(Chapter 10) (Reality)

(Phoebe's P.O.V)

I had the worst dream last night, Theo turned out to be a jerk and he hurt Max! The cops arrested Theo. But that was just a dream. Sitting up I rub my eyes and yawn. Why am I in Max's room? Oh. It hits me. That wasn't a dream. That really happened. I can't believe Theo turned out to be such a jerk! He was so sweet and kind! But it was all a lie. I need to move on from him. It's just so hard to find a nice guy in this small town.

"Phoebe?" Opps I woke Max up. Gosh he has the most attractive morning voice ever!

"Sorry I didn't mean to wake you up"

"Nah I was going to get up anyway, How are you feeling?"

"Better" I smile at him "Thanks for letting me sleep with you." Wait that sounded wrong "I mean not sleep with you... umm share the bed with you? I mean.."

He just laughs "Yeah I get it and your welcome"

I run my fingers through my messy hair "What about you, how are you feeling?"

"Well I finally don't have a head ace so I think that's a good sign" He sits up "I am glad you are yourself again"

"It's good to be back"

"Although the old Phoebe was pretty hott" He smirks. There is the old Max

I elbow his side and get out of bed "What do you want for breakfast smirks-alot?"

"PANCAKES! I AM STARVING!"

"Coming right up twinsie" I laugh heading up the stairs

"Whats up with all the nick names?!"

The house is still kinda messy. Nothing my powers can't fix! I need to make breakfast first. It's 10:46 right now. I get all of the pancake batter made and start cooking it. Max comes upstairs shirtless. Does he EVER wear a shirt?!

"Gonna shower Pheebs" He walks in the bathroom

"Kay breakfast is almost done"

I wonder what Cherry is doing today. I flip a pancake and put another on a plate. CHERRY! I was SUCH A JERK TO HER! I pull out my phone and call her. She is on speed dial.

"You have reached Cherry... not the fruit Cherry but me Cherry! Anyway I must be busy so leave me a message!"No answer. Come on Cherry! Answer your phone!

Holding my cell to my face I put the other pancakes on the plate and get out the maple syrup. I have called her 3 times now!

Phoebe: Cherry PLEASE call me back! I really need to talk to you! ):

Phoebe:I know you... you just don't want to talk to me right now but I really messed up!

Phoebe: I won't stop calling you till you answer

Phoebe: Don't make me run to your house. Because I will!

Phoebe:Please answer ):

I have called her 9 times now and texted her 5 times.

"AGH!" I throw my phone and it lands on the couch. I put my elbow on the counter and my head in my hand

I lost my best friend. The person I tell everything to. It's all Theo's fault. I am so mad! I need to brake something. I run upstairs to my room and find the heart shaped necklace Theo gave me on the floor where Max threw it. I don't want to touch it so I levitate it into the wall. That didn't do anything! Using my heat breath I try burning it but that doesn't work either!

"F is for friends who do stuff together U is for you and me!" That's my phone! It's the ringtone for when Cherry calls me! I am running so fast I feel like I could be Billy.

"Hello? Cherry?"

"What do you want Phoebe." She has been crying by the sound of her voice

"I really messed up" I confess

"I don't want to talk to you Phoebe I only called you back to tell you not to call me anymore"

"Then don't talk, listen." She doesn't say anything so I continue "I wasn't myself for the past couple of days. I think it was because I was dating Theo. Having a boyfriend changed me. It isn't like when I was dating Cole because Cole was a good guy. Theo on the other hand, not so much. So I broke up with him and took a look in the mirror. You were right. I wasn't myself. You were trying to help me and I was a jerk to you. You didn't deserve that! And I am SO sorry! I understand if you don't want to forgive me. I just had to apologize so you know that I am sorry and that you are and always will be my best friend." I am trying to hold back tears. She still isn't saying anything,I look at my phone she is still on the line. "Well thanks for listening" I am about to hang up but she stops me

"Phoebe wait! Don't hang up!" She is crying "I didn't think you would call me or even care to talk to me after the party." She laughs "And after hearing your apology" She sniffs "Phoebe Thunderman you are making me cry!" She laughs "I forgive you"

"Really? Oh my gosh YAY! I though I lost you! So what are you doing today, do you want to hang out?"

"I can't. Because I am not in HiddenVille right now. My dad wanted to go on a road trip and we are at a rest stop right now. People are giving me weird looks because I was crying haha!"

"Well when you get back we NEED to hang out!" I laugh

"You talk SO loud!" Max comes out of the shower with only a towel raped around his waist. Oh my is so attractive!

"Ssssh shuuu" Agh I can't talk! "Shut up Max I'm on the phone!"

Cherry laughs "I should probably let you go. See you soon bestie"

I laugh "Okay see you soon. Keep in touch girly! Bye!" I hang up smiling

Max gives me a look "What?"

"Who was that? Do I need to beat up another guy?"

"What no! That was Cherry! I wouldn't call a guy girly haha!" I laugh at him

"Yeah whatever! Are the pancakes done!?" He runs in the kitchen

"Yes they are" I walk next to him "but you can only eat them if you get dressed"

"Whyyyy?" He complains

My eyes trail down to his abs. They are so shiny it's hard not to look at them.

Max looks up at me and clears his throat

My face heats up "wh...what?"

"I distract you..don't I?" He slowly moves closer to me

I put my hand on his stomach to keep him a certain distance away from me. Don't want to kiss him again.Or do I? No. That would be bad. My hand..is on his abs... my face turns even more red

Max smirks "What have you never touched a stomach before?"

What am I doing?! I take my hand off his stomach. "As the matter of fact I have...Just go change!"

"Yes mom" He laughs going to his room

That was so embarrassing! But I can't help but laugh at it.

"ALERT ALERT! PARENTS VIDEO CHAT" the t.v goes off

"Agh" I go into the living room and sit on the couch

Mom, dad, Billy, and Nora's faces pop up

"Hi Phoebe!" Mom smiles "Where is Max?"

"He is in his room. How is Hawaii?"

"It's AWESOME!" Billy and Nora shout

Max comes up the stairs "Agh I though I herd the sound of you people"

"Well 'us people' decided to make reservations for you guys at Stake House tomorrow night" Dad says

"It's not Hawaii girls but I guess that will do" Max shrugs

"Max what happened to you?" Mom starts to freak out "Are you okay? Hank I think we need to.."

"I'm fine mom I fell."

"Fell into what?" Billy asks

"I fell down the stairs and ran into the wall okay? No big deal!" He rolls his eyes

"Okay! If you say so" Nora says "Mom it's my turn to pick what we do today lets go!" She tugs on her arm

"Okay okay!" She continues "Well we just thought we would check in on you two"

"We want you guys to know that we love you. And when we get back we will have a bunch of family fun" Dad smiles

"Great" Max mumbles

I elbow him in the shoulder "We love you to right Max"

He rubs his arm "Yeah whatever"

"Bye kids" They turn the video chat off

"Can we eat now?" He wines

"You really must be hungry" I raise my eyebrows at him

"Well I haven't eatin since Theo kidnapped me, so yeah i'm hungry" He goes to the kitchen and puts 5 pancakes on his plate

Mom and dad were nice to make reservations at Stake house for us. Hmm it's kinda like a... date. Just the two of us at a fancy place eating dinner. The thought of that makes me smile.
