The sound of the door opening and closing aroused Georgie from her slumber. She rolled over to face Maxie who was crouching next to the bed.
"Did you just get home?"
"yup."
"Maxie, its three in the morning!"
"I know."
Maxie was unable to conceal the smile that was spread across her glowing face.
"Maxie you didn't do it, did you?"
Maxie didn't have to answer her, the smile told all.
"You did."
Georgie groaned and collapsed back onto the pillow.
"Georgie, it was wonderful! I had the best experience of my life tonight."
"I'm sure you won't feel that way in the morning."
But Maxie wasn't paying attention.
"He's so wonderful...I've never been held like that."
Georgie just rolled her eyes
"Maxie, its late, I'm going to go back to sleep now."
Georgie rolled over, turning her back away from her sister.
"This better be good." She said to herself.
Maxie was in her room staring at the computer screen in front of her. Her panic striken face pulled her sister closer to her; she wanted to know what all of the fuss was about.
There on the computer screen in plain veiw to every student at PC High, was a video of Maxie and Kyle, having sex in his bedroom. Tears began to stream down Maxie's face.
"Kyle." Georgie said.
"NO! Kyle wouldn't do this,he's not like that..."
"Maxie why won't you listen? Kyle set you up! Its all one big game to him. He doesn't care who he hurts."
"It was his friends!It had to be...You don't know him like I do!"
"YOU barely know him!"
Maxie was openly sobbing now. She got up from the desk and walked into the ajacent bathroom. Georgie could hear her turn on the faucet, and the water gushing into the bowl of the sink. After turning of the computer, she follwed her sister.
"Kyle's friends do what he tells them. All of them together couldn't scrape up enough brain cells to pull this one off. He's the leader... they follow his orders."
Maxie slammed her hands down on the hard, marble countertop and turned her face to look at her sister. Her eyes narrowed and her cheeks became inflamed with red.
"Kyle would not do this!"
"He dissed you once..."
"Thats over!"
Maxie splashed her face with cold water and tried to choke her sobs, but it was useless. The sound of the door bell ringing caused Georgie to swallow the words forming in her mouth.
"I'll get it."
Georgie turned and ran downstairs, fully prepared to slam the door in Kyle's face, if it was him. She was happy to see Lucas's face in the window as she crossed the living room to the front door. Putting her best smile on she threw the door open, but Lucas pushed past her.
"Maxie!" Lucas yelled, pushing past Georgie and heading for the foot of the stairs.
Georgie stood there by the open door, and watched as Maxie ran crying down the stairs and right into Lucas's waiting arms.
"Everythings going to be okay, I promise." Lucas's hand began to rub the back of Maxie's head.
Georgie was crushed. He hadn't even noticed that she was there.
"Dillon was right..." She wispered under her breath.
She felt like crying, she had to get out. The next thing Lucas heard was the sound of the door slamming.
