Max felt like Liz had just ripped his heart out of his chest and was stamping on it, how could she be with another? His vision started to blur from the tears forming in his eyes, he had to get out of there.
"We I, er wish you both the best of luck" Max said quietly, he couldn't get himself to think straight. Liz had a boyfriend!
"I'm so sorry Max, I..." Liz said apologising but Max interrupted.
"I just remembered, I have to help my mum with...um with the..er dinner" Max said quickly getting up out of the booth, "Goodbye Liz" Max whispered pausing for a second in front of her. That statement was more than just a simple goodbye, to him it meant the end of their relationship even though Liz said goodbye months ago. Max darted for the door, he didn't want her to try and apologise again. She hadn't done anything wrong, why couldn't she move on?

Liz watched as Max make a quick exit after her confession. How could she do that to him? Liz sank into the booth with a sigh, she just wanted the ground to swallow her up. She replayed the event in her head slowly, the look on his face was one she wouldn't forget. It was one of shock, anger and the worst of all...pain. A life without Max was not a life worth living.
"Liz? Are you ok?" Joshua asked crouched down next to the door "Who was that guy?"
"I'm just tired, working really takes it out of you" Liz said getting up from the booth and moving towards the counter. She did hear Joshua ask about Max but she really didn't want to talk about that right now especially to him.
"Well do you mind if I take off for a while, this guy invited me to this new club that's apparently opening down just outside town. Do you mind? I can stay if you want, it wouldn't.." Joshua explained standing behind her as she sorted out the next set of orders on the counter.
"Yea sure, go right ahead. Have fun!" Liz said turning around, "Just come up my ladder when you get back so you don't wake my parents" Liz explained with a smile
"Thanks, you're the greatest!" Joshua said wrapping Liz up in a hug
"The greatest" Liz mumbled with a sigh against his shoulder, she couldn't believe she'd been such a bitch to Max.
"Well I better be off then, don't wait up!" Joshua shouted as he practically ran out of the Crashdown. Liz watched as he jumped into a car and gave her a little wave. Joshua was great, everything she could ask for but he wasn't Max.

Max flopped down on his bed, what was he gunna do? Liz had basically abandoned him, he was lost without her. Usually he would either spend his evenings with Liz, writing to her or calling her but now he couldn't do any of those. Max climbed off the bed and moved over to his CD collection, he always listened to depressing music when he felt low. Max put his David Grey album on, that's depressing enough he thought. Max grabbed the pad of paper which was sitting on his desk, sat down on the end of his bed and started to write. He always found that writing was a way of releasing all his emotions, if he just left them inside without sharing them they became his life and he slowly started to shut down. He found it hard to share his feelings with anyone so he just wrote them down, it always made him feel better.
"Max honey, dinner's ready" Mrs Evans called out from down the hall
"I'm not really hungry mom, I eat at the Crashdown earlier" Max explained. He hadn't actually eaten all day but he couldn't stomach anything right now.
"Oh well i'll leave something in the cupboard for later then sweetie" Mrs Evans replayed walking back into the kitchen. Max felt like locking the door, turning off the light and spending the whole evening by himself, not socialising with anyone. Max always wished he could just turn the world off for awhile but he knew that was impossible.
Max looked at the clock, it was 9:00. It was too early to go to sleep, what could he do? He knew what he wanted to do, he wanted to go see Liz. Why couldn't he? Just because she had a boyfriend didn't mean he couldn't be friends with her.

"I'm off now Liz, see you tomorrow" Maria shouted from the back room
"Okay, night" Liz shouted back as she brushed the floor of the cafe. Maria had surprised her, she hadn't bugged her for details about her little confrontation with Max earlier. It wasn't Maria's business anyway but Maria never saw it that way, she always needed to know everything about everyone.
Liz finished up downstairs in the cafe and headed up to her room for a nice long bath. Liz started to run the bath while she cleared up her room a little, Joshua had turned it into a complete mess.
Liz sinked low in the bath so that the water covered most of her body. Liz went through all the events of the day, the event that stuck out most was when she was with Max. It always was, he made her forget about anything else in the world like he was the only one who exsisted at that very moment in time. Right she had to sort through her thoughts, Max had been her boyfriend but she broke up with him when she heard his destiny. She met Joshua at her aunts and brought him back here. It was obviously going to cause some kind of stir bringing him back here so soon after the break up but she had to move on some time right? Liz looked at her watch, it was about 9:00 already. Liz climbed out of the bath and got dry, she wanted some alone time before Joshua got back. Liz pulled on her baggy trousers and tank top, grabbed her diary and headed out onto her balcony. She lied down on her sun lounger and began to write. She wanted to record every moment, every feeling that she had experienced today.
"Liz!" What was that? Liz thought, that sounded like...like Max!
"Liz!" There it was again, she moved over to the wall and peered down onto the street below. It WAS Max!
"Can I come up? I think we need to talk"
