David's POV

After Max has had woken up and asked me if he could not go to camp for the day. I gave him a warm smile and said "Sure Max." I don't know what he would be thinking! Oh course he wouldn't go to camp, kid just woke up after passing out,and I doubt he would likes camp so much that he so desperately wants to go back. Maybe his friends, no, You know what, I'm not even gonna think out it anymore. I should be worry more about Max's health then every little thing he says."Hey Max-"before i could finish my sentence,I heard a hushed "your my mr.honeynuts..."he gave a small smile. OH.MY.CAMBELL! Max I- Im getting ahead of myself again, oh hooey. I can't tell what he's talking about, all I know is that Mr.Honeynuts is Max's stuffed bear. No matter what it still sounded adorable.

I decided that I cant just stay in this cabin forever , so I'm just gonna take a quick walk and see what's going on with Gwen.

~David eventually leaves the cabin~
"Hey Gwen" I say,waving my hand to her. " How's the Campers?" " Well...um...space kid didn't drown...". Oh Gwen,lying isn't right.I chuckle "Gwenn! Tell me the truth!",I puff out my cheeks and blush a little."Kidding,kidding.Chill."I notice Gwen's face being tinted with a touch of pink. Naw (I think I'm blushing too,I hope she doesn't notice). "Surprisingly,everything is fine. Everyone is alive and as heathy they possibly can be here.They only thing I can't control is Nikki drinking that nasty oil/swamp "(GET OUT OF MY SWAMP) These children,they are gonna be the death of me.

"Well,You did what you could! And that's great!" "mhm.so much energy" mumbled Gwen , as she flipped to the next page in her magazine. "How's Max? The other little hellbenders were asking for him"Gwen said,all attention still on the holy magazine. "Oh well, he's doing grrrreat! He did ask to stay in the cabin so I let him." David's voice deflated in some parts of the sentence, but like a balloon being blown up again, he went right back to his normal, cheery self. Gwen finally looked up from her magazine and spoke with concern "David,I've known you for a while now and I can tell your lying. You can hardly stand saying an actually lie, but it's like second nature for you to hide your emotions. So just tell me already." David could feel the heat slowly creep up to his face from each word she spoke.He sat down on the log next to Gwen and vented to her about his thoughts. "...I'm sorry. I just-when Max was running away and I found him, I saw something very concerning.He-He was scared. When I reached out my hand to lead him back, he flinched hardly and started panting even more. It was unnatural,Gwen. I-I feel as if...there is something we don't know.A piece of the puzzle that is the reason for Max's actions. I get panic and being frightened ,but, that level isn't ok.A-and I want to help him. I'd just wish he would just open up, let me in,I could help him be better.Even if everything is fine and normally and Max is just being a rude kid,which I doubt cause of parents day,at least he knows I'm trying.That I'm trying to help,I want us to understand each other. He-I-Gwen-um-max...".
