PNAT | Late night (Maxaac)

Late surprise.

It was a dark evening. Max was sitting in his room on his own laying on his bed. All he was doing was staring up at the ceiling. Not much really happened in Mayview anymore as he got used to the weird stuff that happened such as the spirits, the strange school routines, him actually living in a store, all that didn't bother him anymore as he grew up to except what came to him. He reminded himself of when he first came to Mayview when he was 12 and being so confused about everything. Man, being 15 can really change a person's thinking in a lot of ways.

Soon, there was a knock at the front door of the shop. The place had only just closed up for the day. Max's father went to go check who would be here at this time of the day. It was a little hard to see in the dark but he could just make out the spiked up ginger hair and bright blue eyes at the door. Max's father knew it was his best friend Isaac. He didn't want to be rude so he only opened the door to see what Isaac wanted. "Heyyyyyy..... you?" The man child said to him. He was never good at names. "Hi, Uh I was only wondering this but is Max home?" Isaac asked him.  "Oh! Yes he is as a matter of fact." Isaac started to smile a little. "Could I see him?" As soon as he said that, the father called out, "Max! One of your friends is here! Do you want to talk to him?" 

Max barely heard him but he could make out what he said. It was probably Isabel again wanting to fight some spirit. He groaned as he went downstairs anyway. He didn't see who it was his dad was in the way. Isaac reached his head across from his dad's shoulder. He looked quite happy to see him. "Oh- Hey dude!" Max said to him. He was a little confused as to why Isaac was both this happy and at his place in this time of the night. "Hello, Maxwell!" Isaac responded while waving. Max groaned at just hearing ''Maxwell' instead of his nickname. "Just max." he said quietly. He realised he slightly went off track a little. "Can I ask, why are you here so late? It's 10:23 dude."
"Well I wanted to show you something really cool that I thought you may like." Isaac responded calmly. "Yeah but at THIS time?!" Max said still very confused. Isaac didn't say anything but Max could tell that he was really serious about this that he wanted to see. Max just looked at his dad but without saying anything Max's dad just nodded as a sign that it was ok. He turned back to Isaac with a sigh. "I guess I can go." Max said to him. Isaac smiled again in excitement. "Great! I promise that you will like it!" Isaac responded grabbing Max's hand for him to follow in the dark. Max got slightly surprised at this. He wasn't expecting this to be so sudden. He felt... warm and safe. He didn't know what this meant but he just shrugged it off as nothing. As soon as the two went out the door, Max could hear his dad yell out "Don't be out too late! I don't want you to be abducted by aliens or something!" "No promises!" Max called back as him and Isaac walked off in the night.
