Max was last. Sam walked up and held Him for a long time. Finally, she whispered in Max's ear. She said a lot of wonderful things about how it was okay that he wasn't ready last night and how she would miss him and how she wanted Max to take care of himself while she was gone.

'You're my best friend,' was all he could say in return.

She smiled and kissed Max's cheek, and it was like for a moment, the bad part of last night disappeared. But it still felt like a goodbye rather than a 'see ya.' The thing was, Max didn't cry. He didn't know what he felt.

Finally, Sam climbed into her pickup, and Patrick started it up. And a great song was playing. soon the car move off he watched the car till the car was far gone from his sights.

Max sighed as he place his hands into his pockets, he was lost without Sam at his side. He and Sam been friends since middles school she was there for him when he needed her the most and help him through the tough times he had at home.

Max turn sharply on his heels and started to head home looking at the wet ground as he walked home, around this time his mom was the only one home his father won't be home till later tonight. Once he was on his door steps Max pick up the newspaper then headed inside "Max, is that you?" "yes mom" "dinner will be ready around nine" "okay mom"he toss over his shoulder then heads to his room.

Max plop the newspaper onto his nightstand then plop down into his office chair then started working on his home work, Max sighed all his life he had a simple way of living but now Sam is gone and he don't know where to go when he needs to -thump- Max pull himself out his thoughts and gotten up out his chair he can hear a muffle yelling.

Max open the door and heads down stairs he can hear his mother crying, Max never understand why his mom would stay with his father all he do is get drunk then come home angry and nothing seem to be good enough for his father. Max found his mother who was covering her face he cross the threshold "mom?"he said softly he watch as he mother wince the sniffle "i-it's okay go back to your room" "did he hit you again!?" "just go to your room Max"

"MAX!" Max jolt slightly at his father's booming voice then whip around to be knock down from a swift smack,Max slowly gotten off the ground. He took this as a time to go. Max wheel around his dad who try to grab a hold of him but miss "Max get your ass back here!" his father yelled,Max headed out the front door. Max stop running his heart is beating hard as he look over his shoulder at his mother voice.

Max could not recall all that went down after he look back there was a loud sounds then pain and bright lights, it was dark. Max was trying to understand what happen as he waited for the high pitch whine to stop in his ears. he slowly try to move his left arm, Max was glad to feel he can move.

Slowly sound kick back in he hear the soft birds then soft wind blowing through the trees with the other life forms wondering about the forest, Max slowly open his eyes the raise his head lost and confused Max scan the thick brush of woods he was in.

'where...am I' he thought to himself then slowly try to get up but fell over with a soft thud he slowly rolls over and gaze on the fawn legs that was part of him, Max took a moment before he freak a bit.

After a short while of fearing his own legs and body Max try getting up, and walking about. Max legs wobble soon he stumble and fell over a few times, slowly Max started to take steps 'okay...Okay...' he thought as He work with fours legs 'not so bad..' Max stop at the sight of two large carve stones slowly he walk to them.
