(≧◡≦) / SAMMY'S POV
I was still disappointed . Max had never backed down from a fight before and now, he'd no longer a member of our team, I don't know how I'll tell Commander Chen this .
I was so stressed right now, what has my life become ?
Lucy looked at me , "You okay Sammy...?" .
"Yeah, just a bit stressed, that's all..." I responded .
"Maybe... We shouldn't have been to hard on him..." Lucy suggested .
"I mean, we were kind of rude to him and be-littled his feelings like they didn't matter..." I replied looking down .
"Maybe we should go back..." Lucy added .
"Sure, C'mon Volt ." I expected a little 'squeak' response in return but there was nothing but total silence .
"Volt...?" Lucy and I finally turned to look behind us but to our suprise there was nothing there .
"Oh no, Volt's not here !" Lucy began to panic .
"M-maybe she went back to the HQ without us noticing ??" I tried to calm her down .
"Maybe or she's been kidnapped or even worse, she got lost and probably injured herself !" Lucy argued .
We suddenly heard a loud thud behind us , it was Volt .
"Phew, we thought something happened to you..." Lucy sighed .
Volt just smiled nervously .
"You okay Volt...?" I asked her as she nodded her head in response .
"Volt's hiding something..." I thought to myself as we continued walking .
"It's late..." Lucy said as she looked up at the dark sky .
"Yeah... We can't report back to the Commander now... :/" I replied .
Lucy sighed, "At least maybe it'll give Max an opportunity to change his mind..." .
"Right..." I replied .
[MEANWHILE, WITH MAX AND... *SIGH*, PASCAL 🙄]
(◕ᴗ◕) / MAX'S POV
I checked the time on my phone, it was now 10:59pm, I looked at the mirror, my hair was a mess... I looked.... Tired...? No, more like.... Hopeless....?
I grabbed my phone, it was... Unlocked...? That's strange, I thought I locked it, oh well .
I grabbed my pocket knife, y'know, for safety purposes 🥲 .
I walked out the room into the hallway .
"Where are you going...?" Milley folded his arms as he examined me .
"Ummm, to the HQ...?" I lied .
"Right..." Milley looked away .
"Did I wake you up...?" I tried changing the topic .
"Kind of... Where's mum and dad...?" He queried .
I didn't respond .
"Max, where are they ?" He stared at me .
"I... They... Ummm, went on a date ?" I smiled nervously .
"Uh-huh, I ain't buying it, last time I checked, Mom hated Dad's guts, I pretty sure they didn't just 'go on a date' 🤨" He replied .
"Fine, Mom got arrested, you know why, and Dad's in the hospital 🙂" I said fustrated .
"Oh..." He walked back into his room .
"Real... 😑" I sighed as I went downstairs .
Crystal could be seen on her computer doing something, possibly assignment, not my business .
I walked out the front door and closed it gently . I was nervous ;
What if he tried to hurt or trick me again...?
Maybe I shouldn't go...
What if... he's telling the truth...?
...
I'm going, but if he tries anything, I'll stab him without warning...
I passed the back of my house into the woods .
I brought about my phone📱 and began to text you know who...
(Max)
[I'm outside...]
(Pascal)
[Oh, be right there, I need to take care of something...]
(Max)
[Let me guess, you're in trouble for something you didn't do as usual...]
(Pascal)
[Yes... It sucks... They always blame everything on me... They never take responsibility for anything :( ...]
(Max)
[Oh, sorry, I know how it feels, trust me, hopefully things get better for you...]
(Pascal)
[I hope so, anyways, gtg...]
(Max)
[Alr.]
I sighed . I didn't really feel anything at this point, everyone with their own problems I guess .
I leaned on a nearby tree, since there was nothing else to do, I'll check my phone .
Huh ? A text message from (Y/N), strange...
(Y/N)
[💀💀💀]
(Max)
[Huh ?]
(Y/N)
[What have you done !?]
(Max)
[I'm confused ?]
(Y/N)
[You're dating someone who ruined your reputation, harms you and your friends !?]
(Max)
[ ? ]
(Y/N)
[Pascal !]
(Max)
[ 😳 How did you even know !??!!]
(Y/N)
[Bruh, I know everything that happens in this story, I'm the literal reader, I can even see your POVs 😑]
(Max)
[Oh... That explains alot actually...]
(Y/N)
[Don't go ! Pascal is only using you... :( ]
(Max)
[How are you so sure...?]
(Y/N)
[D: !]
(Max)
[What ?]
(Y/N)
[I can't believe you right now...]
(Max)
[🥺👉👈, 😔👉👈... But he's my friend ...]
(Y/N)
[You're friends with the Miniforce's main enemy, the person that literally traumatized you and your friends, the person who put your loved-ones in danger and would do anything in his power to put you through hell if you made a mistake, the person who would hit and yell at you, the person who used you and lied to you, the person who broke you, the person that made you a disgrace in the eyes of others... :/ ]
(Max)
[The person who helped me when I felt stressed, the person who I'd cry to anytime I felt sad...?]
(Y/N)
[Max, you probably don't realize it but, you're not in love, you're in a trauma bond, and I'll be willing to help you if you let me... and besides, what will you Dad and friends think...?]
(Max)
[Don't you EVER mention my dad again, and no, I won't be needing your help... :\ ]
(Y/N)
[I give up, you're on your own now...]
I sighed .
Maybe (Y/N) was right...
MEANWHILE, WITH ???
"So, you remember the plan...?"
"Yes..."
"Do not spare him, or we'll have extra work to do..."
"Of course, I'll show no mercy... I've done it before, and I'll glady do it again..."
"I trust you..."
"I can't believe he actually thinks I'll change, he so stupid..."
"I know right, little does he know, we have plans for him and his friends..."
"Just you wait Miniforce, we're coming for you..."
MEANWHILE, WITH MAX
(｡◕ˇ_ˇ◕｡)/MAX'S POV
(Max)
[?]
(Pascal)
[Sorry for keeping you waiting... :)]
(Max)
[It's okay👌]
(Pascal)
[I'm on my way...]
(Max)
[Alr... Just hurry... I have things to do ;-;]
(Pascal)
[k...]
I put my phone back in my pocket and snapped the area, I wondered what happened to dad... I was selfish of me to not go see him... I let my friends down... again...
I could hear foot-steps, I looked around and...
"Max..."
"Pascal..."
