey Max, is everything OK at home with you and your mum?" Zack questioned.

"Yeah fine just mum finding it hard" Max said.

"Listen if you ever want to talk you know you can to me" Zack replied.

"Thanks Zack" Max responded getting closer to him.

Zack touch Max lips with his and they kissed and it got deeper and Max put her arms around Zack and Zack put his around Max waist. They kissed until Max phone went off again and she answered it.

"Hello" Max said. "Yes mum I'm on my way home now"

Max hung up and looked back at Zack who was holding Max hands and she kissed him again and walked off. Zack rubbed the back of his hand and looked at the ground and found Max had dropped a photo and he picked it up and it was a picture of her and her mum and dad and Zack smiled and decided to take it to Max in person.
