First off I would like to apologize to NJ7009 because I didn't have enough time to update the story for her birthday. And also I would like to thank all of y'all for being so patient with me. I will still fight you all for Max and Atom. Well here is the 10th chapter. Please enjoy!

Fingers shaking rapidly, I punched in Amanda's number.
"Amanda?" I asked, voice cracking.
"Avalon, sweetie, you're crying. I'm on my way." She told me as I hid into the ladies' room. There was no chance I was going risk running into Max. I don't think I could take much more of this. I walked outside after Amanda let me know that she was outside of the hotel.
AT CASA DE TRAINER…
"Sweetie, do you wanna talk about it?" Amanda asked, brushing strands of hair from my face. I slowly nodded. I just needed to let this all out.
"I really loved him, Mom." I sobbed as she hugged me.
"I know hunny, I know." She mumbled into my hair. I didn't need this. I must focus on winning this championship and nothing else.
"Alright let's do this. I gotta practice. We are going to win this thing right?" I asked, getting up and walking to the gym.
I sucked in a deep breath and let out all of my emotions towards the punching bag. By the time I finished, about 4 of the bags lay busted on the floor. "Woah kid, nice work. Well come on and go to bed." Amanda told me, shooing me off to my new room.
Max
After my fight with Avalon, I took a walk to cool off a bit. I probably shouldn't have said the things I did but, I just didn't want to lose her. She was a part of me. I needed to apologize to her. I love her too much to let her go like this.
Walking back into the hotel room, I saw two notes. One from Charlie saying that he went to go get some stuff and an envelope with my name on it in that slightly slanted writing that I knew too well.
Max,
I know you're probably really mad at me still, but I needed to tell you this. I never meant to hurt you. The reason I didn't tell you about my mom is because I didn't want to risk losing everything. My whole life I have been wondering what my life with my mom would have been like. I finally had that chance. The only way I could keep this up and not put our relationship in danger, is keep it a secret from you. I knew I loved you way too much to even consider ruining everything we had. I was scared that I would lose everything. I hoped to have the best of both worlds but I guess that wasn't a reality. I can't describe how hard it is to say goodbye to you, especially like this.
Love, Avalon
P.S. I have always loved you.
My heart felt like an lead weight as I finished reading the letter. I felt like an total jerk for acting like this. And now she was gone. I guess I would have to make the best of this and win this thing. Not just for Charlie, or myself, for Avalon. I just lost my best friend, my everything. I now wish I could at least tell her how I really felt about her.
Hey guys, this story is coming to an end pretty soon. Don't cry yet though, I'm making a sequel with twice the drama. And by the way the last chapter will leave y'all on the edge of your seats screaming at the screen. It's going to be BIG! It was hard not to get emotional writing this chapter. So good nite to ya lovelys!
