What's The Point

Part 3~ New Home

Qwen's POV
Right at this moment, I'm running around the house, cleaning before Max gets here. I may have not acted like it, but I always saw myself as Max's mother figure, and I could tell he feels the same way. So I was running around cleaning, because I want him to feel comfortable after the shit he had to go though with his so called "parents". I also ordered a pizza, because I remember that one night when me and David first got the impression that Max didn't have a good home life. He felt a lot better after pizza, and he thinks I didn't see, but I saw him also hug David that day, so I know he cares about me and David. All of a sudden I got a call from David again. "Hello~" "Hey Qwen, what do you do when someone's having a so called night terror?" "Why David?" "Umm ok, so we're like 5 minutes away from the house, and Max just started screaming, but he's obviously still asleep, so I pulled over, to call you and see what to do?" "Stay right there, I'm walking to the car!" And with that I hang up and get my shoes, than run out the door.

^Once Qwen gets to the car^

I had waken up Max, and he clang to me. I was in the back seat with him, and he was sleeping again, but this time he was hugging me, and wouldn't let go. So I just let him sleep and got in the back with him. When we get home, Max still won't let go of me, but when he hears David's voice, he wakes up enough to tell us, he'd rather be with David. Well that's not exactly what he said, he actually said, "David, need David." And made graby hands at David. David smiled, and toke him from my arms. "Hey babe, I'm going to go up and prepare the guest room, even though we'll most likely not need it, he clings to people when he gets tired. He used to do it to me at camp." I say, remembering the night he did do it, and giggled slightly. He just nods his head and walks over to the coach with Max still in his arms. And with that note, I make me way upstairs to make his bed.

David's POV
Qwen went upstairs to make Max's bed, but I'm hoping we won't need it for a while. I want to be that person in Max's life that represents his father. I slowly start to nod off, soon falling asleep.

^Few hours later, everyone's awake, and pizza just showed up^

Max's POV
I was super excited! I haven't had pizza sense that one night at camp. I sat down, and saw something even better. THERE WAS ROOT BEER! David pores me a cup and gets me two slices of pizza. I start to dig in, realizing how hungry I am for really food, I haven't really eaten anything this past month or so. But I don't want to talk about it, so I'm just going to eat. As I'm eating I hear a camera noise. I look up and start to feel embarrassed and angry, they had taken a picture of me while I was eating! "Family moments!" David said, and grabbed the camera and ran. "Camp man! Get back here with that camera!" I say and start to run towards him, and to my luck, he puts it above his head. I'm like 10 feet shorter than him! This is totally unfair! "Cheater! Qwennnnnnn!!! David's cheatingggggggg!" "Quick, David toss me the camera!" "What!? Qwen! You're suppose to be on my side here!" I say running at her now. But the good thing is, I get her to the ground, get the camera, and delete the picture. "Ha! Jokes on you two! I deleted it!" I say, folding my arms over my chest, signifying I won. "Oh did you now?" I hear David say. I turn around and see him with paper copies of the picture! Damn he got to the printer before I could get the camera. "Get rid of it David!" I say trying to grab the picture. "Aww, but why Max?" "Two reasons, One:I look stupid in that picture, and Two:I don't like my picture being taken, so get rid of it!" I say, but all he does is run a way to probably get a frame, what's the point? He's going to hang it, and I'll be forced to look at that up ugly face everyday. I already avoid mirrors! And with that thought I stomp my way up stairs. And than slam my door and go sit on my bed, and end up falling asleep.

Qwen's POV
Max stood there for a minute just zoned out, and when I went up to him to ask if he was ok, he shock his head and stomped his way up the stairs and slammed his door shut. Why did he feel so strongly about the thought of his picture on the wall? Was David not telling me everything? I walk upstairs and find David putting the picture of Max on his side of the bed. "Hey David, was there something about Max you're not telling me?" He suddenly jumps not knowing I was there, and turns around rubbing his neck, like he's hiding something. "N-no Qwen! Of course n-not, why would I not telling you something about M-Max?" Oh her definitely did something wrong, or he's hiding something. "David, can you tell me why, Max stomped his way upstairs, and slammed his door at the thought of his picture being on the wall?" I ask, starting to get more pissed about something that's worrying me. "U-uhh...I-I..."

David's POV
Gosh darn heck, I hate it when she puts me in these situations! "OK I AM HIDING SOMETHING!" "Tell me now David!" Oh no, scary voice! "Ok,so whenIgotthereIfound him,andIrealizedhedidn't havehissweatshirtonandI thinkMaxhasdepression, becausetherewerecutson hisarmsthelookedwayto
perfecttobefromtreebranchesoranythinglikethat! (Ok, so when I got there I found him, and I realized he didn't have his sweatshirt on and I think Max has depression, because there were cuts on his arms the looked way to perfect to be from tree branches or anything like that!) Qwen looks like she about to slap me, but to my surprise, she runs out the room. I run after her, wondering what she's doing. Than she runs into Max's bedroom.

Max's POV
I was rudely awakened by Qwen shaking me awake. "Yes Qwen, what would you like?" "Let me see your arms, take your hoodie off Max." She has her stern voice on, oh god what do I do? "U-umm, I promise I will, just, uhh, let me go pee first!" I than run out the room and straight to the bathroom. I lock the door, and plan to stay here for the rest of the night. "Hey, Max, kiddo, want to come out of there, Qwen's very worried about you bud." I hear David say, I shake my head even though he can't see me. "No, I think I'm ok in here, can you tell Qwen that for me Davey?" I say looking around the bathroom, so an escape out of here. Perfect I see a window, "Thanks David, Qwen, you've been good help." And with that I open the window and jump out, and start to run to the streets. But to my luck, Qwen's there, waiting. So I turn the other way, towards the forest! And than David pops up! There's only one other way. I start running to my right. "Shit! He's smart." I hear Qwen say, I snicker and keep running.

^After a lot of running^

Some how, I've made my way back to camp. I shug and head to the mess hall, this is where I shall sleep until David comes for his monthly check thingy he does. So with that I lay down and sleep.

^In the morning^

I wake up and stretch. I feel something soft under me. I look around, and see my room. Fuck, witch pare of parents found me? "Gooood morning Max!" Well at least theses ones aren't abusive ass holes. I make my run for the bathroom again, but get stopped by Qwen. "Max, can you please just take you hoodie off?" "NO! It's cold, I'm cold, brrr it's sure is cold in here!" I say, trying to think of an excuse. "Max, you're sweating." I look around for another excuse, when all of a sudden I'm lifted into the air, and they take my sweatshirt off.

Fuck.

A.N.~ Well we'll find out more in the next chapter! Also, what I'm trying to do in every chapter is to but "What's the point" because it's the title, and it makes sense in every chapter, because of Max's conditions. So that's that, and I'm just write now, so Bye~
