Welcome to Camp Campbell! (Max x reader)

Chapter Thirty-Seven

Y/n's POV

"Oh David also, when do we go back home?" 
"Next week Monday, the one that's coming up."
"Okay, thanks again, David." I leave the room going back out, probably going to tell Max than mess around on guitar then go to sleep, sleep is hanging out in my tent till around ten or elven for when I really actually fall asleep.
So that's what I do, I go over to Max and let him know.
"Hey, Max."
"Oh hey, what'd David say about them?"
"I need to keep them on, and they'll still be on when I leave, so that'll be fun..."
"Oh god, how long do these even have to stay on? That's ridiculous!" I nod.
"Yeah, I'm sure my parents won't appreciate that I have bandages and a patch on my cheek. Either that or they just won't give a shit." I state in a monotone voice not really caring if they don't care. In fact, I'd rather them not give a shit than freaking out on me or David.
Max nods, he has a bit of a worried face on, "Damn, neither of those sound good."
"Yeah. I'd rather have them not giving a fuck, don't want them freaking the hell out on me or David."
"That'd be the best possibility out of those two."
"Mhm. Well, I'm gonna go hide out and play my guitar alone in the woods again." I say changing and ending the subject while walking back to my tent to grab it. While I walk past he nods.
I sigh entering the woods, making a light smile, because for now, I'm free from everyone, and wanting to enjoy this moment.
"Alone at fucking last," I say walking deeper in. I find a nice spot and just stand thinking of a few songs to pass the time.
I decide to play a mixture of different songs: Whiskey Lullabies by Janet Devlin, Two Birds on a wire by  Regina Spektor, Bubblegum Bitch, Teen Idle, and Starring Role all by Marina and the Diamonds, then a few from Melanie Martinez. I just keep playing not worrying about a thing and singing and playing my heart out while smiling actually enjoying myself. They didn't mean anything, they were just songs I liked.

I then just lay down taking a deep breath not noticing how much time has gone by. From that thought, I sit up and look around, I really should be heading back now.

I get back to the camp and there already all in their tents. That's actually kind of nice, I don't really want to deal with anyone at the moment. Instead of going straight to my tent, I go over to the mess hall, sneak a small snack then heading back. I eat, strum and fall asleep.

David's POV

I woke up nice and early today! I helped get the activity ready with QM and Gwen! I couldn't wait. We, Gwen and I will be voting on who wins. When we vote we turn around, and the QM will bring a dish then we taste it and rank it. QM will give them a number but Gwen and I won't know it. I did explain this to them before we woke up the kids.
I woke all of them up got them ready by eating breakfast first then they started the competition at ten. Realizing my mistake, I changed the prize, is that they do not have to do Sunday's activity, which would be creative writing. And then they pack up and leave on Monday. I really hope everything goes well for Max and me.

Max's POV

We start in a bit for the competition, they said we could bake almost anything, as long as they had the correct ingredients. I walked over to Y/n, she had already had a table and had an idea of what we were going to bake. She decided on cupcakes, she saw that they had frosting so that was her instant idea. She asked what kind of flavor I wanted. I picked chocolate. People love that shit even though some don't. But I feel like Gwen does. And I don't want to do Sunday's activity.
"So campers! You have up to an hour! Ready set go!" David bounced.
Y/ had already brought over the ingredients not caring if people had needed them I'm sure they can wait a bit.
"Hey Max, Could you stir this for a while while I get the other things ready?" She put the bowl in front of me with a whisk, I held the bowl and stirred. She set the oven then looked over at me.
"No stir it harder, we'll need not so lumpy." She continued on to preparing the batch, we were only making one, she said that everyone would be able to have them with the tray that they have. Anyhow, I continue on trying to stir it harder. I notice her look over after spraying down the pan and putting in the paper things in.
This is tiresome how the hell can people do this. Before anything else happens she snatches the bowl from me having a fork in hand and just stirs it quicker and harder. She just kept going how the hell. Then again, I never really bake anything. Never anything like this.
"There, done." She finishes spinning the bowl, "now just need to pour it into the paper cups." She gets out a spoon to make it easier. "Could you do that while I put all this away? Thanks." She says already having things in hand walking back, I smile lightly, honestly, I would've done the same.
She comes back as quick as when she left. I've only filled one, she gets another spoon and helps out with making them all have close to the same amount. She put it in the oven and set the time.
"Now what?" I ask
"We clean up the mess."
"Uhhhhg."
"Suck it up, come on, I'm sure they wouldn't mind a bit of help knowing," she looks at the others of how they also have a pretty big mess, "They have messes too... and if they ask us to clean up our own messes we don't have to do anything." I nod and grab a towel and she does the same.
"How many times do you bake? You seem to know how to do it quickly, and what I've heard good too."
"Hah, a lot actually. My parents sometimes make me make supper for the family, so, I know how to cook a lot of things, I hate that they make me do it, but hey, I know how to cook many things. Nothing fancy just regular suppers like pasta and other shit, and when they don't feed anyone, I'll make something for my siblings and myself. Sometimes my brother will cook instead so I can do what I need to do." She explains, damn, that sounds, kinda shitty.
"Oh god, jeez... wow."
"Eh, I'm sorta used to it? I don't know." She shrugs "ANYWAYS, moving on from that garbage." She nervously laughed balling her hands into fists, I grab one and hold it.
"You-You alright?" I don't understand if I'm doing this right, comforting I'm pretty sure I am.
She sighs looking ahead avoiding eye contact "Yeah. I'll be fine." She says with not much emotion, but she does hold my hand in return. I'm glad I'll be able to talk to her and hang out with her more and so she can what people say 'Escape' their home life. I'm sure she'll like that. Damn, that was soft of me.
"How many more minutes?" I asked changing the subject.
"Uh, about ten more, than we need to test them by sticking in a toothpick or a fork. Then we'll know when it's done, then they cool and finally I'll put on the frosting." I nod listening. 
QM walks by telling us that we're number six for the competition. We nod.
"THIRTY MORE MINUTES CAMPERS." The Quarter Master yells once he's done with everyone.
Ten more minutes pass and the oven goes off, she takes hem out with an oven hand thing and sets them on the oven. She grabs a fork and sticks it in.
"Perfect! They're done! I just gotta wait a while now." She says feeling better than a while ago. About ten-fifteen minutes pass and she puts the frosting down on the cupcakes. She put the frosting on, thankfully there were different colors, I'm sure David would love it. We only had a few colors so she made a few foxes and then a few other kinds of forest animals plus a few cats and dogs. They looked surprisingly well, could use some work but better than what I could do.
We both have one of our choice and they are delicious and I don't see why she says they're just good. I kinda want another.
"You know how you keep calling your food good?"
"Mhm," She says finishing hers.
"These are actually amazing, so is what you put on them." She looks at me kinda surprised I give a confused one back "What?"
"Thank you and wow, you seem in a great mood today, sounding all nice and comforting me." I roll my eyes.
"Must be the cupcakes." I give a confirming nod.
"TIMES UP KIDS" QM shouts. He puts a slip of paper on our plates having the number he gave to us. He starts with the first then to the last. It takes forever to get through them but he finally gets to us and hands it to the three. David gasps when he sees the animal frosting on it. They eat it and start talking since we were the last group.
"Alright, we've decided who has won" Gwen starts.
"GET ONTO IT, HURRY IT UP" Nurf yells.
Gwen shakes her head, "Group six won, who's that?"
"That would be us!" I say confedently.
