I found myself downstairs in a daze. I really couldn't see much of anything except for the moon light coming from the window. I felt weak, faint. As I took a few steps closer towards the window my eyes began to focus. I could see a dark figure standing in front of the fence. I squinted in hopes to get a clarity.

Even with the moon as bright as it was all I could see was the silhouette of the person. I found the strength to step back and when I looked back it was gone. I walked towards the front door and put my hand on the lock. I felt the click vibrate through the door and up my arm and I turned the door knob. As I pulled open the door I peaked out.

I opened the door all the way and stepped out on the porch. Nothing, I heard nothing. I couldn't see anything. I took a deep breath and smiled. As I looked up at the moon I could feel its light illuminating the night. I looked back down and there he was. Right in front of me, breathing heavily. I took a step back and he grabbed my arm.

"Hello, Son." My whole body tensed... 

I gasped and sat up in bed. I looked over at Max and he was passed out. I put my hands over my eyes and wiped my face. I stood up and walked to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I closed the door slowly with a small click. 

"Get a hold of yourself."  I whispered. As I looked at my eyes and my shirtless body I could see where my body filled out. Where I began to show signs of health and happiness. I could also see the scars that lay across my stomach. I winced. 

"Everything will be okay. You'll figure it out." I smiled at my reflection in the mirror and splashed some water over my face. After taking a deep breath I switched off the light and opened the bathroom door. I found a tired Max standing there, concern and exhaustion on his face. 

"Everything okay? I kind of heard you." I froze. I guess I wasn't that quite the second time I spoke. I nodded and walked back towards the bed. Max crawled in after me and put his arms around me. "You know if anything's wrong you can tell me." I nodded again. 

"Hmm?" I spoke instead. "Yeah I know. I will." 

The lie felt like hot metal coming out of my mouth. Technically I wasn't lying. I was telling the truth. I just need some more information and detail. I need to find out where they are, what he's done. I'm not even sure if my mother is okay... I haven't spoken to her in days. I felt Max's arms tighten around me. 

"Everything's fine. I love you." I felt Max's smirk on my cheek then he kissed me and drifted off. I let myself fall into a deep sleep. I dreamless sleep this time. 


I woke up to faint music coming from the bathroom. The door was slightly open and I saw Max brushing his wet hair. I opened the door and started humming along to the music in the back. He looked at me and smiled. 

"You can shower if you want." I nodded. "Yeah but you're in here." 

I saw a slight smirk come across his face and he closed the door locking it behind him. I took a step back and he put his arms around me. "Does being naked around me make you nervous?" I hide my eyes underneath my hair. 

He lifted my head and kissed me hard and greedily. I let his tongue slide in willingly and it roamed around my mouth. My shirt came off and then his. He lifted me up and set me on the counter. I tugged at his pajama pants and he pulled them off. He yanked at my waist band and I let him slide off my shorts. 

We were both left in our underwear, bulges touching and rubbing as we kissed. I let out a faint moan and he slowed. Each time he rubbed against me I felt myself tense. I couldn't breathe from the intensity of the pleasure. It was almost torture. His finger slipped into my waistband and as I let out a loud moan he put his hand over my mouth. 

"What?" I muffled out. He laughed silently and pointed with his other hand at the bathroom door. 

"MAX?! DREW!? I NEED HELP!" Kiara shouted from the other side. Max smiled slyly and began slowly rubbing his bulge against mine. My breathing hitched. "With what?" He asked. 

I tried to push him off but he just kept teasing me. I felt myself try to moan and it was stopped by his hand over my mouth. I couldn't even hear what Kiara was saying. My eyes were closed and my hands were digging into his back from need. 

"Okay I'll help you when we're out." After a few moment Max let go of my mouth and I pushed him back. "That was not cool!"

"It was funny though, you almost moaned through my hand." I blushed. I looked up at him. 

"Get the lube." As he rushed out of the bathroom door I closed it behind him and locked it. He tried to open it and knocked. "Hey let me in." I laughed. 

"Payback." I showered in peace while Max just shouted at me from the other side of the door frustrated. Pretty sure I'm going to pay for that one. 

When I was out I got dressed and I couldn't hear Max anymore. I grabbed my phone and began brainstorming way that I could get out of the house to go look around for clues. I guess a good place to start would be at my mothers. To make sure she's okay and he's not there. I grabbed a light jacket and poked my head out from the door. Coast was clear.

I tip toed down the stairs and when my foot reached the bottom stair I was tackled. "You are such a tease Drew!" Max was on top of me holding my hands over my head. I just laughed as he kissed me. "I'll make it up to you, I promise. And don't you start football camp today?" He nodded as he stood up. 

"I don't know who's bright idea it was to have it in the winter but yay suffering." I giggled. 

"Are you going to come to open practice and watch your man?" He asked. I nodded. Wouldn't miss it for the world. Kiara came up behind me. "I'll go with you. It'll be fun to watch the actual hot men." He scoffed at him. 

"It's at 4. Don't be late." He picked up his gear and headed out the door. I rushed towards Kiara in the kitchen and felt the word vomit I've been holding in start to come up. 

"Kiara! My dad was released from jail and he texted me and told me that he wanted to be a family first my mom then me and I have to find my mom and make sure shes okay and  I want to know if you'll help me and no Max doesn't know because I don't want him to worry and I need evidence before he can be taken back and Max doesn't think and.." 

Kiara pulled me into a hug and I stopped speaking. "Of course I'll help you. Are you up for it though? After everything?" 

I gazed at her for a bit then nodded. "Yeah, I've been better and I don't have nightmare's anymore. I actually feel like myself. I can do this." 

She looked me up and down then nodded. "Okay, we have four hours till Max's practice. Let's go visit your mom."

She grabbed her keys and we made our way out towards the car.
