(Camp Camp) Max x Reader

Chapter 16

Y/n laid upon the her cot as the moonlight peeked through the flaps of the tent and appearing gracefully on her skin. The sound of waves from the lake played beautifully in the breeze, it was nights like these that made falling asleep here at Camp Campbell,enjoyable. Y/n inhaled and exhaled quietly as she drifted off to sleep. Her mind going off to places, creating dreams. Y/n's closed eyelids begins to flutter, her body shuffling though her sheets, eyebrows slightly furrowing as a scene was beginning to play. Even though tonight was calm and soothing for the young teen, it didn't stop her mind producing what it seemed like a nightmare.

Y/n looked around frantically,analyzing her surroundings. She noticed the stage she was on and the red velvet curtains in front of her, closed. Even though it was dark from behind the curtains;currently standing next to a black piano. She could see the warm light seeping under the slightly dusty and thick curtains. She looked off stage for a brief moment to only find out that no one was there, it was just her alone.. by herself. "Hello? Anybody there?" She called out in a normal level of volume. But no response, except that from outside the curtains-low whispers and non-audible mumbles took place. "Hello? Someone,anyone! Can you hear me?" Y/n called out once more, but a little bit more louder than the first time.

The curtains opened rather quickly, the light blinding Y/n for a brief moment. She held up her hand over her eyes as she blocked the warm lighting away from her face. She then began to hear footsteps on stage. She looked to her right to see her mother and her freshly curled locks going past her shoulders bouncing as each step she took. As Y/n's eyes wandered her mother's appearence she noticed that she had her head slightly tilted downwards, a dark shade covering her eyes. Her mother continued to walked towards center of stage,where Y/n was. "Mom?" she asked. Whats happening?"

Y/n's mother lifted her head, now standing up straight like she always did. She revealed her eyes. Y/n gasped as the frightening sight. "M..Mom? Your eyes.." She pointed out softly. She watch as the deep red blood drooled out of her mother's eyes. Y/n's mother smiled as she stroked her daughters hair. "You look lovely,Dear. That dress is just ravishing."

Y/n cocked a brow as she looked down and saw that she was wearing a lavender dress, with white heels. She looked at her mother once more,noticing that she was facing the crowd. "Mom.. I want go home." Y/n stated as she gripped the beautiful satin fabric. 

"Don't be silly now,Sweetie. Mommy just wants you to play a couple of songs for the party,okay?"

The whispers and mumbles gotten louder. Y/n looked out to the crowd and saw everyone in the most finest outfits. Y/n could feel the beat of her heart banging against her ribs. She then saw another spotlight was pointed at the piano, where a faceless male sat as his hands laid gently on the keys. Y/n also noticed that two instruments next to the man. One was a violin and the other was an electric guitar. Y/n walked over to the instruments and stared at them. Her hands shaking... Lip quivering. She slowly reached for the guitar but before she could even land a single touch on the strings, her hand was harshly snatched by the faceless man. Y/n could feel the hairs on her arm jolting up at the contact. She then quickly ripped her hand away form his and grabbed the violin,placing it on her shoulder as she held the stick in her left hand. She took her last glance at her mother who nodded at her with an approving smile and looked at the crowd. The whispers and mumbled were silent all of sudden. "Thank you for coming tonight. It is such an honor to host this wonderful event for the new opening of this company! And as for your entertainment for tonight, I present you my daughter. Who I may add is a wonderful violinist for her age. I hope you enjoy,thank you." Y/n's mother announced as she disappeared offstage. Y/n could barely see the crowd but enough to see that they were all faceless like the male pianist.

Y/n took a shaky breath as she applied her fingers on the string along with her stick, resting her chin upon the instument. She then began to glide the stick across the strings, producing a rather pleasing sound. Right when she stopped,the piano began to play. Joining in with the playing keys,Y/n closed her eyes as she felt the music almost flowing through her veins. Each note she hit was the definition of elegance, passion! She could hear the faceless crowd gasp in amazement. The thrive began to build, and she played a few fast chords and slowed down a bit. Building a climax with the sound of her violin. But not only Y/n was pleasing the audience with her sound, but the picture that she as creating, the story that she we was trying to give to the people. 

A tear began to slid down her cheek as she played. Why do I put myself though this?,Y/n thought. As soon the piano died down,Y/n lightly plucked the strings on her violin and glided the stick once again,finally finishing. Claps and cheers were heard, and Y/n just stood there as she hung her head low. Tears were pouring out of her eyes, staining the wooden stage. As each tears that fell, it seemed like the crowd's were getting louder almost as if it they were encouraging it. Y/n dropped instrument and dropped to her knees as she covered her face with her hands, still sobbing.

As her sobs got louder,she didn't even notice that the crowd was gone. It wasn't until she heard a deep chuckle she lifted her head up form her hands and saw everything around her pitch black. The only that stood out was her complete change in outfit; which was a white hoodie, white shorts, and white shoes, and the pair of aquamarine but eyes right before her. No body what so so ever, just a pair of luring blue eyes...

Y/n then woke up, jolting up as she could feel the slightly damp and sticky cheeks from the tears that were shed in her sleep. "What the absolute fuck... A nightmare?" She murmured to herself as she place her hand on her beating heart. She looked over at Max who still remained asleep. Y/n took a few deep breathes as she turned her head towards the flaps of the tent. She then took one last look at the sleeping sunshade boy before she slid off her bed. She bent over and grabbed her duffel bag. Slowly unzipping the zippers, she pulled out a black leather case from the bottom of the bag. Y/n unclipped the clips of the case to reveal her violin and stick in perfect condition. The sights of the objects brought painful memories and emotions that she couldn't bare. She hurriedly closed the case and placed it back in her duffel bag.

Y/n exited out of the tent and walked her way towards to docks, where she sat on the edge as her feet dangled. Looking out to the lake she notice the sky shifting colors with one another. Slowly the sun began to rise. Y/n felt the cool breeze against her skin, bringing a weary smile upon her lips. She then looked down at her reflection rippling though the gently waves and bit her bottom quivering lip. She turned her away from the lake and let the tears fall. She couldn't hold it back anymore... that dream... her mother..everything. Y/n got up as the tears still trickled down her face. She turned herself around as she looked at the campsite. She took a deep breathe and held it as she held out her arms and let herself fall into the lake. 

As the water engulfed her,she opened her eyes to see the bright rays of sun light faintly shooting through the deep blue water. Y/n brought her legs close to her chest as she wrapped her arms around them. Y/n then shut her eyes and began to scream. Bubbles and vibrations left her mouth. "FUCK!" She shouted. Quickly shutting her mouth she began to swim to the surface of the water. Reaching back to the docks,she spit out her water as she walked back to her tent grabbing her duffel bag and headed to the showers.
