Ryleigh's POV

at the Mills' house after school•

Max and Harvey were doing a live.ly and I was sitting off to the side so I wouldn't be in it.

"I have someone I want you guys to meet." Max said to the iPad. He motioned for me to come over. I shook my head repeatedly.

"Come onnnn." He whined. "I guess we're gonna have to do this the hard way."

He came over and picked me up then carried me to the couch. He put me down on his lap.

"This," he pointed to me. "Is Ryleigh. She's my girlfriend."

I froze. We decided not to tell them. My first instinct was to run.

"I've gotta go..." I said and ran upstairs to Max's room. I pulled up the live.ly on my phone to read the comments. Most of them were actually nice and only a few weren't.

Right after it ended, Max came into the room.

"Hey Ry." He sat next to me but I scooted away. We decided we weren't going to tell the fans but he did anyways.

"I'm sorry." He said.

"Max, we talked about this, we weren't gonna tell them."

"I don't like keeping secrets from my fans." He explained. "I felt like they deserved to know. I'm sorry."

I guess I was overreacting a bit.

"It's fine." I kissed his cheek and he smiled.

Later that night, his family and I were all sitting in the living room. It was around 8:00.

I tapped Max's shoulder and he looked at me.

"I think I'm gonna go." I said. I guess I said it louder than I thought because Sara responded.

"You're not staying the night?" She asked.

I shook my head.

"Whyyyy?" Max whined.

"Because I wanna go home."

He pulled me into his lap and had a death grip around my waist.

"Max, let me go."

"Nooooo. You're warm and I wanna cuddle." He said and pulled me closer. This boy I swear...

"Max let her go." Paul said.

Max groaned but let go of me.

"I'll walk you home." He smiled.

"I live right next door." I laughed.

"That means nothing. I'm walking you home whether you like it or not."

We walked out and stopped on my front porch.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Nothing. I just wanted to go home."

"Can I stay with you?" He asked.

I shook my head.

"But Ryleighhhh." This boy whines a lot.

"What?"

"I want to be with you." He gave me a puppy face.

"No Max."

"Please?" He begged.

I shook my head.

"Go home." I told him.

He sighed, pecked my lips and walked away.
