(THE NEXT DAY)

MAXINE'S POV

After that night, I decided it would be best if he stayed with us and tell Sean in the morning. Although, that's what I would have done, if not for Eric telling me not to mention anything to Sean and that he would be out of town in a week. Eric was afraid that Sean might be angry with him. I told him that I could not make that promise and that Sean would want to know that he has returned.

"Please Maxine. I cannot let him know I'm here and I will NOT let him find out."

"I'm sorry Eric but I'm sure that Sean will be only too delighted that you are here, and yes, he will be mad at you and personally, I don't blame him. I have to tell him. This conversation is over."

I went to pick up the phone and Eric begged.

"Please! Don't do this to me, I'll be out of here by tonight, I promise!"

I started to dial the numbers to Sean's cell phone.

"MAXINE. DON'T DO THIS TO ME! SEAN WILL DISOWN ME!"

I heard it ring once……twice………

"MARK TESTED POSITIVE FOR HIV!"

I immediately hung up. "And do you have it?"

"I don't know. I was hoping you could take today off so I can go get tested for it."

"Now, Eric, you know I cannot do that."

I knew that I had to tell Sean about Eric but I had to think about how I'm going to say it, which is why I hung up the phone.

"Why not? Why can't you just take ONE day off of your work schedule to come with me and get this tested out? Please, Maxine. It would mean everything to me. You know how much you mean to me."

"Eric, if I meant that much to you before, then I don't understand why you left. If you cared about me THAT much, then you wouldn't have left in the first place."

"Please……Just for today. Don't tell Sean or Amy or anyone else……Tell Sean you're having family problems. Please. Just one day is all I ask of you."

I sighed and gave in. "Oh, all right. But if Sean questions me about anything, I will not hesitate to tell him what is going on."

"Thank you. You really are my hero for doing thing."

"And what are you going to do if you are tested positive?"

"I don't know. I really wouldn't want to test my life out of a bottle."

SEAN'S POV

"You're late!" I snapped at Maxine.

"I have to take the day off today, I am having some family issues. I just stopped by to pick up a high school student's transcripts so I can have an idea of the grades she gets. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Um, okay. What kind of family problems?"

"Amy is trying to plan out her wedding and I promised her that I would help pick out a dress."

"You're taking time off for family issues and now you are helping Amy choose out a dress……That doesn't sound like family issues Maxine. What's going on? You know you can talk to me."

"I will see you tomorrow Sean. Have a nice day."

I didn't even say she could have the day off. But she left anyway. After that, I went right back to work with a high school teenage drama queen/cheerleader. God forbid.

Other than that, something else was going on with Maxine……I knew there was. I decided to call Amy to see if she REALLY took off work. (Of course I had to look it up.)

I left her a message, asking her to call me back around lunch time.

"Amy, this is Sean. Um, listen I know this may sound weird and uncouth but um……something is going on with Maxine. She took the day off to go look for wedding dresses WITH YOU supposedly. If you're not there BECAUSE you're looking for a wedding dress, then I am sincerely sorry for this ignorant and embarrassing message. Call me back, thanks. Bye."

Maybe Maxine WAS telling the truth but I know how she is. Something isn't right. She wouldn't take a day off of work to look for wedding dresses right after saying she had family problems. A wedding dress is NOT a family problem.

AMY'S POV

"You have one message from Sean Potter, your mother's boss. He said your mother took off work to go look at dresses wedding dresses with you." Donna had sounded just as confused as I was getting.

"All right, thank you, Donna."

I picked up the phone eagerly and began to dial my mother's work but instead of asking for her, I asked for Sean and surprisingly, he was the one that had picked up.

"Hey, Hi, Sean? This is Amy."

"Amy! Hello, so I'm guessing my thoughts were as confusing as yours now that I get a phone call back."

"No, I didn't go out with my mother to look at wedding dresses, I'm at work and I have been all day."

Donna was waving and dancing in front of me and finally, she wrote down, "Your mother said to tell Sean that you went out looking for wedding dresses!"

"Oh, well um……Do you know where she went? I don't appreciate being lied to nor do I appreciate the fact that she used the family problems excuse to take off work when it's not really an emergency."

"I don't know where she could be Sean. I really wish I could tell you but I just don't know where she is if she's not there. I'm sorry. Did you try her cell?"

"Yes, I tried already. She has it off. It's okay. If you hear from her, tell her that I am eager to speak with her please?"

"Of course I will. Believe me, I have my time of questioning to do as well."

"All right, call me back. Bye.

"Bye."

As I hung up with Sean, I immediately called my mother and left her a voice message almost yelling at her as to why she lied about where she was going and with whom she was with.

"What if she's with her boyfriend? The gardener?" Donna asked.

"If she were to have taken a day off of work to spend with her boyfriend, then she would have told Sean what she was REALLY doing. She wouldn't have lied and I'm sure Sean would have understood. I just don't know what is up with her right now."
