A/N: Some of you are going to hate me for this chapter, but it is part of my plan. I promise the next chapter will be better and more Phax (Phoebe and Max) moments.

Chapter 10
Phoebe POV
My mind was flooded with what just happened in the janitor's closet with Max. How could he just run of with Allison when he was the one loving me? Is this a way for him to get me back? I do like him but he doesn't care about that anymore. He's too busy seeing Allison. Life can be so unfair!
I walked out of the janitor's closet with a feeling of sadness and anger mixed together. I saw Cherry was standing at my locker waiting for me and I just didn't feel like speaking to her right now. I'm not in the mood for questions that I can't answer. I'm not in the mood at all.
"What was that all about?" Cherry asked as she points her thumb to the janitor's closet with a confused look on her face when I reached my locker.
"Just leave it," I said harshly.
"What's wrong Phoebe? Have you been crying?" Cherry asked me as she lifted my chin.
"No," I lied. "Must be something in the air," I said as I wiped off the tears that were trying to escape from my eyes.
"And nothing is wrong," I added another lie. I didn't want Cherry to know that I was mad at Max for taking Allison to the dance and I also don't want Cherry to know that I have feelings for Max. I know she isn't the brightest girl in Hiddenville but I can't risk it to tell her that I'm in love with my twin brother.
"Phoebe, I know when you are lying," she said as she looked at me with concern eyes. I'm not in the mood for this, dear God help me.
"I'm not lying!" I yelled as I slammed my locker with my fist. "God Cherry didn't I say earlier that nothing is wrong!?" I questioned her.
"I'm… I'm just trying to help" she stammered. I looked her straight in the eyes. I could feel the anger was building up inside me, and I don't know if I can control it.
"Well don't, just leave me alone," I said as I turned around and walked away leaving Cherry behind in the hallway. I wanted to turn around and apologize to her for being rude with her, but I wasn't in the mood for it so I just kept walking to my class. I sit down at my desk trying to forget about the events that happened.
As the teacher was busy teaching class I felt my phone buzzed in my back pocket. I pulled out my phone seeing a text message from Cherry.
Cherry:
I'm sorry about earlier, I didn't mean to upset you.
The reason why I'm texting you is, is that I came to the conclueshun (sorry for misspelling I suck at English) that we can't be friends anymore. Every time I'm trying to help you, you just push me away. I can't be friends with someone who doesn't trust me. I can't do this anymore. I'm sorry, I hope you understand.
My heart broke in pieces when I read the text message from Cherry. Losing a friend is more painful than losing a romantic relationship. Warm tears formed from my eyes, I tried to find a tissue in my back pack but it was no use, I used to borrow Cherry's tissues when I was crying. I quickly wiped the warm tears with my sleeve trying to focus my attention back on the teacher. But my attention couldn't keep up, my mind wandered off thinking about the situation with Max and Cherry. How is it possible that I lost the most important two people in my life in one day? What did I do to deserve this?
When I got home alone with no one at my side, I went straight for the couch. I plopped down as tears escape my eyes. Luckily Billy and Nora were still at school and Dad was in Metroburg for a meeting with President Kickbutt from the hero league and Mom…
"Hey sweetie..." Mom is at home. Mom's eyes went into concern as soon as she saw my crying on the couch.
"What's wrong?" she asked as she took a seat beside me.
"Nothing," I lied as I tried to hold back the tears looking up at the ceiling.
"I may be your mother Phoebe, but I know when something is wrong and you can't tell me it's nothing, that is when it is something," she told me which took me by surprised. I burst into tears as I leaned my head against her shoulder. Mom quickly wrapped her arms around me running her one hand through my hair.
"It is going to be okay sweetie, everything is going to be alright," she said as she rested her head on top of mine.
"No, it's not," I said as more tears came through my eyes. I can't believe I'm so emotionally unstable at the moment. It feels like that I didn't cried in years.
"Cherry ended our friendship Mom." Mom didn't say anything, I could feel she was shock at the information I told her. I lifted my head looking at my Mom. I could see she was worried and trying to find the right words to say.
"I'm so sorry, did she said why?" Mom asked. I could feel more tears were building up inside me. I didn't want to say it so I decided to show my Mom the text message from Cherry. It took a minute for her to read the text message. She then looked at me pulling me closer to her. I wrapped my arms around her
"Today wasn't really my day," I said as I held my mom's hands into mine. "I tried to be brave and strong, I tried to be…" I struggled as the crying noises made my voice a bit shaky.
"I wanted to protect myself and the only way I thought I could do that is to push away."
"So you pushed Cherry away?" my Mom asked trying to understand the situation.
"Not, not really… well yeah it seems to her that I'm pushing her away," I said as I wiped the tears away.
"She saw the tears in my eyes and I guess she was trying to help," the tears flooded from my eyes.
"She's always there for me and I'm just taking out all of my bad moods on her and she doesn't deserve it. Now I'm losing her because of it and it feels horrible!"
"I'm so sooo sorry sweetheart," she said as she held me tighter. The feeling of my head pressed against her chest made me feel a little bit better.
"Cherry is such a caring person towards me and she doesn't deserve a heartless friend like me."
"You are not a heartless friend Phoebe," Mom defended for me. "If you were heartless you wouldn't be here crying about it," she said which made me a little bit smile with my tears rolling down my cheeks.
"What exactly bothered you today that caused Cherry to worry?" Mom suddenly asked which made my heart skipped a beat.
"Would you believe me if I said I can't tell you right now? Could you just trust me?" I asked as I pulled back looking Mom straight in the eyes.
"Of course sweetie, I will always be here if you need me," Mom said softly as she kissed me on my forehead as a tear of her own escaped from her eyes. She then held me against her chest and I knew that I couldn't asked for a better Mom.
