(David's POV)
I held Max tightly in my arms as I walked to the drama side of the camp activity circle. As I got closer to the stage Max Mumbled "I Love You David......" making what I next I had to do tough. I stood Max up on the grass and shook him awake till his eyes were to their normal half circles "Max it's your turn to go up to sing are you awake enough to do that?" I asked politely. Max rolled his eyes and walked on stage, I sat down on a log next to Gwen and waited for Max to begin his song. Max plugged in his phone and stated: "The song I will be attempting is Let You Down by NF". I smiled as Max started to sing
"Feels like we're on the edge right now
I wish that I could say I'm proud
I'm sorry that I let you down
Let you down
All these voices in my head get loud
I wish that I could shut them out
I'm sorry that I let you down
Ll-let you down
Yeah, I guess I'm a disappointment
Doing everything I can, I don't wanna make you disappointed
It's annoying
I just wanna make you feel like everything I ever did wasn't ever tryna make an issue for you
But, I guess the more you
Thought about everything, you were never even wrong in the first place, right?
Yeah, I'ma just ignore you
Walking towards you, with my head down, looking at the ground, I'm embarrassed for you
Paranoia, what did I do wrong this time? That's parents for you
Very loyal?"
Max sang so calmly it was amazing, I wanted so bad to clap mid-song that Gwen had to stop me. I wanted to tell her that I had a crush on Max even though she was a nice friend, but I bet she would think I was crazy. I know Max is a jerk, but he is only that way because he is lonely. Am I hopeless or Crazy? Why is someone so lonely so beautiful?
"Shoulda had my back, but you put a knife in it, my hands are full
What else should I carry for you?
I cared for you, but
Feels like we're on the edge right now
I wish that I could say I'm proud
I'm sorry that I let you down
Ll-let you down
All these voices in my head get loud
I wish that I could shut them out
I'm sorry that I let you down
Ll-let you down
Yeah, you don't wanna make this work
You just wanna make this worse
Want me to listen to you
But you don't ever hear my words
You don't wanna know my hurt, yet
Let me guess you want an apology, probably
How can we keep going at a rate like this?
We can't, so I guess I'ma have to leave
Please don't come after me
I just wanna be alone right now, I don't really wanna think at all
Go ahead, just drink it off
Both know you're gonna call tomorrow like nothing's wrong
Ain't that what you always do?
I feel like every time I talk to you, you're in an awful mood
What else can I offer you?
There's nothing left right now, I gave it all to you
Feels like we're on the edge right now
I wish that I could say I'm proud
I'm sorry that I let you down
Ll-let you down
All these voices in my head get loud
I wish that I could shut them out
I'm sorry that I let you down
Ll-let you down
Yeah, don't talk down to me
That's not gonna work now
Packed all my clothes and I moved out
I don't even wanna go to your house
Every time I sit on that couch
I feel like you lecture me
Eventually, I bet that we
Could have made this work and probably woulda figured things out
But I guess that I'm a letdown
But it's cool, I checked out
Oh, you wanna be friends now?
Okay, let's put my fake face on and pretend now
Sit around and talk about the good times
That didn't even happen
I mean, why are you laughing?
Must have missed that joke
Let me see if I can find a reaction
No, but at least you're happy"
The song was almost over and I could tell Max was singing it like a blue dove. When all the other kids where on stage there was talking in the background, but when Max was singing they looked up and took notice. Max was singing with tears on his face that I hadn't noticed till-
"Feels like we're on the edge right now
I wish that I could say I'm proud
I'm sorry that I let you down
Oh, I let you down
All these voices in my head get loud
And I wish that I could shut them out
I'm sorry that I let you down
Oh, let you down
I'm sorry
I'm so sorry now
I'm sorry
That I let you down" Max clasped on stage crying, I was the first one to notice, I ran to the stage picked Max up and told Gwen to start Smores without us. I carried Max as best I could to my cabin. Max was crying softer now and I could tell this wasn't good. I started to worry, but then once Max had curled into a ball I handed him the sandwich and pretzels I had saved from dinner. He ate only a few of the pretzels and half the sandwich. "Max? Are you all right?" I asked the moment he became calm again I got no answer.....
