Chapter 1 - Max's Past
Years ago when Max was 6...

Max's POV
I hear Mommy and Daddy shouting again. They do this a lot... I'm in my room, sitting on my bed, playing with a broken, wooden train. It's the only toy I've got. Mom and Dad are normally too busy at work or arguing that sometimes they even forget I exist... Actually they do it a lot. That means I have to feed myself, go to school by myself and I even taught myself how to walk. They were so busy all the time so I was alone for most of my life.

My teacher taught me how to speak but I still struggle a bit, same with writing... The shouting has stopped, there is a giant bang, like a slam of a door and it goes silent. I hear footsteps heading towards me and Dad appears in my room. He's holding a bottle of something and is struggling to stand. He was drunk. I knew this because I heard mom talking about it and also I don't think I have ever seen him act any different from this.He sits on my bed and I just could smell the beer in him.

He starts a chug of the green bottle until there only a quarter left of it. I put my toy on the floor and eye him suspiciously. He must of wanted something from me because normally he ignores me. Then I feel pressure on my chest and I've been pushed to the floor. I let out a yelp and tears catch the corners of my eyes. I look up to see my dad, he looks pissed...

"YOU USELESS PIECE OF SHIT!" he yells at me then started to kick my sides.

I cry and yelp in pain but he doesn't stop. He kicks me until I go numb and I stop screaming because I knew it wouldn't help. He stops kicking me but then sees my tears and I hear him drinking. I just lay on the floor, crying from intense pain but then it gets worse. I hear a smash and I scream from the blinding pain. He had smashed his empty bottle on me and I could feel shards in me.

"If you tell anyone about this, You're dead!" He scowls and leaves the room.

I wanted to look at the state my body is in. I was probably bruised,bleeding and scarred. My tears blinded me though and the pain made me scrunch up my face. I feel hot liquid on me, it was blood. After awhile I sit up and start to take the shards out of me. I found a med-kit and patched myself up as best as I could. I never liked Daddy... I want Mommy back! Please... please... I crawl up in a ball and cry and cry.

I probably cried for hours... Every breath is a war and I don't think I'm winning anymore. I don't understand what is going on anymore... Please get me out of here... Mom...

(Now to when Max is 10 and is in Camp!)

I woke up sweating and panting. I had the dream of the first time he beaten me. It is still a horror for me. He continued to beat me for years and still does but now, I'm in Camp Campbell... I look around my tent to see that Neil and Nikki were already gone. I sigh a sigh of relief, they can't ask any questions now. Nobody knew about my abuse... They also don't know about my cutting. Yes I was cutting my wrists but It's because I deserve it. My dad doesn't beat me for no reason. Right...?

I don't want to talk about it anymore... I get changed and look at my alarm clock. Shit! It was 10:12! My alarm didn't go off! I quickly run out of my tent and see them doing an activity. This means that they already had breakfast, so I have missed that. It was fine though as I never eat anything so then maybe I can starve to death... They were around the lake and they were all wearing swimming costumes... Oh no!

I can't swim and if somehow David forced me to go then I would have to put on a swimming costume then they could see my cuts, bruises and ribs!I've got to get out of here before they see me! I try to walk away but then...

"Hey Max!" It was David, I gulp, "Come on now, anyone is going swimming in the lake!"

"I can see that...."I frown and look towards them, I see Neil and Nikki there.

"Let's go!" David says with his familiar grin and start to push me towards the lake.

"NononononoNONONONONONONNONONO!" I scream and try to push myself back, "There is no fucking way I'm going in there!"

"What's the matter Maxy?" David says and stops pushing me, I had already gained some people's attention...

"Okay one, Don't call me t-" I began but then Neil and Nikki came into the conversation.

"Sup Max!" Nikki says, giving a small wave, "Why are you yelling at David more then you normally do?"

"Well I think Max is afraid of water," David says and my eyes widen. "WHAT! I am not!" I yell angrily.

"Then why won't you go swimming with the other campers...?"David asks.

"Because um... I don't have a swimming costume." I wasn't lying, my dad never bought me anything...

"That's fine! Just take off your shoes and shirt and you're ready to go!" David says, cheerfully.

"NO." I denied.

"Why not? I would do it!" Nikki says. "B-Because... um I... um..." I couldn't think of anything, that's when my stomach rumbled, begging to be fed, Fuck!

"You hungry Max?" David asks, "Now that I think about it, I didn't see you at breakfast this morning..."

"I don't need any breakfast..." I grumbled.

"I don't think I've ever seen you eat ever..." Nikki says, concerned.

"I don't need any Breakfast!" I say hastily and sharply.

"You say breakfast weirdly," Neil pointed out and I panic, I still struggle sometimes on words, "You say it like Break-fust..."

"You do say a lot of words weirdly, now that I recall..." David says and I am already destroyed by these facts but then it gets worst...

"Yeah anyway, he was having the craziest dream, so I turned off his alarm and let him sleep," Nikki says cheerfully, "He kept on shuffling in his sleep and mumbling stuff like "Mommy" and "Help"It was pretty embarrassing,"

"S-Shut up!" At this point my face was bright red but there was fear in my eyes, also a few tears that were starting to fall, "It was just some stupid fucking dream! I am not going to let you Idiots Fuck With Me! I HATE YOU GUYS AND I HATE THIS FUCKING WORLD!"

"Whoa chill out, I've never seen you like this..." David says, concern actually in his eyes.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"There was rage in my eyes, the tears were over-flowing and my voice was cracking but I didn't care, everything was just a blur.
