i lowkey based this whole chapter on this song

*play the music nerds I recommend listening to the whole thing it's a pretty good song*

3rd pov oof
When Max arrived home, he instantly collapsed on his bed. Memories of the past filled his mind. 'I wonder if she still remembers me?' He thought.
He plugged in his phone to charge and proceeded to  play some music. He reached for his dEviLs lEttuCe and rolled it into a blUnT.
"I doubt it..." he mumbled to himself.
After a couple hits, his eyes began to water as he realized he lost a girl he cared so much for. She had made him feel happy and yet he didn't make an effort to get her back.
No calls.
No texts.
No emails.
Not even finding her online and stalking her profile
He did nothing.
After (y/n) left his life, he fell back into a sad depressive state.
If he never met her all those years ago he probably wouldn't have been alive.
She was his angel.
Tears fell from the boys eyes and landed on his hoodie. Making the light blue fabric turn to a darker shade.
"Fuck, man. I miss her." He wiped them away with his sleeve. "Why do I miss her this much?" He asked himself.

Max woke up groggy and confused, forgetting what happened last night. He took a whiff of the air, it smelled like weed. 'Must have gotten high I guess...'
*oof does getting high make you forget shit? i wouldn't know*
He took a loooong shower then made breakfast. Running late for work he left the house wearing the same thing as he did yesterday.

"Morning Claire." Max said walking into the break room to clock in. "Oh hey Max! Ready for work today?" The chipper girl responded with the same amount of energy as his old councilor. It was kind of funny, wherever max went he could never escape David.
"Nope, not one bit." He put on his name tag then left to go restock the chips section.
*hehehe*
After a what felt like long day of work, Max headed home. On his way there he received a text from his buddy Neil and being the rebel boyo he is he responded back.

nerd brain

lovable asshole

nerd brain

He thought for a moment before answering.

lovable asshole
eh why not

The boy made a very illegal U-turn and drove to the rural side of town. When Max reached the forest he knew he was getting close.
He couldn't stop thinking about (y/n) .
She was all that filled his mind on the way there. Once he arrived, he could see the flames of the fire illuminating things.
Not enough for him to see their faces but enough to know the figures were people.
Before he got out of the car, he realized something.
"I love (y/n)."

*this chapter did not turn out how I intended it to be so it's kinda eh*
