A.N.// POV CHANGE!!!!!!

Dakota's POV
When we arrived the place looked marvelous. I was stunned. Their was a fountain and a huge mansion. "Your fucking with me right Max" I asked as we parked.  "Nope this is my brothers house. He also runs his own company. And also theirs gonna be people in there just ignore them honestly; they are just the butlers and maids. They don't talk much." Max said causally stepping out of the car.

He opened the door and started up the stairs with the board we had gotten. His leg looked terrible in the stilt he was given. I felt bad even tho I didn't really know why he had it? Maybe he hurt himself? Or maybe a birth defect? I don't know. We walked up and into his room. It was huge. I liked his bed tho it was big too even if he was a little smaller than the average person.

"U okay?" Max asked as he gestured for me to sit down. "Oh yea sorry just a big room. I wasn't expecting my partner to own a mansion." I chuckled sitting down on the bed. He took off the stilt and laid his leg beside the board.

"Okay so I baught a lot of equipment. I got little toys: trees, Soldiers, houses, ect. I also got this cover that looks like grass. We can cut it off and make it into grass patches and stuff. I also got sand and wax paper to make sand bars. And a lot more. Then we got scissors, 4 different glues, gorilla, super glue, school glue, and this fabric glue, and then u have knifes razors and other things." He said laying out and stacking things around his bed.

"You didn't have to pay for it all by yourself. If u knew u we're gonna get this much I would of at least paid my half of it." I said feeling bad now. "Oh it's fine it was only $300.00. The gorilla glue and cover were the most. The cover was $80.00and the glue was $50.00. But I did get the bigger bottle so it's not that bad. " Max said like it was nothing.

"So why did you move here?" He asked as we started adding the soldiers in the trees. We had cut some of the heads off and hid them in the bushes to make it look like the solider was hiding in the bushes. It was a lot.   "Umm well my dad and mom were fighting and he was drunk so he started yelling and he smacked her and tried killing her. Umm... so Ummm; so my mom left. I could of stayed with my dad but I didn't want to be with that alcoholic piece of shit. But my mom got a new boyfriend and had a kid. So I have to little sisters. One is about to be 4 and the other is 16 months younger than me. She doesn't know about my dad because she was at a friends house. But she thinks they just grew apart. But now he's gone and we have no idea we're he went. He always said he wanted to go to London to live so he might be there. But if I ever see him around my mom I'll kill him. He's not doing that again." I felt the tears come forward but I pushed them back. Max looked down. "I'm sorry man. I know how that feels. I'm living with my brother because of something like that. Except I lost my dad way before and it was my mom who hit me and yelled at me. So my brother took me in." He said looking like he was blank. No emotions. He sighed and went back to cutting the gun out of this mans arms and glueing it to this man laying down. It looked like a sniper. We also made a few dead people. To make it look like they were killed. It was actually going really well.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz" I grabbed my phone it was my sister. "Dakota speaking. Alright. Okay I will. Love you sis. Be safe I'll be home in 40. Okay drive safe. Love you Tay."

I hung up the phone. "Hey is it okay if ur brother could drive me home I got to go my mom is starting to worry." I asked max as he struggled to get the gun to stay still long enough for the super glue to dry on right. He finally had it set right. "Yea just leave everything. I'll probably do a little more sand and stuff tonight. And then we can work on it together another day." He said standing up and sliding in his stilt. "Hey one more question if u don't mind." I said raiding my hand to my chest. "Yea?" He said wrapping the last strap.

"Why do you have a stilt on ur leg? You don't have to answer that I'm just kinda curious I've never noticed till when we was leaving class and I didn't want to make you feel awkward in class by asking you there. So I was just wondering." I said getting a little worried that he'd get mad or something for asking.

"Umm well there's these 2 kids that hate me and they had beat me up before but it wasn't what did it. Umm I went into a bathroom that's by the east side exit of the school and I guess I chose the wrong one because they were there and they broke my leg. So I'm stuck with this for a little bit now." Max said so causally like it was nothing. "Oh I'm sorry" I said grabbing my bag. "I'll met you outside."

"Thanks for driving me home I had a nice stay. I'll see you tomorrow in class max. Have a good night" I said heading in. I s teamed through the the house. "Hey mom I'm home." She came and gave me a hug. "Hey sweet heart. Dinner will be ready in a bit." "Alright mom." I headed to my room to put my stuff away and got ready for dinner and then bed. I was tired.
