A/N: I really appreciate the reviews guys! Here's the new chapter. Sorry it's kind of short.

I had just gotten out of the shower when my phone rang. I had just wrapped a towel around my waist and was in the process of rubbing my wet hair with a towel when I brought my phone to my ear.

"Hello?" I asked. No one ever calls me.

"Fang, you're going to totally kill me." It was Max. "I'm not bailing, well actually I am kind of bailing but it has nothing to do with you. Mac is hardcore sick and he's been throwing up all night. I think he ate something bad. Anyway, he is getting a little better but I just can't leave him like this. He's so miserable and I just want to be here for him in case-"

"Max, it's cool," I said.

"Are you sure because I was really looking forward to hanging out?"

I wanted to invite myself over to her place but I thought that might make her uncomfortable.

"Want me to bring you anything?" I asked her. "Maybe some ginger ale for Mac?"

That at least made her laugh a little.

"No, but why don't you stop by," she said casually even though it made my heart race. "We can maybe just hang out here."

"Alright, sounds good," I said. "I'll be over in a little bit."

"Ok, I'll see you soon then," she said. "Bye."

"Bye."

I hung up and put my phone back on the counter. I looked at myself in the mirror. My nose is crooked, but I think Max kind of likes it. It'll be a good afternoon.

…

Three hours later I was sitting on the couch in Max's motel room. Somehow we ended up watching The Notebook. I didn't want to watch it but somewhere in there Max tricked me. It's still a little fuzzy how it all happened. Either way here we were. Mac was passed out on one side of the couch with his head in Max's lap. Max was pressed against my side and I was pressed against the side of the couch. I wasn't sure if I should put my arm around her or if she wasn't ready for that yet or if I wasn't ready for that yet.

I glanced over at Max to see her staring intently at the screen while absentmindedly petting Mac's head while he dozed off. I hadn't really been paying attention throughout the movie but it must've been a sad part because Max's eyes were getting all watery.

She leaned her head against my chest and then I knew that it was ok to put my arm around her because it just felt right. I felt a warm drop of water fall onto my shirt and when I looked down Max was full on crying. She only cried for a minute or two and then the movie ended.

"You weren't kidding," I told her. "You do cry during this movie."

"It's just really sad," she said. She reached up to wipe her eyes so I tugged her closer to me.

"Any other movies that make you cry?" I asked her.

"No," she said, laughing at my fake optimistic face.

"I'll get you some water," I told her.

I slipped out from next to her and grabbed water out of the mini fridge. I opened it and then handed it to her carefully.

"Fang, are we dating?" Max asked me.

"I don't know," I answered quickly, happy that she was being blunt.

"Well I'm not going to kiss other boys," she said. "I'm also kind of hoping that you won't kiss other girls."

"Just kissing?" I asked, smirking a little.

"I won't hang out with other boys romantically and I hope you'll do the same with girls," she said.

"So you want us to be exclusive?" I asked. It's not like I'm going around with other girls now anyway, but it's good to get this stuff cleared up.

Max nodded while not looking at me.

"I'm happy with that," I said. "Anything else?"

"Yeah, are we dating?"

"You already asked that," I said.

"And you haven't answered," she said.

I looked her over while she fixed her stare on me.

"You tell me, Max," I said. I leaned down and rested my arm against the back of the couch so I was leaning right in close to her. "Are you still scared of me?" I cocked an eyebrow and waited for her answer nervously.

She audibly gulped and looked away. "Terrified."

"Why?" I asked.

"Because I like you and I'm leaving," she said.

"When are you leaving?" For the first time this seemed incredibly important to me.

She shrugged. "When I have to."

"How about we just don't a put a name to it?" I offered.

Max nodded slowly.

"Now, why don't I take Mac out and you relax a minute and pick out another movie for us to watch."

"Sounds good."

We left it at that and I was happy where we left it. I hooked Mac up to his leash and then I took him out and I was actually really happy to be where I was.

A/N: Again, sorry it was kind of short. If you guys review I'll update again soon because I know this was a lot shorter than usual.
