Caleb, Pogue, and Max see the boys go outside and all three start following them out.
"You guys need any help?" Chase asks, trailing behind.
"No, just stay with the girls," Pogue says without even giving a glance in the boy's direction.
Once everyone is outside Caleb tries to figure out what happened.
"He bet I couldn't make a combo shot and I did," Reid tells as he stares at Aaron, obviously pissed off. There is defiantly more to the story than what he's saying.
"And…" Max tries to get the other blond to continue.
This time it's Tyler that speaks, "He said some things about you that I really don't want to repeat."
The girl turns her eyes on Aaron and gives him a glare that could freeze the sun. Her hands, which are covered by black fingerless gloves like Reid, tighten into fists. The boy just gives a smug smirk in return and starts saying something when a big guy comes to them with a bat in his hands.
"Move it out of here ladies," his gruff voice says.
"Sure thing Nicky," Aaron says as he and his friends walk back into the bar.
"You guys alright?" Caleb says, rubbing his face with his hand.
"Just pissed as hell," Tyler answers in an upset voice.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Max exclaims to Reid, getting in his face.
"What do you mean?" the boy is confused.
"You were using in the open tonight! When are you gonna get it through that thick skull that it's addictive you moron. Once you ascend you'll be as good as dead and don't you think I've lost enough of my family and the people I love!"
Reid raises his (fingerless) gloved hands in a show of surrender. He knows not to mess with this girl when she's this pissed off. In a fit of rage she uses and sends the boy flying through the air into a stack of glass bottles and walks away. Tyler runs over and helps his best friend up and as soon as they near Caleb the brunette asks if Reid was using last night, after they got home from the party.
"I didn't use later," Reid says a bit disoriented from his little flight.
Tyler helps Reid walk back into the bar so they can leave.
"He's lying, it had to have been him," Caleb says in a sigh.
"Why?" Pogue speaks for the first time in a while.
"It wasn't you or Max. Tyler doesn't have the balls to lie to me," then Sarah comes to the back door and asks if everything's alright. The boys just nod their heads.
Caleb drives Sarah to the dorms and they say good night. Once he sees that she is safely inside he drives away. The boy decides to head to his "baby sister's" house and check on her. After Max's outburst she might need someone to talk to. He drives past fields full of horses and turns into a long dusty driveway. After parking his car Caleb walks up to the big beautiful house and gives a knock before walking in.
"Max!" he yells trying to find out where she is.
When he finds her she is sitting on the railing of her deck, looking over the green fields. The boy leans on the railing next to her and silently waits for her to start the conversation.
"Don't ask me to apologize because I won't. He deserved it," the girl's voice sounds harsh as if she is about to start crying.
"I wasn't going to and you're right, it was stupid of him to be using in the open like that."
The two stay silent for a while longer before Max speaks again, "Why is it that Aaron can't understand that he's a dick and that I will never go out with him. Actually I think that's why he uses me to piss you guys off, because he knows he can get my attention that way."
"You're probably right. Then again you always are," Caleb says, trying to get her to laugh at the last part. He succeeds to an extent.
Max gives a small laugh and smile, "yeah, I know. Hey there's still two days before school starts maybe tomorrow everyone can come over here and go for a ride. Bring Sarah and Kate too, it'll be fun."
"You're trying to set me up aren't you," he asks with mock suspicion.
"Maybe…" her voice is as innocent as she can manage.
He laughs before giving her a hug and saying good night.
"So you gonna bring everyone over tomorrow?" she calls after him.
"I'll talk to them," he shouted as he got in his car. He drove away knowing she would be okay.
Max smiles then walks back into the house and lock everything up for the night before going upstairs.
