Oh. Who are you and why are you talking to me?

//lol chill max//

David:
*calms down* you’re right, you’re right, I’m sorry. So, is there a
specific reason he attempted suicide? Or should I wait for him to tell
me himself…

There is a reason. And yeah, he needs to tell
someone. Though I warned him you might call CPS or something after he’s told
you… because of your job.

David: oh no…

*nods sadly* Yeah… Suffice to say, it’s pretty
bad. He’s going to down-play it, but – as a father myself – I find his
situation unacceptable. But he needs to talk about it so that he can see others’
reactions and understand that it’s not right. *sighs* I’m sorry – this is just
a bunch of stuff to drop on you.

David: he…he thinks it’s okay? He thinks it’s normal?

He’s ten – he doesn’t quite understand yet.
Again, I’m sorry… I get it, you’re a young adult and this is kind of heavy to
drop on you.

*david rushes to the hospital*

*he is waiting outside Max’s room so that when
David arrives he won’t be woken again right away*

David: is he okay?! Oh my god I could never forgive myself if something happened to him! How did this happen anyway?!

He’s fine. He’s able to wake up on his own, I
just told him to take a little nap. *sighs* I didn’t get the chance to
introduce myself. I’m Angela’s father – I’m camped nearby studying the volcano.

David: please, can you tell me how this happened? I need to know if the lake is unsafe so I can decide if I need to close it or not

*sighs again* The lake is fine. But… Max
cannot swim. Don’t let him tell you he can – it’s a lie. You need to watch him
and keep him away from it.

David: oh no! Don’t worry, I will! Wait, what were you guys doing by the lake anyway? Did max fall in?

He… he ran off from me. I came over to see my
daughter – and meet her counselors – and I met him. He… we got to talking, but
we… we somehow got onto some touchy subjects. He’s… having issues. Many issues, I’m afraid. We… we went to
find you because there are things that he wanted to tell you and… he suddenly
ran off and jumped in the lake.

David: ohmygosh! I…I can’t believe I didn’t know…so…he tried to…kill himself? This was a suicide attempt? *david is becoming more frantic*

David, calm down, please. Don’t shout it out
here – Max doesn’t want more people than necessary to know. He doesn’t want anyone to know, but… well, it’s too late
for that.

*max convulses again* so…so cold…

*just rubs his shoulder.* Hang on, bud, they’re
coming. You’ll be fine. *looks at the other kids* Get out of the way so they
can park! Go to the mess hall or something!

Help…what…what was I…thinking…? I…didn’t want…this…I just wanted…it all…to stop…hurting…where’s pres…preston…? I want to…*he coughs violently* say…goodbye…

No no, buddy, you’re not going anywhere. EMTs
are coming to help!

*there was shuffling on the grass and Carlos
looked up to see the EMTs coming for them. They get to work and he tells them
what happened. There were no questions about suicide – no mention. Just work to
help Max and getting him stabilized.*

*max loses consciousness* nnn…

*things finally calmed down. They were at the
hospital. Carlos was sitting in a chair in Max’ room, tired and upset, but
ultimately relieved. This could have been really bad, and it was scary.*

_{^{((up to you if david is there too}}

*max stirs, waking up* I’m…sorry…

*looks up, shocked to hear Max’ voice. Gets up
from his chair and hurries over* Max – Max, hey! Hey, buddy, it’s okay. How are
you feeling?

Awful…I made everyone worry…I…hurt people…I only wanted to…hurt myself…I didn’t think…I didn’t want…*a few tears drip down his cheeks*

Shh… Hey, hey, hey, Max – it’s okay. You’re
safe now. You scared some people yeah, but you’re safe now.

They…probably hate…me…I can’t…do this…it hurts to…to live…

Shh… Max, just relax. Go to sleep. You’ve had
a really bad day. You need to rest, okay?

I…okay…*max closes his eyes and just passes out*

*sighs and can’t help but reach out and pat
the kid’s fluffy hair. He takes out his phone to call David and let him know he
woke up*
