Chapter 2

Max

I breathed a sigh of relief when we ended up at our hotel, the atmosphere was really cold and tense as we got in the cab, Tammy was still in a bad mood with Kyle and Michael, Alex wasn't bothered about who he was sharing with, he respected the girl's decisions to share together.

"Do you think we'll survive this holiday?" Jake asked from beside me as he kept an eye on his girlfriend.

"I have no idea." I told him and he sighed.

"Do you have any idea why the guys are acting weird?" he asked. "They have been driving Tammy up the wall and you know what she is like, if she's not happy, then I'm not happy." He informed me and I nodded.

"I noticed it too." I told him, Jake loved Tammy a lot and when she wasn't happy, Jake sought out to fix whatever was making her unhappy, I do the same with Liz. " I don't have a clue why the guys are acting weird." I told him as the bellboy came over and helped us to pack our suitcase onto the golden suitcase holder.

"Whatever it is, they need to sort it out and fast cause I have a feeling that Tammy is going to be showing that she has a breaking point soon." Jake warned and I nodded, I had noticed that little sister has been under a lot of pressure, even more than holding Liz's secret and it makes me wonder what is upsetting her so much that it is pushing her near toward the edge.

We all made it into the hotel and saw that everyone was standing around the counter; my parents were receiving the card keys for our room.

"What took your guys so long?" Tammy asked as she came over to us with a smirk and I was relieved to see some of the old Tammy back. "The suitcases too heavy for you?" she teased and I laughed.

"Yeah, with all of Isabel's make up in the one suitcase, it was getting heavily to carry." I teased back and ended up with a slap to my head from Isabel.

"Cheeky." She told me with a smirk and I smiled innocently at her and she rolled her eyes as she moved over toward my dad.

"What is it with you two?" I heard Liz ask as she came up beside use. "You have been taking to riling up Isabel all day." She told us, and Tammy shrugged.

"I just realised that I had let Isabel have an easy summer." Tammy told us, and Jake laughed.

"Yeah, while giving the rest of us the dog house." He told her and she smirked.

"Don't piss me off and you'll be fine." Tammy teased as she kissed Jake's cheek before grabbing his hand and they both walked over to the counter and Liz looked at me, waiting for my answer.

"Same as Tammy." I told her as I bent down and kissed her gently on the lips, going without kissing her for hours kinda made me a little horny.

"Do you want to leave it for behind doors?" we heard a male voice teased and we broke apart to see Alex standing there with a smirk and to see our parents standing there, waiting.

"Sorry." Liz told them and my mom shook her head, I knew that she was still blaming god for giving her a hormonal son.

"Right guys, you are in room 19, girls, you are in Room 21, Tammy and Jake, room 17, Max and Liz, Room 22." Mom told us and I nodded as I took our key and led Liz up to our room while the other followed us, I could hear Michael and Kyle grumbling while Alex sighed and shook his head. I really had a bad feeling that Alex wasn't going to be happy today.

Liz

Max and I made it to our room, we stepped in and I gasped when I saw our surrounding, there was a balcony over looking the beach and the pool was beneath us, the bed was a queen size, it was amazing.

"Amazing isn't it?" Max asked and I nodded.

"Yes." I breathed out as he wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed the base of my neck before looking out into the sea once more.

There was a knock at the door and he went to answer it, the bellboy was standing there.

"Just came to deliver your bags." He explained and Max nodded.

"Sure, just sit it on the bed." Max told him and the boy nodded as I looked out toward the beach once more. I could feel the peace washing over me and I felt safe.

I, vaguely, heard Max tip the bellboy before he came over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist once more, holding me close to his body. I sighed as I rested my head on his chest.

"It's peaceful." I whispered and he smiled slightly.

"At the moment." He teased and I laughed as I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck as he bent down and kissed me, I missed his kisses, we hadn't kissed in hours and it had made me a little grumpy, I slid one hand into his hair and held on as he took me to heaven before bringing me back down as he pulled away, both of us breathing heavily for air.

"We better unpack otherwise we'll never get it done." He reminded and I nodded as I pulled away from him and walked over to the bed.

We both started unpacking when Max finally asked me the question I know that had been burning in his mind for a long time.

"What do you think is wrong with Tammy?" Max asked and I looked up at him and sighed.

"She's feeling confused." I told him and he looked at me, so I sat down and patted the bed next to me, motioning him to sit next to me. "Tammy has been like a personally protector to me since she found out the truth, I think she is having a little hard time letting go and add in the boys being in a bad mood, I get the feeling that she knows why they are acting like this and is taking it out on everyone else cause she has no idea how to deal with it." I told him and he shook his head.

"Do you think she'll be okay?" he asked and I shrugged.

"I have no idea Max, I have never seen her this confused before and let me tell you; this whole situations with Michael and Kyle is not helping one bit." I told him.

"I hope it will sort itself out, I hate seeing her like this." He whispered and I nodded as I hugged him, I knew how he felt, I hated seeing Tammy looking so confused and lost, it was a difference to seeing Tammy sassy, upbeat and ready to take on the world.

"WILL YOU GUYS SHUT UP?" We all heard a male voice shout and we realised it was Alex, we both ran out only to bump into Tammy, Jake, Maria, Isabel and Tess. "WE DON'T GIVE A FUCKING DAMN THAT YOU ARE NOT SHARING A ROOM WITH THE GIRLS, ALL I WANT FOR THIS HOLIDAY IS A CHANCE TO RELAX AND LET LIZ GET OVER HER TURMOIL, NOT TO HEAR YOU LOT GOING ON AND ON HOW EVERYTHING IS NOT GOING YOUR WAY!"

"Wow, I didn't even know that Alex could shout." Maria stated and I nodded in agreement, in all of our years, we've never heard Alex raise his voice at anyone.

"Guess he finally lost it." Tammy muttered as she headed back into the room.

I saw Jake sigh as he followed his girlfriend into the room and shut the door behind him, I knew that he was going to demand for answers and just hoped to god that Tammy would let him.

The girls shook their head, amazed at what just happened as they made their way back to their bedroom while I looked up at my fiancé.

"You realise that we haven't made out in hours right?" he asked and I laughed as I grabbed the lapel of his shirt and dragged him back to our room, intending to do a lot more than making out tonight.

Tammy

"Okay Tammy, tell me what is going on." I heard Jake told me from behind me and I looked at him.

"What?" I asked and he shook his head as he took my hand and led me over to the bed and sat us down.

"You think I haven't noticed that you have been extremely pissed off with the boys, Tammy, you've been snapping their heads off." He told me and I sighed.

"Sorry, I have just been having a bad feeling." I told him.

"What kind of bad feeling?" he asked and I looked at him.

"That they might destroy Max and Liz's relationship." I whispered and he looked confused.

"Tammy?" he asked and I sighed.

"Ever since the whole promise ring that Max gave Liz for Christmas last year, it kinda struck me that they are not as happy about Max and Liz's relationship." I explained.

"They were just annoyed that Max gave Liz something expensive." He told me and I scoffed.

"Did you hear any of the girls get on to the boys for not getting them something expensive?" I asked and his face turned to understanding.

"No." he whispered and I nodded.

"It's just, I get this feeling that they like Liz more than just a friend and are taking it out on Max." I told him before sighing. "It's stupid." I muttered and he wrapped an arm around my body and pulled me closer.

"I don't think it is, it makes sense." He explained and I looked up at him.

"But it could also mean that they feel trapped." I protested and he looked at him.

"Are you second guessing yourself?" he asked and I looked at him, puzzled. "Tam, you never second guess yourself, your gut instincts are always right." He told him and I sighed.

"I just don't know what to feel anymore." I whispered as I rested my head against his chest, tired of my feelings fighting against each other, I was tired of being confused about everything, all I ever wanted was to have peace on holiday, to be with the people I love and not worry about thing but it looks like I'm not going to get my wish.
