Max and Lisa arrived back at the ski resort and they were just in time to go behind the hotel, get off the snowboard and join the other students for the snow sports activities today. They were also glad that the terrible avalanche last night had passed and did no damage to the hotel or to anyone in it or to the ski lift and the snow sport lessons could continue. Max saw an odd snow mobile on its own outside the hotel. He recognized it – it was the one that he borrowed from the resort to go out and rescue Lisa from the snow. He was glad that it was returned to the ski resort and it was no more damaged than it was before the avalanche.

Once again, Max and Lisa had to go into different groups. Max had more snowboarding lessons to do and Lisa had more skiing lessons to do.

"If you get lost again, Lisa," Max said, "don't worry. I'll come and find you again."

That made Lisa smile. "Thanks, Max. And once again, thank you so much for rescuing me last night."

"No problem," Max said.

"And good luck to you for today," Lisa said, before she went to join the group she was assigned to.

"Thanks, Lisa. And good luck to you for today too."

"Thanks, Max." She blew him an air kiss.

That touched Max so much. As he joined the group he was assigned to for more skiing lessons, he was very happy that not only did he rescue the girl of his dreams and she was now safe and sound, but he actually spent time with her and she liked spending time with him as much as he did with her and she was very grateful to him for saving her.

After he and his group finished their snowboarding lessons and were returning to the hotel for the night, Max looked at the other groups returning to the hotel as well and he was very pleased to see that this time Lisa had returned with her group instead of getting lost in the snow again.

After getting back into the warm hotel, Max, wearing his green swim shorts, decided to try the warm swimming pool and do some laps to warm himself up more. He was all alone; there was no one else in the swimming pool area. There wasn't even a lifeguard on duty.

Max was about to finish his fiftieth lap when he saw Lisa entering the swimming pool area. She was wearing a strapless black bikini top and a black sarong around her legs and brown sandals. She was looking very upset about something.

"Are you okay, Lisa?" Max called.

Lisa gave Max a half smile when she saw him in the swimming pool. "Oh, hi, Max," she greeted sadly.

Max got out of the swimming pool and went to Lisa. "What is it, Lisa? Is something wrong?"

The only answer he got was when Lisa started to break down into tears. He hugged her and she returned the hug.

"Come into the hot tub with me, Lisa," Max said. "It'll help you feel better."

"Okay, Max." Lisa took off her sandals and removed her sarong, revealing her black bikini thong. Then Max helped her into the big hot tub, put the bubbles on and then he got in with her. She started to relax more, despite still being upset.

"So, what's wrong, Lisa?" Max asked.

"It's Chad, Max!" Lisa sobbed. "He cheated on me!"

"What?" Max was shocked to hear that. Lisa was one the most beautiful girls to ever exist in the history of Spoonerville High School, if not the whole town of Spoonerville. Anyone would be so lucky to have her as a girlfriend. Why anyone would want to cheat on her was a massive mystery to Max.

Then Lisa explained everything to Max. After her skiing lessons for today, she went to see Chad in his room. She knocked on the door, but he didn't answer. After five minutes of knocking on his door and getting no answer at all, she decided to just walk away and go back to her room. Then she heard some laughter – Chad's laughter. It was coming from a room that was very close to her and the door was slightly opened, not locked. With curiosity getting the better of her, Lisa sneaked into the room and was very shocked at what she saw. She found Chad in a room that wasn't his or hers, but in a room where another female Spoonerville High student was staying in for the school ski trip. But that wasn't what shocked Lisa the most. What shocked her the most was that her boyfriend was on the bed with this girl. And what was even worse was that they were completely naked and having sex, with Chad even forcing his massive strong penis into the girl's vagina without a condom. Chad and the girl quickly noticed that Lisa had been watching them. She tried to walk away, but Chad stopped her and tried to explain everything. Lisa couldn't hear him, because every time he spoke, he only kept trying to justify cheating on her instead apologising for it. In fact, he went on to say that this girl he was having sex with wasn't the first time he cheated on Lisa; he had been cheating on her with a lot of girls ever since they first met on their first day at Spoonerville High School and he didn't seem to have a shred of remorse for cheating on her or care that she was left outside of the very cold snow all night and could have died in the avalanche last night. This upset Lisa so much that she immediately broke up with him. Then she came down to the swimming pool area because she needed to be alone, but she was feeling better when she saw Max.

After she finished her story, Lisa continued to sob her eyes out as Max continued to hold her in his arms.

"That's why Chad didn't come out in the snow to save me last night!" she wailed. "He was too busy fucking other girls! He never cared for me!"

"I'm so sorry for what Chad did to you, Lisa," Max said. "But, while you're taking all the time you need to recover from the pain Chad caused you, just let me know if there's anything I can do to help you."

Lisa stopped crying and looked at him. "Are you being serious, Max?"

"I am," he promised.

"Well, thank you so much, Max." Then Lisa hugged Max again. This time it wasn't for comfort, but for deep gratitude.

Max always dreamt but never really thought he would ever get this close to Lisa. He always thought if he did, she only try to push him away as if he was a pest from the wild. But she didn't. She was being very grateful for his courage and his kindness.

Then the bubbles went off.

"Another round of bubbles, Lisa?" Max asked.

"No thanks, Max," Lisa said. "We'll both need to hit the restaurant with our friends soon."

"Well, we only have an hour left before we need to take our seats," Max said. "Would you like a quick play in the swimming pool? The water is nice and warm."

Lisa thought about it and decided it might help her take her mind off Chad. "Sounds good to me, Max. Show me all the fun this pool can offer."

"Awesome!"

While Lisa dived into the swimming pool, Max went to get some pool toys including beach balls, inflatable rings and inflatable mats. Then he jumped into the pool with the stuff and he and Lisa had a great time playing for nearly a whole hour. As they played, Max noticed that Lisa was smiling more and that she was actually enjoying playing in the pool with him and that made himself happy.

Then the time came when Max and Lisa had to get out of the pool, hit the showers and then hit the restaurant.

"Hey, Max," Lisa said.

"Yeah, Lisa?"

"Thank you so much once again for rescuing me last night and for comforting me tonight and for becoming a very good friend to me."

"No problem," Max said. "And thank you for becoming my friend too."

Then they gave each other one last hug for the night before Max hit the male showers and Lisa hit the female showers. Then they both went to the restaurant with their friends for dinner. Max sat with his friends, PJ and Bobby and thanked them once again for what they did last night. They were glad that their efforts last night were all worth it. As he ate his dinner, Max looked ahead and was glad to see Lisa was at the table with Chloe and her friends, enjoying her dinner and being safe and sound.
