Max's point of view

"Mom, I have a problem." I tell Linda.

"Love wise?" She asks and I nod. "Then wait until Stella is home, I'm not good with love things."

"But I need help now." I try to convince her.

Finally, after a puppy eyed glare and a cute as hell pout, she gives in.

"Tell me, buddy."

"You know this girl I've been talking to right? Alex?" I say and she nods. "Well I told her that I love her."

"So?"

"She blocked me."

"Well shit." My mother curses. "But do you love her really? Like, love love?"

"I think so, I mean I really like her."

"Love is a big word, Max, you can't just spit it out like that. I'm sure you scared the hell out of her."

"So in other words, I fucked up."

"Badly."
