This Action Will Have Consequences
Max's father asked Warren on what he is planning to do after college. Warren knows he has to answer them quick and have an answer that wouldn't result in ending his relationship with Max. Then Warren remembers that Max advised him just be himself.
"Well Ryan, right know I really have anything specific planned… yet, but with my 4.0 GPA, I believe I have a good chance on a good career after college," answered Warren. In his mind however… "Boy… I hope I didn't fuck that up" as he his hiding his sweaty hands from being so nervous.
Both Vanessa and Ryan smiled with approval. "Then I wish for the best of future for you… and for Max," commented Vanessa.
"Also, what can you tell us about your parents and family?" asked Ryan.
"My father works as a lead biological scientist at Arcadia Bay Labs and my mother is an Oregon state representative and a criminal defense attorney," Warren answers. "I also have a younger sister, Lucy."
After dinner, Max and Warren says their good-byes to Max's parents since they will be leaving early in the morning and Max won't be able to see them off tomorrow since she still has school when they leave.
Joyce witnesses the whole thing and she couldn't be happier to see Max grew up to be a woman and having a boyfriend. "I do remember you two back when you were so young. I remember you (Warren) and your family coming to the diner often before you were even a preschooler. I would have never thought that one day you would be the one that would take Max away. You kids grow up so fast." Warren blushes and chuckles in embarrassment at Joyce's comments.
"If only Chloe…" says Joyce as a small tear in her eyes before wiping it off her face. "However, you two got my full blessing and support. I'm happy for you two," as she smiles for them.
Warren takes Max back to Blackwell. Again, Max is staying and sleeping with Warren at his dorm room, even though it is against the school rules for a girl and boy spending a night together at a dorm room. However, neither of them notices Brooke's drone is hovering outside of Warren's window and catching them spending the night together again.
Brooke keeps watching and spying on them, getting more enrage and jealous of Max and Warren. "You man snubbing grubbing bitch. You stole Warren away from me. He should be mine and only be mine. You will soon learn what happens when you steal another girl's man away from her".
Next day is Friday. For Max and Warren, it should be another normal day at Blackwell Academy and being boyfriend and girlfriend. At the end of photography class, Max looks at her and then realize… "I'd almost forgot… we missed our weekly tea meeting last week. I wonder if we could do it later tonight".
Then Max goes over to Kate. "Hey Kate… I'm sorry that we missed our tea meeting last week and this week. I was thinking we could do it tonight. We could get some fast food and then eat it at my dorm," suggest Max.
"What about you and Warren?" asked Kate.
"I think he will be ok for today," responds Max. "All I got to do is tell him".
"I think it is great for you two getting together… especially after Chloe died. You two were a pair made in heaven," commented Kate.
Then Max tells Warren that she decided to spend the rest of the day with Kate tonight and Warren happily responds to not worry about it and go ahead with Kate. He even lends them his car to go wherever they want to go. They do and instead of going to a fast food restaurant and eat at the dorms, they went to a small Chinese restaurant at a nearby town.
Warren takes the school bus to the Two Whale Diner to have dinner alone.
Meanwhile, Brooke is alone in her dorm room sitting at her computer, downloading all the evidence she collected on Max sleeping with Warren naked and her sneaking into his room since she snuck in a hidden camera in Warren's room and the boys dorm hallway sometime earlier.
"Now, how do I send this while trying to get Max expelled from school without getting Warren expelled for his part or having any of this traced back to me or otherwise Warren would hate me for it," said Brooke to herself. When hacking into the school's database, she finds that Max witnessed Nathan shooting Chloe and covered up by the school and David for her protection. Then an idea came to her head, she finds Sean Prescott's number and then she calls him on the phone… "Hello Mr. Sean Prescott… I would like to make a deal with you".
Warren is having dinner at the Two Whales Diner. Their Joyce is working and she sees Warren sitting at one of the booths. Wanting to talk to him one on one, Joyce sits at Warren's table.
"Hello Warren. How are you doing?" asked Joyce.
"I am doing very well Joyce," answered Warren.
"Are you treating Max right? Are you taking good care of her as you suppose to?" asks Joyce.
"I am as promised," Warren answers back again.
"I'm happy to see Max found and love someone good enough for her. I remember talking to my last husband, William about what kind of man would take both Chloe and Max away. Now here you are. If Chloe…" then Joyce started to cry a bit.
Warren feels guilty making Joyce tear up again… "I'm sorry Joyce. I didn't mean…"
Joyce just cuts him off, "No… it was nothing you did. Max and David are now I have in this world."
"I do promise I will be good to Max and make her happy. I'll die for her if it comes to it".
"And I know you will. Max trusts you, I trust you, and you've earned the trust of Max's parents. I am sure you two will be happy together. Then Joyce gets up and then takes Warren's order, Warren order the combination of the half turkey sandwich and a cup of chicken noodle soup.
At another town, Max and Kate are eating at a Chinese restaurant where they are having jasmine tea with their food.
"I'm happy for you and Warren are finally getting together," happily says Kate.
"I know," chuckles Max. "He's been so sweet and caring to me… especially after Chloe died. Our relationship grew even more when we went to Newberg and then afterwards our relationship grew even more. I love him."
Hearing Max saying she loves him make Kate smile even more. "I know you do. You two were a match made in heaven. I can't think of anyone else better than Warren to be your husband."
"Me too," Max responds.
Then vibration sounds came from both Max and Kate's phone at the same time. They both check their phones to check why theirs vibrated at the same time and they got something very disturbing… a text message of Max and Warren's photo of them being naked together in bed at the motel in Newberg.
Warren is riding the school bus back to Blackwell Academy when his phone got the same photo text too. Warren looks around the bus to see other students on the bus like Zachary, Justin, Trevor, Stella, and Alyssa are looking at him with shock on their faces… getting the idea they all got the same text too.
Warren could hear the whispering and quiet chatter among the students. One he could hear Justin whispering to Trevor… "I didn't know they had it in them" as he is sounding in his tone he is praising them.
Both Max and Warren know this is really bad and they know could face big trouble on Monday from the school and their parents no the secret is out. Another thing on their minds is "who sent this?".
Brooke is proud of herself sending the text photo to all the students of Blackwell Academy. "Soon Max, you will be out of Blackwell and out of my way. Then Warren will be mine to take".
