(TW SOME ABUSE)
You're a 16 year old girl just trying to escape her horrible abusive home, and that opportunity arrives when you finds a brochure for a camp where you make friends and meet another person who you wants to be more than friends with...
It's early in the morning and you get woken up by the sound of David's energetic voice. "Rise and shine you two! Today we have a very special day ahead of us!" You groggily sit up and stare at David with half asleep eyes. "What time is it?" You ask rubbing your eyes.
"7 am"
"Ugh, why so early?" Max asks "I thought it'd be nice to give you guys extra time to get ready!"
I guess that sounds nice of him.
"As nice as that sounds, didn't we just have a party the other day?" You ask. "Well since last party went so terribly, I thought it'd be better to have a more wholesome, run by adults, supervised party."
"Run by adults supervised party?" Max questions. "Parents day!" David yells in excitement. You and Max just look at each other. Max knows what your situation with your father is like. But you've now realized you don't know his situation with his parents.
"David, we've been through this, we both know my parents ain't gonna show up." Max says crossing his arms. David looks at Max with a frown. "Cmon Max, you just gotta believe." David says trying to lighten the mood. "But anyways, I expect to see you campers in the mess hall at 8:30. That should be plenty of time!" David wave bye and exits.
You look over at the boy, wondering what he meant earlier. "Has David done parents day before?" You ask looking over at the boy. "Yes, he does it every single year. And it just pisses me off!"
"Why?" "It just does." "Ok."
You walk over to Max and sit next to him. "Well it's not like I'm gonna see my dad either." You wrap an arm around the boys neck. "So we can be loners together!" Max just holds your arm and smiles. ——————————— You and Max have been laying on his bed just scrolling through his phone. But you get up once you see the time.
"It's 7:30, im gonna take a shower." You say as you grab your bag with your stuff. You start to walk towards the tent flaps.
"Without me?"
You immediately stop and stare at the boy. You have a visible look of disgust from the cringeiness. Max try's to stay in character but immediately burst out laughing.
Max stops when he see you're about to talk."Please never say anything like that again." Max starts to laugh even more. —————————— After you got out the shower, you put on your outfit and began applying the foundation to your neck.

After you apply it, you put on your wedge sandals and start to fix up your hair. As you're doing so, someone walks in.
"Oh, my bad! I didn't know anyone else was in here!" It was Harrison. "No, it's fine. I'm just brushing my hair." You say while still looking in the mirror. Harrison looks over at you, and you can see him checking you out through the mirror.
Does this boy have no shame?
"Whatcha doin over there?" You ask not turning around and curling your lashes. "Just wondering what you're so dressed up for."
"Nothing really, I just felt like it." "What? Trynna impress all the milfs?" "Hmm, nah. Maybe the dilfs though?" "Gross y/n! I was just joking." Harrison laughs. "Well I don't know if I'm joking because I haven't seen any of the parents yet."
"Really?"
"Of course not! I was just playing. And besides, how do you think that would make Max feel?"
"Oh right. Max." Harrison says looking down. "Yeah. Max. Why do you get like that when I mention his name?" You ask, finally finishing up.
Harrison suddenly steps in front of you and embraces you closely to himself. He places his hand under your chin and begins to talk. "He just makes me so mad because I know I can be better for you."
What is up with him?
You quickly step back from the boy. "Uhh, although that sounds very....flattering?..I'm with Max now, and you don't know anything about him." You say trying to find the right words. "Well neither do you." Harrison says. "What?" You ask. "I've known him for like, 5 years, and you've known him for a month. So, no offense, but I think I might know more about him than you."
You're taken aback by this.
When he says it like that, it kinda gets to my head. But who cares what he thinks?
"Fuck you."
You walk out and head back to your tent. You walk inside and see Max tying his shoe laces. Max looks up when he hears you. "Hey y/n, you ok?" He asks. "Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" You question. "You look irritated."
"It's nothing, really. How about we just go to the mess hall, it's already 8:20."
"Alright then." Max says sounding a bit unsure.
Just as you step into the mess hall, David rushes over to you. "Y/n! I'm glad you got here early! I was looking at your camp form and realized you never put your guardians phone number. So I called up the school that was listed, and called for contact info. So now I have your father's number and can invite him to parents day!"
You immediately stop. Your eyes widen in shock and it feels as though you can no longer breathe. You don't reply to David and just hold yourself for an attempt at comfort. "D-David. You really..didn't have to.. do that." You say slightly shaken up.
"It's no problem at all y/n! The party should start at around 1, I'll see you there!" David walks out of the mess hall.
"Y/n?" Max asks, placing his hand on your shoulder.
No, no, no, no! He's gonna be so upset when he sees me! He's gonna take me away from here and lock me up forever. I'll never get to leave the house. Then I won't get to see any of my new friends. And most importantly, Max! No, no, no, no!
Panic begins to slowly rise more and more into your body. Your chest feels like it has tightened, like someone's squeezing your heart. You drop to your knees and hold your shoulders. At this point you're hyperventilating. You're also sweating like crazy.
"Y/n!" Max drops to the floor and holds your shoulders, trying to get you to look at him. When you do, your eyes are moving frantically around the room. "Y/n, look at me. What's wrong?"
"Y/n, are you ok?" "What's wrong with her?" "Is she ok?" "Did she get hurt?" "What's happening?"
Everyone in the mess hall is crowding around you and Max, trying to see what's going on. It's only about 4 people.
"Everyone! Get out of here! Go get an adult! Leave! Can't you see she needs space?!" Max yells. Everyone begins to run out the room. Max looks back at you and sighs.
"Y/n, I don't know what to do, but just know I'm here." Max leans towards you and wraps his arms around you. You and Max stay like this for a couple of moments until it seems like you've finally calmed down. Your breath is steady again, and you can breathe normally. Once you regain your composure, you wrap your arms around the boys back.
