-Present-

Peter turns on the lamp next to his bed, awaking to the thunder bursting outside. He walks out the room to the hallway in thirst.  As he arrives at the dinning room his mother stops him. "Max...." She continues softly, "i'm worried about you. Everyday I worry about you, and I just want what's best. Do you understand?"

He takes a sip of water and sets it on the table. "Yes mom." She walks up to him wrapping her arms around his head.

"I love you, but if you don't tell me what's up...i'm sending you to your aunt's in California, Max." She unravels her arms and steps back hoping for some answers.

But Max walks back, and turns toward the hallway. He tightens his fist as he sheds a tear down his soft, peachy cheeks. "....California it is then."

"Max?"

He heads back to his room and jumps in bed. The thunder still roars out in the distance, coming to an end. Covering himself, he looks up at the cieling again. He wonders how it'll be and what's ahead for him.

"All I want is a shelter. Somewhere to hide from the hell I live. I want to forget the shit I've done, the person I've been, and the life I've ventured.... I wanna meet someone.....a person who will understand and accept the way I am...."

He turns to his side and dims the light. He stays in his postion to look to the window with rain dripping down. His eyelids begin to close, and he falls fast asleep.
