***I WANT ANYONE WHO IS READING THIS TO PUT ON HAPPY BY NF WHILE READING... PUT IT ON LOOP**PLEASE AND THANKS**** THIS IS NOT MY SONG I THINK IT JUST ADDS TO THE STORY***


As I was zipping up my bag I heard the phone ring. I bolted downstairs and grabbed the phone as fast as I could. "Harrington Residents," I said into the phone. "Hey, so I will be there in a few minutes, some stuff is happening down here and it's kinda crazy," Eddie explained. 

"No I will be there, I can run," I said, "what's wrong?" I asked. "There are cops all around Max's house," He said. "that's the red hair right?" He asked. "Ok, I am on my way," I put down the phone and ran to my room, I took my bag, my walkie, and my wallet. 

I rushed back downstairs and threw myself at the front door, I got outside and started running as fast as I could down the street. I soon found the turn into the trailer park. I was hyperventilating, I stopped to walk a bit and saw them bring Max's mom on a stretcher. I dropped my bag.

I stopped, I couldn't breathe, there were bruises all over her face, and you could barely tell it was her. "Susan?!" I screamed as if she would answer. I ran over and tried to get past the police, but they told me no and pushed me back. "STOP NOOOO!" I shrieked. 

Susan was my mom when I mine decided to be the way she was. When my Dad left completely she was there. I hadn't seen her for a while and I knew who did that to her. I told the officer, "I live here I need to go inside," He nodded in response and let me go in.

I walked in on Billy screaming at his Dad. "What the fuck?!" I interrupted. "What did you do?" I asked. I knew they probably just got in a fight and it escalated too fast for Susan. Billy looked at me stunned, I was probably the last person he expected. 

"I-," Billy started. "He didn't, I did, I got mad, and she stepped over the line," His Dad explained as if it was no big deal, as he sipped on a beer. "Well, you're not the one on the way to the hospital!" I screamed. He set down the beer and staggered towards me, Billy got in front of me and blocked his dad.

"No," He said firmly. "Put your hands up," One of the cops said, coming in. Billy raised his hands a bit, I grasped one of his hands and said, "Don't, you did nothing," I said, he slowly put his hands down smiling at me. "Put your hands behind your back Sir," The officer asked Billy's Dad. They took him away leaving us there.

I looked out the window and saw Eddie looking at me, he had my bag and my walkie. "Help," I mouthed to him, he nodded and walked in. "Looks like a party," Eddie said, walking up to me. I hugged him, I hugged him like I was never gonna let go. He dropped my bag and hugged me back. 

"What's wrong baby?" He whispered in my ear. Somehow Billy heard "Baby?" Billy asked. "Yea, that's what he said," I grumbled. I looked to see if Billy was watching and when I saw he was I turned to Eddie and kissed him, He kissed me back. I wanted to stay in that moment forever, it was sweet, slow, and careless. I didn't care if it was to take a shot at Billy, that was the best thing I have ever done in my life.

I pulled away and laughed a little, I forgot for a moment what had happened to Susan. I looked at Billy and he was looking at me like he just got hit by a train. "Have a good day Billy," I said. I picked up my bag and took Eddie's hand to walk out. All those years of bullshit and trauma just felt wiped away, he couldn't hurt me now.

I was floating on air walking out of that trailer. I needed my walkie. "Eddie, I need the walkie," I said, reaching out for it. He let go of it letting me have it. "Hey, Max?" I asked, pushing down the button. "Yeah?" She answered. "Where are you?" I asked. "I am at Mike's," She answered.

"We are coming to get you, your Mom is in the hospital," I said. "What?!" She screamed into the walkie, I jolted away in surprise. I turned the walkie off and ran to Eddie's van. I jumped into the front seat and threw my stuff in the back. Eddie ran back to his room to get his stuff.

He sprinted back and within moments we were on the road, on our way to Mike's house. We were speeding, more than usual for Eddie. We soon pulled up to Mike's and Max threw herself out the door and rushed to us. The others followed her. Mike, El, Will, and Lucas. They all got in the back.

I looked into the mirror to see a tear slowly creep down Max's cheek. Lucas tried to wipe it for her and she slapped his hand away. I felt myself start to rip apart seeing her so sad, I knew what was gonna happen, if her mom kept acting the way she was, Max was gonna have to move back to California with her Dad.

You could feel the sadness floating around the van like a disease. When we pulled up all of them jumped out of the van. We just waited.
