You know, last time I listened to one of you guys I was wrong. Fool me twice and all that… Lemme just ask the boy myself.
@dedmaxsearchhistory? You hearing this? *gestures upward*
P-.. my friend and i were just talking.. i didn’t think we’d ever actually do any of it… *his voice cracks a few times*
*kneels in front of him* Okay… so what happened to make you actually do it?
*he glanced at Carlos* i-i guess it was seeing him s-so happy.. i didn’t want to upset him more then i already ha-have…
He was happy to rob stores and ride in a car that you legally can’t drive? He was happy to pull you into getting in trouble?
Max… that doesn’t sound like a ‘friend’ sort of thing.
he was just… *he grows quiet and looks back tot he ground, Carlos had a point but Max loved Pure…* i-.. i don’t care..
But you do. You tried to hide it from me, so you care, don’t you?
*he fights back more tears* i- i don’t know..!
Take some more deep breaths, Max. *reaches into his pocket for his pack of tissues and offers one* Here…
*he tries taking deeper breaths, taking a tissue and holding it tightly* i-i’m sorry..
I know, Max. I know you are. Listen… your friend isn’t a good influence. You did bad stuff for them and you could have hurt people driving that car. And you had been doing so well staying away from alcohol. I understand though that, in that regard, it’s tough to get clean and people slip up sometimes. I’m not judging you, I promise.
