the Phineas and ferb theme song is stuck in my head bro..

max's pov!

"i'm sorry." i say, we're still hugging.

"don't do that again max!" will says firmly.

i pull away from the hug.

"are you okay?" will says, looking me up and down.

"i'm okay.." i smile.

if okay means feeling totally bad for leaving without a explanation, cried every night when i was at my dads, then yeah!

i don't know what's wrong with me.

but i'm happy to be back.

"i'm sorry about what i said back at my house.. i didn't mean any of it."

will and mike look at each other, then back at me and shoot me a reassuring smile.

"it's okay." mike says.

"thanks." i say.

"hey, kids. i gotta bring max home now."

i'm so dead.

my moms gonna be so angry.

el gives me a kiss on the cheek as a 'goodbye.'

will and mike wave, i get into hoppers car, he begins to drive to my home.

i think i fell asleep, cause i open my eyes and were turning up my street.

as we get closer to my house, i can see my mom sitting on the porch, she looks super worried.

3rd person pov!

as hopper pulls into the driveway, max's mom runs up over to the car.

max gets out if the car and her mom wraps her arms around her and started crying.

happy tears.

"i love you" max says, her voice cracking.

her mom pulls away from the hug, but is still holding onto max.

max's chin is quivering, her eyes filling up with tears.

max's pov

guilt is not a feeling, it's a presence. a cold, mortifying, unwanted presence.

"why'd you do that?!" my mom cried out.

i cant let her know if was because of her, because of everyone.

as i stood before her, each lie that tumbled out of my mouth, each falsehood that slipped past my lips, ripped another shred of guilt through my sinful body.

i regret leaving.

i regret coming back.

"i'm sorry, maxy." her mom says.

it cursed through my veins, shredding my bones, my ability to speak. exasperated, i tried to slow my breathing and remember the ability to speak. the guilt has infatuated me. i was sorry, i am sorry, i just couldn't say it.

i already crushed her usual cheerful spirit to much.
