A White Corruption (A Teen Purifed Max Au)

Chapter 2 Questioning

Max's POV

I opened my eyes just to see I was in my tent. I rubbed my eyes. "Uhhhg " I groaned. I got up heading to the mess hall.
"There you are Max! " I heard him say
"... Hey David." I looked around. "Where is every one else? " I asked.
"Well you slept in that's all! " he said placing food in front of me. I proceeded to eat it. Once I had finished I thought back to the night before.

' "Someone this summer will undergo a corruption" ' maybe I was doomed. I mean I still have Neil and Nikki but who knows how long it'd last. What if I suddenly become corrupted!? I hid underneath my hood. David came back.
"Max... Are you ok? " he asked I didn't respond just had got up and walked to a area of the camp.

I sat right there. I wanted to cry but I forced myself not too. I looked around at the campers.
Dolph and space kid painted space kid's cardboard rocket ship, Neil was being bothered by Nikki but was enjoying the company... I think. Nerris, Harrison, and Preston were playing something Nurf well he was talking to the quartermaster.
'Everyone is in some form connected to a member at the camp... Except for me...' I felt the tears well up. I tried to force myself to stop it by wiping away the tears, but I looked at my damp sleeve seeing how my tears made it a little lighter? Eh the sun could be bleaching it. (I think that's how that works?) I decided I would just go to my little safe area in hopes of clearing my fucking mind.

I sat down before it all hit me like a fucking train. I buried my face in my hands. Sobbing uncontrollably. Why was this happening I'm Max! I don't act like this!
"Max?..." I looked up. 'David? ' "Max? Are you ok be honest.." I looked down feel humiliation with someone seeing me in a state like this. I was soon wrapped up in a hug. "It's ok... " (why the fuck am I tearing up?... Eh I'd need to hear that too) I soon broke down telling him every thing why I felt embarrassed why I was crying in the first place. And more. "Max.. You know you don't have to hide your emotions just let's get back to camp" I didn't want to go back. David seeing me like this is one thing but the others seeing me like this. Oh fuck no. So I did something to stall for time. I looked at David's cracked watch it read 12:53 pm.
"Can we go on a hike before we head back? " David looked at me there was excitement but I could also tell he understood why.
"Oh course we can go on a hike!!" He jumped up. We began walking. "And remember it's ok. "

(Tears were shed I think. Anyway sorry it took me a while to update this I had a rough week.. But I'm fine...ish so yeah! I'm just now going to go work on another pur-... Brainwashed cuz I'll explain at some point max au anyway here's this)
