[Max's POV]

I carefully folded the brand new tuxedo that Trinity and Serenity helped me pick out. It fitted really well and it wasn't like my other suits that just hung off my small body. I then carefully placed the bow tie that Maddie helped me tie in the suitcase as well as my brand new shoes. In my other suitcase I packed my spare clothes and stuff.

There was a knock on my door but before I could say come in Maddie rushed in closing the door quickly behind her.

She breathed out a sign of relief and took note of me “You look nice” I looked puzzled at my outfit, I was wearing a dark grey zip up hoodie, a white t-shirt, dark blue jeans and dark grey vans to match. Nothing special.

I raised my eyebrow “Thanks I guess?” I took a step closer “What's going on?” she seemed nervous.

She sighed “Mom and Dad are arguing- it's simmering right now but I know things are going to blow”

My eyes widen in shock “What are they arguing about?”

She chuckled “You”

“Me!?” I pointed to myself “I haven't done anything!”

She shrugged “all I know is, I walk into the living room and mom is like: 'No Sam! I can't let Max do this'”

My heart raced “Do what!?”

“I don't know! As soon as I heard that I ran upstairs”

“Aw man” I groaned “Wait- who's on my side?”

“I'm not sure but it looks like dad is”

“I'm finished for sure” I groaned, Maddie let out a soft giggle

“It doesn't matter anyway, you're gonna be gone for the weekend”

I smiled “You're right” I glanced at my watch “Darren's going to be here in about 5 minutes anyway” I grabbed carefully onto my two small suitcases and headed cautiously down the stairs.

I could now hear what Maddie was talking about

“Darling he's already bought all his stuff!” my dad protested

“I don't care Sam, I just don't !” My mom retorted

“What's going on?” I asked, afraid of what the answer might be. I placed the suitcases down by either side of me.

My mom turned around to look at me, not a single loving bone in her body towards me anymore “Max, you better take those suitcases up right now”

“Why?” I asked “Darren's going to be here any minute”

She scoffed “That really doesn't bother me to much Maxwell, You're not going to this dance anymore”

I looked at my dad “Why?”

She answered for him “Because I don't trust you Max! You're going to seduce those boys and when they start getting physical you're the one that's going to get hurt and start crying murder!”

My mouth opened in shock, even my dad's.

Well.

I wasn't expecting that.

“Vicky! Don't you think you're going a little bit too far!?” My dad asked trying to keep his voice down

“Not at all!” she replied before turning her venomous eyes to me “What happened in Richmond!?The school me and your dad broke our backs paying for!? Those boys forced you to-” she grimaced “Touch them because you seduced them!-Now take yourself and those bags up to your room”

I didn't say anything I picked up my suitcases my eyes damp. There was a horning sound from outside. I looked towards my front door and back to my parents again “That's Darren” I muttered

“There is no way I'm letting you stay at a hotel overnight Maxwell no way.”

“I told you weeks ago. Why are you telling me I can't go minutes before I have to leave?”

she tried to hide the smile that was trying to reach her lips “It must of slipped my mind”

I looked at my dad who was standing behind my mom, he winked at me giving me and tilted his head towards the front door. I nodded.

“Mom, I'm going, you're not going to stop me” I picked up my bags and headed for the front door

“Maxwell Joshua Evans! You come back here!” she raced towards me, spinning me around so I was facing her and slapped me so hard my face went the full 90 degrees. My dad took a strong grip of her arm and held onto her

“What is wrong with you woman!?” he screamed in her face “What is really your problem with this kid!?”

shock took over her expressions for the first time in her life she actually looked scared of my dad.

“Max go to your dance. Have fun” my dad gave me a sad smile

“Sam!” my mom screeched wriggling under my dad's hold

I turned for the door “Maxwell! Don't be so difficult!” my mom screamed

My hand was on the handle now. Rage took over my whole body.

“I'm difficult!?” I turned around trying to keep control of my voice. “Slapping me was one thing but calling me difficult!?” but there was no use. My voice was getting louder with every word “You've made my life a living hell since I came back from the hospital! You look at Maddie like she's an angel but you look at me like I'm worthless crap. You mom YOU are the difficult one!”

she gasped “How dare you tell me that Maxwell!? How dare you tell me that!”

I laughed dryly “I didn't tell you anything! But you want me to tell you something mom!?”

she said nothing her eyes locked on me like she was prepared to kill me.

“I'm gay.”

I walked out of the house not even staying long enough to acknowledge her expression. Slamming the door I walked towards Darren's car. He was standing outside leaning against it.

“Hey Max”

“Hey” I muttered, I looked back towards my house. Should I go back and apologise? I decided against the thought. Grabbing onto one of bags eagerly, he helped me put them in the trunk.

I walked towards the passenger seat as Darren walked to his seat. I heard my front open and slam again. I turned around it was dad he was running towards me like a crazy man. I couldn't help but chuckle

“Are you crazy!?” my dad asked me

“Uhm...”

“I know I said you should tell her but not when you're not going to be home for two days!” He took a step closer to me our noses touching. He mumbled quietly “Do you know what you have left me with?”

a loud crashing sound came from the house with a high pitch scream to follow

“A monster” he whispered, backing away dramatically “If you don't have fun Max I will have your head.” with that he turned around and ran back to the house, laughing I jumped into the passenger seat

“What is going on?” Darren asked

“Long story” I sighed softly

“Well” he smiled “We have a long time. Beverly Hills here we come”

......................................................................................

[Erick's POV]

“Room 223” I checked it off my list. Everything seemed to be in order.

Why I'm doing this? This had to be so boring. But it was either this or being told off by Casey and Amanda. I dragged my feet along to the next room.

“Room 224” I mumbled again to myself- I looked at who the room belonged to.

Darren and...

Max.

Even reading his name on a sheet of paper was difficult.

I sighed opening the door. Everything again, was in order. The two single beds were a little bit too close for comfort but I didn't care.

Looking back at the list I thought about Darren. I missed him. Last year I shared a room with him. But now I'm on my own. I didn't want to be with anyone. My room is on top of everyone else's, the best room in the hotel, it cost hell but if it kept me away from everyone I didn't care. It's hard not having anyone to talk to anymore. But he betrayed my trust and I can't forgive him. He didn't even bother coming up to me and in a way I'm grateful he probably knew I would have beat him senseless.

“Erick!” I looked up to find Casey and Amanda skipping towards me

“Are you done inspecting the rooms?” Casey asked

“Yeah” I muttered “Just two more on this floor and I'm done”

“Great!” she chirped. It was only me, Amanda, Casey, the rest of the dance committee and the staff chaperoning the event that were at the hotel at the moment. In a couple of hours students will be rolling in.

“I can't wait!” Amanda beamed “I just took a look at Max's cake, it's fantastic the chef really outdone himself”

I smiled weakly

“He's going to be so happy” Casey smiled “I'm going to ask him for the last dance” she sighed dreamily

Amanda scoffed “Yeah, I don't think so.”

Casey glared at her “And why not?”

“Because once Max sees me in my dress, he's going to be asking me for the last dance and who knows something may happen after that” she winked causing my stomach to literally churn

“Well you're just going to have to see my dress first!”

“You think you actually have a chance wearing a better dress than me!?” Amanda shrieked

I walked away at this point not wanting to hear anymore about dresses and seducing Max.

Tomorrow night was going to be hell.

….......................................................................

[Max's POV]

We arrived kinda late, it was about 6 but the lobby was crowded with students all of them walking to two different parts of the hotel.

Had they been assigned their rooms already?

“Hey Max! Hey Erick!” this red head girl grinned.

“Hi” Darren replied not sure either of who this girl was but she was part of the dance committee she had a blue sash and a cap that said so.

“Are you guys sharing a room together?” she asked

“Yep” Darren nodded smiling at me

“Okay cool” she nodded “So Darren-” she looked at her clipboard and scanned for his name “you need to go to the left wing and you'll be given your keys by Alice” she stated looking up at him “and Max” she looked down at her clipboard again “you need to go to the left wing and see Erick. They will each give you your keys, read out the rules for tomorrow and ask for your signature making sure you agree to these rules”

“Woah” I protested not mentally ready to speak to him yet “Why can't I just go with Darren since we're sharing a room together and why does it have to be Erick?”

she smiled “We just split the names up and assigned it to different committee members, I'm 90% sure Erick doesn't even know you're on his list yet, he has a lot of people to go through and besides we can't let you go together because we don't want roomates conspiring together to ruin or sabotage anything”

I sighed “Okay” me and Darren both shared a quick smile before parting off in opposite directions

I walked into the right wing crowded with students, I managed to see the front where Erick was sitting at a table filling out sheets and talking to students. There was another dance committee member with students lined up in front of her but she was at another table.

I waited patiently in line, my heart beating faster as the line moved a little forward. It wasn't until 20 minutes of waiting that it was finally my turn. He looked up, he seemed surprised, he quickly looked down again and took out a new form.

I took the empty seat opposite him.

I looked around the room, it was so noisy and everyone seemed to be caught up in their own conversations I decided to use this moment as my chance.

“Erick?” I mumbled. It was noisy but I knew he heard me. He didn't look up but instead took a deep breath. I watched his perfectly sculpted face. He wasn't wearing a sash but he had the blue cap on backwards.

“Name and age?”

Was he crazy?

“Protocol” he muttered

“Max Evans, 17” I whispered.

He crossed my name off his list and wrote it down on a form.

“Student ID Card?”

I dug my hands into my pocket to get out my wallet. I handed it to him. He gazed at it for less than a second before handing it back to me.

“There are certain rules you need to follow or you will be banned from the dance” he said in a bored tone still staring down at his paper

“Okay?”

“No drinking or smoking”

“No drugs”

“No going into anyone's rooms after 12am”

“No going into the girls rooms after 4pm”

“You must sleep in your designated room”

“No vandalising or damaging of any property”

“No leaving the Hotel grounds”

“No bringing outside parties to the hotel”

“No abusive language or behaviour to any member of staff whether a hotel staff or teacher”

“No abusive language or behaviour to any of your fellow peers”

“Sexual intercourse, acts or behaviour with anyone is prohibited” he quickly looked up at me before looking down again.

“Okay” I nodded

“Do you have any alcohol?”

“No”

“Drugs or cigarettes?”

“No” I sighed, even though this was the longest conversation I have had with Erick in 4 months he was still ignoring me.

“Do you Max Evans swear to follow the rules that have been listed to you?”

“I do”

“Sign here” he handed the form to me where I quickly scribbled my signature. He handed me over my key card and looked away completely in the opposite direction. “You're free to leave now”

I grabbed the card and put it in my pocket.

“There's one more thing” I mumbled feeling the light blush on my face

he didn't answer or turn to face me but I knew he was listening

“Erick I-”

[Erick's POV]

Was fate trying to play a cruel game with me. I just had to get Max. Nothing about him had change. I had to keep my head down and my answers short. Even one look at him so up close can ruin everything.

After listing out all of the rules- the same rules that get broken every year, me especially breaking most of them, I mean no going into the girls rooms after 4pm? No sexual behaviour? No alcohol? This whole thing was a joke. I knew more than half of the students were going to get plastered but this was protocol. I had to confirm Max wouldn't break them

“Do you Max Evans swear to follow the rules that have been listed to you?”

“I do” he mumbled

“Sign here” I handed the form to him where he quickly scribbled his signature. I handed over his key card and looked away completely in the opposite direction. “You're free to leave now” I state quickly

“There's one more thing” he mumbled, I took a very small glance at him he was slightly blushing. Did he have to be so cute with everything?

I didn't answer or look at him so it looked like I wasn't interested but I was secretly dying to know what he had so desperately wanted to tell me.

“Erick I-”

this was it...

“Erick!” It was Sarah or Sasha I can't remember what she said her name was. She ran over to me wrapping her slender arms around me, not even taking note of Max.

The alcohol was so strong on her breath. She lowered her lips to my ear and began whispering drunkenly I couldn't even understand half of what she was saying nevertheless it was still pretty funny.

“...I'm going to come up to your room and I want you to fuck me senseless” was what she finished with. I couldn't contain the smirk on my face. I closed my eyes so I could control my laughter. Bringing my lips next to her ears I whispered back.

“If you're a good girl then maybe” she giggled wildly and slapped my arm playfully before skipping off.

I turned back to continue my conversation with Max but he was gone.

I looked wildly all over the room but there was no sign of him.

“fuck it” I muttered to myself

it was probably nothing important anyway.

............................................................

[Max's POV]

I stormed back to my room awkwardly dragging my two cases along.

That cum-stained bitch ruined everything!

Just when I was about to tell Erick.

I couldn't stand watching them. The way he enjoyed her being around him, the way he relished the words whispered in his ear.

I couldn't take it.

My phone vibrated wildly in my pocket I ignored it till I got to my room. Putting my key card through the slot the door opened. The room was very elegant, with a cream and white theme.

The walls were cream and the curtains and the plush sofa was white. The two beds look so comfortable with their cream and white covers and pillows.

My phone vibrated again I quickly picked it up not bothering to check the caller ID

“What?” I snapped

“Yikes! Calm down!”

“Serenity?”

“And Trinity!” she shouted from the background

“Hey guys, I'm sorry”

“Are you okay?”

I sighed “Not really”

I told them everything from what happened at home to present time.

“I think I'm just going to give up”

“No!” Serenity screamed “He needs to know Max”

“He's not interested”

“How can someone not be interested in something they don't know about!?” Trinity shouted down the line “Now pick up your balls and do something about it, You've had four months to tell him so tell him!”

the door clicked it was Darren

“Guys I have to go. Thanks for everything.”

“No problem” Trinity replied

“Love you” they said in union

“I love you too.”

I quickly hung up the phone and smiled as Darren walked in the room

“You cool?” he asked as he flopped himself onto his bed

“Yeah” I replied softly climbing under the covers.

“You're sleeping now? You're not coming down for dinner?” he asked concerned

“No I'm really tired”

“Alright see you later” I heard him get up and leave closing the door softly behind him

I closed my eyes and succumbed to the sleep for tomorrow's events.
