⚠️Warning; Mentions of toxic relationships, very little though⚠️

🎵Please Don't play the song yet, it'll make the emotions a bit better (and maybe a bit more comical)🎶

//Your POV//

I slowly opened my eyes, and it was hard to see.

I felt a warm presence against me and I heard...a heartbeat?

I looked next to me.

'Oh no..'

With a death grip on my waist, and his chin rested on my forehead, was Max, sleeping.

I felt my heartbeat start to quicken immediately when I noticed that.

It might have also been the fact that he tightened his grip.

I had to wake him up unless I wanted to suffocate *Don't question how if it's on your waist..or do. Freedom of speech*

'Oh geez..Should I though? I mean, what would he be like in the morning? Mad that I woke him? Oh god, Oh god, Oh god,' My muse panicked.

I gently shook him a little bit, making him grunt and tighten even more.

I was certain he was going to break some bone.

"Max, wake up," I spoke up.

After a little more shaking and saying to get up, he finally did.

By that point I could barely breathe.

He slowly woke up and realized where he was, jumping a bit.

"A-Ah, I'm sorry Y/n!" He let go of me.

"It's alright," I shrugged.

"So, how did you sleep?" He asked me.

"Pretty good. You?"

"Fine, I guess."

We just sat there for a moment.

"Actually, I had a dream and you-"

"Good Morning Y/n! I was wondering if you can help me...find...Max," David slowly stopped talking when he saw me and Max together in my cot.

David slowly walked away.

Everything was silent, until I started to laugh.

Max couldn't help himself and started laughing too.

He looked so happy, and...cute??

'No..not again..'

"Am I that nice looking?" Max asked, noticing me staring at him.

"N-No! I mean, Yes! Uhhh...forget that I said anything," I stammered.

"That's alright," He smiled and rubbed my head, messing up my hair on purpose.

I pouted and puckered my lips.

"I ain't a dog, dummy."

"More like a kitty," Max chuckled.

"Really bitch? I'll fight you," I pointed at him.

"Pikeman was right about one thing," Max sort of scooped me up and held me close to him, making me blush madly, "You're one feisty kitty."

Our faces were centimeters apart, and I was afraid of what was going to happen next.

I got out of his hold, and sat up.

"Soo, I kinda want to change so, do you mind?" I rubbed the back of my neck.

"Oh, it's okay," Max got his things and left my tent.

I flopped back on my cot and yelled into my pillow.

"WHY?!"

The weird thing was the pillow had his scent on it.

He always smelled like Honey and a tiny bit of cologne for some reason, pretty odd but it's not bad.

Most boys I've met smell like B.O. and rotten cheese.

"God, what's wrong with me?"

I changed into a white T-shirt that said "GOOD VIBES" with a sort of 3-D effect that has the red and blue text mess with your eyes.

I wore light blue denim shorts and white converse for shoes.

"Hey can I come in?" I heard someone ask as I was brushing my hair.

"Yeah."

The one who stepping in surprised me.

It was Gwen.

"Hey," I Said.

"So David told me what he saw this morning," Gwen started.

"Ahh! It's not what you think! We did nothing!" I panicked thinking she got the wrong idea.

"Geez Kid, calm down. You're 13, I wasn't thinking of anything like that. I just wanted to know.." She paused, "What is up between you two?"

"Well, we're friends," I shrugged.

"Y/n, he punched a bear for you, willing to comfort you, got in a fight with Pikeman for you, and willingly danced with you, and to top it all, slept in your tent with you. He obviously likes you."

"No way.. What would he see in me?" I asked.

"Y/n, Don't be naive. Everyone knows it, even David, the most oblivious and air-headed person here, knows it," Gwen sighed.

"..." I stayed silent.

"Well, Do you like him back?" Gwen asked.

"..I don't know," I shrugged.

"Tell me how you feel around him."

"I always feel safe around him. He's always gentle and kind with me, and is always there for me. I also think that he's hilarious and really cute. And he's also pretty handsome, not gonna lie," I admitted.

"Then what are you waiting for? You like him back," Gwen told me.

"What do I do? My last relationship went down in flames and I know Max wouldn't break my heart like that but I'm still scared!" I freaked out.

"Listen Y/n, I want you to listen to what your heart tells you. That's all I can advise," Gwen said getting out of my tent, "See you at breakfast."

"Later Gwen. Thank you."

I started thinking of a Disney song, so I got out my phone and played it with earbuds in.

I immediately started singing because I relate to it.

*Play song Now*

If there's a prize for rotten judgment
I guess I've already won that
No man is worth the aggravation
That's ancient history; been there, done that

I paused for the Muses part.

No chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no

I laid down on my cot.

It's too cliché
I won't say I'm in love

I thought my heart had learned its lesson.
It feels so good when you start out.
My head is screaming "Get a grip, girl Unless you're dying to cry your heart out!"

I did the "Ooh.." and the "Oh No.." while the Muses sang their part.

No chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no.

This scene won't play
I won't say I'm in love.

You're way off base, I won't say it
Get off my case, I won't say it

The muses said they're part and I lifted and hugged my pillow for the last part.

Ohhh...
At least out loud
I won't say I'm in love.

The muses ended the song with their part and I hugged the pillow tightly.

"I need to go talk to Jaiden."

*sorry if it was bad, I just wanted to get a chapter out*
