Zoe's POV:

Max had spent most of the night talking to Sam which I was confused about considering they barely know each other. I still haven't got over the fact that Linda had invited them all here. It had been a few hours and it was hitting midnight. Linda had decided to leave Luke and Patrick alone after there girlfriends flipped at her. They were all leaving now so we decided to walk to the door with them to say goodbye.

"Thanks for tonight Zoe, I hope everything works out for you" Sam said kissing my cheek. I hugged everyone else before they all left. As soon as I closed the door I locked it before going to get changed. I ran upstairs and got changed quickly before Max came in. When he came in I was just shoving my hair up.

"Zo are you alright?" he asked and I smiled at him.

"Of course" I said back but I could tell he didn't believe me. He just left me to it and went to get changed before going back downstairs. I just sat on my bed. I knew I was pushing him away but I would rather push him away now then get hurt even more further down the line. Kirsty came in a few minutes after Max left, I'm guessing he told her to come and talk to me.

"Why are you pushing Max away" she asked sitting next to me on the bed, giving me a can of coke.

"I can't help it" I said as a tear rolled down my cheek. I didn't even attempt to wipe it off I didn't have the energy.

"Talk to him Zo, he's worried about you" Kirsty said and I just nodded. She left and I got into bed and began to drink my can of coke with the light off. Kirst had closed the door as well so it was pitch black, at least that was better for my headache. Max came in and I tried to wipe the tears off of my face.

"Don't even try to tell me you haven't been crying" he said as he closed the door behind him. He knew better than to turn the light on so instead just got his phone out of his pocket and used the light on it to make his way over to me. When he got to the bed he climbed in putting his arm around me which I just shrugged off.

"What have I done Zo" he asked and I felt bad.

"Nothing" I said emotionlessly.

"Then what's up" he asked. Even though the room was dark I could sense his eyes on me.

"It's complicated" I said trying my hardest to put off telling him.

"We have all night Zo" he said getting comfortable.

"Do you love me" I asked him.

"Yeah" he said slowly to emphasise it.

"You know we aren't going to work though right?" I asked and he sighed.

"I know, but I will always love you" he said before kissing me.

"Can we make the most of this week, our last week together" I asked and I could sense he was smiling.

"Of course baby" he said before leaning in and kissing me passionately. I pulled away putting my coke on the floor before turning back to Max and kissing him once more.

1 hour later.

We went back downstairs to the others after sorting our hair and clothes out.

"You two made that obvious" Linda said smirking.

"Made what obvious" I said as innocently as I could.

"The fact that you have just spent the last hour having sex up there" she said and we burst out laughing.

"Please end this conversation" Robyn said and I just laughed at her.

"Don't pretend you and Lofty don't do it" Linda said and I couldn't help but laugh at how embarrassed she was. We sat down on the sofa considering we were in the living room. Max looked at me trying to take his attention away from the conversation that we were all having.

"You can't say that in front of her brother" Lofty said laughing.

"He's right Linds" I said and she gave me a look.

"What was that for" I asked her. She signalled for me to leave the room with her so I did.

"Why are you acting so normal" she asked and I must have looked confused considering I had no idea what she was on about.

"About what" I asked her.

"You and Max, you split up didn't you?" she asked and I looked confused again.

"And what gave you that idea?" I asked her and she looked at me like it was obvious.

"We heard you upstairs, you're splitting up at the end of the week. Is it because I kissed him" she said quickly.

"It's got nothing to do with you Linds we just know that it won't work when he changes school so we made a deal to end it at the end of the week" I said and she hugged me.

"I'm sorry, I know how much you like him" she said and I nodded.

"Coming back in" I said signalling to the door. She agreed and we walked in and they all had sympathetic looks on their faces.

"What are they all looking like that for" I whispered to Max as I sat down on his lap.

"We heard you and Linda" he said back and I knew instantly what he meant. I leant up and kissed him passionately.

"At least that's something we won't have to put up with all the time" Adam said causing us all to laugh. I leant into Max realising it was about half one in the morning. I was completely shattered and soon enough I was asleep.

Max's POV:

I felt Zo get heavier all of a sudden so I looked down and realised that she was asleep.

"One of you give us a hand taking her up?" I asked knowing I wouldn't be able to open the doors as well as carry her.

"I will" Robyn said getting up and opening the door for me. I got up cradling Zoe in my arms and began walking up the stairs.

"Max" she said but I hushed her.

"Before you say anything wait until I've put Zo down because I don't want her to wake up" I whispered and Robyn just smiled at me. We got to Zoe's room and she opened the door for me as I put Zo into bed, kissing her forehead before closing the door again quietly behind myself.

"Max, what's going on between you two" Robyn said as soon as the door closed. I went and sat at the top of the stairs not wanting the others to hear.

"She said we should end at the end of the week because otherwise it will be more painful in a few weeks when I meet someone else at my new school" I said to her.

"But you wouldn't do that, you love her Max" she said to me and I smiled.

"I know I do but if it's what she wants then I will do it" I said before getting up and we both walked back downstairs to the others.
