A/N: Hi people thank you so much for your great feedback. I cant believe i have another Max hating fanfic on myhands!!
Just want to add a disclamer for Avrils Complicated - i will disclaim all songs at the end of the fic though.
Big thanx to:
g7silvers - I guess in a way he did try to talk to her but Liz hasnt been very cooperative.
dreamer19 - I promise Liz will get back at Tess.

extingman - In Max's defense he only had lunch with Tess once and he only picked her up and dropped her once. This is just a small misunderstanding that has got completely out of control.

Part 21
Liz
I wont lie and tell you that when I found out Max hadn’t sent the flowers and really had forgotten my birthday that I wasn’t destroyed because the truth is I am. I’ve just decided that I’m not going to let him ruin my birthday. My parents have gone to so much trouble and so many people are coming tonight to celebrate, I am not going to let the fact that the most important person in my life forgot my birthday ruin it when so many other fabulous people didn’t.
So that’s why I’m walking around in my new black bikini and see through sarong putting the finishing touches on the party out near the pool.
‘Hey chica’ Maria smiles as she emerges from the house dressed in a similar outfit to mine, except hers is blue. Her and Isabel showed up about 3 hours ago with lots of ice cream and let me cry and rant and then bitch myself back to a happy birthday. I’m so lucky to have such good friends.
‘You look hot Lizzie’ Alex tells me as he follows Maria out of the house in a pair of boardies and a very bright Hawaiian shirt. I chose a beach theme for the party since we were going to have it out near the pool
‘You look very handsome too’ I grin.
People have started to arrive so we decide to start playing a couple of songs. I tell the guys which song I really want to start with and they all laugh at me. But hey a girl has to vent.
Chill out what you yelling for
Layback it’s all been done before
And if you could only let it be you would see
I like you the way you are
When we’re driving in your car
And you’re talking to me one on one
But you’ve become
Somebody else
Round everyone else
Your watching your back like you can’t relax
Your trying to be cool, you look like a fool to me
Tell me why you had to go and make things so complicated
I see the way your acting like your somebody else gets me frustrated
Life likes this, you
You fall and you crawl and break and you take what you get and you turn it into
Honestly promise me I’m never gonna find you faking
No no no
I’m half way through the song when I notice that Isabel has arrived with a trailing Max behind her. If I hadn’t seen what a puppy with its tail between his legs looked like before I’d certainly know now.
You come over unannounced
Dressed up like your something else
Where you are and where it’s sad to see
You’re making me
Lights out when you strike your pose
Take off all your preppy clothes
You know your not fooling anyone
When you become
Somebody else, round everyone else
Your trying to be cool but you look like a fool to me
I’m trying my hardest not to look at him at the moment but he’s wearing a pair of black boardies and a white wife beater that show’s off all his scrumptious muscles.
So tell me why you had to go and make things so complicated
I see the way your acting like your somebody else gets me frustrated
You fall and you crawl and break and you take what you get and you turn it into
Honestly promise me I’m never gonna find you faking
No no no
Chill out what you yelling for
Lay back it’s all be done before
And if you could only let it be you would see.
Max
I’m the worst boyfriend in the world, I’m no better than the scum on the bottom of your shoes and that’s what I feel like right now. When I saw the disappointment in Liz’s eyes when she realised that I had no idea what she was talking about with the flowers I thought my heart was going to shatter. She was so disappointed in me and I never wanted to ever see her look at me like that.
Of course I copped a reaming by both Isabel and Maria and Alex and Michael wont speak to me but none of it was worse then having to explain to my mum why my sister won’t speak to me.
Then there is Tess.
Earlier that Day
‘So Max what time?’ she asks again when I don’t answer.
‘Actually Tess, Liz and I cant make it so we’ll have to do it some other time’ I tell her.
‘Oh I thought it was just the two of us?’ she asks me.
‘I never said that’ I defend myself.
‘So how come?’ she asks.
‘Well it’s Liz’s birthday and she’s having a party tonight. I completely forgot about the movies Tess. Sorry’ I tell her. I try to turn the situation around because the last thing I want is for Tess to get the impression that I forgot my girlfriend’s birthday event though I technically did.
‘Well maybe I could come with you to the party’ she smiles at me, but it’s what’s hidden behind the smile that worries me.
‘No you cant come’ Maria snaps then ‘it’s a party for Liz and her friends and Liz cant stand you’ she yells causing all the people in the hall to turn and look at her.
‘Well it’s not really up to you is it Deluca. If Max wants to take me that’s up to him’ she bites back with a smile.
Whoa the old Tess re-emerges.
‘Look Tess. Liz is my girlfriend so I’m going to the party with her. I want to be able to be your friend but it’s obvious that you don’t want to be just my friend’ I tell her.
‘Yeah that and the fact she’s been lying to you Maxwell’ Michael tells me then.
‘What do you mean?’ I ask.
‘Paid a visit to Tess’s Mum yesterday and it seems as though she’s in great health not to mention that Tess’s Dad got himself a great job in Clovis and Tessy dear here actually just got herself a new car during the break’ he informs me.
Oh god what have I done. I’m so naive, I’ve been trying to be a friend to Tess because I thought she was going through a hard time whilst all the while ruining my relationship with me dream girl and it’s been a scheme on Tess’s part.
‘What the hell’ I turn angrily towards Tess.
‘Max it’s not what you think’ she tells me
‘Well it certainly sounds like you’ve been lying your ass of. WHY?’ I snap.
‘God don’t you get it. I like you Max and you won’t even look at me. I was your friend when everyone else thought you were a reject for fuck sake and as soon as you loose your dorky image Parker snaps her fingers and you go running. Is she that good of a fuck Max?’
‘When are you going to get it through your thick head that I don’t like you like that Tess. I wanted to be your friend because no one else did, that’s it. I don’t know how to tell you in any other language but I’ll learn if it means you’ll finally take the hint’ I yell at her.
‘And as for Liz this has nothing to do with her. She has always been my friend so that just proves what kind of a friend you’ve been all along that you didn’t even notice. And not that it’s any of your business Tess but yeah she is a fucking dream in bed’ I finish before storming off.
TBC .... next part Wednesday and Liz and Max will finally have a chat!! the next two parts will be rough sailing people so be prepared.
Also consider this my shameless plug. Check out my new fic 'When the past comes crashing down" it's over at Alien Abyss.
Just want to add a disclamer for Avrils Complicated - i will disclaim all songs at the end of the fic though.
