" uhm . . that's — that's , uh , how did it get there ? i-i don't know — "
" jade, don't lie. " max cut her off, looking at her with .. not anger?

" i've been taking them since october last year. it helps with my anxiety, it's literally not a big deal. i also take zoloft for depression, don't get mad. it helps me get better. please, don't get mad. " jade grabbed the xanax out els hand, putting it in her pockets and taking els hands in hers.

" look, max, i like you. i like you a lot, but seriously stop it ! " joan whisper - yelled, the two standing in the living room.

" what are you on about, joan? "
" stop being so mad at jade. she did nothing wrong. yes, she didn't say anything, but she didn't need too. there's shit you don't know about me, and you don't need too unless i'm fucking ready! aswell as jade, if she wasn't ready to tell eleven or the whole group then she didn't have too! "

" max, avalynn kissed her. jade did nothing wrong, max. stop it. seriously, you're being really annoying. so just stop being a whiny teenage baby cuz you don't know shit about mine or jades life ! you had no right to be mad at her. she was good to you. she was good to everyone. everyone ! " joan yelled, she finally looked back up at max whos face was written in guilt.

" joan, i - i'm so sorry. i didn't know — but i wanna know. like, i hate being kept away from secrets. like last year, you know ? i'm sorry i have a pathological need to know everything. it's annoying. " max grabbed joan's hand.
