A/N: WARNING- CHILD ABUSE MENTIONS AND NEGLECT


Max POV:

I cannot believe this. No one cares? No one is looking for me? Not even David is giving two shits about me right now. I guess it serves me right for the way I treat him. But this really hurts. What about Nikki? Neil?? Do they give any shits? Do they even care? Or were we just...temporary friends...?

While being lost in my crippling thoughts, David was chatting it up with Daniel. About his fucking stain.

"Let's get Max out of here and you some new clothes, Daniel." David smiles and starts walking towards me.

"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!" I scream at the top of my lungs, trying to at least reach David's tiny ass brain. "DON'T TOUCH ME!! YOUR PUNY BRAIN OBVIOUSLY CAN'T HANDLE THE FACT THAT DANIEL IS THE ONE WHO KIDNAPPED ME!!! IF YOU WANT TO FUCKING BELIEVE THIS ASSHOLE OVER ME THEN JUST FORGET IT!! I'LL GET OUT MYSELF!!" I didn't know at the time, but tears had just started streaming down my face. I was used to it. This situation wasn't new to me. My parents always treated me like this. They'd lock me in my "room." And by "room," I mean a concrete floor with blank walls and a blanket. I learned to stop counting the days. It could have been hours, days, months. I just kinda got used to it.

flashback----

"MAXWELL BENJAMIN COOPER." I heard my mom calling from the living room. The very sound of her voice booming through the halls sent shivers down my spine. I lay there shaking, hiding from whatever consequence I was about to bear for something I didn't even do.

"GET THE FUCK IN THIS LIVING ROOM RIGHT NOW." Deciding stupidly to not be in any more trouble for god-knows-what, I come out and sulk my way to the living room.

As soon as I get in there, a large hand strikes my face and I hit the ground. I stay down, realizing what's coming. Someone picks me up by my hoodie and throws me into that cold, unforgiving room.

"What did I do!? Please!! Mommy!! What did I do? I'm sorry!! Please, mommy, I'm so hungry!! Mommy!!!" My voice eventually got hoarse from screaming and crying and begging, so I give up and lay on the hard concrete floor with nothing but questions.

"What did I do wrong?"

"When did I mess up?"

"Why am I always a problem?"

"Where do I belong, anyway?"

"How did I end up being a mistake?"

-end flashback-

David stared at me wide-eyed and I could tell he could see through it and what I've gone through. I didn't care. He didn't listen. I hate him.

"Max, I-"

"NO DAVID!! JUST DONT!! YOU DONT LISTEN TO ANYONE. ALL YOU EVER SEE IS SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS!! FUCKING WAKE UP!!" At this point Daniel was fuming and he almost looked conflicted.

"Davey...do you really think I would do this to you?" He looks at David with "puppy eyes." Or at least he tried to. I couldnt tell.

David POV

Oh no. Who do I believe...Max is always trying to cause trouble but look at him. He's crying..he never lets anyone see him cry...

I decide I should take Max's side. I look at Daniel with a skeptical face. "We will talk about this later...I need to talk to Max. Can you give us a moment?" I kneel down next to the crying boy as Daniel huffs and walks out.

"Max...I'm sorry...I know you hate me...and I know Daniel is bad. I know about this world..I'm not completely in the dark. I've gone through what youve gone through. I have seen the cuts and the scars on your arms..I dont want you to be hurt because of something a grown adult did to you...if you never want to talk to me again, I understand..." I know what Max needs more than anything. All he really wanted was a family. He wasnt given that so easily like other people were.

Max doesnt respond to me, and I decide to pick him up and take him back to the camp.

"Oh my god, David! What happened to Max?!" She looks at Max, now sleeping, with sympathetic eyes.

"I think I know who did this..." I nod, probably realizing it sooner. No one would do this to Max, not even Nurf. He knows his bounderies.

Daniel returns, everyone seeing his "jam stain." Everyone immediatly sighs and looks at David. David, of course, finally gets the bullshit out of his head and knows what he has to do. "Daniel, I'm afraid that we have to let you go again. You're just not fit for this job."

Daniel cracked his neck to the side. "Oh man. That's too bad! Cuz I was just thinking we could all settle down by the fire...talk for a bit..and- YEET IM TAKING MAX AGAIN SUCK IT!" He snatches Max and Max just kinda sighs. David looks at where Max was previously, in his arms. Gwen suddenly screamed "DAVID YOU ASSHOLE GO GET HIM! KIDS GO HELP YOUR PLATONIC DAD." She runs back inside, beginning to get dressed in her uniform and take the green face mask off.

David and the other campers start hightailing Daniel and Max. Daniel laughs loudly as he runs "YOU'RE ALL STUPID!!" Daniel considered himself lucky for finding such a retarded camp. David looked at Nerris, who seemed overly battle ready. He smirked and picked Nerris up. "NERRIS, I NEED YOU TO POINT YOUR STICK THING AT DANIEL WHEN  I THROW YOU- DON't HIT MAX THOUGH!!" He yells and Nerris' eyes go wide. "NERRIS THE CUTE WILL NOT- AAAAAA" before she could even finish the sentence, she was flying through the air and peircing Daniels back with a blunt stick. Daniel fell forward, causing Max to recieve more injury from sliding literally face first in the dirt. David sighs and catches up, kneeling down in front of Max. "Max, you good?" Max huffs and stands up, fluffing up his hair and wiping his blue hoodie off. "No thanks to you, shitbag!" David took thag as a yes.

Sooner than later, a few police cars drove in and picked Daniel up, dragging him into the cars and driving off. David eventually sighed with relief and looked at Max. "Let's go home." He smiled and brought all the campers back to their respective tents and sat back in the mess hall. He smiled with victory and looked forward in a thinky way. "Now that David is gone for a while, let's see how long these idiots take to find out." He laughs maniacally for a solid three minutes.

Gwen enters with a cup of coffee. "David why are you laughing like that?" David turns and stops "Um...because?" Gwen shrugged because she knows David. Or is it Daniel? You figure it out.
