Valerie arrived home, her heart thumping in pain. The pained expression on Max's face hung her like a rope and she couldn't cut loose.
She said those things for his sake but he would never know that unless she explained.
She picked up her phone and stared at his number. She wanted to call but thought against it.
"I should explain things to him when I get to school on Monday." She muttered to herself and just then, Frankie walked in.
"Is something bothering you, Miss?" She asked and Valerie looked up at her.
"Frankie, I said some awful things to Max today." She said.
"How come? I thought you liked his company." Frankie said, taking a seat next to her.
"Yes, I do. I like spending time with him and with every action of his, I find myself diving into a different world." She explained. "I was having fun for the first time, Frankie."
"Okay? So, what seems to be the problem? Why did you say bad things to him?"
