Breakfast between the two girls went well just like it always did, and they spent the rest of the weekend together too, like always. But there was this feeling between the two of them, an elephant in the room if you will. Of course, the friendship was still rock solid as the next few days passed, but something was going on with the both of them, and neither of them could quite put their fingers on it. Kate began to slightly distance herself from Max. It wasn't enough for Max to notice, but Kate could recall the lack of communication and what not.

After the next week of school, it was the weekend again, and Max only assumed that they were going to hang out just like they had always done each previous weekend. So she texted Kate, and asked her if she had any plans. It was the same routine each time. When Kate texted her back, Max was shocked. The text read: I'm not feeling well Max, why don't you go hang out with Warren or someone else? Sorry, I'll make it up to you, promise. xxxoxoxoxo, Kate. Her best friend had never turned down an invitation until now. Kate must have been really sick for her not to want to go hang out with Max.

Truth is, Kate wasn't feeling well, but it wasn't that kind of sick like a cold or anything. She was merely stuck in her thoughts, entrapped in a never ending cycle. And the more time she had spent with Max, the worse it had gotten. She began having dreams about Max, and they weren't PG rated either. She began thinking about Max in all those different ways. And Kate yearned for Max; she wanted the girl like she needed air to breathe. This confused Kate very much. She wasn't like this, she couldn't be like this, it was a sin. Everything that her parents had warned her about was now everything that was haunting her. It was a strange yet daunting feeling.

But she couldn't be gay, could she? Kate just kept asking herself that question over and over again. Was it wrong? Was there something wrong with her? Why was she so confused, and why couldn't this just get any easier? Kate never had boyfriends, heck, she had never even looked at a boy the way she looked at Max. Oh god, why was she even contemplating this right now? It was wrong on every level. She had never looked at girls though either, well, she hadn't really ever looked at anyone. Her parents had always told her to save herself for God, so that was what she was doing. But now, away from her parents, around Max... It all felt different. She felt like Kate, the true Kate.

She had heard of gay christians before, but she had never thought anything of it. Maybe that could be her? But the bible... The bible says that it's wrong... Kate sighed in frustration, what was she going to do? "Is it really a sin to be with someone you love?" She pondered out loud. Laying in her bed, and looking up at the ceiling, she knew she was stuck. And that brought Kate to another question: did she love Max? She may like her a lot, and want to be with her, but not love her. Well, at least not yet. And she didn't even know if Max felt the same. Why did this have to be so hard?

Would she go against her beliefs anyway if Max felt the same? In the end, she knew that she would, because Max made her extremely happy. Another sigh escaped Kate's lips, and she knew that she had come to the inevitable conclusion: She was gay, and she was in love with her best friend. Of course, she was still going to be faithful to her religion, but deep down, she knew that God loved her either way, regardless of who she loved. She decided that she would be an open minded christian, and as long as she got to be with Max, everything would be okay. The two would conquer the world together.

Meanwhile, Max and Warren were hanging out at the main school campus. "So is Kate like okay?" Warren asked.

"She said she was sick, I'm still going to visit her later though." Max answered.

It was no secret that Warren had feelings for Max. He was always trying to get her to hang out with him and what not, even if they hadn't been friends for such a long time. Max would always decline though, because she was hanging out with Kate. She didn't like Warren, at least not in that way. He was a good friend and everything, but Max just was not interested. Warren didn't make her feel like Kate made her feel. "Send her my love." Warren chuckles, "She probably just has a cold or something. It might be allergies." He added, shrugging nonchalantly.

Max nodded, "Yeah, you're probably right."

"You want to go get some dinner or something?" He inquired, looking over at Max.

"Warren..." Max trailed off.

He stops her though, before she can even say anything else. "No, it's okay Max, I get it."

"You get what?" She asked.

"You have a thing for Kate, don't worry it's cool. I won't tell her." Warren answered with a small grin, and Max was taken aback. How in the world did he know that she had feelings for Kate? Did everybody know but herself? "And by the looks of it, Kate has a thing for you too." He added. "You guys are like two peas in a pod." He joked, causing Max to smile. She wasn't going to deny his statement, but she also wasn't going to accept it either. She didn't know for sure if she had feelings for Kate or not. And she also didn't want to make any hasty moves just in case Kate didn't like her back. According to Warren though, she did, and that made Max happy as hell.

"You're a good friend, Warren." Max smiled.

He smiled right back at her, "So I've been told."
