Tess stared blankly at Paul, wondering if he acctually just said that, or if she was hearing things. She was wasn't sure which she would prefer."Um...what?" she managed to choke out. 

Paul looked at her and sighed. "You heard me, Tess," he said quietly,now regreting even bringing it up. Are we better off friends?, he though. She obviously doesn't like me that way.

"Um, wow," Tess said, thinking it over in her head. Did she still like him? Its been a long time, she though. She couldn't possibly still have feelings for him. But, she wasn't sure.

"You know," Paul started, his voice cracking under the pressure. "If you want, you could just...like...think it over, or something." He took a big gulp of air. "I'd be cool with that."

He looked over at her, to see if she was considering it. There was an uneasy look on Tess' face that made Paul's heart break all over again. She's going to say no.

Tess sighed, trying to hold back the urge to cry. She could feel the tears burning behind her eyelids. She didn't even know why she wanted to cry so bad. "Well, I guess I'll think about it then," she said looking back at her shoes, not really wanting to meet his gaze. "Well, I'll call you?" she finished, looking back at him.

A small smile crept across his face as he looked over at her. "Yeah, okay. See you later."

Tess practically jumped out of the car and sprinted up to her door step, not even looking back one time. She shoved the door open and ran up the stairs and, ignoring her mom's afternoon vacum cycle, didn't even take her shoes off.

When she got up to he room, she took a deep breath and dropped her black messenger bag on the floor. She kicked off her Vans and plopped down on her bed.

How could this happen? Two guys, one a great friend and one, well, unbelievablly sexy! She wanted Max for his charm, sweetness, musical talent and the overall feeling of him being hers. And Paul, she wasn't even sure if she wanted him. They were best friends, and have been for years. It would ruin their friendship if she said no, or if she said yes. It would all be lost.

A loud Ping! noise brought her out of he mind. She walked over to he computer and looked at who was IMing her. Maxxx163.

*****[i'm taking a suggestion from a commentor to take the story from Tess' point of view to Max's. tell me what you think]***** 

Max was laying on his deep blue comforter, typing away at on his lap top. He was talking to his buddy, Travis. Travis was ranting on about this new drum set he got. Max normally would be completely engulfed in this conversation, but he had something much more interesting on his mind. Tess.

He looked over at his buddylist to see if anyone else but Travis was on. He saw TessxXxinfinaty. His heart raced. Should I talk to her? Should I wait until she IMs me? What if she doesn't want to talk to me?

Countless questions entered his mind. He didn't even know why he cared so much, or why Paul giving her a ride home instead of him pissed him off so bad. All this thinking was driving him nuts, so he sucked it up and IMed her.

Maxxx163: hey
Maxxx163: whats up?
TessxXxinfinaty: nothing really, just got home
Maxxx163: oh
Maxxx163: i was wondering something..
TessxXxinfinaty: whats that?

TessxXxinfinaty: 7ish is good
Maxxx163: ok awesome, i'll see you then
TessxXxinfinaty: kay, cool bye =]
Maxxx163: bye

What did I just do, Max thought to himself. Did he just ask her out, and did she just say yes? Was it even a date? Questions raced through Max's mind again, but it was all silenced by the thought of going on a date-like scenerio with Tess.
