"Maria we need to talk," Michael said as Maria opened the hotel door.

"I know," Maria said and looked at him. He had changed so much, you could see the scars that life has brought him.

"I am sorry Maria," Michael said. He had to. Just when he finished reading the diary he wanted to tell her that. He never knew how much pain he put on her.

"I know spaceboy," Maria said, sad-like.

"Could we maybe go get some coffee and something?" Michael asked Maria kindly.

"Maybe you could come in and we can drink it here, I don't want to leave Alex," Maria answered and opened the door a little more so that he could enter.

"Sure," Michael said and stepped into the hotel room.

**************

Max was lying on her bed when she heard the knock on the door. She listened as her mother opened the door and talked to a voice that sounded like Michael's. She got off the bed and opened the door a little and watched as Michael walked into the room and Maria started making coffee.

'Great, they were finally going to talk. Maybe they could come to some conclusion, she didn't want to leave this place. She liked it here with Matt.'

A smile came across her face as the name popped up in her mind. She really wanted to see him right now to thank him for convincing her to talk to her father.

Just as she thought that there was a knock on her window, when she looked over she saw Matt standing there smiling at her. She smiled back as she walked over to the window and opened it.

"Hi," Max said smiling.

"Hi, could I come in?" Matt asked.

"No, mom says I can't let strange men into my room," Max said and laughed as she helped him through the window.

"Is that so, wonder why?" Matt joked. But his laughter stopped when he saw that Max was looking at him very passionately.

"Yea, wonder why?" Max said almost whispering as her mouth came closer to Matt's. He could feel every breath she took. He's mind was clouded. He wanted her so bad, she was so beautiful; like an angel.

He couldn't take it anymore. He put his hand under her chin and kissed her. It started out like an innocent little kiss but they both wanted more; neither wanted it to stop. 

They moved towards the bed and fell slowly on it. Matt was laying on top of Max, his hands were roaming her body, making her lose control.

"Do you want to stop?" Matt asked before things got too far.

"No, do you?" Max wondered.

"No" Matt answered as he kissed along her neck. His hands started to go under her cloths.

"WHAT THE HELL!" yelled a voice from the door. Max and Matt jumped a part to see a very pissed Michael and a grinning Maria.

"Uncle Michael, calm down, it's not what it looks like," Matt said as he got off the bed.

"Oh so you didn't have your hands under my daughter's sweater and you weren't kissing her on the bed!" Michael yelled.

"Ok, so it is what it looks like," Matt said, looking at Max whom stood grinning at Matt's tempt to calm things down.

"You are 17 years old and no seventeen years old daughter of mine is having sex," Michael said to them while he looked at Max.

"I can take care of myself and do what ever I want," Max yelled as she walked up to her father and stared right at him.

"Matt I think you better go, but don't think your off the hock. I will call your mother, and she and your father will deal with you," Maria said to Matt.

"Ok, thank you," Matt said and walked towards the door.

"Matt, I'll call you," Max said as she took her eyes of her father and looked at Matt and smiled.

"I think not," came from Michael. Max eyes snapped back at Michael with anger. Matt took one more look and then left.

"Michael, take it easy on her, remember when we were 17," Maria said and layed a hand on his shoulder.

"But Maria, I don't want her to make the same mistakes," Michael said and looked at Maria, pleading her to be on his side, but somehow he knew she wasn't going to be.

"She is in the room you know," Max said angrily at them.

"Ok, let's all just calm down. Max, you go to sleep. I think your dad and I have to talk," Maria said to them and walked towards the door.

"Maria," Michael pleaded.

"Not another word, Michael," Maria said angrily and waited for him to walk out the room with her.

"Goodnight sweetie," Maria said as Michael came to stand beside her at the door.

"Night," Max said to both of them.

"Max, do you want to go to the park tomorrow? I think we have a lot to talk about," Michael asked nicely.

"Yea, sure," Max answered and smiled at him.

With that said, Michael and Maria left the room. Once they were gone, Max sat down on her bed with a sigh. A smile came as she thought about Matt and how cute he looked when her dad came in on them. With that she fell a sleep.
