Now (Y/N) gone, Max has to live through a week with out his source of light or happiness. He's done it before, he should be okay.

But now Max lost his motivation. What was there to wake up to? It used to be (Y/N), but she's back home.

Max loved her. (Y/N) was so important to him that he couldn't believe, a month ever since he met her (again), he would fall so deeply in love with her. He loved her hair, her eyes, her smile...all the cliché shit. He loved the sound of her laugh, even the way she cried that night. Max knew he could be perfect for her. But the real question, does she love him back?

That was Max's problem. He loved someone who might not love him back. Or does she?
(Y/N) wouldn't leave his mind. Max almost thought was going insane.

(Y/N) was a drug and Max was addicted.

Being with (Y/N) felt like Max was home. He had a place to call comfort. Even though he was doing the comforting, (Y/N) was his shelter. Max thought (Y/N) was the roof to protect him; the light to a dark room. All these similes were swimming through Max's mind.

But (Y/N) was gone. Not forever, but not for a day.

Max was living life how he used to before (Y/N). He got dressed and waited for his roommates to drive him. He worked in the offices and continued to edit videos.

It's the same crap over, and over.

"Hey Max, is the video for next week finished?" Adam came in behind Max. Max took off his headphones and nodded, showing Adam the finished work.

"Nice job, man. Keep it up." Adam ruffled Max's hair and his character broke out. "Don't touch my hair!!" He growled swatting Adam away.

Adam laughed his famous, contagious laugh. Max rolled his eyes as Adam walked away. He put back his headphones and went back to editing more videos.

*ding ding*

Max felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He pulled it out and saw a text from (Y/N). Of course he opened it happily.

HERES THE FAM :D

(Y/N) sent a picture with Max's family and her in selfie mode. Max laughed, his mood becoming 10x better. Seeing (Y/N)'s face brightened his own. Now he felt complete.

"MAX!!" A voice called out so loud Max jumped. He turned around to find Red walking through the hallway.

"What cha doing?" Red asked casually walking over to Max. He saw him smiling at his phone and Red being a nosy little bitch, wanted to know.

"Nothing." Max said putting his phone down. He didn't even lock it.

"What's on your phone?" Red asked reaching over to it. Max saw Red's hand and slapped it when it was on its way to steal his phone.

"It's just a text message." Max replied going back to the computer hoping Red would go away. Red stopped his movements for a minute, but Max knew he was still there.

In a second, Red stole Max's phone and it was still unlocked. He probably had auto-lock for 4 minutes.

Red started running down the hallway to avoid Max. Max was on his tail, being 6 feet tall and having legs that could run fast. Red was trying his best to run, and he passed Barney, Adam, and Ross in the process, making everyone look at him.

Red saw the text message, and it was (Y/N) and Max's family.

Suddenly, Red stopped running. Max was right behind him ready to jump on him, because you know, it's Max. Both of them were alone in the Do Not Laugh set. Red was panting, as well as Max.

"C'mon, give me my phone." Max commanded holding his hand out. Red put a finger up.

"I have one question, and you have to answer it." Red said through his labored breathing. Max's shoulders fell as he let Red go on. Red smirked.

"Do you like (Y/N)?"

*glass shattering sound*
*car crash sound*
*fire crackling sound*

That question that puts everything on edge. That question that could go right or wrong.

"N-no." Max stuttered, his face quickly being flushed. He felt hot, like he was about to pass out. Max casually ran his hand through his hair trying to seem normal.

He wasn't going to risk his friendship with (Y/N), or risk his friends trying so hard to put them together.

"C'mon man..." Red trailed, tilting his head. Max's eyebrow was raised as if Red was challenging him.

"I don't like, (Y/N)." "I know you do. Everyone here knows you do."

Max got angry. His temper grew so much he just snatched his phone from Red and stomped away.

He needed time to cool off. Usually he would go for his walk, but he was too lazy to walk. So Max decided to go to the mall that was only a couple blocks away.

He left a note of his desk and just quietly left the offices. No one would know until they read the note.

'If you wanna find me, don't. I'll probably yell at you. Also, Red, sorry about earlier. I'll be back later'
