Max's POV
Schools a bust. The teacher yelled at me for talking. Which I wasn't.
Right now? Oh right now I'm on top of a building looking over San Diego. I'm just stressed and someone who ever they are thought it was a good idea to shut down the gym for the day. Today of all days. I skipped final period.
Alex got all day detention for sticking up for me. He's a sweet kid. Intimidating but sweet. He has blue hair and is 5'11
He's nice though.
I also have a giant crush on him. YEA. I may be tough but I'm not as tough as I act. I like him and he's so nice. I should be talking to him.
But here I am sitting on the top of the hospital at 2:35am over San Diego. It's dark. But the lights are bright.
It's calming.
No one knows where I am.
I left school about 12 hours ago.
Only one person knows where I am. Austin.
He will tell them if I don't go home by 5am. I just wish I could float away sometimes. Vanish into nowhere. "Where no one could find me." I mumble. I hear someone behind me. "Maybe someone should find you." I sigh. "Well haven't seen you in a while." I say looking back at him. He smiles sitting next to me.
"I'm always here Max." I sigh. "But jayy you left." He looks down. "I'm sorry Max. Dahvie and me took a break and I just left." I look down when he looks at me. "I'm really sorry Max." I hug his side. "I better go before Austin tells them where I am." He nods hugging me one more time. I jump off and run down the stairs. It's actually really hard to sneak in the hospital but sneaking out is easy. I start walking home and see it's 4:55. Oh no. I'm still like four blocks away. I grab my skateboard out of my backpack and start going super fast. I get there at 5:00. I open the door and fall on the floor cause I feel like I'm going to pass out. Someone picks me up. "It's okay bud." Jaime. I close my eyes. I feel him carry me to my room. "Get some rest bud you have to get up in like a hour." I nod closing my eyes.
•a hour later•
I open my eyes feeling terrible. Well I got like twenty minutes of sleep. I know you think an hour but I couldn't sleep. My ribs hurt a lot. I still get beat up. All the time. I get up going over to my mirror taking my shirt off. Bruises fill my ribs where my tattoo also is. I sigh putting on a falling in reverse shirt and black basketball shorts.
I grab my backpack and look at my face. Of course there are bags under my eyes from sleep deprivation. I sigh and start walking downstairs. I see mike and vic talking. I grab a Red Bull. "Where were you last night?" Vic ask. I start drinking the Red Bull. Well chug it. "I needed some fresh air Dad." He sighs. "For over 12 hours." I nod grabbing a Mountain Dew and drinking that slower. "I have to go." I mutter before walking outside.
A blog of blue hair then a blob of brown hair runs over to me "hey Adam, hey Alex." They both hug me. "School sucks. But I have to go to my school bye." Adam says running to his school. I wave to him and turn to Alex. "So how are you? You kind of ran out in the middle of science." I nod. "I'm good Alex." I kind of feel like today's going to be a really really bad day.
Well 1st-6th period sucked as usual. I got beat up in between but now it's gym. "Today were swimming." I shake my head. I can swim fine but I get nervous in front of people. I'm complicated okay.
Sage a idiot of a guy walks over to me. "Don't you wanna swim Fuentes." I shake my head so he grabs my arms and starts dragging me to the pool. I finally get out of his grip. He and his friends start punching and kicking me. I start coughing up blood.
Sage and his friends are pulled off of me but I start seeing spots.
