-- Tony --

It's been 3 month since the accident, 2months lying in hospital and a month of lying in my bed, of Michelle coming round everyday, of missing the outdoors and strangely enough missing Maxxie. I couldn't figure out why but for some reason the blonde shorty wouldn't leave my thoughts alone, I mean they weren't sexual thoughts they were more like: 'I wonder if Max is doing alright' or 'I wonder if me and Max are still friends cause he hasn't been round to visit'. That was something that upset me as well it seemed the only person who cared to visit me was Michelle. Sid had visited me once and had kept getting phone calls from Cassie (who he bragged was his girlfriend and that he'd found love and sex) so after about half an hour I excused him and he couldn't get out my room quick enough. Chris had come round with Jal one time as well, shortly after I got out of the hospital. Chris rambled on about college, fucking Angie, parties, fucking Angie, a new dealer and fucking Angie. Jal on the other hand asked me if I was feeling any better and when I had said no she simply nodded and didn't speak for the next two hours that Chris did. As for Maxxie and Anwar they hadn't even asked for me.

So here I was sitting in my bed with Michelle next to me as usual and as she talked about what she'd done that day I sat and thought about Maxxie. I couldn't ask Michelle about him either because I got the feeling that after Russia she pretended he didn't exist. I can understand why of course, I mean if I were her and I saw my boyfriend sucking off our gay friend I wouldn't wanna talk to him either, but then again I wouldn't really wanna talk to my so called boyfriend again either. I still don't quite understand why she took me back, I guess it's because I told her I loved her and that she was the one but still I fucked her around so much was she really that forgiving?

"Are you listening to me?" Michelle giggled as she nudged my in the side.

"Huh?" I said coming back to the earth.

She laughed "it doesn't matter Tony, you were miles away."

I nodded in agreement and decided to ask her about Maxxie just to check if my suspicions were right. "So do you see much of Max or Anwar?" I said casually.

Michelle's smile faltered "no why do you ask?"

"Just curious you know, I mean neither of them has come to see me and you never mention them…" I trailed off when I noticed that her face had gone stony.

"Do you want Maxxie to visit you?" she said bitterly.

"Ummm"

"You do don't you? Well you'll have a hard time getting him here he hates you after what happened bet- in Russia" I noticed she faulted and I knew she had stopped herself from saying something like 'between the two of you'.

"Oh" was all I could manage. He hated me, but I didn't get it he had told me in the airport when we were leaving Russia that it was alright and that he didn't want to loss me as a mate. Then he had let me get all touchy feely with him on the green when he was on his skateboard and we had shared a joint, he even looked like he had wanted me there and then. It didn't make any sense why did he hate me all of a sudden.

"Look Tony I gotta go my mum will probably be wondering were I am. See you later yeah." That last part wasn't so much of a question but a fact because even though she was pissed at me now she'd be back tomorrow.

"Yeah, yeah I'll see you tomorrow" I said sounding miles away for the second time of this Michelle session. Then she was gone making sure she slammed my bedroom door as she left.

Jal

Fucking hell why am I here again? Why am I getting to involved in other peoples problems yet again?! I looked up at Tony's bedroom window and let out a heavy sigh. This seemed to give me the courage to walk up his path and knock on his door; I only waited a minute or so before Effy answered. "Hey Effy can I go up and see Tony?"

She nodded "yeah sure." She had started talking after Tony's accident and even though that had been ages ago it was still weird to hear her speak.

I smiled at her and walked in and up the stairs to Tony's bedroom. I knocked on the door and hear Tony say "come in Michelle." I opened the door and he looked slightly confused "oh hey Jal sorry I thought you-"

"I know who you thought I was Tony, I'm gonna keep you company today" he stared at me blankly "I told Michelle to take a day off give you someone different."

He nodded then smiled "cool so how are you then?"

"I'm alright I'm guessing you're still pretty shit though?"

"Yeah" he laughed lightly "I feel useless and that's cause I fucking am."

I smiled then remembered why I was here and decided to get straight down to business "listen Tony I didn't only come to give Michelle a break I also came to answer your question" he looked at me blankly again "about why Maxxie hasn't been around."

A sad look entered his eyes "oh, it's alright Jal, Michelle told me" he sounded really upset and for once I felt sympathy for him.

"No Tony you don't understand Shell-"

"I get it he hates me I don't know why since he told me he didn't wanna loss me as a mate but whatev-"

"Tony! Maxxie doesn't hate you!" I said hurriedly and loudly.

Tony looked me in the eyes "but Michelle said-"

I shook my head "Michelle said that because she still doesn't talk to Maxxie and her view about him being a slut hasn't changed either" I stopped to let that be absorbed before I continued "she doesn't want Maxxie talking to you so she told him that you think he's a filthy perv and lots of other really nasty shit like that, but he doesn't hate you he's just crushed because he thinks he's lost you over what happened in Russia."

Tony's face was blank as he listened but when I finished his face became contorted with rage. "What a scheming evil two faced cow!" he yelled then he turned on me "have you told Maxxie she's lying? Does he know she's just a sad bitch?" I hung my head. I hadn't took Maxxie because I was suppose to be Shell's mate and I was only telling Tony now because she had told me that Tony had asked about him and it showed that he did still wanted Max as a mate. "Fucking hell Jal! Why haven't you told him? I don't want to loss Max" he wasn't yelling at me it was just his way of realising anger. Then he whispered "I want him to be here, I can't stop thinking about him."

I looked at Tony slightly shocked "you don't fancy him do you??"

"No….I don't know" he sounded genuinely confused. He banged his head on his headboard in frustration and I noticed a tear run down his face. Now I'm not one for feeling sorry for Tony Stonem but even now I found myself sitting on his bed and grabbing his hand to comfort him. He squeezed it as he tried to hide how upset he was and we sat in silence.

About half an hour past before Tony finally said "I'm gonna dump her and I'm gonna talk to Maxxie as soon as I'm back at college." His voice shook as he spoke but he sounded completely sure he was doing the right thing. I nodded silently and he turned to me with a small slightly shy smile "thanks Jal I know your Michelle's best friend and you've never really liked me but thanks for telling me."

I smiled back "its alright Tony" I let go of Tony's hand and continued "well I'll leave you to get some sleep see you soon ok."

I went to get up from his bed but he stopped me "you can stay if you want if you're not busy I mean its not like I'm doing anything" he laughed and I turned grinning.

"Ok then why not I'm sure my dad wont miss me for another hour." So we spoke about college, how people had been, gossip and of course Maxxie. I left three hours later and was reluctant to go.
