What's The Point

Part 2~David

Max's POV
I had made it to camp, and it was empty, I expected that though. Camp just ended so no one would be her for a while, maybe not till next year. I was sleeping in the Mess Hall, and I had got lucky, they left food in the pantry! So right now, I was coloring and eating some crackers. While I was coloring I heard what sounded like a car door shut, I just shrug it off and think it's just the wind, and continue to color.

David's POV
I had come to camp to do my monthly check on it! Hopefully now I'll get my Consoler of the Year award! As I'm walking around I hear nose in the mess hall, thinking it's just some wild life, I walk in there. To my surprise, I see a kid on the ground, coloring and eating crackers. "Hello Kid, what are you doing here, shouldn't you be home?" They stop coloring, drop their crayon, and slowly look up at me. Than I'm tackled by a hug. "DAVID!" Wait a gosh darn minute, is that? "MAX!" I hug back, I knew he liked camp! But wait a minute..."Maxxxx, what are you doing here, shouldn't you be at home with your parents? They're probably worried sick!" All a sudden he gets out of the hug and backs up. "I'm not going back." Why wouldn't a kid want to go back home? I mean I know how great Camp Campbell is, but that doesn't give a kid the right to run away from home just to be here! "Max, buddy, you have to go back home, your parents are probably worried sick kiddo." "David, I'm 100% sure they're not. My parents don't care about me, and they never will! They're probably throwing a party in celebration of me leaving." Why does he think his parents don't love and care about him? Than I see the worst thing ever, Max happened to not have his sweatshirt on this one time, and I see why he never takes it off, there are perfect cuts all over his arm. I bring him into another hug. "David! What are you doing?" He asks, while trying to push me away. "Pack your bag back up, we're going back to my house Max." I say and start to help him grab his stuff. "Why?" I turn around and look at him, he has tears in his eyes, and he's rubbing his arm, than he realizes he doesn't have his sweatshirt on, and runs to grab it and put it on. I act like I didn't see his arms and play his game. "I'm fine David, I've been living here for the past two day, fine." He says putting on his tuff act. "Because, I care about you and want you to be ok, so if you don't want to go home, you're coming to my home!" I say putting my happy face on, when inside, I'm really worried about Max. "Whatever, I'll get my stuff." He says as he picks up his bear and bag.

Max's POV
Why was David trying to take me home? What's the point? I'm just going to ruin his life, like I ruin everyone's life when they try to care and be friends with me. I slowly start walking to David's car, than I stop. What if he's actually trying to take me home? What if he's not actually going to take me to his house and he's actually trying to bring me back to that hell, I once called home. With that thought, and knowing I have everything important, I sprint into the forest, and I'm really good at climbing trees, so I can hide from David! I faintly hear David scream my name and I climb the tallest tree. "Max! MAXXXXX!" I hear him scream, and to my luck, he just happens to look up in the tree I'm in. I start to jump from tree to tree. Don't ask why I'm so good at this. I still hear David trying to keep up with me. So what I do is jump to a tree on the side and start going the opposite way. And it worked, I lost him! And with that I climb down the tree and start to make my way to the lake, I'll just use the boat they left to row over to spooky island. As I'm walking I hear faint walking but it sounds slow, and I lost David like 10 minutes ago, so it's probably just wild life.

^few minutes later^

I was like, a mile away from the lack when I hear David. Damn he found me. I start to run again, and make it to the boat! But as soon as I get in, David grabs my hood! Damn this hoodie and David's long arms! "Max! I've been looking for you! Why'd you run off?" "Let me go! I don't want to go back home!" I say while trying to get out of his grip. "I wasn't going to take you home! I said that!" I can't trust him, I can't trust anyone! What if he turns out like parents, than camp can't be a get away for me! "Just let me stay here David!" I say, but I've stop trying to get away from him, I'm too tired out. "Max, why do you want to live alone here in the woods?" "Because they, my parents, won't find me out here!" I start to raise my voice, doesn't he understand that? I'm making it very clear I don't want to go home. "Max, why don't you want to go home?" I froze, and tried to think of a good lie. "And don't lie to me Maxwell." I tense up and held up my arms in defense. David gave me a strange look, than looked like reality hit him in the face. He looked shocked, than angry, than worried. I just sat there, ready for him to smack me or something bad to happen. But it never came...he just brought me into a hug. "Don't worry, I won't send you back there, I promise." And with that, I hug him back and start to let all the tears I've been holding in out. "Shh, Max it's going to be ok, I'll take good care of you, and everything will get better, ok?" I just nod my head, and just let him pick me up and bring me to his car, to go to my new home. I end up falling asleep on our way back to the car, David's warmth is comforting.

David's POV
On our way to the car, max fell asleep in my arms. This poor kid, he's only ten. What kind of monster would beat a little 10 year old? From this day forth, I promise to protect him, and make sure he is always safe. On our way I call Qwen, my girlfriend and roommate, and tell her what happened. She threatened to beat up his parents, I just laughed and told her it was fine, and that I was bringing Max home to live with us. I heard her celebrate before coming back to the phone to say whatever, classic Qwen. I tell her I love her and hang up the phone. I can't wait to raise Max!

A.N.~ So I wrote this chapter in math class because today was basically a study hall, and now everyone wants to read this trashy book, but the jokes on them, they dont know my username or anything, so ha! And most of them don't even have the app. So I win, and no one can make fun of me for writing fanfic. Bye~
