Max looked from David to Daniel and blinked rapidly.

"So you must be Max!" Daniel said quietly.

"No im Arnold fucking Schwarzenegger!" Max snapped.

"Language!" David said with a slightly angry tone.

"Oh Davey! He's just playing around." Daniel punched David's shoulder.

Max rolled his eyes and sat down.

"After hearing about what happened to you I thought it would be nice for you two to meet." David said as he sat on the bed.

"But why though?" Max asked folding his arms over his chest.

"I'll let you two talk..." David said and stood up.

"David get over here." Daniel grabbed David's vest.

David smiled gave Daniel a kiss on the cheek and left.

"So... Why are you in here? You don't look sick." Max asked Daniel.

"I drank some bad koolaid." Daniel looked down.

Max nodded slightly.

"David told me about what happened... I'm so sorry Max." Daniel said quietly.

"I don't need your pity." Max said and turned away.

"You know... I had a similar experience when I was younger. My dad stabbed my little sister and almost got me." Daniel said with tears lining his blue eyes.

"What was her name?" Max asked.

Max started to cry and Daniel held him tight.

"You don't need to worry. It'll be alright. David and I won't let her get you." Daniel said into Max's poofy hair.

"You can't promise that..."
