So sorry for posting so late :( but here it is. I already wrote the next chapter so you'll see it in a few days. Please review.
Alvin slammed the front door in Max's face, nearly hitting the boy's nose. Max frowned, his heart sinking deeper. "Shred" He called, walking into the living room. Alvin didn't answer, choosing to stomp up the stairs instead. Max knew this was bad. He ran up. The door to their room was closed. HE grabbed the handle and as he suspected it was locked. "Shred let me in" He called through the door, voice cracking. There was no answer. "Please" he cried but it got stuck in his throat and sounded like a gag. He waited, occasionally trying the handle but every time it didn't budge and every time part of his soul peeled away. Twenty minutes of waiting and Max was banging his fists on the door. "Shred we need to talk." He shouted, but it didn't even sound close to anger. It sounded like a dying man calling out a last plea for help. And to Max that's what it felt like.
He backed up, eyes prickling. His back hit the wall and with a tiny whimper he slid to the ground. "Alvin" He squeaked out. It was too quiet to even reach the door. He felt like he lost all energy. "Please" he whispered, bringing his legs to his chest. He burrowed his head into his legs and wept. He didn't know how long he sat there but the sun had set and stars were already shining in the sky. Vaguely through his foggy mind he remembered the rest of Shred's family was visiting some sick relative. HE was alone and truly alone. Not even Shred was there to dry his tears. His burning eyes began to droop and even though it hurt to close them he did. He knew he'd still be crying if he hadnt run out hours ago.
Alvin was wearing headphones, not bothering to even listen to Max's nocking. He'd go away eventually. Why would he stay if he was just going to make out with girls? It would have been one thing if it had been before or after they were dating but Max had admitted to kissing her during the one day, literally one day that they had been together.
Shred flopped down on the bed and closed his eyes. His heart felt cold in his chest. He always knew Max was straight. He'd just been confused. He shouldn't feel hurt by what he'd already know. But it hurt so much. He was surprised that he hadnt cried. He locked those tears deep down in his soul. HE wouldn't let Max see him like that. He was furious with Max.
The music blared into his ears, too loud for him to even comprehend the words. He assumed they were as angry as he felt. That girl called him a FAG! The bitch had walked up to him and treated him like he was an animal. She called him a freak of nature and told Max to kill him. What was that psychopath thinking?
He growled, lips pursed. He wanted to punch that fucking ass in the face. Again! That moment had made him feel a little better but it did nothing to temper his fury. Now he needed to let those emotions slide away. He had to keep calm. He didn't want to punch Max in the face or the gut or both. HE didn't want to slam him to the ground and kick him. HE didn't want to do those things and knew if he saw him right now that would be exactly what he would do. And the worst part was he knew Max would let him do it. HE wouldn't raise a finger to defend himself. He cared too much.
Alvin awoke feeling a lot better. He was still angry but not with Max. That girl had been the problem. He loved Max but he was straight and couldn't help his feelings. Not only that but Max had defended him. He'd said he loved him. That alone made his anger dissipate. He glanced over at the snowboarder's bed. The covers were in a mess but they hadnt been moved since the night before. That's right, he'd locked Max out. He locked Max out! Alvin growled, hitting his head. Max had to seep on the couch. Admittedly it wasn't that bad but still it was a mean thing to have done. He'd have to apologize. Maybe he'd make Max breakfast. That would be a good way to say sorry. With that in mind he unlocked and opened the door. What he saw made him freeze.
"Max" He whispered. Across the hall Max was curled in a ball on his side, sleeping. He was huddled so into himself that Alvin was shocked he could look so small. He really did look small. HE looked like a child. The more he looked the worse he felt. Tears were still dripping down Max's face. He was crying in his sleep!
How long had he been there? Did he stay the whole day? Had he not left since he first started trying to get in their room? No that was impossible. Wasn't it? Shred didn't want to think about that. He really hoped it wasn't true and if it was he never wanted to be told.
"Max" he whispered, kneeling down next to his shivering friend.
"Shred" He mumbled, without opening his eyes. "Sred I'm srry" he murmured in his sleep.
"Max wake up" Alvin said louder touching his roommate's shoulder.
"Shrd I lve you. I lob you so mrch. I'm srry. I'm srry. I'm" he mumbled back, more tears streaming from his eyes. "I'm ssorry"
"Max!" Shred begged. He did this! Max was weeping! How could this happen! He shook the other boy's shoulder hard until two brown eyes shot open.
It wasnt the full out fight that I'd planned or the romantic get back together than you were probably expecting but they might still happen in the next chapter. What of Max is angry at Alvin for locking him out and leaving him there all night (Probably not) or Shred still doesnt want to get back together. (very possible) or they begin to fight again or they might both die *Evil Laugh* (If you dont get it please read my other fanfiction but I think I just gave away an ending or did I?)
